Title | Hepatic gene expression in streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice fed a quercetin diet |
Description | Quercetin is a food component that may ameliorate the diabetic symptoms. We examined hepatic gene expression of BALB/c mice with streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes to elucidate the mechanism of the protective effect of dietary quercetin on diabetes-associated liver injury. We fed STZ-induced diabetic mice with diets containing 0.1%% or 0.5%% quercetin for 2 weeks and compared the patterns of hepatic gene expression in these groups of mice using a DNA microarray. Diets containing 0.1%% or 0.5%% quercetin lowered the STZ-induced increase in blood glucose levels and improved plasma insulin levels. A cluster analysis of the hepatic gene expressions showed that 0.5%% quercetin diet suppressed STZ-induced alteration of gene expression. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) and quantitative RT-PCR analysis showed that the quercetin diets had their greatest suppressive effect on the STZ-induced elevation of expression of cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor p21(WAF1/Cip1) (Cdkn1a). |
