COMMUNICATION
Expression of Constitutively Activated Gialpha 2 in Vivo Ameliorates Streptozotocin-induced Diabetes

Xi-Long Zheng, Jun hua Guo, Hsien-yu Wang, and Craig C. Malbon

From the Departments of Molecular Pharmacology and of Physiology and Biophysics, Diabetes and Metabolic Diseases Research Program, University Medical Center, SUNY/Stony Brook, Stony Brook, New York 11794-8651

Streptozotocin treatment in vivo generates a model of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus via destruction of the pancreatic beta -cells responsible for insulin secretion. Tissue-specific expression of the Q205L constitutively activated mutant form of the G-protein Gialpha 2 in vivo ameliorates streptozotocin-induced insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus in transgenic mice. Conditional expression of Q205L Gialpha 2 in vivo in liver, skeletal muscle, and adipose tissue markedly rectifies glucose tolerance, fasting glucose levels, and glycogen synthase activation in the mice with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, providing a novel therapeutic target for diabetes.
