Aim:To explore the role of the glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP-1R) in geniposide regulated insulin secretion in rat INS-1 insulinoma cells.Methods:Rat INS-1 insulinoma cells were cultured.The content of insulin in the culture medium was measured with ELISA assay.GLP-1R gene in INS-1 cells was knocked down with shRNA interference.The level of GLP-1R protein in INS-1 cells was measured with Western blotting.Results:Geniposide (0.01-100 μmol/L) increased insulin secretion from INS-1 cells in a concentration-dependent manner.Geniposide (10 μmol/L) enhanced acute insulin secretion in response to both the low (5.5 mmol/L) and moderately high levels (11 mmol/L) of glucose.Blockade of GLP-1R with the GLP-1R antagonist exendin (9-39) (200 nmol/L) or knock-down of GLP-1R with shRNA interference in INS-1 cells decreased the effect of geniposide (10 μmol/L) on insulin secretion stimulated by glucose (5.5 mmol/L).Conclusion:Geniposide increases insulin secretion through glucagon-like peptide 1 receptors in rat INS-1 insulinoma cells.
