We describe an immunoradiometric assay for human intact proinsulin in serum. In this method, one monoclonal antibody, coated onto polyacrylamide beads, cross-reacts with proinsulins and insulin. A sandwich is formed with intact proinsulin, split (65-66) proinsulin, and des (64-65) proinsulin binding with an 125I-labeled monoclonal antibody specific for an epitope at the intact B-C junction of p...
Glucose acutely stimulates proinsulin synthesis in pancreatic beta-cells through a poorly understood post-transcriptional mechanism. In the present study, we demonstrate in pancreatic beta-cells that glucose stimulates the recruitment of ribosome-associated proinsulin mRNA, located in the cytoplasm, to the ER (endoplasmic reticulum), the site of proinsulin synthesis, and that this plays an impo...
BACKGROUND Insulin responses and insulin levels seem to decline with age. However, the question of beta cell impairment attributable to ageing has been sparsely addressed in population-based studies. Non-fasting insulin levels are determined by the ambient degree of insulin resistance together with the capacity of beta cells to compensate by insulin secretion to prevent hyperglycaemia. A raised...
Gel filtration of human serum extracts on Bio-Gel P-30 columns produced two peaks of material reactive with insulin antisera. The earlier eluting fraction appeared at the elution position of proinsulin (serum proinsulin-like component, PLC) while the second fraction corresponded in elution volume to insulin. In assays using porcine insulin-(131)I and an antiserum against porcine insulin, human ...
Abnormalities of carbohydrate metabolism in hyperthyroid patients have been long noted. Elevated proinsulin level is considered as an early marker of B-cell impairment. Proinsulin levels in hyperthyroid patients decreased after antithyroid drug therapy. However, proinsulin in hypothyroid patients was only rarely reported, and the difference was only demonstrated after glucose stimulation-there ...
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Increased proinsulin relative to insulin levels have been associated with subclinical atherosclerosis (measured by carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT)) and are predictive of future cardiovascular disease (CVD), independently of established risk factors. The mechanisms linking proinsulin to atherosclerosis and CVD are unclear. A genome-wide meta-analysis has identified nine...
Many of the mechanisms that control insulin processing and packaging by interaction with different elements along the secretory pathway remain poorly understood. We have investigated the possibility that Cpn60, a member of the heat shock protein family, may be present in rat insulin-secreting cells, participating in the proinsulin-insulin maturation process. Immunofluorescence and high resoluti...
Proinsulin folding within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) remains incompletely understood, but it is clear that in mutant INS gene-induced diabetes of youth (MIDY), progression of the (three) native disulfide bonds of proinsulin becomes derailed, causing insulin deficiency, β-cell ER stress, and onset of diabetes. Herein, we have undertaken a molecular dissection of proinsulin disulfide bond for...
Upon nonreducing Tris-Tricine-urea-SDS-PAGE, newly synthesized proinsulin from pancreatic islets of normal rodents forms a band fast mobility representing the native disulfide isomer, which is efficiently secreted. In addition at least two slower migrating "isomer 1 and 2" bands are recovered, not discernible under reducing conditions, which represent minor species that exhibit less efficient s...
The proinsulin-like component comprised approximately 20% of total circulating basal immunoreactive insulin in 15 patients without islet cell tumors. 15 min after oral glucose, the concentration of the proinsulin-like component was unchanged and its percentage of the total immunoreactive insulin decreased with the acute release of the insulin component. By 2 hr after oral glucose, the concentra...
