Research Abstract

Inflammatory M1 macrophage infiltration into pancreatic islets
in diabetic model db/db was significantly increased, which suggested the implication of M1 macrophage in b cell dysfunction in type 2 diabetes. We generated the transgenic mouse containing p27 cDNA under the control of scavenger receptor promoter, which is macrophage-specific proliferation restricted mouse. However both male and female of this mutant mouse were infertile. The p27 mRNA expression was significantly increased in bone marrow-derived macrophage from Tg mice, and the proliferation of these macrophages were restricted. The effect of p27 expression in macrophage on infertility will be another project to be studied farther.
