[Abstract]
Objective To study the effect of gentiopicrosid (GPS) on insulin resistance in skeletal muscle of the type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) mice and explore its mechanism. Methods After C57BL/6J mice were fed with high-fat diet for 10 weeks, the T2DM model was induced by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ). The successful model mice were randomly divided into model group, GPS low and high dose (25 and 50 mg·kg−1) groups, and the mice in the normal diet group were administered ig for eight weeks. The control group and model group were ig given 0.5% sodium carboxymethyl cellulose. Body mass, postprandial random blood glucose (PBG) and fasting blood glucose (FBG) were measured weekly. Oral glucose tolerance and insulin tolerance tests were carried out. Hemoglobin a1c (HbA1c) was measured by blood sampling at tail tip 1 week before the mice were killed. The serum lipid content was determined by kit method after killing mice. The effect of GPS on skeletal muscle morphology in diabetic mice were observed by pathological staining. The oxidative stress related indexes in serum and skeletal muscle of diabetic mice were determined by biochemical method. The levels of the insulin and pancreatic hyperglycemia in pancreas of the mice were measured by immunofluorescence. The expressions of the phosphoinositide 3- kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt) signal pathway, nuclear factor E2 associated factor 2 (Nrf2) signal pathway and insulin resistance signal pathway in skeletal muscle were evaluated by Western blotting. Results Compared with the model group, GPS reduced the levels of blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin in T2DM mice (P < 0.05 and 0.01). GPS obviously attenuated the abnormal oral glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity of the T2DM mice (P < 0.05 and 0.01). GPS discernibly increased the content of insulin (P < 0.05 and 0.01), decreased the content of glucagon in pancreas (P < 0.05 and 0.01), and ameliorated the morphological abnormalities of skeletal muscle in T2DM mice. Additionally, GPS alleviated the dyslipidemia, enhanced the activity of antioxidant enzymes and increased the levels of antioxidant substances (P < 0.05 and 0.01), and reduced the content of malondialdehyde (MDA) in serum and skeletal muscle of the T2DM mice (P < 0.05). The results of protein detection showed that GPS upregulated the expression of phosphorylated proteins PI3K, AKT and insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS1) in skeletal muscle (P < 0.05 and 0.01). GPS increased the expression of protein glucose transporters type 4 (GLUT4), Nrf2, NADPH quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1), heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and glutamate-cysteine ligase catalytic subunit (GCLC) in skeletal muscle (P < 0.05 and 0.01), and inhibited the expression of protein KELCH like epichlorohydrin associated protein-1 (Keap1) (P < 0.05 and 0.01). Conclusion GPS may reduce oxidative damage and improve insulin resistance of skeletal muscle by regulating PI3K/Akt signaling pathway, and then play its anti-T2DM role.
