Jasminoidin serving as a GLP-1 (
Glucagon-Like
Peptide-1)
receptor stimulating agent plays a role in protecting
pancreatic beta cells. The invention belongs to the field of combination of traditional Chinese
pharmacology,
endocrinology and molecular
pharmacology, and particularly relates to specific activation of a
glucagon-like
peptide-1
receptor (GLP-1R)
signal channel through jasminoidin for prompting the survival of
pancreatic beta cells and realizing a hypoglycemic effect. Mouse primary
pancreatic beta cells are cultured by adopting a hypoglycemic Chinese medicinal jasminoidin
active ingredient, so that
beta cell proliferation can be promoted remarkably,
apoptosis is inhibited, and beta
apoptosis rate in a high-
sugar or inflammatory factor environment is lowered simultaneously. Through a siRNA (small interfering Ribonucleic Acid) experiment, the expression of the GLP-1R in beta cells is lowered, and the protecting effect of jasminoidin on beta cells is inhibited. The invention discloses the effect of jasminoidin serving as a GLP-1 stimulating agent for protecting pancreatic cells by specifically activating a GLP-1R channel, explains the molecular pharmacological mechanism of jasminoidin on the treatment of
diabetes mellitus, and lays a theoretical foundation for treating
diabetes mellitus with the
traditional Chinese medicine.
