Phorbol ester stimulation of insulin release and secretory-granule protein phosphorylation in a transplantable rat insulinoma.

ABSTRACT: The effects of tumour-promoting phorbol esters on protein-phosphorylation reactions and secretion in rat insulinoma tissue were investigated with the objective of assessing the possible role of Ca2+- and phospholipid-dependent protein kinases (protein kinase C) in insulin release. 4 beta-Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (TPA) was a potent secretagogue at concentrations above 0.1 microM. TPA-induced release was inhibited by adrenaline or omission of Ca2+ from the extracellular medium and was augmented by theophylline. These findings suggested that TPA activated an exocytotic process. TPA enhanced the Ca2+- and phospholipid-dependent phosphorylation of histone III-S by a soluble protein fraction of the tissue. Endogenous phosphorylation reactions involving soluble and secretory-granule membrane proteins were also stimulated by TPA in tissue homogenates and reconstituted subcellular fractions. Histone phosphorylation and the granule-protein phosphorylation reactions showed similar concentration-dependencies for activation by both Ca2+ and TPA, thus indicating that the same enzyme was involved. It is concluded that the phosphorylation of cytosolic and membrane protein substrates by protein kinase C may be important in the stimulus-secretion coupling mechanism of insulin release.

5-Hydroxytryptamine transport in cells and secretory granules from a transplantable rat insulinoma.

Project description:Mechanisms of transport of 5-hydroxytryptamine in the pancreatic B-cell were investigated by using cell suspensions and secretory granules prepared from a transplantable rat insulinoma. (1) Cells incubated with 5-hydroxy[G-3H]tryptamine at concentrations ranging from 0.1 microM to 5 mM accumulated the radioisotope principally by a simple diffusion process. The incorporated radioactivity was recovered principally as the parent molecule and was recovered predominantly in soluble protein and secretory-granule fractions prepared from the tissue. (2) Isolated granules incubated in buffered iso-osmotic medium without ATP accumulated the amine to concentrations up to 38-fold that of the medium. This process was insensitive to reserpine and occurred over a wide range of 5-hydroxytryptamine concentrations (0.075 microM-25 mM). Above 5 mM, 5-hydroxytryptamine accumulation decreased in parallel with the breakdown of the delta pH across the granule membrane. Uptake was favoured by alkaline media and was reduced by the addition of (NH4)2SO4. In both cases a close correlation was observed between uptake and the transmembrane delta pH, a finding that suggested that 5-hydroxytryptamine permeated the membrane as the free base and equilibrated across the membrane with the delta pH. Binding of 5-hydroxytryptamine to granule constituents also played a part in this process. ATP caused a further doubling of granule 5-hydroxytryptamine uptake by a process that was sensitive to reserpine (0.5 microM). Inhibitor studies suggested that amine transport in this instance was linked to the activity of the granule membrane proton-translocating ATPase. (3) It was concluded that the uptake of amines driven by proton gradients across the insulin-granule membrane could account for the accumulation in vivo of amines in the B-cell.

Characterization of phorbol ester-stimulated serine phosphorylation of the human insulin receptor.

Project description:Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA)-stimulated phosphorylation of the human insulin receptor (IR) was characterized and compared in two cell types of different lineage: normal rat kidney epithelial (NRK) cells and Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) fibroblasts. PMA stimulation increased IR beta-subunit phosphorylation to 252 +/- 43 and 25- +/- 47% (+/- S.D.) of the unstimulated control in NRK and CHO cells respectively. Tryptic phosphopeptide analysis by Tricine/SDS/PAGE revealed significant differences in the PMA-stimulated phosphorylation of the IR in these two cell types. This phosphorylation of the IR was predominantly located in two tryptic phosphopeptides, and these phosphopeptides were absent in an IR mutant truncated by 43 C-terminal amino acids. The major PMA-stimulated tryptic phosphopeptide from in vivo-labelled CHO/IR was immunoprecipitated with an antibody against residues Ser1315 to Lys1329, and this precipitation was blocked with excess unlabelled peptide containing this sequence. Radiosequencing by manual Edman degradation revealed that this tryptic phosphopeptide was phosphorylated at Ser1315. This PMA-stimulated phosphorylation did not inhibit autophosphorylation of the IR in vivo. These results demonstrate that PMA-stimulated phosphorylation of the IR can exhibit significant differences when expressed in different cell types, and that Ser1315 is a major PMA-stimulated phosphorylation site on the human IR.

Isolation and Proteomics of the Insulin Secretory Granule.

