The role of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) in pancreatic ?-cell apoptosis is
still controversial, and the reasons for the discrepancies have not been
clarified. In the current study, we observed the effects of two well-known AMPK
activators 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleoside (AICAR) and metformin,
on apoptosis in rat insulinoma INS-1E cells, and further explored their possible
mechanisms. Both AICAR and metformin protected INS-1E cells from
palmitate-induced apoptosis, as reflected by decreases in both cleaved caspase 3
protein expression and caspase 3/7 activity, and these protective effects were
abrogated by AMPK inhibitor compound C. The protective action of AICAR was
probably mediated by the suppression of triacylglycerol accumulation, increase in
Akt phosphorylation and decrease in p38 MAPK phosphorylation, while metformin
might exert its protective effect on INS-1E cells by decreases in both JNK and
p38 MAPK phosphorylation. All these regulations were dependent on AMPK
activation. However, under standard culture condition, AICAR increased JNK
phosphorylation and promoted INS-1E cell apoptosis in an AMPK-dependent manner,
whereas metformin showed no effect on apoptosis. Our study revealed that AMPK
activators AICAR and metformin exhibited different effects on INS-1E cell
apoptosis under different culture conditions, which might be largely attributed
to different downstream mediators. Our results provided new and informative clues
for better understanding of the role of AMPK in ?-cell apoptosis.
