The question posed by these studies was whether chronic adaptive changes in glucose-stimulated insulin secretion are accompanied by comparable changes in islet Beta-cell glucose transporter (GLUT 2) gene expression. Control, fasted (3-day), insulin-injected hypoglycaemic (5-day), and dexamethasone-treated (4-day) rats (n = 5 for each condition), were studied. After fasting significant decrements in proinsulin mRNA/microgram RNA (-32%, p &lt; 0.05) and islet amyloid polypeptide mRNA/microgram RNA (-44%, p &lt; 0.05) were observed, while there was no change in GLUT 2 mRNA/microgram RNA (-13%, p &gt; 0.05). After insulin-induced hypoglycaemia, decrements in proinsulin mRNA/microgram RNA (-49%, p &lt; 0.01) and islet amyloid polypeptide mRNA/microgram RNA (-44%, p &lt; 0.01) were also observed, with no change in islet GLUT 2 mRNA/microgram RNA (-18%, p &gt; 0.05). Dexamethasone treatment resulted in a marked stimulatory effect on proinsulin mRNA/microgram RNA (+236%, p &lt; 0.001) and islet amyloid polypeptide mRNA/microgram RNA (+221%, p &lt; 0.01), while again there was no change in islet GLUT 2 mRNA/microgram RNA (+0.3%, p &gt; 0.05). Quantitative immunoblot analysis with a GLUT 2 specific antibody revealed no change in islet GLUT 2 protein with fasting, but a small decrease (-39 +/- 11%) in islet GLUT 2/microgram protein after insulin-induced hypoglycaemia. These results do not support the hypothesis that chronic changes in glucose-stimulated insulin secretion are accompanied by changes in GLUT 2 expression. In contrast to the lack of correlation with GLUT 2, there was a striking correlation between proinsulin and islet amyloid polypeptide mRNAs for all experimental conditions (r = 0.974, p &lt; 0.001).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
