To obtain a correctly folded human proinsulin, export of proinsulin using Staphylococcal protein A signal sequence-mediated secretion pathway has been attempted in E.coli. A secretion operon for proinsulin was constructed by consecutively connecting T7 promoter, SPA ribosome binding site, SPA signal sequence gene, and human proinsulin gene. Little immunoreactive proinsulin was detected in the periplasmic space and. culture medium, and not even in cytoplasmic space. The qualitative analysis of transcribed proinsulin mRNA and the in vitro transcription/translation experiment suggests that the negligible level of proinsulin export appears to be due to intracellular degradation of proinsulin, rather than due to the blockage during translocation. However, expression of proinsulin fusion protein such as MBP-proinsulin could dramatically increase export of proinsulin in E.coli.

The objective of this study was to determine the metabolic effect of exogenous insulin on Sprague-Dawley rats. In a short-term study, the rats were injected insulin and sacrificed at 0.50, 1, 1.5, 2, 4 and 6hr, respectively. Another group of the rats were injected long-acting insulin everyday and sacrificed at 0, 10, 20 and 30days, respectively. Levels of hemoglobin, hematocrit, plasma glucose, plasma protein, plasma albmin, plasma lipids, cholesterol were determined for each experimental group. Also microscopic observation of fat infiltration of liver and aorta performed. No significant abnormality was abserved either at the short-term or at the long-term insulin injection on normal rats.

몇 년 전부터 '웰빙'에 대한 사회적 관심과 언론매체에서 제공되는 당뇨병에 관한 다양한 정보는 당뇨인 뿐만 아니라 일반인에게까지 당뇨병의 위험성과 혈당조절의 중요성을 깨닫게 해주었다. 그러나 수명의 증가는 당뇨병과 더불어 살아가야 할 삶의 기간을 늘렸고, 또한 앞으로 합병증과 함께 살아가야 할 시간도 더욱 늘어나게 될 것이다. 당뇨합병증은 일반적으로 혈당조절 정도와 반비례해서 발생한다. 당 조절이 잘되면 합병증이 안 오거나 늦게 생긴다. 그러나 조절이 안 되는 경우 합병증이 빨리 오고 빨리 진행한다. 그래서 최근에는 과거보다 더욱 엄격한 혈당조절 목표를 제시하고 있어, 좀 더 일찍 몇 가지 혈당강하제를 병합하는 치료(조기 병합치료)를 선택하거나 혹은 좀 더 일찍 인슐린 주사치료(조기 인슐린 치료)를 시작하고 있다. 그러나 이러한 시도들, 특히 조기 인슐린 치료는 환자들의 강력한 저항에 부딪혀 실패하곤 한다. 이러한 저항은 대부분 인슐린 치료에 대한 공포(두려움)나 오해 때문에 발생하며 혈당조절을 어렵게 만든다. 따라서 필자는 당뇨병 발생과 치료에 있어 인슐린의 역할을 설명하고, 거부감 없이 인슐린 치료를 쉽게 할 수 있는 방법을 알아보고자 한다.

제 2형 당뇨병환자에서 식이요법 및 운동요법으로 목표 혈당에 도달하지 못하면 경구혈당강하제를 사용해야한다. 목표 혈당은 물론 개인마다 차이는 있을 수 있지만, 일반적으로 식전혈당 90$\sim$130mg/dl, 식후 2시간 혈당 180mg/dl 미만, 당화혈색소 7% 미만이다. 제 2형 당뇨병의 원인은 인슐린 분비결함과 인슐린 저항성으로 알려져 있으며, 이 중 췌장에서의 인슐린 분비를 촉진시켜 혈당을 조절하는 약물로 설폰요소제와 메글리티나이드 약물이 있다. 최근에 개발되어 국내에서 사용되기 시작한 약물로 글루카곤유사펩티드-1 작용제가 있는데, 이는 인슐린 분비를 촉진시켜 식후 혈당을 조절하는데 도움이 된다.

