It has been shown that IGF-1-induced pancreatic β-cell proliferation is glucose-dependent;
however, the mechanisms responsible for this glucose dependence are not known.
Adenoviral mediated expression of constitutively active phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)
in the pancreatic β-cells, INS-1, suggested that PI3K was not necessary for glucose-induced
β-cell proliferation but was required for IGF-1-induced mitogenesis. Examination of the
signaling components downstream of PI3K, 3-phosphoinositide-dependent kinase 1, protein …
