MIN6 Is Not a Pure Beta Cell Line but a Mixed Cell Line with Other Pancreatic Endocrine Hormones. Endocr J. 2008 Oct 9; Authors: Nakashima K, Kanda Y, Hirokawa Y, Kawasaki F, Matsuki M, Kaku K MIN6 cells retains glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) as isolated islets. We comprehensively evaluated the gene expression and production of other islet Hormones in MIN6 cells. Islet Hormones were demonstrated by immunohistochemical staining and measured by ELISA. The gene expression profiles of MIN6 cells were compared with those in the mouse islets obtained by the laser capture micro-dissection (LCM). MIN6 cells excreted insulin, glucagon, somatostatin and ghrelin. They expressed mRNAs of insulin I and II, proglucagon, somatostatin, pancreatic polypeptide (PP) and ghrelin which were shown in the mouse pancreatic islet core and periphery obtained by LCM. A variety of genes closely related to the islet hormone producing cells were expressed in MIN6. Confocal laser scanning microscopy revealed that MIN6 cells included not only insulin positive cells but also insulin and glucagon or somatostin double positive cells. Glucagon, somatostatin and ghrelin were detectable in the culture medium. The present study clearly demonstrated that MIN6 produce pancreatic endocrine cells. It would be possible to use this cell line as a model to research the development, cell differentiation and function of pancreatic islets. PMID: 18845907 [PubMed - as s ...

Related Articles Hormone-related tumors in transsexuals receiving treatment with cross-sex Hormones. Eur J Endocrinol. 2008 Sep;159(3):197-202 Authors: Mueller A, Gooren L OBJECTIVE: To assess the risk of development of hormone-related tumors in transsexuals receiving treatment with cross-sex Hormones. Design Description of cases of transsexuals who have developed a hormone-related malignancy observed in their own clinic or reported in the literature. Recommendations for early diagnosis and prevention are presented. METHODS: Review of the literature in PubMed. RESULTS: In male-to-female transsexuals receiving estrogen administration, lactotroph adenomas, breast cancer, and prostate cancer have been reported. In female-to-male transsexuals receiving treatment with testosterone, a single case of breast carcinoma and several cases of ovarian cancer have been reported. So far endometrial cancer has not been encountered though it remains a potential malignant development. CONCLUSIONS: There are so far only a few cases of hormone-related cancer in transsexuals. There may be an underreporting. The probability of a hormone-related tumor increases with the duration of exposure to cross-sex Hormones and the aging of the population of transsexuals.
