ABSTRACT
In this study, transcriptomic and Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) underlined that an ex-vivo TCDD treatment (0.1 nM) stimulated insulin-release in mouse pancreatic islets via the effect on the Akt-mTOR-p70S6K, AMPK and ERK1/2 pathways. Functional studies using both ex-vivo islets and the mouse ß-cell-line (Min-6) validated the stimulatory effects of TCDD (0.1 and 1 nM) on basal-insulin secretion. At 0.1 nM TCDD treatment on Min-6, Western blot analysis showed activation of ERK1/2 and decreased expression of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDK). A reduction of PDK expression is associated with an increase of pyruvate dehydrogenase flux. This observation was supported by the detection of significantly higher cellular ATP levels, an increase of glucose-stimulated-insulin-secretion (GSIS), and an inhibition of the AMPK pathway. At 1 nM TCDD treatment on Min-6, significant inhibitions of the Akt-mTOR pathway, cellular ATP production, and GSIS were evident. The experimental studies in Min-6 supported the IPA of transcriptomic data in pancreatic islets. Collectively, TCDD treatment caused an elevated basal-insulin release in both islets and ß-cell cultures. Moreover, our data revealed that the modulation of the Akt-mTOR-p70S6K, AMPK and ERK1/2 pathways might be an important component of the mechanism for the TCDD-perturbing effects on ATP production in ß-cells in affecting insulin secretion.
