Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with acute and chronic complications that cause major morbidity and significant mortality. Calpains, a family of Ca(2+)-dependent cytosolic cysteine proteases, can modulate their substrates' structure and function through limited proteolytic activity. Calpain is a ubiquitous calcium-sensitive protease that is essential for normal physiologic function. However, alterations in calcium homeostasis lead to pathologic activation of calpain in diabetes mellitus. Since not much is known on the relationship between calpain and diabetes mellitus, this review outlines the contribution of calpain to chronic complications of diabetes mellitus, such as diabetic cardiomyopathy, diabetic nephropathy and diabetic retinopathy.

Abstract
Calpain activity has been implicated in several cellular processes such as cell signaling, apoptosis, exocytosis, mitochondrial metabolism and cytoskeletal remodeling. Evidence has indicated that the impairment of calpain expression and the activity of different calpain family members are involved in diverse pathologies. Calpain-10 has been implicated in the development of type 2 diabetes, and polymorphisms in the CAPN10 gene have been associated with an increased risk of developing this disease. The present work focused on the molecular biology of calpain-10, supporting its key participation in glucose metabolism. Current knowledge regarding the role of calpain-10 in the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus and diabetes-related diseases is additionally reviewed.

Abstract
The incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is increasing worldwide and diverse environmental and genetic risk factors are well recognized. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the calpain-10 gene (CAPN-10), which encodes a protein involved in the secretion and action of insulin, and chronic exposure to inorganic arsenic (iAs) through drinking water have been independently associated with an increase in the risk for T2DM. In the present work we evaluated if CAPN-10 SNPs and iAs exposure jointly contribute to the outcome of T2DM. Insulin secretion (beta-cell function) and insulin sensitivity were evaluated indirectly through validated indexes (HOMA2) in subjects with and without T2DM who have been exposed to a gradient of iAs in their drinking water in northern Mexico. The results were analyzed taking into account the presence of the risk factor SNPs SNP-43 and -44 in CAPN-10. Subjects with T2DM had significantly lower beta-cell function and insulin sensitivity. An inverse association was found between beta-cell function and iAs exposure, the association being more pronounced in subjects with T2DM. Subjects without T2DM who were carriers of the at-risk genotype SNP-43 or -44, also had significantly lower beta-cell function. The association of SNP-43 with beta-cell function was dependent on iAs exposure, age, gender and BMI, whereas the association with SNP-44 was independent of all of these factors. Chronic exposure to iAs seems to be a risk factor for T2DM in humans through the reduction of beta-cell function, with an enhanced effect seen in the presence of the at-risk genotype of SNP-43 in CAPN-10. Carriers of CAPN-10 SNP-44 have also shown reduced beta-cell function.

Abstract
Genetic variations in the calpain 10 gene (CAPN10) were previously implicated with increased risk of type 2 diabetes (T2DM). We studied the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms in the CAPN10 gene, SNP -43, SNP -19 and SNP -63, with T2DM and its complications. Overall, we examined 1440 individuals: 880 patients with diabetes and 560 healthy subjects, all Caucasians of Polish origin. All subjects were genotyped for the CAPN10 SNPs by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The frequencies of alleles, genotypes and haplotypes at three studied loci were similar between the groups. However, the -43 SNP was significantly more frequent in T2DM patients with coexisting cardiovascular disease (CVD) than in patients without CVD (p=0.001). The -43 SNP was still significantly associated with the risk of CVD after adjusting for potential risk factors including male gender, age, BMI, dyslipidemia and hypertension. The odds ratio for G allele for CVD+ versus CVD- patients was 1.89, 95% CI 1.52-2.35. None of the studied SNPs was significantly associated with microvascular diabetic complications. There was a tendency to increased frequency of SNP -43 1/1 homozygotes in patients with diabetic retinopathy (p=0.057). The homozygous haplotype combination 121/121 was more frequent in T2DM patients than in non-diabetic controls (18.4% vs 10.5%, p=0.019). In conclusion, the results of our study suggest the significant association of SNP -43 with the risk of CVD coexisting with T2DM. We also observed that 121/121 haplotype was associated with T2DM in the studied population.

