| Abstract | Chronic exposure of HIT-T15 beta cells to elevated glucose concentrations leads to decreased insulin gene transcription. The reduction in expression is accompanied by diminished binding of a glucose-sensitive transcription factor (termed GSTF) that interacts with two (A+T)-rich elements within the 5' flanking control region of the insulin gene. In this study we examined whether GSTF corresponds to the recently cloned insulin gene transcription factor STF-1, a homeodomain protein whose expression is restricted to the nucleus of endodermal cells of the duodenum and pancreas. We found that an affinity-purified antibody recognizing STF-1 supershifted the GSTF activator complex formed from HIT-T15 extracts. In addition, we demonstrated a reduction in STF-1 mRNA and protein levels that closely correlated with the change in GSTF binding in HIT-T15 cells chronically cultured under supraphysiologic glucose concentrations. The reduction in STF-1 expression in these cells could be accounted for by a change in the rate of STF-1 gene transcription, suggesting a posttranscriptional control mechanism. In support of this hypothesis, no STF-1 mRNA accumulated in HIT-T15 cells passaged in 11.1 mM glucose. The only RNA species detected was a 6.4-kb STF-1 RNA species that hybridized with 5' and 3' STF-1-specific cDNA probes. We suggest that the 6.4-kb RNA represents an STF-1 mRNA precursor and that splicing of this RNA is defective in these cells. Overall, this study suggests that reduced expression of a key transcriptional regulatory factor, STF-1, contributes to the decrease in insulin gene transcription in HIT-T15 cells chronically cultured in supraphysiologic glucose concentration. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
