Inflammation induces pancreatic islet cell apoptosis. Effects of fucoidan from Acaudina molpadioides (Am-FUC) on inhibition of pancreatic islet cell apoptosis and inflammation in type 2 diabetic mice were investigated. Am-FUC repaired pancreatic islet cells, decreased serum C-reactive protein (CRP), macrophage inflammatory protein 1 (MIP-1), interleukin 1β (IL-1β), IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) levels, and increased the IL-10 level. Am-FUC also reduced TNF-α, CRP, MIP-1, IL-1β, and IL-6 mRNA expressions, and increased IL-10 mRNA expression in epididymal adipose tissues. Am-FUC reduced Bid, Bax, cytochrome c, caspase 9, and caspase 3 mRNA expressions, and increased Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL mRNA expressions. Am-FUC down-regulated t-Bid, Bax, cytochrome c, and caspase 9 activities, cleaved caspase 3 proteins, and up-regulated Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL proteins. Thus, an Am-FUCblocked mitochondrial pathway was the suppression mechanism in pancreatic islet cell apoptosis via regulation of inflammatory cytokines providing dietary intervention in type 2 diabetes and inflammation-induced pancreatic islet apoptosis.