Longevity is an exciting but difficult subject to study because it is determined by complex processes that require the coordinated action of several genetic factors as well as physiological and environmental influences. Genetic approaches have been applied to animal models to identify the molecular mechanism responsible for longevity. Several experimental model organisms obtained over the last decades suggest that the complete deletion of a single gene by gene targeting has proven to be an invaluable tool for the discovery of the mechanisms underlying longevity. The first discovery of long-lived mutants came from Caenorhabditis elegans research, which identified the insulin/IGF-1 pathway as responsible for longevity in this worm. IGF-1 is a multifunctional polypeptide that has sequence similarity to insulin and is involved in normal growth and development of cells. Several factors in the IGF-1 system have since been studied by gene targeting in the control of longevity in lower species, including nematode and fruit fly. In addition, significant progress has been made using mice models to extend the lifespan by targeted mutations that interfere with growth hormone/IGF-1 and IGF-1 signaling cascades. A recent finding that IGF-1 is involved in aging in mice was achieved by using liver-specific knockout mutant mice, and this clearly demonstrated that the IGF-1 signal pathway can extend the lifespan in both invertebrates and vertebrate models. Although the underlying molecular mechanisms for the control of longevity are not fully understood, it is widely accepted that reduced IGF-1 signaling plays an important role in the control of aging and longevity. Several genes involved in the IGF-1 signaling system are reviewed in relation to longevity in genetically modified mice models.

The influence of normal late pregnancy on insulin action and insulin secretion was studied in the Sprague-Dawley female rats. On 20th day after mating, intravenous glucose tolerance test(IVGTT) was performed in non pregnant control and pregnant rats. As results of IVGTT, glucose disappearance rate was not significantly different in both groups, but secretory response of insulin was significantly(p<0.05) increased in pregnant rat. And the ratio of insulin/glucose was significantly higher in pregnant rats, which means existence of insulin resistance. These insulin resistance was overcomed by increased secretory response of pancreatic insulin. Insulinogenic index(${\Delta}$ insulin/glucose - 5 min) was highly significantly (r=0.62, p<0.01) correlated with progesterone concentration. Glycogen level and amounts of $^{14}C$-glucose incorporated into glycogen after IVGTT were significantly(p<0.05) decreased in the liver, but were not changed significantly in soleus. Glycogen synthase activity of soleus and liver was not differ significantly in the both groups. Insulin binding at varying concentrations of insulin to crude membrane of pregnant liver was not significantly different from control. In conclusions, although these pregnant rats were normal glucose tolerance due to increased secretory response of insulin, that was correlated with progesterone concentration, pregnant rat had insulin resistance. The mechanisms of insulin resistance were not related to defect of insulin binding phase and glycogen synthase, but suggest pre-receptor and/or postreceptor phase.

Anti-diabetic effect of Platycodi radix (PR) extract fractions was determined if vitro by investigating insulin-like action, insulin sensitizing action, glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, gene expression related to ${\beta}-cell$ function and mass, and ${\alpha}$-glucoamylase suppressing action. Insulin-like activity was not promoted by the treatment of PR methanol factions in 373-L1 fibroblast. However, treatment with 0, 20 and 100% PR methanol fractions along with 1 ng/mL insulin increased insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in 373-L1 adipocytes. In addition, the treatment of 0% and 100% methanol fractions along with differentiation inducers significantly increased the differentiation of 373-L1 fibroblasts to adipocytes. These fractions may contain insulin sensitizer. The 20%, 80% and 100% methanol fractions enhanced glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in Min6 cells, insulin secreting cell line. This was related to the mechanism to promote glucose sensing and ${\beta}-cell$ proliferation, which was regulated by the induction of IRS-2, glucokinase and PDX-1 genes. As expected, 20, 80 and 100% methanol fractions increased mRNA levels of IRS-2, glucokinase and PDX-1 genes. However, PR fractions did not affect the ${\alpha}-glucoamylase$ activity in vitro. These data suggested that PR extract fractions have anti-diabetic actions through improving insulin sensitization, glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, and ${\beta}-cell$ proliferation. Therefore, PR extracts can be beneficial for anti-diabetic treatment in lean diabetic patients.
