Coloured Rice Phenolic Extracts Increase Expression of Genes Associated with Insulin Secretion in Rat Pancreatic Insulinoma β-cells

Glucose-induced oxidative stress is associated with the overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which may dysregulate the expression of genes controlling insulin secretion leading to β-cell dysfunction, a hallmark of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study investigated the impact of col...

description Glucose-induced oxidative stress is associated with the overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which may dysregulate the expression of genes controlling insulin secretion leading to β-cell dysfunction, a hallmark of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study investigated the impact of coloured rice phenolic extracts (CRPEs) on the expression of key genes associated with β-cell function in pancreatic β-cells (INS-1E). These genes included glucose transporter 2 (<i>Glut2</i>)<i>,</i> silent mating type information regulation 2 homolog 1 (<i>Sirt1</i>)<i>,</i> mitochondrial transcription factor A (<i>Tfam</i>)<i>,</i> pancreatic/duodenal homeobox protein 1 (<i>Pdx-1</i>) and insulin 1 (<i>Ins1</i>). INS-1E cells were cultured in high glucose (25 mM) to induce glucotoxic stress conditions (HGSC) and in normal glucose conditions (NGC-11.1 mM) to represent normal β-cell function. Cells were treated with CRPEs derived from two coloured rice cultivars, Purple and Yunlu29-red varieties at concentrations ranged from 50 to 250 µg/mL. CRPEs upregulated the expression of <i>Glut2, Sirt1</i> and <i>Pdx-1</i> significantly at 250 µg/mL under HGSC. CRPEs from both cultivars also upregulated <i>Glut2, Sirt1, Tfam, Pdx-1</i> and <i>Ins1</i> markedly at 250 µg/mL under NGC with Yunlu29 having the greatest effect. These data suggest that CRPEs may reduce β-cell dysfunction in T2DM by upregulating the expression of genes involved in insulin secretion pathways.
