摘要: Two cell lines have been established from insulinomas obtained by targeted expression of the simian virus 40 T antigen gene in transgenic mice. These lines, designated MIN6 and MIN7, produce insulin morphological characteristics pancreatic beta cells. cells exhibit glucose-inducible secretion comparable with cultured normal mouse islet cells, whereas MIN7 do not. Both liver-type glucose transporter (GT) mRNA at high level. Brain-type GT is also present considerable level but barely detectable suggesting that exclusive related to secretion. not express either major histocompatibility (MHC) class I or II antigens on surface. However, treatment interferon-gamma induces levels MHC antigens, a combination tumor necrosis factor-alpha results emphasize line retains physiological The will be especially useful analyze molecular mechanisms which regulate response extracellular concentrations. We discuss possible role isoforms sensing
