However, this little endocrine organ plays a critical role in maintaining glucose homeostasis by the regulated secretion of insulin (by \u03b2-cells) and glucagon (by \u03b1-cells). The rapid increase in the incidence of diabetes worldwide has spurred renewed interest in islet cell biology. Some of the most widely prescribed oral drugs for treating type 2 diabetes include agents that bind and activate the nuclear hormone receptor, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-\u03b3. As a first step in addressing potential roles of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-\u03b3 and other nuclear hormone receptors (NHRs) in the biology of the endocrine pancreas, we have used quantitative real-time PCR to profile the expression of all 49 members of the mouse NHR superfamily in primary islets, and cell lines that represent \u03b1-cells (\u03b1TC1) and \u03b2-cells (\u03b2TC6 and MIN6). In summary, 19 NHR members were highly expressed in both \u03b1- and \u03b2-cell lines, 13 receptors showed predominant expression (at least an 8-fold difference) in \u03b1- vs. \u03b2-cell lines, and 10 NHRs were not expressed in the endocrine pancreas. In addition we evaluated the relative expression of these transcription factors during hyperglycemia and found that 16 NHRs showed significantly altered mRNA levels in mouse islets. A similar survey was conducted in primary human islets to reveal several significant differences in NHR expression between mouse and man. These data identify potential therapeutic targets in the endocrine pancreas for the treatment of diabetes mellitus.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1210\/me.2007-0568","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,8,1]],"date-time":"2008-08-01T01:33:44Z","timestamp":1217554424000},"page":"2353-2363","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":54,"title":["Research