Abstract
Calpain-10 is a novel ubiquitous calpain family member that has been implicated as a susceptibility gene for type 2 diabetes. One of the major challenges is that the function of calpain-10 is not yet known. To address this problem, we purified human calpain-10 from different sources, including the endogenous and the recombinant calpain-10 from HeLa S3 and 293F cells, respectively. Both endogenous and recombinant calpain-10 were present as two major forms with different origins. Interestingly, radiolabeled calpain-10 was found to be efficiently cleaved at the N-terminal region by calpain-2, but not by other proteases. None of these calpain-10 proteins have putative proteolytic activity under in vitro conditions when examined using different peptide substrates, including more than 70 in vitro translated, radiolabeled oligopeptides. Our results raise the possibility that calpain-10 may require a special intracellular localization or interacting partner(s) to acquire proteolytic activity, or it functions by interacting with other proteins rather than through its proteolytic activity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Molecular background of diabetic retinopathy (DR) remains unknown. An interesting group of candidate genes encode proteins involved in insulin resistance. AIM To search for association between the PPARgamma, calpain 10, PTPN1 genes and DR in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS We examined 238 T2DM subjects without DR (NDR) and 121 with DR (mean diabetes duration: 9.1+/-6.8 and 15.1+/-7.7, respectively). The subjects were genotyped for four markers: Pro12Ala of PPARgamma, SNP43 of calpain 10, rs3787345 and rs754118 of PTPN1. The distributions of the genotypes were compared using the chi(2)-test and Fisher exact test. RESULTS The alleles and genotypes were not associated with DR in non-stratified analysis. To investigate the impact of T2DM duration, we performed analysis that excluded short duration NDR subjects and long-duration DR subjects. It allowed obtaining groups with similar T2DM duration but different DR status (DR: 88 individuals, 11.4+/-5.3 years; NDR: 136 individuals, 13.2 years+/-6.2, respectively). This analysis suggested that the alanine variant of Pro12Ala might be associated with decreased risk of DR (p=0.026 for alleles, p=0.038 and p=0.014 for genotypes in additive and dominant models, respectively). In multivariable logistic regression that included non-genetic parameters, Pro12Ala was not an independent risk factor (p=0.28). Further analysis showed, however, that Pro12Ala remained significant when urea level was excluded from the model. CONCLUSION The alanine variant of the Pro12Ala polymorphism of PPARgamma might be associated with decreased risk of DR in T2DM. This effect may be indirect, at least in part, due to diabetic kidney disease.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) can lead to death without treatment and it has been predicted that the condition will affect 215 million people worldwide by 2010. T2DM is a multifactorial disorder whose precise genetic causes and biochemical defects have not been fully elucidated, but at both levels, calpains appear to play a role. Positional cloning studies mapped T2DM susceptibility to CAPN10, the gene encoding the intracellular cysteine protease, calpain 10. Further studies have shown a number of noncoding polymorphisms in CAPN10 to be functionally associated with T2DM while the identification of coding polymorphisms, suggested that mutant calpain 10 proteins may also contribute to the disease. Here we review recent studies, which in addition to the latter enzyme, have linked calpain 5, calpain 3, and its splice variants, calpain 2 and calpain 1 to T2DM-related metabolic pathways along with T2DM-associated phenotypes, such as obesity and impaired insulin secretion, and T2DM-related complications, such as epithelial dysfunction and diabetic cataract.

Abstract
PCOS is known to be associated with an increased risk of T2DM and has been proposed to share a common genetic background with T2DM. Recent studies suggest that the Calpain-10 gene (CAPN10) is an interesting candidate gene for PCOS susceptibility. However, contradictory results were reported concerning the contribution of certain CAPN10 variants, especially of UCSNP-44, to genetic predisposition to T2DM, hirsutism, and PCOS. By means of MALDI-TOF MS technique, we genotyped an expanded single nucleotide polymorphism panel, including the CAPN10 UCSNP-44, -43, -56, ins/del-19, -110, -58, -63, and -22 in a sample of 146 German PCOS women and 606 population-based controls. Statistical analysis revealed an association between UCSNP-56 and susceptibility to PCOS with an odds ratio (OR) of 2.91 (95% CI=1.51-5.61) for women carrying an AA genotype compared with GG. As expected, the 22-genotype of the ins/del-19 variant, which is in high linkage disequilibrium (r2=0.98) with UCSNP-56, was also significantly associated (OR=2.98, 95% CI=1.55-5.73). None of the additionally tested variants alone showed any significant association with PCOS. A meta-analysis including our study (altogether 623 PCOS cases and 1,224 controls) also showed significant association only with ins/del-19. The most common haplotype TGG3AGCA was significantly associated with a lower risk for PCOS (OR=0.487, P=0.0057). In contrast, the TGA2AGCA haplotype was associated with an increased risk for PCOS (OR=3.557, P=0.0011). By investigating a broad panel of CAPN10 variants, our results pointed to an allele dose-dependent association of UCSNP-56 and ins/del-19 with PCOS.

