However, its role and mechanism of action in diabetes remain elusive. This study aimed to examine the function of GLP1 and analyze the mechanism of effect that GLP1exerts on inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in diabetic mice.Methods: A diabetes model was established in ApoE–/– mice fed a high-fat diet and treated with GLP1 and/or lentivirus-expressing PARP1. PARP1, iNOS, and inflammatory factors in islets were detected by Western blot and ELISA. Islet α cells and β cells and CD8+ T lymphocytes were detected by immunostaining. Islet-cell apoptosis was detected by TUNEL.Results: GLP1 inhibited the expression of PARP1 and iNOS in islets, alleviated decrease in β cells, and suppressed cell apoptosis induced by the high-fat diet. Moreover, GLP1 recovered the decline in insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance in ApoE–/– mice fed the high-fat diet, and the effects of GLP1 were related to the inhibition of COX2 and NFκB expression.Conclusion: GLP1 significantly alleviated the decrease in β-cell numbers, suppressed β-cell apoptosis induced by the high-fat diet, inhibited the expression of iNOS, and alleviated inflammatory islet injury via inhibiting the COX2–NFκB pathway.Keywords: GLP1, islet function, PARP1 |
