BackgroundWe previously demonstrated that somatostatin receptor type 5 (SSTR5) gene ablation results in alterations in insulin secretion and glucose metabolism, accompanied by morphologic alterations in the islets of Langerhans. The underlying mechanism(s) by which SSTR5 exerts its cellular functions remain(s) unknown. We hypothesized that SSTR5 mediates the inhibitory effect of somatostatin (SST) on insulin secretion and islet proliferation by regulating a specific set of pancreatic genes.MethodsTo identify SSTR5-regulated pancreatic genes, gene expression microarray analysis was performed on the whole pancreas of 1- and 3-month-old wild-type (WT) andSSTR5knockout (SSTR5−/−) male mice. Real-time RT-PCR and immunofluorescence were performed to validate selected differentially expressed genes.ResultsA set of 143 probes were identified to be differentially expressed in the pancreas of 1-month-oldSSTR5−/−mice, 72 of which were downregulated and 71 upregulated. At 3 months of age,SSTR5gene ablation resulted in downregulation of a set of 30 probes and upregulation of a set of 37 probes. Among these differentially expressed genes, there were 15 and 5 genes that were upregulated and downregulated, respectively, in mice at both 1 and 3 months of age. Three genes,PAP/INGAP,ANG, andTDE1, were selected to be validated by real-time RT-PCR and immunofluorescence.ConclusionsA specific set of genes linked to a wide range of cellular functions such as islet proliferation, apoptosis, angiogenesis, and tumorigenesis were either upregulated or downregulated inSSTR5-deficient male mice compared with their expression in wild-type mice. Therefore, these genes are potentialSSTR5-regulated genes during normal pancreatic development and functional maintenance.
