    Notes: Summary Since the insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) is the major substrate of the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase and has been shown to activate phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase and promote GLUT4 translocation, the IRS-1 gene is a potential candidate for development of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). In this study, we have identified IRS-1 gene polymorphisms, evaluated their frequencies in Japanese subjects, and analysed the contribution of these polymorphisms to the development of NIDDM. The entire coding region of the IRS-1 gene of 94 subjects (47 NIDDM and 47 control subjects) was screened by polymerase chain reaction-single stranded conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) analysis. Seven SSCP polymorphisms were identified. These corresponded to two previously identified polymorphisms [Gly971→Arg (GGG→AGG) and Ala804 (GCA→GCG)] as well as five novel polymorphisms [Pro190→Arg (CCC→CGC), Met209→Thr (ATG→ACG), Ser809→Phe (TCT→TTT), Leu142 (CTT→CTC), and Gly625 (GGC→GGT)]. Although the prevalence of each of these polymorphisms was not statistically different between NIDDM and control subjects, the prevalence of the four IRS-1 polymorphisms with an amino acid substitution together was significantly higher in NIDDM than in control subjects (23.4 vs 8.5 %, p 〈 0.05), and two substitutions (Met209→Thr and Ser809→Phe) were found only in NIDDM patients. Equilibrium glucose infusion rates during a euglycaemic clamp in NIDDM and control subjects with the IRS-1 polymorphisms decreased by 29.5 and 22.0 %, respectively on the average when compared to those in comparable groups without polymorphisms, although they were not statistically significant. Thus, IRS-1 polymorphisms may contribute in part to the insulin resistance and development of NIDDM in Japanese subjects; however, they do not account for the major part of the decrease in insulin-stimulated glucose uptake which is observed in subjects with clinically apparent NIDDM.

    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: Summary In pancreatic alpha cells, the existence and function of the insulin receptor has not yet been fully established. In this study, to confirm the expression of functional insulin receptors in pancreatic alpha cells, we performed: 1) insulin receptor binding assay, 2) Northern blot analysis and RT-PCR (reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction) amplification of insulin receptor mRNA, 3) immunocytochemical staining, 4) biosynthetic labelling of insulin receptor protein using [35S]methionine, 5) analysis of insulin-stimulated autophosphorylation of the insulin receptor in glucagon secreting cell lines, In-R1-G9 and αTC clone 6 cells. Glucagon secretion decreased with the addition of insulin in both cells. The receptor binding studies using [125I-Tyr-A14] insulin revealed that both cells possessed a significant number of insulin receptors (In-R1-G9: K1=2.1×109mol/l−1, K2=6.2×107 mol/l−1, R1=0.2×104, R2=1.86×104 sites/cell; αTC clone 6: K1=2.1×109 mol/l−1, K2=7.3×107 mol/l−1, R1=0.27×104, R2=1.95×104 sites/cell). Northern blot analysis as well as RT-PCR amplification showed the mRNA specific for insulin receptor in both cells. By immunocytochemical staining using anti-insulin receptor α-subunit antibody, positive immunostaining for insulin receptor was observed in both cells. [35S]Methionine labelling of both cells followed by immunoprecipitation using anti-insulin receptor antibody showed the correct size of the insulin receptor protein. The insulin receptor expressed in these cells underwent autophosphorylation by insulin stimulation. It is concluded that functional insulin receptors are properly expressed in In-R1-G9 and αTC clone 6 cells.

    Notes: Summary It has been suggested that bradykinin stimulates glucose uptake in experiments in vivo and in cultured cells. However, its mechanism has not yet been fully elucidated. In this study, the effects of bradykinin on the insulin signalling pathway were evaluated in isolated dog adipocytes. The bradykinin receptor binding study revealed that dog adipocytes possessed significant numbers of bradykinin receptors (Kd=83 pmol/l, binding sites = 1.7×104 site/cell). Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction amplification showed the mRNA specific for bradykinin B2 receptor in the adipocytes. Bradykinin alone did not increase 2-deoxyglucose uptake in adipocytes; however, in the presence of insulin (10−7 mol/l) it significantly increased 2-deoxyglucose uptake in a dose-dependent manner. Bradykinin also enhanced insulin stimulated GLUT4 translocation from the intracellular fraction to the cell membrane, and insulin induced phosphorylation of the insulin receptor Β subunit and insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) without affecting the binding affinities or numbers of cell surface insulin receptors in dog adipocytes. The time-course of insulin stimulated phosphorylation of the insulin receptor Β subunit revealed that phosphorylation reached significantly higher levels at 10 min, and stayed at the higher levels until 120 min in the presence of bradykinin, suggesting that bradykinin delayed the dephosphorylation of the insulin receptor. It is concluded that bradykinin could potentiate insulin induced glucose uptake through GLUT4 translocation. This effect could be explained by the potency of bradykinin to upregulate the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase activity which stimulates phosphorylation of IRS-1, followed by GLUT4 translocation.

    Cellular characterization of pituitary adenoma cell line (AtT20 cell) transfected with insulin, glucose transporter type 2 (GLUT2) and glucokinase genes: Insulin secretion in response to physiological concentrations of glucose (1998)

    Notes: Summary We investigated the mechanisms of insulin secretion by transfecting into a pituitary adenoma cell line (AtT20) a combination of genes encoding human insulin (HI), glucose transporter type 2 (GLUT2) and glucokinase (GK), followed by studying the characteristics of these cells. In static incubation, a cell line transfected with insulin gene alone (AtT20HI) secreted mature human insulin but this was not in a glucose-dependent manner. Other cell lines transfected with insulin and GLUT2 genes (AtT20HI-GLUT2–3) or with insulin and GK genes (AtT20HI-GK-1) secreted insulin in response to glucose concentrations of only less than 1 mmol/l. In contrast, cell lines transfected with insulin, GLUT2 and GK genes (AtT20HI-GLUT2-GK-6, AtT20HI-GLUT2-GK-7 and AtT20HI-GLUT2-GK-10) showed a glucose-dependent insulin secretion up to 25 mmol/l glucose. Glucose utilization and oxidation were increased in AtT20HI-GLUT2-GK cell lines but not in AtT20HI, AtT20HI-GLUT2–3 and AtT20HI-GK-1 cells at physiological glucose concentrations, compared with AtT20 cells. Diazoxide, nifedipine and 2-deoxy glucose suppressed (p 〈 0.05) glucose stimulated insulin secretion in AtT20HI-GLUT2-GK-6 cells. Glibenclamide, KCl or corticotropin releasing factor (CRF) stimulated (p 〈 0.05) insulin secretion both in AtT20HI and AtT20HI-GLUT2-GK-6 cells. Insulin secretion stimulated by glibenclamide, KCl or CRF was further enhanced by the addition of 25 mmol/l glucose in AtT20HI-GLUT2-GK-6 cells but not in AtT20HI cells. In perifusion experiments, a stepwise increase in glucose concentration from 5 to 25 mmol/l stimulated insulin secretion in AtT20HI-GLUT2-GK cell lines but the response lacked a clear first phase of insulin secretion. Our results suggest that both GLUT2 and glucokinase are necessary for the glucose stimulated insulin secretion in at least rodent cell lines, and that other element(s) are necessary for a biphasic insulin secretion typically observed in beta cells.
