The pseudophosphatase phogrin enables glucose-stimulated insulin signaling in pancreatic ? cells.

ABSTRACT: Autocrine insulin signaling is critical for pancreatic ?-cell growth and activity and is at least partially controlled by protein-tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) that act on insulin receptors (IRs). The receptor-type PTP phogrin primarily localizes on insulin secretory granules in pancreatic ? cells. We recently reported that phogrin knockdown decreases the protein levels of insulin receptor substrate 2 (IRS2), whereas high-glucose stimulation promotes formation of a phogrin-IR complex that stabilizes IRS2. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms by which phogrin affects IRS2 levels are unclear. Here, we found that relative to wildtype mice, IRS2 levels in phogrin-knockout mice islets decreased by 44%. When phogrin was silenced by shRNA in pancreatic ?-cell lines, glucose-induced insulin signaling led to proteasomal degradation of IRS2 via a negative feedback mechanism. Phogrin overexpression in a murine hepatocyte cell line consistently prevented chronic insulin treatment-induced IRS2 degradation. In vitro, phogrin directly bound the IR without the assistance of other proteins and protected recombinant PTP1B from oxidation to potentiate its activity toward the IR. Furthermore, phogrin expression suppressed insulin-induced local generation of hydrogen peroxide and subsequent PTP1B oxidation, which allowed progression of IR dephosphorylation. Together, these results suggest that a transient interaction of phogrin with the IR enables glucose-stimulated autocrine insulin signaling through the regulation of PTP1B activity, which is essential for suppressing feedback-mediated IRS2 degradation in pancreatic ? cells.

Project description:Aims/hypothesisRho GTPases (Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1 [Rac1] and cell division cycle 42 [Cdc42]) have been shown to regulate glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) via cytoskeletal remodelling, trafficking and fusion of insulin-secretory granules with the plasma membrane. GTP loading of these G proteins, which is facilitated by GDP/GTP exchange factors, is a requisite step in the regulation of downstream effector proteins. Guanine nucleotide exchange factor VAV2 (VAV2), a member of the Dbl family of proteins, has been identified as one of the GDP/GTP exchange factors for Rac1. Despite recent evidence on the regulatory roles of VAV2 in different cell types, roles of this guanine nucleotide exchange factor in the signalling events leading to GSIS remain undefined. Using immunological, short interfering RNA (siRNA), pharmacological and microscopic approaches we investigated the role of VAV2 in GSIS from islet beta cells.MethodsCo-localisation of Rac1 and VAV2 was determined by Triton X-114 phase partition and confocal microscopy. Glucose-induced actin remodelling was quantified by live cell imaging using the LifeAct-GFP fluorescent biosensor. Rac1 activation was determined by G protein linked immunosorbent assay (G-LISA).ResultsWestern blotting indicated that VAV2 is expressed in INS-1 832/13 beta cells, normal rat islets and human islets. Vav2 siRNA markedly attenuated GSIS in INS-1 832/13 cells. Ehop-016, a newly discovered small molecule inhibitor of the VAV2-Rac1 interaction, or siRNA-mediated knockdown of VAV2 markedly attenuated glucose-induced Rac1 activation and GSIS in INS-1 832/13 cells. Pharmacological findings were recapitulated in primary rat islets. A high glucose concentration promoted co-localisation of Rac1 and VAV2. Real-time imaging in live cells indicated a significant inhibition of glucose-induced cortical actin remodelling by Ehop-016.Conclusions/interpretationOur data provide the first evidence to implicate VAV2 in glucose-induced Rac1 activation, actin remodelling and GSIS in pancreatic beta cells.
