Contribution of IGF-I receptor activation to GLP-1 secretion. A, Semiquantitative
RT-PCR was performed on isolated RNA from GLUTag (lane 2) and NCI-H716 (lane 5) cells
for IGF-I receptor mRNA transcripts. Total RNA from mouse fat (lane 3) or human
jejunal tissue (lane 6) was used as a positive control, and the omission of template
RNA was used as a negative control (lanes 1 and 4). B and C, The effect of IGF-I
receptor activation on GLP-1 release was analyzed by treating GLUTag (n = 6/group) (B)
and NCI-H716 (n = 4–6/group) (C) cells with graded concentrations of human
Long-Arg3-IGF-I for 2 h. GLP-1 secretion was determined by RIA, and all data are
expressed as a percent of the untreated control. *, P < 0.05.
