Aims/hypothesisThe transcription factor, forkhead box (FOX)O1, is involved in fatty acid-induced apoptosis in pancreatic beta cells, but the precise mechanism is poorly understood. We aimed to identify which direct downstream targets of FOXO1 are involved in palmitate-induced apoptosis in the pancreatic beta cell line MIN6.MethodsChromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) coupled to a DNA selection and ligation technique (ChIP–DSL) was used to identify the direct targets of FOXO1. The mRNA level was examined by real-time PCR assay. The ChIP–DSL results were verified using ChIP-PCR and luciferase assay, respectively. The cell apoptosis rate was determined by TUNEL assay and by scoring cells with pycnotic nuclei.ResultsWe identified 189 target genes and selected 106 targets for expression analysis in MIN6 cells treated with palmitate. The results showed that six genes were significantly upregulated and four were downregulated. Binding of FOXO1 to the promoters was determined by ChIP-PCR and confirmed by luciferase assay. Among the ten up- and downregulated genes, mRNA expression ofA930038C07Rikwas significantly decreased and that ofPpa1was increased in 8-week-olddb/dbmice. The apoptosis assay showed that overproduction of the protein ‘RIKEN cDNA A930038C07’ (A930038C07Rik) drastically enhanced palmitate-induced apoptosis, while pyrophosphatase (inorganic) 1 (PPA1) partially protected the cells from apoptosis. Knockdown of PPA1, moreover, significantly increased apoptosis.Conclusions/interpretationWe identified for the first time FOXO1 targets in MIN6 cells treated with palmitate, thus revealing the important roles of A930038C07Rik and PPA1 in palmitate-induced cell apoptosis. These results shed light on the mechanisms of palmitate-induced apoptosis in pancreatic beta cells.
