Sorcin Links Pancreatic ?-Cell Lipotoxicity to ER Ca2+ Stores.

ABSTRACT: Preserving ?-cell function during the development of obesity and insulin resistance would limit the worldwide epidemic of type 2 diabetes. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) calcium (Ca(2+)) depletion induced by saturated free fatty acids and cytokines causes ?-cell ER stress and apoptosis, but the molecular mechanisms behind these phenomena are still poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that palmitate-induced sorcin downregulation and subsequent increases in glucose-6-phosphatase catalytic subunit-2 (G6PC2) levels contribute to lipotoxicity. Sorcin is a calcium sensor protein involved in maintaining ER Ca(2+) by inhibiting ryanodine receptor activity and playing a role in terminating Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+) release. G6PC2, a genome-wide association study gene associated with fasting blood glucose, is a negative regulator of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS). High-fat feeding in mice and chronic exposure of human islets to palmitate decreases endogenous sorcin expression while levels of G6PC2 mRNA increase. Sorcin-null mice are glucose intolerant, with markedly impaired GSIS and increased expression of G6pc2 Under high-fat diet, mice overexpressing sorcin in the ?-cell display improved glucose tolerance, fasting blood glucose, and GSIS, whereas G6PC2 levels are decreased and cytosolic and ER Ca(2+) are increased in transgenic islets. Sorcin may thus provide a target for intervention in type 2 diabetes.

Project description:AIMS:Phospholamban (PLB) is the key regulator of the cardiac Ca2+ pump (SERCA2a)-mediated sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ stores. We recently reported that PLB is highly concentrated in the nuclear envelope (NE) from where it can modulate perinuclear Ca2+ handling of the cardiomyocytes (CMs). Since inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) receptor (IP3R) mediates nuclear Ca2+ release, we examined whether the nuclear pool of PLB regulates IP3-induced nuclear Ca2+ handling. METHODS AND RESULTS:Fluo-4 based confocal Ca2+ imaging was performed to measure Ca2+ dynamics across both nucleus and cytosol in saponin-permeabilized CMs isolated from wild-type (WT) or PLB-knockout (PLB-KO) mice. At diastolic intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i?=?100?nM), the Fab fragment of the monoclonal PLB antibody (anti-PLB Fab) facilitated the formation and increased the length of spontaneous Ca2+ waves (SCWs) originating from the nuclear region in CMs from WT but not from PLB-KO mice. We next examined nuclear Ca2+ activities at basal condition and after sequential addition of IP3, anti-PLB Fab, and the IP3R inhibitor 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate (2-APB) at a series of [Ca2+]i. In WT mice, at 10?nM [Ca2+]i where ryanodine receptor (RyR2) based spontaneous Ca2+ sparks rarely occurred, IP3 increased fluorescence amplitude (F/F0) of overall nuclear region to 1.19?±?0.02. Subsequent addition of anti-PLB Fab significantly decreased F/F0 to 1.09?±?0.02. At 50?nM [Ca2+]i, anti-PLB Fab not only decreased the overall nuclear F/F0 previously elevated by IP3, but also increased the amplitude and duration of spark-like nuclear Ca2+ release events. These nuclear Ca2+ releases were blocked by 2-APB. At 100?nM [Ca2+]i, IP3 induced short SCWs originating from nucleus. Anti-PLB Fab transformed those short waves into long SCWs with propagation from the nucleus into the cytosol. In contrast, neither nuclear nor cytosolic Ca2+ dynamics was affected by anti-PLB Fab in CMs from PLB-KO mice in all these conditions. Furthermore, in WT CMs pretreated with RyR2 blocker tetracaine, IP3 and anti-PLB Fab still increased the magnitude of nuclear Ca2+ release but failed to regenerate SCWs. Finally, anti-PLB Fab increased low Ca2+ affinity mag-fluo 4 fluorescence intensity in the lumen of NE of nuclei isolated from WT but not in PLB-KO mice. CONCLUSION:PLB regulates nuclear Ca2+ handling. By increasing Ca2+ uptake into lumen of the NE and perhaps other perinuclear membranes, the acute reversal of PLB inhibition decreases global Ca2+ concentration at rest in the nucleoplasm, and increases Ca2+ release into the nucleus, through mechanisms involving IP3R and RyR2 in the vicinity.
