Transgenic Mice Overexpressing Type 2 Nitric-oxide Synthase in Pancreatic beta  Cells Develop Insulin-dependent Diabetes without Insulitis

We generated transgenic mice carrying the mouse type 2 nitric-oxide synthase (NOS2) cDNA under the control of the insulin promoter. Western and immunohistochemical analyses revealed that NOS2 was expressed abundantly in transgenic islets but not in control islets. When islets were isolated and cultured, high levels of nitrite were released from the transgenic islets. In transgenic mice, the beta  cell mass was markedly reduced without the infiltration of macrophages or lymphocytes, and extensive DNA strand breaks were detected in the islets by in situ nick translation. All the transgenic mice developed hypoinsulinemic diabetes by 4 weeks of age, and treatment with an inhibitor of NOS2, aminoguanidine (200 mg/kg body weight every 12 h), prevented or delayed the development of diabetes. The present study shows that the production of nitric oxide by beta  cell NOS2 plays an essential role in the beta  cell degeneration.
