OBJECTIVE Heterozygous mutations in the human preproinsulin (INS) gene are a cause of nonsyndromic neonatal or early-infancy diabetes. Here, we sought to identify INS mutations associated with maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) or nonautoimmune diabetes in mid-adult life, and to explore the molecular mechanisms involved. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS The INS gene was sequenced in 16 Fr...
If an adipocyte is programmed to secrete insulin, then the insulin released may amplify the insulin action by an autocrine manner. To examine this hypothesis in vitro, we investigated the effects of expressing the preproinsulin gene in 3T3L1 adipocytes on (pro)insulin release and glucose uptake. The human preproinsulin gene was transferred into 3T3L1 adipocytes by infecting the cells with recom...
Alteration of pancreatic beta-cell survival and Preproinsulin gene expression by prolonged hyperglycemia may result from increased c-MYC expression. However, it is unclear whether c-MYC effects on beta-cell function are compatible with its proposed role in glucotoxicity. We therefore tested the effects of short-term c-MYC activation on key beta-cell stimulus-secretion coupling events in islets ...
The final pathway of beta cell destruction leading to insulin deficiency, hyperglycemia, and clinical type 1 diabetes is unknown. Here we show that circulating CTLs can kill beta cells via recognition of a glucose-regulated epitope. First, we identified 2 naturally processed epitopes from the human preproinsulin signal peptide by elution from HLA-A2 (specifically, the protein encoded by the A*0...
Studies in transgenic animals, rodent insulin-secreting cell lines and rodent islets suggest that insulin acts in an autocrine manner to regulate beta-cell mass and gene expression. Very little is known about the in vitro roles played by insulin in human islets, and the regulatory role of insulin in protecting against beta-cell apoptosis. We have identified mRNAs encoding IRs (insulin receptors...
Chronic exposure to elevated levels of fatty acids impairs pancreatic beta cell function, a phenomenon thought to contribute to the progressive deterioration of insulin secretion in type 2 diabetes. We have previously demonstrated that prolonged exposure of isolated islets to elevated levels of palmitate inhibits preproinsulin mRNA levels in the presence of high glucose concentrations. However,...
BACKGROUND Type 1 diabetes mellitus is one of the metabolic diseases that cause insulin-producing pancreatic ß cells be destroyed by immune system self-reactive T cells. Recent-ly, new treatment methods have been developed including use of the stem cells, ß islet cells transplantation and gene therapy by viral and non-viral gene constructs. OBJECTIVES The aim of this project was preparing the...
