DescriptionINS-1 832/13 Rat Insulinoma Cell Line
OverviewThe rat insulinoma cell line INS-1 is a well-established model for studies of pancreatic islet beta-cell function (1); however, the GSIS response of INS-1 cells may decrease over time. The INS-1 832/13 cell line is a subclone of INS-1 that was selected for robust GSIS, producing and secreting both rat and human insulin. INS-1 832/13 harbors a human insulin expression cassette allowing for human insulin secretion to be maintained over extended passages with selection (2). INS-1 832/13 cells exhibit enhanced secretory responsiveness to glucose as compared with the parental INS-1 cell line (2). INS-1 832/13 cells may be characterized by granular staining for synaptotagmin, as described for the parental cell line (3). These characteristics make INS-1 832/13 cells a useful system for investigating mechanisms of cellular insulin secretion, storage and synthesis.

Source:
INS-1 832/13 is a derivative of INS-1 cells originally established from an x-ray induced insulinoma in rat (1). The INS-1 832/13 cell line is a subclone of INS-1 that was stably transfected with a CMV promoter-human insulin expression plasmid carrying a geneticin (G418)-resistance marker for selection (2).

Background InformationGlucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) is potentiated by pancreatic beta cells and is critical to the physiological control of blood glucose levels. Insulin secretion is impaired in type 2 diabetes, and insight into the mechanisms and regulation of insulin secretion is fundamental to understanding the roles of beta cells in metabolic disease.
