Abstract:
:Apelin, a newly identified bioactive adipokine, has been found to play important roles in multiple diseases, including diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular diseases with unclear molecular mechanisms. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of apelin on endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in the pancreas of Akita mice, a well-established type 1 diabetic model. Apelin-13 (400 pmol/kg) was injected from tail vein for 10 weeks. The physiological characters of experimental animals were evaluated, pancreatic islet morphology and insulin content were assessed by immunohistochemistry, and ER stress markers in the pancreas were examined by Western blots. Our results indicate apelin treatment significantly ameliorates diabetes-induced reduction in pancreatic islet mass and insulin content. Further studies suggested apelin treatment alleviates ER stress by inhibiting the diabetes induced up-regulation of PERK and IRE1α and chaperones (GRP78, calnexin and Hsp70) levels in Akita mice. We also demonstrated that apelin treatment normalizes the diabetes induced alteration of AKT and ERK activations in the pancreas of Akita mice. Taken together, these results suggest a novel physiological role of apelin in alleviating ER stress in the pancreas of type 1 diabetes.
