Spontaneous Akt2 deficiency in a colony of NOD mice exhibiting early diabetes

Résumé

Diabetes constitutes a major public health problem, with dramatic consequences for patients. Both genetic and environmental factors were shown to contribute to the different forms of the disease. The monogenic forms, found both in humans and in animal models, specially help to decipher the role of key genes in the physiopathology of the disease. Here, we describe the phenotype of early diabetes in a colony of NOD mice, with spontaneous invalidation of Akt2, that we called HYP. The HYP mice were characterised by a strong and chronic hyperglycaemia, beginning around the age of one month, especially in male mice. The phenotype was not the consequence of the acceleration of the autoimmune response, inherent to the NOD background. Interestingly, in HYP mice, we observed hyperinsulinemia before hyperglycaemia occurred. We did not find any difference in the pancreas’ architecture of the NOD and HYP mice (islets’ size and staining for insulin and glucagon) but we detected a lower insulin content in the pancreas of HYP mice compared to NOD mice. These results give new insights about the role played by Akt2 in glucose homeostasis and argue for the ß cell failure being the primary event in the course of diabetes.