Project description:Insulin, a vital hormone for glucose homeostasis is produced by pancreatic beta-cells and when secreted, stimulates the uptake and storage of glucose from the blood. In the pancreas, insulin is stored in vesicles termed insulin secretory granules (ISGs). In Type 2 diabetes (T2D), defects in insulin action results in peripheral insulin resistance and beta-cell compensation, ultimately leading to dysfunctional ISG production and secretion. ISGs are functionally dynamic and many proteins present either on the membrane or in the lumen of the ISG may modulate and affect different stages of ISG trafficking and secretion. Previously, studies have identified few ISG proteins and more recently, proteomics analyses of purified ISGs have uncovered potential novel ISG proteins. This review summarizes the proteins identified in the current ISG proteomes from rat insulinoma INS-1 and INS-1E cell lines. Here, we also discuss techniques of ISG isolation and purification, its challenges and potential future directions.

Transcription profiling of human CHRF-288 cell line after phorbol ester stimulation

Project description:Little is known about the global transcriptional program underlying megakaryocytic (Mk) differentiation, maturation, and apoptosis. Using DNA microarrays and Q-RT-PCR, we examined the transcriptional profile of phorbol-ester-induced Mk differentiation of the megakaryoblastic CHRF-288-11 (CHRF) cell line â a model system for investigating megakaryopoiesis. The goals of this study were to (1) verify the megakaryocytic nature of the CHRF cell line at the transcriptional level, and (2) extract novel insights into the key facets of Mk maturation including polyploidization, proplatelet formation, and apoptosis. Experiment Overall Design: CHRF-288 cells were cultured in the presence of 10 ng/mL phorbol ester (PMA) or equivalent volume of DMSO solvent (0.02%). Unstimulated control cells from time zero (exponentially growing CHRF cells) were also analyzed. For PMA treated legs, only the adherent cells were included in the transcriptional analysis. Two biological replicate experiments were analyzed and approximately one-half of the samples with each experiment were technically replicated. Hybridizations were performed in a reference design with all samples labeled with Cy3 and a reference RNA pool labeled with Cy5.

Neurexin-1? contributes to insulin-containing secretory granule docking.

Project description:Neurexins are a family of transmembrane, synaptic adhesion molecules. In neurons, neurexins bind to both sub-plasma membrane and synaptic vesicle-associated constituents of the secretory machinery, play a key role in the organization and stabilization of the presynaptic active zone, and help mediate docking of synaptic vesicles. We have previously shown that neurexins, like many other protein constituents of the neurotransmitter exocytotic machinery, are expressed in pancreatic ? cells. We hypothesized that the role of neurexins in ? cells parallels their role in neurons, with ?-cell neurexins helping to mediate insulin granule docking and secretion. Here we demonstrate that ? cells express a more restricted pattern of neurexin transcripts than neurons, with a clear predominance of neurexin-1? expressed in isolated islets. Using INS-1E ? cells, we found that neurexin-1? interacts with membrane-bound components of the secretory granule-docking machinery and with the granule-associated protein granuphilin. Decreased expression of neurexin-1?, like decreased expression of granuphilin, reduces granule docking at the ?-cell membrane and improves insulin secretion. Perifusion of neurexin-1? KO mouse islets revealed a significant increase in second-phase insulin secretion with a trend toward increased first-phase secretion. Upon glucose stimulation, neurexin-1? protein levels decrease. This glucose-induced down-regulation may enhance glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. We conclude that neurexin-1? is a component of the ?-cell secretory machinery and contributes to secretory granule docking, most likely through interactions with granuphilin. Neurexin-1? is the only transmembrane component of the docking machinery identified thus far. Our findings provide new insights into the mechanisms of insulin granule docking and exocytosis.

Diminished macrophage apoptosis and reactive oxygen species generation after phorbol ester stimulation in Crohn's disease.

Project description:BackgroundCrohn's Disease (CD) is a chronic relapsing disorder characterized by granulomatous inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. Although its pathogenesis is complex, we have recently shown that CD patients have a systemic defect in macrophage function, which results in the defective clearance of bacteria from inflammatory sites.Methodology/principal findingsHere we have identified a number of additional macrophage defects in CD following diacylglycerol (DAG) homolog phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA) activation. We provide evidence for decreased DNA fragmentation, reduced mitochondrial membrane depolarization, impaired reactive oxygen species production, diminished cytochrome c release and increased IL-6 production compared to healthy subjects after PMA exposure. The observed macrophage defects in CD were stimulus-specific, as normal responses were observed following p53 activation and endoplasmic reticulum stress.ConclusionThese findings add to a growing body of evidence highlighting disordered macrophage function in CD and, given their pivotal role in orchestrating inflammatory responses, defective apoptosis could potentially contribute to the pathogenesis of CD.

