Maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 3 (MODY3) is characterized by impaired insulin secretion. Heterozygous mutations in the gene encoding hepatocyte nuclear factor (HNF)-1 are the cause of MODY3. Transgenic mice overexpressing dominant-negative HNF-1 mutant in pancreatic ß-cells and HNF-1 knockout mice are animal models of MODY3. These mice exhibit defective glucose-stimulated insulin secretion and have reduced ß-cell mass and ß-cell proliferation rate. Here we examined the effect of HNF-1 on ß-cell proliferation by overexpressing a human naturally occurring dominant- negative mutation P291fsinsC in INS-1 cells under the control of doxycycline-induction system. INS-1 cells overexpressing P291fsinsC showed apparent growth impairment. The proliferation rate estimated by [3H]thymidine incorporation was significantly reduced in P291fsinsC-expressing INS-1 cells compared with noninduced or wild-type HNF-1 -overexpressing INS-1 cells. Growth inhibition occurred at the transition from G1 to S cell cycle phase, with reduced expression of cyclin E and upregulation of p27. cDNA array analysis revealed that the expression levels of IGF-1, a major growth factor for ß-cells, and macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF), a cytokine expressed in pancreatic ß-cells, were reduced in P291fsinsC-HNF-1 expressing INS-1 cells. Although MIF seemed to have proliferative function, blockade of MIF action by anti-MIF antibody stimulated INS-1 cell proliferation, excluding its direct role in the growth impairment. However, addition of IGF-1 to P291fsinsCexpressing INS-1 cells rescued the growth inhibition. Our data suggest that HNF-1 is critical for modulating pancreatic ß-cell growth by regulating IGF-1 expression. IGF-1 might be a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of MODY3.
