GPR142 Agonists Stimulate Glucose-Dependent Insulin Secretion via Gq-Dependent Signaling.

ABSTRACT: GPR142 is an islet-enriched G protein-coupled receptor that has been investigated as a novel therapeutic target for the treatment of type 2 diabetes by virtue of its insulin secretagogue activity. However, the signaling pathways downstream of GPR142 and whether its stimulation of insulin release is glucose-dependent remain poorly characterized. In this study, we show that both native and synthetic GPR142 agonists can activate Gq as well as Gi signaling when GPR142 is recombinantly expressed in HEK293 cells. However, in primary pancreatic islets, a native cellular system, the insulin secretagogue activity of GPR142 agonists only requires Gq activation. In addition, our results show that stimulation of insulin secretion by GPR142 in pancreatic islets is strictly glucose-dependent.

GPR142 Controls Tryptophan-Induced Insulin and Incretin Hormone Secretion to Improve Glucose Metabolism.

Project description:GPR142, a putative amino acid receptor, is expressed in pancreatic islets and the gastrointestinal tract, but the ligand affinity and physiological role of this receptor remain obscure. In this study, we show that in addition to L-Tryptophan, GPR142 signaling is also activated by L-Phenylalanine but not by other naturally occurring amino acids. Furthermore, we show that Tryptophan and a synthetic GPR142 agonist increase insulin and incretin hormones and improve glucose disposal in mice in a GPR142-dependent manner. In contrast, Phenylalanine improves in vivo glucose disposal independently of GPR142. Noteworthy, refeeding-induced elevations in insulin and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide are blunted in Gpr142 null mice. In conclusion, these findings demonstrate GPR142 is a Tryptophan receptor critically required for insulin and incretin hormone regulation and suggest GPR142 agonists may be effective therapies that leverage amino acid sensing pathways for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.

PI4KIIα regulates insulin secretion and glucose homeostasis via a PKD-dependent pathway.

Project description:Insulin release by pancreatic β cells plays a key role in regulating blood glucose levels in humans, and to understand the mechanism for insulin secretion may reveal therapeutic strategies for diabetes. We found that PI4KIIα transgenic (TG) mice have abnormal glucose tolerance and higher serum glucose levels than wild-type mice. Glucose-stimulated insulin secretion was significantly reduced in both PI4KIIα TG mice and PI4KIIα-overexpressing pancreatic β cell lines. A proximity-based biotin labeling technique, BioID, was used to identify proteins that interact with PI4KIIα, and the results revealed that PI4KIIα interacts with PKD and negatively regulates its activity. The effect of PI4KIIα on insulin secretion was completely rescued by altering PKD activity. PI4KIIα overexpression also worsened glucose tolerance in streptozotocin/high-fat diet-induced diabetic mice by impairing insulin secretion. Our study has shed new light on PI4KIIα function and mechanism in diabetes and identified PI4KIIα as an important regulator of insulin secretion.

Fasiglifam (TAK-875) has dual potentiating mechanisms via Gαq-GPR40/FFAR1 signaling branches on glucose-dependent insulin secretion.

Project description:Fasiglifam (TAK-875) is a free fatty acid receptor 1 (FFAR1)/G-protein-coupled receptor 40 (GPR40) agonist that improves glycemic control in type 2 diabetes with minimum risk of hypoglycemia. Fasiglifam potentiates glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) from pancreatic β-cells glucose dependently, although the precise mechanism underlying the glucose dependency still remains unknown. Here, we investigated key cross-talk between the GSIS pathway and FFAR1 signaling, and Ca(2+) dynamics using mouse insulinoma MIN6 cells. We demonstrated that the glucose-dependent insulinotropic effect of fasiglifam required membrane depolarization and that fasiglifam induced a glucose-dependent increase in intracellular Ca(2+) level and amplification of Ca(2+) oscillations. This differed from the sulfonylurea glimepiride that induced changes in Ca(2+) dynamics glucose independently. Stimulation with cell-permeable analogs of IP3 or diacylglycerol (DAG), downstream second messengers of Gαq-FFAR1, augmented GSIS similar to fasiglifam, indicating their individual roles in the potentiation of GSIS pathway. Intriguingly, the IP3 analog triggered similar Ca(2+) dynamics to fasiglifam, whereas the DAG analog had no effect. Despite the lack of an effect on Ca(2+) dynamics, the DAG analog elicited synergistic effects on insulin secretion with Ca(2+) influx evoked by an L-type voltage-dependent calcium channel opener that mimics glucose-dependent Ca(2+) dynamics. These results indicate that the Gαq signaling activated by fasiglifam enhances GSIS pathway via dual potentiating mechanisms in which IP3 amplifies glucose-induced Ca(2+) oscillations and DAG/protein kinase C (PKC) augments downstream secretory mechanisms independent of Ca(2+) oscillations.

Extracellular nucleotides inhibit insulin receptor signaling, stimulate autophagy and control lipoprotein secretion.