Abstract
Calpains, a superfamily of Ca(2+)-activated proteases, are associated with an array of physiological and pathological events, including susceptibility to diabetes. Recently, increased calpain activity has been linked to reduced endothelium-derived nitric oxide-mediated vasodilatation in diabetes. However, a similar mechanism for neuronal-derived nitric oxide has not been examined. Thus, the aim was to investigate effects of the calpain inhibitor A-705253, N-(1-benzyl-2-carbamoyl-2-oxoethyl)-2-[E-2-(4-diethyl-aminomethylphenyl)ethen-1-yl]benzamide, on nitrergic neurovascular function in diabetic mice. Diabetes was induced by streptozotocin; duration was 6 weeks. Intervention A-705253 treatment (30 mg/kg/day) was given for 2 weeks following 4 weeks of untreated diabetes. After 6 weeks of diabetes, corpus cavernosa were isolated in organ baths for measurement of agonist- and electrical stimulation-evoked smooth muscle tensions. Adrenergic nerve- and phenylephrine-mediated contractions were not altered by diabetes or calpain inhibition. In contrast, maximum nitrergic nerve-mediated relaxation of phenylephrine-precontracted cavernosum was approximately 29% reduced by diabetes (P<0.001). This neurological deficit was 66% corrected by A-705253 treatment (P<0.05). Maximum nitric oxide-mediated endothelium-dependent relaxation to acetylcholine was attenuated approximately 39% by diabetes (P<0.01). Similarly, maximum endothelium-independent relaxation to the nitric oxide donor, sodium nitroprusside, was blunted approximately 23% by diabetes (P<0.001). A-705253 treatment partially improved endothelium-dependent relaxation to acetylcholine but had no effect on the deficit in response to nitroprusside. The data suggest that calpain contributes to the aetiology of diabetic nitrergic autonomic neuropathy and endothelial dysfunction, which may provide a novel therapeutic target for neurovascular complications.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS Diabetes is associated with microvascular damage in all populations, but diabetic patients of Black African descent (African Caribbeans) have a greater risk of vascular target organ damage than would be anticipated for any given blood pressure level. We investigated whether this may be due to differences in the microvasculature. MATERIALS AND METHODS To assess the maximum hyperaemic response to heating and the post-ischaemic response, Laser Doppler fluximetry was performed on 51 and 100 Europeans, and on 66 and 88 African Caribbeans with and without diabetes, respectively. Subjects were aged between 40 and 65 years and recruited from the general population. Echocardiographic interventricular septal thickness (IVST) was measured as a proxy for vascular target organ damage. RESULTS In diabetic subjects of both ethnic groups, the maximum hyperaemic response and peak response to ischaemia were attenuated as compared to the corresponding non-diabetic subjects (p=0.08 for diabetic and 0.03 for non-diabetic Europeans; p=0.03 and 0.1 for African Caribbeans). Adjustment for cardiovascular risk factors, in particular insulin and blood pressure, abolished these differences in Europeans (p=0.8 for diabetic and 0.2 for non-diabetic Europeans), but not in African Caribbeans (p=0.03 and 0.05). CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION Persisting microvascular dysfunction in African Caribbeans may contribute to the increased risk of target organ damage observed in diabetes in this population. The weak contribution of conventional cardiovascular risk factors to these disturbances indicates that conventional therapeutic interventions may be less beneficial in these patients. There was a risk-factor-independent, inverse association between IVST and maximal hyperaemia. These ethnic differences in microvascular responses to temperature and arterial occlusion could account for increased target organ damage in African Caribbeans.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW A variation in the gene encoding the cysteine protease calpain 10 (CAPN10) was recently linked and associated with type 2 diabetes by positional cloning. This positional cloning was a follow-up investigation to the identification of a diabetes-linked region on human chromosome 2 identified by genome-wide scanning a few years earlier. In this paper we give a general background on the genetic studies performed on CAPN10 to date, and review the most recent studies on the functional role of calpain 10. RECENT FINDING A haplotype or haplotype combination comprising three intronic single nucleotide polymorphisms (UCSNP-43, 19, and 63) were associated with a threefold increased risk of type 2 diabetes in the population in which linkage was first found. Another polymorphism, UCSNP-44, which is in linkage disequilibrium with a coding single-nucleotide polymorphism (Thr504Ala), has subsequently been associated with type 2 diabetes in extensive meta-analyses. Meanwhile, initial studies probing the possible role of calpain-10, completely unknown at the time, are now being pursued, both in isolated cells and humans. SUMMARY The positional cloning of CAPN10 as a candidate gene for type 2 diabetes has been particularly fruitful. Not only has it identified an important and surprising piece of the puzzle underlying the development of diabetes, but it has also modelled and paved the way for investigations concerning complex genetic diseases other than type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
Calpain-10 (CAPN10) is the first type 2 diabetes susceptibility gene to be identified through a genome scan, with polymorphisms being associated with altered CAPN10 expression. Functional data have been hitherto elusive, but we report here a corresponding increase between CAPN10 expression level and regulated insulin secretion. Pancreatic beta-cell secretory granule exocytosis is mediated by the soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive fusion protein attachment receptor protein complex of synaptosomal-associated protein of 25 kDa (SNAP-25), syntaxin 1, and vesicle-associated membrane protein 2. We report, for the first time, direct binding of a calpain-10 isoform with members of this complex. Furthermore, SNAP-25 undergoes a Ca2+-dependent partial proteolysis during exocytosis, with calpain protease inhibitor similarly suppressing both insulin secretion and SNAP-25 proteolysis. Based upon these findings, we postulate that an isoform of calpain-10 is a Ca2+-sensor that functions to trigger exocytosis in pancreatic beta-cells.

