HFD induced obesity Significance: Gene analysis of K-cells and GIP hypersecretion in GIP-GFP isolated from GIP-GFP knock-in mice heterozygous mice in vivo. enabled identification of Rfx6. Immunohistochemical and flow cytometry analysis showed no significant difference SUMMARY in K-cell number between control-fat diet Gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP) is an (CFD)-fed and HFD-fed mice. However, incretin released from enteroendocrine GIP content in upper small intestine and K-cells in response to nutrient ingestion. GIP mRNA expression in K-cells were GIP potentiates glucose-stimulated insulin significantly increased in HFD-fed mice secretion and induces energy compared to those in CFD-fed mice. accumulation into adipose tissue, resulting Furthermore, expression levels of Rfx6 in obesity. Plasma GIP levels are reported mRNA were increased in K-cells of to be increased in the obese state. However, HFD-fed mice. These results suggest that the molecular mechanisms of GIP Rfx6 increases GIP expression and content secretion and high-fat diet (HFD)-induced in K-cells and is involved in GIP GIP hypersecretion remain unclear, hypersecretion in HFD-induced obesity. primarily due to difficulties in separating Obesity leads to insulin resistance K-cells from other intestinal epithelial cells characterized by fasting hyperinsulinemia in vivo. In the present study, GIP-GFP and excessive insulin secretion to maintain knock-in mice that enable us to visualize euglycemia after meal ingestion (1). Obesity K-cells by EGFP were established. is an important risk factor in progression to Microarray analysis of isolated K-cells type 2 diabetes mellitus (2) as well as 1 Rfx6 increases GIP mRNA expression in K-cells cardiovascular disease (3), and reduction of fluorescence. We found that the obesity can normalize hyperinsulinemia and transcriptional factor regulatory factor X 6 impede the progression of diabetes and (Rfx6) is expressed exclusively in K-cells of arteriosclerosis. upper small intestine and is involved in GIP Gastric inhibitory polypeptide, also called mRNA expression in the mouse small glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide intestinal cell line STC-1. Furthermore, (GIP), and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) expression of Rfx6 as well as Pdx1 was are the incretins, peptide hormones released found to be increased in K-cells of from the gastrointestinal tract into circulation HFD-induced obese mice. Thus, GIP in response to meal ingestion that potentiate expression is stimulated by both Rfx6 and glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (4, 5). Pdx1, suggesting that these transcriptional GIP is secreted from enteroendocrine K-cells factors play an important role in both GIP located in the duodenum and upper small expression and GIP hypersecretion in intestine; GLP-1 is secreted from HFD-induced obesity. enteroendocrine L-cells located in lower small intestine and colon. GIP binds to the EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURES GIP receptor (GIPR) on the surface of Animals― We designed targeting vector pancreatic -cells, adipose tissue and constructs as short osteoblasts, and stimulates insulin secretion -EGFP-polyA-loxp-Neo-loxp-long cassettes (6), fat accumulation (7), and bone formation using mouse B6N BAC Clone (ID: (8), respectively, by increasing the level of RP23-31E4 and RP23-383D10).

Next, GIPR-deficient mice exhibit insufficient the targeting vector was injected in compensatory insulin secretion upon high-fat embryonic stem cells from C57BL6 mice and loading (9), suggesting that GIP plays a a Neo resistance strain was established. The critical role in maintaining blood glucose ES cells positive for the knock-in gene were levels by hypersecretion of insulin in selected by southern blot analysis. The diet-induced obesity. We also reported that established ES cells were then injected into sensitivity of GIPR to GIP in -cells is the blastocyst in order to obtain chimeric increased in high-fat diet (HFD)-induced mice. Finally, we generated hetero-mutant obese mice (10). In addition, GIPR is mice by mating the chimeric mice with wild expressed in adipose tissue (11), and C57BL6. The mice were housed in an increases glucose and triglyceride uptake in air-controlled (temperature 25°C) room with fat cells (12, 13). Thus, GIP has both direct dark–light cycle of 10 h and 14 h, and indirect effects on the accumulation of respectively. Animal care and procedures energy into adipose tissue.
