Abstract

Abstract : Cytosolic PLA2 (cPLA2 ) and Ca 2+ ‐independent PLA2 (iPLA2 ) play a significant role in insulin β‐cells secretion. Bacterial infections may be responsible of the onset of diabetes. The mechanism by which Staphylococcus aureus infection of INS‐1 cells alters glucose‐induced insulin secretion has been examined. After acute infection, insulin secretion and PLA2 activities significantly increased. Moreover, increased expressions of phospho‐cPLA2, phospho‐PKCα and phospho‐ERK 1/2 were observed. Chronic infection causes a decrease in insulin release and a significant increase of iPLA2 and COX‐2 protein expression. Moreover, insulin secretion in infected cells could be restored using specific si RNAs against iPLA2 isoform and specific COX‐2 inhibitor.
