Increased protein PTEN expression in live and muscle in insulin resistant diabetic KKAy mice / 基础医学与临床

ABSTRACT

Objective To detect protein PTEN in live and muscle tissue of KKAy diabetic mice and to investigate whether PTEN is associated with the insulin resistance in diabetic KKAy mice.Methods Animals were divided into normal diet C57BL group(n=7,sixteen-week-old C57BL mice),high fat diet C57BL group(n=7),diabetic KKAy group(n=7),the latter two groups were fed with normal diet until week 12,followed by high fat diet for 4 weeks.Blood glucose was measured every week,it would be diagnosed of diabetes if blood glucose more than 300 mg/dl(16.7 mmol/L) in two consecutive weeks.Dispatched the mice,took quadriceps of femoris muscle and liver tissue,added tissue lytic solution,measured the protein concentration by Bradford method and detect the PTEN protein expression in muscle and liver tissue by Western bolts methods.Results The PTEN protein level was significantly increased in quadriceps muscle and live tissue in KKAy mice as compared to the both age-matched C57BL control groups(P
