Administration of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), or its sulfated form
(DHEAS), controls hyperglycemia in diabetic rodents without directly
altering insulin sensitivity. We show that DHEAS enhanced
glucose-stimulated insulin secretion when administered in vivo to rats or
in vitro to beta-cell lines, without changing cellular insulin content.
Insulin secretion increased from 3 days of steroid exposure in vitro,
suggesting that DHEAS did not directly activate the secretory processes.
DHEAS selectively increased the beta-cell mRNA expression of acyl CoA
synthetase-2 and peroxisomal acyl CoA oxidase in a time-dependent manner.
Although DHEAS is a peroxisomal proliferator, it did not alter the mRNA
expression of peroxisomal proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) alpha or
beta, or enhance the activity of transfected PPAR alpha, beta, or gamma in
vitro. Thus, DHEAS directly affected the beta-cell to enhance
glucose-stimulated insulin secretion and increased the mRNA expression of
specific beta-cell mitochondrial and peroxisomal lipid metabolic enzymes.
This effect of DHEAS on insulin secretion may contribute to the
amelioration of hyperglycemia seen in various rodent models of diabetes.