Project description:Hyperglycemia is associated with abnormal plasma lipoprotein metabolism and with an elevation in circulating nucleotide levels. We evaluated how extracellular nucleotides may act to perturb hepatic lipoprotein secretion. Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) (>10 µM) acts like a proteasomal inhibitor to stimulate apoB100 secretion and inhibit apoA-I secretion from human liver cells at 4 h and 24 h. ADP blocks apoA-I secretion by stimulating autophagy. The nucleotide increases cellular levels of the autophagosome marker, LC3-II, and increases co-localization of LC3 with apoA-I in punctate autophagosomes. ADP affects autophagy and apoA-I secretion through P2Y(13). Overexpression of P2Y(13) increases cellular LC3-II levels by ~50% and blocks induction of apoA-I secretion. Conversely, a siRNA-induced reduction in P2Y(13) protein expression of 50% causes a similar reduction in cellular LC3-II levels and a 3-fold stimulation in apoA-I secretion. P2Y(13) gene silencing blocks the effects of ADP on autophagy and apoA-I secretion. A reduction in P2Y(13) expression suppresses ERK1/2 phosphorylation, increases the phosphorylation of IR-? and protein kinase B (Akt) >3-fold, and blocks the inhibition of Akt phosphorylation by TNF? and ADP. Conversely, increasing P2Y(13) expression significantly inhibits insulin-induced phosphorylation of insulin receptor (IR-?) and Akt, similar to that observed after treatment with ADP. Nucleotides therefore act through P2Y(13), ERK1/2 and insulin receptor signaling to stimulate autophagy and affect hepatic lipoprotein secretion.

Neurotrophin Signaling Is Required for Glucose-Induced Insulin Secretion.

Project description:Insulin secretion by pancreatic islet ? cells is critical for glucose homeostasis, and a blunted ? cell secretory response is an early deficit in type 2 diabetes. Here, we uncover a regulatory mechanism by which glucose recruits vascular-derived neurotrophins to control insulin secretion. Nerve growth factor (NGF), a classical trophic factor for nerve cells, is expressed in pancreatic vasculature while its TrkA receptor is localized to islet ? cells. High glucose rapidly enhances NGF secretion and increases TrkA phosphorylation in mouse and human islets. Tissue-specific deletion of NGF or TrkA, or acute disruption of TrkA signaling, impairs glucose tolerance and insulin secretion in mice. We show that internalized TrkA receptors promote insulin granule exocytosis via F-actin reorganization. Furthermore, NGF treatment augments glucose-induced insulin secretion in human islets. These findings reveal a non-neuronal role for neurotrophins and identify a new regulatory pathway in insulin secretion that can be targeted to ameliorate ? cell dysfunction.

The Gq/G11-mediated signaling pathway is critical for autocrine potentiation of insulin secretion in mice.

Project description:A variety of neurotransmitters, gastrointestinal hormones, and metabolic signals are known to potentiate insulin secretion through GPCRs. We show here that beta cell-specific inactivation of the genes encoding the G protein alpha-subunits Galphaq and Galpha11 resulted in impaired glucose tolerance and insulin secretion in mice. Interestingly, the defects observed in Galphaq/Galpha11-deficient beta cells were not restricted to loss of muscarinic or metabolic potentiation of insulin release; the response to glucose per se was also diminished. Electrophysiological recordings revealed that glucose-induced depolarization of isolated beta cells was impaired in the absence of Galphaq/Galpha11, and closure of KATP channels was inhibited. We provide evidence that this reduced excitability was due to a loss of beta cell-autonomous potentiation of insulin secretion through factors cosecreted with insulin. We identified as autocrine mediators involved in this process extracellular nucleotides such as uridine diphosphate acting through the Gq/G11-coupled P2Y6 receptor and extracellular calcium acting through the calcium-sensing receptor. Thus, the Gq/G11-mediated signaling pathway potentiates insulin secretion in response to glucose by integrating systemic as well as autocrine/paracrine mediators.

Systematic Synergy of Glucose and GLP-1 to Stimulate Insulin Secretion Revealed by Quantitative Phosphoproteomics.

Project description:GLP-1 synergizes with glucose in regulating pancreatic β-cell function, including facilitating β-cell survival and insulin secretion. Though it has been widely accepted that phosphorylation is extremely important in regulating β-cell functions, our knowledge to the global mechanism is still limited. Here we performed a quantitative phosphoproteomics study to systematically present the synergistic regulation of INS-1E cell phosphoproteome mediated by glucose and GLP-1. We generated the largest pancreatic β-cell phosphoproteome by identifying 25,327 accurately localized phosphorylation sites on 5,389 proteins. Our results discovered several novel kinases regulated by glucose, GLP-1 or their synergism, and some of these kinases might act as downstream molecules of GLP-1 mediated PKA signaling cascade. A few phosphosites were regulated by both GLP-1 and glucose alone, and these target proteins were highly related to their biological function on pancreatic β-cells. Finally, we found glucose and GLP-1 executed their synergistic effect at multiple levels, especially at pathway level. Both GLP-1 and glucose participated in regulating every single step of the secretion pathway, and systematically synergized their effects in inducing insulin secretion.

