Mice bearing IL-1beta-secreting tumor were used to study the chronic effect of IL-1beta on glucose metabolism. Mice were injected with syngeneic tumor cells transduced with the human IL-1beta gene. Serum IL-1beta levels increased exponentially with time. Secretion of IL-1beta from the developed tumors was associated with decreased food consumption, reduced body weight, and reduced blood glucose levels. Body composition analysis revealed that IL-1beta caused a significant loss in fat tissue without affecting lean body mass and water content. Hepatic phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase and glucose-6-phosphatase activities and mRNA levels of these enzymes were reduced, and 2-deoxy-glucose uptake by peripheral tissues was enhanced. mRNA levels of glucose transporters (Gluts) in the liver were determined by real-time PCR analysis. Glut-3 mRNA levels were up-regulated by IL-1beta. Glut-1 and Glut-4 mRNA levels in IL-1beta mice were similar to mRNA levels in pair-fed mice bearing nonsecreting tumor. mRNA level of Glut-2, the major Glut of the liver, was down-regulated by IL-1beta. We concluded that both decreased glucose production by the liver and enhanced glucose disposal lead to the development of hypoglycemia in mice bearing IL-1beta-secreting tumor. The observed changes in expression of hepatic Gluts that are not dependent on insulin may contribute to the increased glucose uptake.
