Inhibition of the lipid phosphatase SH2-domain containing inositol phosphatase 2 (SHIP2) in L6-C10 muscle cells, in 3T3-L1 adipocytes and in the liver of db/db mice has been shown to ameliorate insulin signal transduction and established SHIP2 as a negative regulator of insulin action. Here we show that SHIP2 inhibition in INS1E insulinoma cells increased Akt, glycogen synthase kinase 3 and extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2 phosphorylation. SHIP2 inhibition did not prevent palmitate-induced apoptosis, but increased cell proliferation. Our data raise the interesting possibility that SHIP2 inhibition exerts proliferative effects in β-cells and further support the attractiveness of a specific inhibition of SHIP2 for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.
