Aims/hypothesis Adipocytes secrete signalling molecules that elicit responses from target cells, including pancreatic beta cells. Wnt signalling molecules have recently been identified as novel adipocyte-derived factors. They also regulate insulin secretion in pancreatic beta cells and the cell cycle. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of adipocyte-derived Wnt signalling molecules on insulin secretion and beta cell proliferation.Methods Human adipocytes were isolated to generate fat cell-conditioned medium (FCCM). Ins-1 cells were stimulated with FCCM and transiently transfected with reporter genes. Proliferation assays using [H-3]thymidine incorporation were carried out in Ins-1 cells and primary islet cells. Insulin secretion from primary islets was assessed by radioimmunoassay. Gene expression in primary islets was assessed by Taqman PCR.Results Treatment with human FCCM increased the transcription of a T cell-specific transcription factor reporter gene (TOPFLASH) in Ins-1 cells (241%, p
