ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate whether HIV-1 protease inhibitor nelfinavir alters the insulin stimulated phosphorylation of insulin signaling parameters in rat insulinoma INS-1 cells.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>INS-1 cells were incubated with nelfinavir for 48 h and stimulated with 100 nmol/L insulin for 2 min. Immunoprecipitation and Western blot analysis of the insulin stimulated insulin receptor substrate (IRS)-1,-2 and Akt-Thr(308) phosphorylation were performed on cell lysates. Cytotoxic effects of nelfinavir were measured by cell count with trypan blue and MTT reduction test.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>Nelfinavir decreased insulin stimulated phosphorylation of IRS-2 and Akt-Thr(308) in a dose-dependent manner; for 10 micromol/L of nelfinavir, the decrease was 52% and 55%, respectively.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Treatment with nelfinavir might impair IRS-2-mediated signaling in pancreatic beta cells.</p>
