✦ Synopsis

The effect of glucocorticoid (dexamethasone) on insulin receptor mRNA was examined in the IM-9 cell line by dot hybridization analysis using insulin receptor c-DNA probe (phINSR 13-1). Insulin receptor mRNA was found in a dose- and time-dependent manner, to increase during a 24-h culture with glucocorticoid. Although there has been some dispute about the effect of glucocorticoid on degradation of the insulin receptor itself, we have found glucocorticoid had no significant effect on the degradation rate of insulin receptor mRNA. These results suggest that glucocorticoid has the effect of increasing de novo synthesis of insulin receptor mRNA. But the molecular mechanism of glucocorticoid's effect still needs to be investigated.

In the present study, we investigated the mechanism by which the antidiabetic drug phenformin increases insulin binding to its receptors in IM-9 human cultured lymphocytes. After a 24-hr preincubation, phenformin induced a twofold increase in specific '251-insuIin binding, and removal of phenformin