Phorbol ester stimulation of RasGRP1 regulates the sodium-chloride cotransporter by a PKC-independent pathway.

Project description:The sodium-chloride cotransporter (NCC) is the principal salt-absorptive pathway in the mammalian distal convoluted tubule (DCT) and is the site of action of one of the most effective classes of antihypertensive medications, thiazide diuretics. We developed a cell model system to assess NCC function in a mammalian cell line that natively expresses NCC, the mouse DCT (mDCT) cell line. We used this system to study the complex regulation of NCC by the phorbol ester (PE) 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), a diacylglycerol (DAG) analog. It has generally been thought that PEs mediate their effects on transporters through the activation of PKC. However, there are at least five other DAG/PE targets. Here we describe how one of those alternate targets of DAG/PE effects, Ras guanyl-releasing protein 1 (RasGRP1), mediates the PE-induced suppression of function and the surface expression of NCC. Functional assessment of NCC by using thiazide-sensitive (22)Na(+) uptakes revealed that TPA completely suppresses NCC function. Biotinylation experiments demonstrated that this result was primarily because of decreased surface expression of NCC. Although inhibitors of PKC had no effect on this suppression, MAPK inhibitors completely prevented the TPA effect. RasGRP1 activates the MAPK pathway through activation of the small G protein Ras. Gene silencing of RasGRP1 prevented the PE-mediated suppression of NCC activity, the activation of the H-Ras isoform of Ras, and the activation of ERK1/2 MAPK. This finding confirmed the critical role of RasGRP1 in mediating the PE-induced suppression of NCC activity through the stimulation of the MAPK pathway.

The Prohormone VGF Regulates ? Cell Function via Insulin Secretory Granule Biogenesis.

Project description:The prohormone VGF is expressed in neuroendocrine and endocrine tissues and regulates nutrient and energy status both centrally and peripherally. We and others have shown that VGF-derived peptides have direct action on the islet ? cell as secretagogues and cytoprotective agents; however, the endogenous function of VGF in the ? cell has not been described. Here, we demonstrate that VGF regulates secretory granule formation. VGF loss-of-function studies in both isolated islets and conditional knockout mice reveal a profound decrease in stimulus-coupled insulin secretion. Moreover, VGF is necessary to facilitate efficient exit of granule cargo from the trans-Golgi network and proinsulin processing. It also functions to replenish insulin granule stores following nutrient stimulation. Our data support a model in which VGF operates at a critical node of granule biogenesis in the islet ? cell to coordinate insulin biosynthesis with ? cell secretory capacity.

Insulin-mimetic actions of phorbol ester in cultured adult rat hepatocytes. Lack of phorbol-ester-elicited inhibition of the insulin signal.

Project description:The actions of the phorbol ester phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) on glucose metabolism, amino acid transport and enzyme inductions were studied in primary cultures of adult-rat hepatocytes and compared with the effects of insulin. PMA and insulin stimulated glycolysis 5- and 7-fold respectively. The half-maximal effective dose of PMA was 60 nM. Stimulation of glycolysis was accompanied by an insulin- or PMA-dependent and okadaic acid-sensitive activation of 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase and pyruvate kinase, as well as by an increase in fructose 2,6-bisphosphate. Glucose production from glycogen was decreased to 50% by PMA and to 15% by insulin, whereas glycogen synthesis was stimulated 2- and 7-fold respectively. PMA also increased aminoisobutyrate uptake, induced ornithine decarboxylase and counteracted the glucagon-dependent induction of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase. PMA strongly antagonized the hormonal activation of glycogen synthesis, but all other insulin actions assayed were not decreased by the phorbol ester. Whereas additive effects of PMA and insulin were not detected, PMA and a simultaneous increase in the glucose concentration had additive effects on glycolysis and glycogen metabolism. Cell exposure to insulin resulted in receptor autophosphorylation and a more than 10-fold activation of the receptor tyrosine kinase. PMA did not alter these effects, and also had no effect on the receptor phosphorylation status in the absence of insulin. Long-term (15 h) pretreatment of the cells with PMA abolished all PMA effects, but not the insulin effects. It is concluded that PMA does not generally antagonize the action of insulin in differentiated adult hepatocytes, and that insulin and PMA may use related signal-transduction pathways.
