Streptozotocin injection in animals destroys pancreatic beta cells, leading to insulinopenic diabetes. Here, we evaluated the toxic effect of streptozotocin (STZ) in GLUT2(-/-) mice reexpressing either GLUT1 or GLUT2 in their 13 cells under the rat insulin promoter (RIPG1 x G2(-/-) and RIPG2 X G2(-/-) mice, respectively). We demonstrated that injection of STZ into RIFPG2 X G2(-/-) mice induced hyperglycemia (>20 mM) and an similar to80% reduction in pancreatic insulin content. In vitro, the viability of RIFPG2 X G2(-/-) islets was also strongly reduced. In contrast, STZ did not induce hyperglycemia in RIPG1 X G2(-/-) mice and did not reduce pancreatic insulin content. The viability of in vitro cultured RIPG1 X G2(-/-) islets was also unaffected by STZ. As islets from each type of transgenic mice were functionally indistinguishable, these data strongly support the notion that STZ toxicity toward 0 cells depends on the expression of GLUT2.
