PG - 187-93 LID - S0014-2999(12)00797-2 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.ejphar.2012.09.023 [doi] AB - Loss of beta cells is a pathogenic cause for the development of type 2 diabetes. High glucose/free fatty acid (HG/FFA)-induced glucolipotoxicity was thought to play a role in the beta cell loss. Thus, application of small molecules capable of preventing HG/FFA-induced glucolipotoxicty to beta cells could be an avenue for a therapeutic intervention for the development of type 2 diabetes. We screened a representative library supplied from Korean Chemical Bank for prevention of high glucose/palmitate (HG/PA)-induced viability reduction of INS-1 beta cells and were able to identify a new small molecule (DW1182v) with a function to protect HG/PA-induced glucolipotoxicity. The protective effect was specific to HG/PA-induced beta cell death since DW1182v did not protect streptozotocin- or cytokine-induced INS-1 cell death. The protective effect by DW1182v was likely due to the reduction of death-promoting endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress responses such as phospho-C-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP). Treatment of obese diabetic db/db mice with DW1182v preserved islet integrity and thus increased insulin secretion and lowered blood glucose after glucose infusion. These results suggest that a small molecule protecting HG/PA-induced glucolipotoxicity to beta cells can be a new therapeutic candidate to prevent the development of type 2 diabetes.
