A thorough examination of glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) expression has been hampered by difficulty in isolating widely dispersed, GIP-producing enteroendocrine K-cells. To elucidate the molecular mechanisms governing the regulation of GIP expression, 14 intestinal and pancreatic cell lines were assessed for their suitability for studies examining GIP expression. Both STC-1 cells and the pancreatic cell line PTC-3 were found to express GIP mRNA and secrete biologically active GIP. However, levels of GIP mRNA and bioactive peptide and the activity of transfected GIP reporter constructs were significantly lower in PTC-3 than STC-1 cells. When PTC-3 cells were analyzed for transcription factors known to be important for GIP expression, PDX-1 and ISL-1, but not GATA-4, were detected. Double staining for GIP-I and GATA-4 in mouse duodenum demonstrated GATA-4 expression in intestinal K-cells. Exogenous expression of GATA-4 in PTC-3 cells led to marked increases in both GIP transcription and secretion. Lastly suppression of GATA-4 via RNA interference, in GTC-1 cells, a subpopulation of STC-1 cells with high endogenous GIP expression resulted in a marked an attenuation of GIP promoter activity. Our data support the hypothesis that GATA-4 may function to augment or enhance GIP expression rather than act as an initiator of GIP transcription. (c) 2008 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
