Objective:To observe the inhibition of phosphorylation serine/threonine kinase(p-Akt)on expression of TERT and to explore the effect and mechanism of apoptosis on islet β cells in high glucose and lipid intervention. Methods:Islet β cells were randomly divided into normal control group
Akt inhibit group
glucose and fatty acid intervention group
glucose and fatty acid intervention +Akt inhibit group. Cell apoptosis was detected by TUNEL and flow cytometry;the protein expressions of p-Akt and TERT were detected by Western blot;insulin secretion was detected by ELISA. Results:Compared with those of control group(apoptosis rate:(2.88±1.25)%;insulin secretion:(0.65±0.10);p-Akt:(0.80±0.07);TERT:(1.63±0.12)
expression of p-Akt(0.55±0.05)and TERT(1.03±0.05)decreased significantly in glucose and fatty acid intervention group
with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).Compared with those of glucose and fatty acid intervention group(apoptosis rate:(38.25±8.63)%;insulin secretion:(0.40±0.09);p-Akt:(0.55±0.05);TERT:(1.03±0.05)
the apoptosis rate(62.00 ±7.13)% was significantly increased and insulin secretion(0.23±0.10)was decreased significantly
expression of p-Akt(0.28±0.07)and TERT(0.61±0.07)was decreased significantly in glucose and fatty acid intervention+Akt inhibit group
with statistically significant differences(P<0.05). Conclusion:Inhibition of pAkt expression may increase the apoptosis of islet β cells induced by the glucose and fatty acid intervention
and its mechanism may be reduced expression level of TERT.