Joint effect of insulin signaling genes on insulin secretion and glucose homeostasis.

Project description:CONTEXT:Reduced insulin signaling in insulin secreting ?-cells causes defective insulin secretion and hyperglycemia in mice. OBJECTIVE:We investigated whether functional polymorphisms affecting insulin signaling (ie, ENPP1 K121Q, rs1044498; IRS1 G972R, rs1801278; and TRIB3 Q84R, rs2295490) exert a joint effect on insulin secretion and abnormal glucose homeostasis (AGH). DESIGN:Insulin secretion was evaluated by 1) the disposition index (DI) from an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in 829 individuals; 2) insulin secretion stimulation index (SI) in islets from nondiabetic donors after glucose (n = 92) or glibenclamide (n = 89) stimulation. AGH (including impaired fasting glucose and/or impaired glucose tolerance or type 2 diabetes; T2D) was evaluated in case-control studies from the GENetics of Type 2 Diabetes in Italy and the United States (GENIUS T2D) Consortium (n = 6607). RESULTS:Genotype risk score, obtained by totaling individual weighted risk allele effects, was associated with the following: 1) DI (P = .005); 2) glucose and glibenclamide SI (P = .046 and P = .009); or 3) AGH (odds ratio 1.08, 95% confidence interval 1.03-1.13; P = .001). We observed an inverse relationship between genetic effect and age at AGH onset, as indicated by a linear correlation between AGH-genotype risk score odds ratios and age-at-diagnosis cutoffs (R(2) = 0.80, P < .001). CONCLUSIONS:Functional polymorphisms affecting insulin signaling exert a joint effect on both in vivo and in vitro insulin secretion as well as on early-onset AGH. Our data provide further evidence that abnormal insulin signaling reduces ?-cell function and impairs glucose homeostasis.

Alpha-Adrenergic Agonists Stimulate Fluid Secretion in Lacrimal Gland Ducts.

Project description:PurposeThe role of adrenergic innervation in the regulation of lacrimal gland (LG) ductal fluid secretion is unknown. The Aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of adrenergic stimulation on fluid secretion in isolated LG duct segments and to study the underlying intracellular mechanisms.MethodsFluid secretion of isolated mouse LG ducts was measured using video-microscopy. Effect of various adrenergic agonists (norepinephrine, phenylephrine, and isoproterenol) on fluid secretion as well as inhibitory effects of specific antagonists on adrenergic agonist-stimulated secretory response were analyzed. Changes in intracellular Ca2+ level [Ca2+i] were investigated with microfluorometry.ResultsBoth norepinephrine and phenylephrine initiated a rapid and robust fluid secretory response, whereas isoproterenol did not cause any secretion. Phenylephrine-induced secretion was completely blocked by α1D-adrenergic receptor blocker BMY-7378. The endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) inhibitor L-NAME or guanylyl cyclase inhibitor ODQ reduced but not completely abolished the phenylephrine-induced fluid secretion, whereas co-administration of Ca2+-chelator BAPTA-AM resulted in a complete blockade. Phenylephrine stimulation induced a small, but statistically significant elevation in [\(Ca_i^{2 + }\)].ConclusionsOur results prove the direct role of α1-adrenergic stimulation on LG ductal fluid secretion. Lack of isoproterenol-induced fluid secretory response suggests the absence of β-receptor mediated pathway in mouse LG ducts. Complete blockade of phenylephrine-induced fluid secretion by BMY-7378 and predominant inhibition of the secretory response either by L-NAME or ODQ suggest that α-adrenergic agonists use the NO/cGMP pathway through α1D receptor. Ca2+ signaling independent from NO/cGMP pathway may also play an at least partial role in α-adrenergic induced ductal fluid secretion.

Snapin mediates incretin action and augments glucose-dependent insulin secretion.

Project description:Impaired insulin secretion contributes to the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Treatment with the incretin hormone glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) potentiates insulin secretion and improves metabolic control in humans with T2DM. GLP-1 receptor-mediated signaling leading to insulin secretion occurs via cyclic AMP stimulated protein kinase A (PKA)- as well as guanine nucleotide exchange factor-mediated pathways. However, how these two pathways integrate and coordinate insulin secretion remains poorly understood. Here we show that these incretin-stimulated pathways converge at the level of snapin, and that PKA-dependent phosphorylation of snapin increases interaction among insulin secretory vesicle-associated proteins, thereby potentiating glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS). In diabetic islets with impaired GSIS, snapin phosphorylation is reduced, and expression of a snapin mutant, which mimics site-specific phosphorylation, restores GSIS. Thus, snapin is a critical node in GSIS regulation and provides a potential therapeutic target to improve ? cell function in T2DM.
