摘要
The rat insulinoma cell line INS-1 is the most commonly used clonal cell model in pancreatic beta-cell research. Considering the multihormonality of many insulinomas we examined as to how INS-1 cells comply with the notion of resembling a pure P-cell line. Glucagon immunoassays revealed that INS-1 cells secrete glucagon in a similar range as islets. By immunohistochemistry we detected a cytoplasmic glucagon signal in INS-1 cells which colocalized with C-peptide. Cellular content of preproglucagon-mRNA and glucagon protein in INS-1 cells was less than two percent of the respective values in islets, which probably reflects differences in the intracellular metabolism and/or secretory pathways. Taken together, it is obvious that INS-1 cells do not represent an exclusively insulin producing beta-cell line. (c) 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
