Prolonged exposure to palmitate increased the expression of ACE and AngII type 1 receptor (ATR1) and decreased the ACE2 expression, which was partly offset by berberine. In ob/ob mice, berberine increased in tolerance to glucose, improved abnormal -cell and -cell distributions, upregulated ACE2 expression, and decreased autophagosomes and the expression of LC3 and SQSTM1/p62. Autophagosomes and expression of LC3 and SQSTM1/p62 were increased in ACE2KO mice.
We demonstrated that berberine may improve the pancreatic islet function by regulating local RAS-mediated autophagy under metabolic stress.
棕榈酸处理延长可增加 ACE 和血管紧张素 II 型 1 型受体(ATR1)的表达,降低 ACE2 的表达,而小檗碱可部分抵消这种作用。在 ob/ob 小鼠中,小檗碱增加了对葡萄糖的耐受性,改善了异常的β细胞和α细胞分布,上调了 ACE2 的表达,减少了自噬体和 LC3 和 SQSTM1/p62 的表达。ACE2KO 小鼠的自噬体和 LC3 和 SQSTM1/p62 的表达增加。
我们表明,小檗碱可通过调节代谢应激下局部 RAS 介导的自噬来改善胰岛功能。
