Objective  To explore mechanism of gastric bypass in treating obesity with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and its relationship with c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling pathway. Methods  The INS-1 cells were divided into 4 groups according to the different treatment: control group (complete medium), high glucose group (30 mmol/L glucose medium), exendin-4 group (high glucose+100 nmol/L exendin-4), and JNK agonist group (high glucose+100 nmol/L exendin-4+JNK agonist). When these cells were cultured on day 7, the cell activity was assessed by the MTT staining. The cell apoptosis was determined by the fluorescence microscopy analysis after the Hoechst/PI staining and flow cytometric assay after the Annexin V-FITC/PI staining. The expressions of the human immunoglobulin binding protein (Bip), CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein homologous protein (CHOP), P-SAPK/JNK, and caspase-3 protein were detected by the Western blot. Results  Compared with the control group, the cell activities were significantly decreased (P<0.05), the cell apoptosis rates and the P-SAPK/JNK and caspase-3 protein expression levels were significantly increased (P<0.01) in the high glucose group and the JNK agonist group, but the Bip and CHOP protein expression levels were significantly increased (P<0.01) in the high glucose group. Compared with the high glucose group, the cell activity was significantly increased (P<0.05), the cell apoptosis rate and the Bip, CHOP, P-SAPK/JNK, and caspase-3 protein expression levels were significantly decreased (P<0.01) in the exendin-4 group, the Bip and CHOP protein expression levels were significantly decreased (P<0.01) in the JNK agonist group. Compared with the exendin-4 group, the cell activity was significantly decreased (P<0.05), the cell apoptosis rate and the P-SAPK/JNK and caspase-3 protein expression levels were significantly increased (P<0.01) in the JNK agonist group. Conclusion  Gastric bypass can inhibit endoplasmic reticulum stress of pancreatic islet β-cells by regulating secretion of glucagon like peptide-1, thereby inhibiting JNK signaling pathway, protecting pancreatic islet β-cells and inhibiting apoptosis, so as to achieve effect of treating T2DM.
