Objective To study the effects of sericin on insulin receptor substrate -2 (IRS-2) in liver of type 2 diabetes mellitus rats.Methods 36 male SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =12): normal control,diabetes model and sericin treatment groups.The type 2 diabetes model rats were induced by continuous intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin .After successfully establishing the diabetes animal models,the rats in sericin treatment group were lavaged with sericin (2.4 g・ kg-1・ d-1 ).SP immunohistochemical stai-ning,Western blotting and RT-PCR were used to detect the IRS-2 expression in liver.Results Sericin could significantly increase IRS -2 pos-itive cell number,IRS-2 protein and mRNA expression in liver of diabetes model rats (P<0.01).Conclusions Sericin can affect insulin signaling and improve insulin resistance by up regulating IRS -2 expression in liver,thus reduce blood glucose.%目的研究丝胶对2型糖尿病大鼠肝脏胰岛素受体底物(IRS)-2表达的影响。方法36只雄性 SD 大鼠随机分为正常对照组、糖尿病模型组、丝胶治疗组,每组12只。采用链脲佐菌素连续腹腔注射法制作2型糖尿病大鼠模型。待模型成功建立后,丝胶治疗组大鼠给予丝胶(2.4 g・ kg-1・ d-1)灌胃。 SP 免疫组织化学染色、免疫印迹法和 RT-PCR 检测大鼠肝脏组织 IRS-2的表达。结果丝胶可明显提高糖尿病模型大鼠肝脏组织 IRS-2阳性细胞数、IRS-2蛋白和 mRNA 的表达(P<0.01)。结论丝胶可通过上调糖尿病大鼠肝脏 IRS-2的表达,影响胰岛素的信号转导和改善胰岛素抵抗,起到降低血糖的作用。
