Using transgenic mice technology, it has now become possible to test directly whether VIP and PHM-27 can enhance glucose-induced insulin secretion and reduce blood glucose in vivo. By microinjecting the entire human VIP gene ligated to the rat insulin II promoter, we have established a mouse model that overproduces VIP and PHM-27 in pancreatic beta cells. VIP was secreted from transgenic islets in a glucose-dependent manner. Analyses of these VIP-transgenic mice indicated that the transgene efficiently enhances glucose-induced insulin secretion and significantly reduces blood glucose as compared with control mice. The transgene also ameliorated glucose intolerance of 70% depancreatized mice. The present results suggest that somatic cell gene therapy directed to diabetic islets by human VIP/PHM-27 gene introduction may provide a means to improve the secretory function of the diabetic islets.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).

D007515 Islets of Langerhans Irregular microscopic structures consisting of cords of endocrine cells that are scattered throughout the PANCREAS among the exocrine acini. Each islet is surrounded by connective tissue fibers and penetrated by a network of capillaries. There are four major cell types. The most abundant beta cells (50-80%) secrete INSULIN. Alpha cells (5-20%) secrete GLUCAGON. PP cells (10-35%) secrete PANCREATIC POLYPEPTIDE. Delta cells (~5%) secrete SOMATOSTATIN.

D010451 Peptide PHI A 27-amino acid peptide with histidine at the N-terminal and isoleucine amide at the C-terminal. The exact amino acid composition of the peptide is species dependent. The peptide is secreted in the intestine, but is found in the nervous system, many organs, and in the majority of peripheral tissues. It has a wide range of biological actions, affecting the cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, respiratory, and central nervous systems.
