Project description:Members of the 14-3-3 protein family are often assumed to have redundant, over-lapping roles due to their high sequence homology and ubiquitous expression. To better understand the role of 14-3-3 in beta-cells, we generated beta-cell-specific 14-3-3 knockout (14-3-3KO) mice, 14-3-3KO mice displayed potentiated insulin secretion due to enhanced mitochondrial function and ATP synthesis.

Project description:While critical for neurotransmitter synthesis, 14-3-3 proteins are often assumed to have redundant functions due to their ubiquitous expression, but despite this assumption, various 14-3-3 isoforms have been implicated in regulating metabolism. We previously reported contributions of 14-3-3ζ in β cell function, but these studies were performed in tumor-derived MIN6 cells and systemic KO mice. To further characterize the regulatory roles of 14-3-3ζ in β cell function, we generated β cell-specific 14-3-3ζ-KO mice. Although no effects on β cell mass were detected, potentiated glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS), mitochondrial function, and ATP synthesis were observed. Deletion of 14-3-3ζ also altered the β cell transcriptome, as genes associated with mitochondrial respiration and oxidative phosphorylation were upregulated. Acute 14-3-3 protein inhibition in mouse and human islets recapitulated the enhancements in GSIS and mitochondrial function, suggesting that 14-3-3ζ is the critical isoform in β cells. In dysfunctional db/db islets and human islets from type 2 diabetic donors, expression of Ywhaz/YWHAZ, the gene encoding 14-3-3ζ, was inversely associated with insulin secretion, and pan-14-3-3 protein inhibition led to enhanced GSIS and mitochondrial function. Taken together, this study demonstrates important regulatory functions of 14-3-3ζ in the regulation of β cell function and provides a deeper understanding of how insulin secretion is controlled in β cells.

Project description:After the discovery of insulin a century ago, extensive work has been done to unravel the molecular network regulating insulin secretion. Here, we performed a chemical screen and identified AZD7762, a compound that potentiates glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) of human β cell line, healthy and type 2 diabetic (T2D) human islets, and primary cynomolgus macaque islets. In vivo studies in diabetic mouse models and cynomolgus macaques demonstrated that AZD7762 enhances GSIS and improves glucose tolerance. Furthermore, genetic manipulation confirmed that ablation of CHEK2 in human β cells results in increased insulin secretion. Consistently, high-fat-diet fed Chk2-/- mice show elevated insulin secretion and improved glucose clearance. Finally, an untargeted metabolic profiling demonstrated the key role of the CHEK2-PP2A-PLK1-G6PD-PPP pathway in insulin secretion. This study successfully identifies a previously unknown insulin secretion regulating pathway that is conserved across rodents, cynomolgus macaques and human β cells in both healthy and T2D conditions.

Project description:Pancreatic beta-cells are specialized for coupling glucose metabolism to insulin peptide production and secretion. Acute glucose exposure robustly and coordinately increases translation of proinsulin and proteins required for secretion of mature insulin peptide. By contrast, chronically elevated glucose levels that occur during diabetes impair beta-cell insulin secretion and have been shown experimentally to suppress insulin translation. Whether translation of other genes critical for insulin secretion are similarly downregulated by chronic high glucose is unknown. Here, we used high-throughput ribosome profiling and nascent proteomics in MIN6 insulinoma cells to elucidate the genome-wide impact of sustained high glucose on beta-cell mRNA translation. Prior to induction of ER stress or suppression of global translation, sustained high glucose suppressed glucose-stimulated insulin secretion and downregulated translation of not only insulin, but also of mRNAs related to insulin secretory granule formation, exocytosis, and metabolism-coupled insulin secretion. Translation of these mRNAs was also downregulated in primary rat and human islets following ex-vivo incubation with sustained high glucose and in an in vivo model of chronic mild hyperglycemia. Furthermore, translational downregulation decreased cellular abundance of these proteins. Our study uncovered a translational regulatory circuit during beta-cell glucose toxicity that impairs expression of proteins with critical roles in beta-cell function.

