Abstract
- The objective was to investigate the mechanism of the protective effect of silibinin on amylin/Aβ<subscript>1−42</subscript>-induced INS-1 cell apoptosis, with special reference to the roles of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) and protein kinase A (PKA). The effects of silibinin on apoptosis, insulin secretion, GLP-1R, and PKA expression in the INS-1 cells treated with amylin/Aβ<subscript>1−42</subscript> were examined. INS-1 cells exposed to amylin showed increased TUNEL-positive ratio, reduced expression of GLP-1R and PKA. GLP-1R antagonists or PKA inhibitor enhanced the expression of apoptosis-associated proteins and TUNEL-positive ratio. Silibinin exerted antiapoptotic effect on and upregulation of GLP-1R and PKA. However, Aβ<subscript>1−42</subscript>-induced INS-1 cell apoptosis, GLP-1R, and PKA expressions were not changed. Our results indicate that down-regulation of GLP-1R and PKA contributes to INS-1 cell apoptosis induced with amylin. Silibinin protects INS-1 cells from amylin-induced apoptosis through activation of GLP-1R/PKA signaling. Silibinin's inhibition of the toxic effects of Aβ<subscript>1−42</subscript> is independent of GLP-1R/PKA pathway. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
