Abstract
Objective: Liver-specific inactivation of CEACAM1 by a dominant-negative transgene(L-SACC1 mice) impaired insulin clearance and caused insulin resistance and increased hepatic lipogenesis. To discern whether this phenotype reflects a physiologic function of CEACAM1 rather than the effect of the dominant-negative transgene, we characterized the metabolic phenotype of mice with null mutation of Ceacam1 gene (Cc1–/–). Research Design and Methods: Mice were originally generated on a mixed C57BL/6x129sv genetic background and then backcrossed twelve times onto the C57BL/6 background. More than 70 male mice of each of Cc1–/– and wild-type Cc1+/+ groups were subjected to metabolic analyses, including insulin tolerance, hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp studies, insulin secretion in response to glucose, and determination of fasting serum insulin, C-peptide, triglyceride and free fatty acid levels. Results: Like L-SACC1, Cc1–/– mice exhibited impairment of insulin clearance and hyperinsulinemia, which caused insulin resistance beginning at 2 months of age when the mutation was maintained on a mixed C57BL/6x129sv background, but not until 5-6 months of age on a homogeneous inbred C57BL/6 genetic background. Hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp studies revealed that the inbred Cc1–/– mice developed insulin resistance primarily in liver. Despite substantial expression of CEACAM1 in pancreatic -cells, insulin secretion in response to glucose in vivo and isolated islets was normal in Cc1–/– mice (inbred and outbred strains). Conclusions: Intact insulin secretion in response to glucose and impairment of insulin clearance in L-SACC1 and Cc1–/– mice suggest that the principal role of CEACAM1 in insulin action is to mediate insulin clearance in liver.