Project description:Tafazzin is a transacylase which causes the content and molecular structure of cardiolipin (CL) to be altered in the inner mitochondrial membrane. The enzymatic machinery responsible for oxidative respiration are localized to the inner mitochondrial membrane and require CL for activity. As a result, tafazzin is critical for maintaining mitochondrial function. In beta-cells, which are the insulin secreting cells in pancreatic islets, mitochondrial function is linked to insulin secretion. We previously established that tafazzin knock-down mice were lean and maintained insulin sensitivity compared to the obese insulin resistant control litter mates. However, it was unknown whether tafazzin deficiency also influenced insulin secretion in the establishment of the lean phenotype. Using X week-old mice, we ascertained that the number of beta-cells was similar between genotypes. Ex vivo insulin secretion under low glucose conditions was reduced (52%) from islets isolated from tafazzin knock-down mice. Consistent with this tafazzin knock-down mice exhibited reduced fasting insulin plasma insulin levels. Measurement of mitochondrial oxygen consumption revealed that basal oxygen consumption was reduced (58%) in islets from tafazzin-deficient animals. The addition of etomoxir, an inhibitor of mitochondrial fatty acid translocation, significantly elevated basal mitochondrial respiration (5-fold) in islets from tafazzin knockdown mice, indicating a significant fatty acid-mediated inhibitory effect. In contrast, etomoxir lacked any measurable effect on control wild-type islets. The altered mitochondrial function identified in taffazin knock-down islets was not associated with reduced CL content or elevated oxyCL species. Our experiments indicate that tafazzin plays a key role in regulating normal islet beta-cell function.

Project description:Insulin secreted by pancreatic β cells is essential for maintaining the level of blood glucose. Diabetes is mainly caused by the loss of β cells or impaired β cell function. The previous study performed a whole transcriptome analysis on the islets of T2D and the control group, and the results showed that the splicing disorder of the splicing event was about 25%, breast carcinoma amplified sequence 2(BCAS2) is one of the components of the spliceosome, and its function in islet β cell is unclear. Here we report that knockdown of Bcas2 decreases in glucose and KCl-stimulated insulin secretion in the NIT-1 cell line. The pancreas weight, glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity were detected in normal chow-fed and high-fat diet-fed Bcas2 f/f-βKO mice, and β cell mass and islet size was analyzed by immunohistochemistry. Glucose intolerance developed in Bcas2 f/f-βKO mice, but there were no significant differences in pancreas weight, insulin sensitivity, β cell mass and islet size. Further, GSIS and observation of insulin secretion granules were performed on normal chow-fed mice, and it was found that the insulin level in serum decreased and the number of insulin secretion granules decreased in Bcas2 f/f-βKO mice, which was related to the abnormal splicing of Syt7 and Tcf7l2 pre-mRNA. Taken together, these results demonstrate that BCAS2 is involved in alternative splicing during insulin synthesis and secretion. Elisa,islet isolation,insulin secretion

Project description:Adaptation of the islet β-cell insulin secretory response to changing insulin demand is critical for blood glucose homeostasis, yet the mechanisms underlying this adaptation are unknown. Here, we show that nutrient cues adapt insulin secretion by modulating chromatin state and transcription of genes regulating β-cell nutrient sensing and metabolism. Feeding stimulates histone acetylation at sites occupied by the chromatin-modifying enzyme Lsd1 in islets. We demonstrate that β-cell-specific deletion of Lsd1 leads to insulin hypersecretion, aberrant expression of nutrient response genes, and histone hyperacetylation, features we also observed in the db/db model of chronically increased insulin demand. Moreover, genetic variants associated with fasting glucose levels and type 2 diabetes risk are enriched at LSD1-bound sites in human islets, suggesting interindividual variation in β-cell functional adaptation in humans. These findings reveal nutrient state-dependent modulation of the islet epigenome and identify Lsd1 as a regulator of feeding-stimulated chromatin modification and adaptive insulin secretion.