Abstract
Calpains are a large family of cytosolic cysteine proteases composed of at least fourteen distinct isoforms. The family can be divided into two groups on the basis of distribution: ubiquitous and tissue-specific. Our current knowledge about calpains properties apply mainly to the ubiquitous isozymes, micro- and milli-calpain (classic calpains). These forms are activated after autolysis. Translocation and subsequent interactions with phospholipids of these enzymes increase their activity. Calpains are able to cleave a subset of substrates, as enzymes, structural and signalling proteins. Cardiac pathologies, such as heart failure, atrial fibrillation or clinical states particularly ischemia reperfusion, are associated with an increase of cytosolic calcium and in this regards, calpain activation has been evoked as one of the mediators leading to myocardial damage. Calpain activities have been shown to be increased in hearts experimentally subjected to ischemia reperfusion or during hypertrophy, but also in atrial tissue harvested from patients suffering from atrial fibrillations. These activities have been related to an increase of the proteolysis of different myocardial components, particularly, troponins, which are major regulators of the contraction of cardiomyocytes. Moreover, recent works have demonstrated that calpains are involved in the development of myocardial cell death by necrosis or apoptosis.

Abstract
The calpain-10 gene (CAPN10) on chromosome 2q37.3 was the first candidate gene for type 2 diabetes (T2D) identified through a genomewide screen and positional cloning. One polymorphism (UCSNP-43: G-->A) and a specific haplotype combination defined by three polymorphisms (UCSNP-43, -19, and -63) were linked to an increased risk of T2D in several populations. To quantitatively assess the collective evidence for the effects of CAPN10 on risk of T2D, we conducted a meta-analysis of both population-based and family-based association studies. We retrieved data from the MEDLINE, PubMed, and Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man databases, as well as from other relevant reports and abstracts published up to July 2003. From a total of 26 studies with primary data (21 population-based studies: 5,013 cases and 5,876 controls; 5 family-based studies: 487 parent-offspring trios), we developed a summary database that contains variables of study design, study population/ethnicity, specific polymorphisms and haplotype combinations in CAPN10, and diabetes-related metabolic phenotypes. For population-based studies, we used both fixed-effects and random-effects models to calculate the pooled odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for the associations of CAPN10 genotypes with the risk of T2D. We also calculated weighted mean differences for the associations between CAPN10 and diabetes-related quantitative traits. Under either an additive or a dominant effect model, we found no statistically significant relation between CAPN10 genotypes in the UCSNP-43 locus and T2D risk. However, under a recessive model, individuals homozygous for the common G allele had a statistically significant 19% higher risk of T2D than carriers of the A allele (OR 1.19; 95% CI 1.07-1.33). The association between the 112/121 haplotype combination and T2D risk appeared to be overestimated by several initial small studies with positive findings (OR 1.38; 95% CI 1.04-1.84). After we removed these initial studies, this association became nonsignificant (OR 1.11; 95% CI 0.91-1.35). Moreover, we found no evidence for the associations between the UCSNP-43 G/G genotype and the 112/121 haplotype combination and metabolic phenotypes. Our meta-analysis of family-based studies showed only an overtransmission of the rare allele C in UCSNP-44 from heterozygous parents to their affected offspring with T2D. Our analysis indicates that inadequate statistical power, racial/ethnic differences in frequencies of alleles, haplotypes and haplotype combinations, potential gene-gene or gene-environment interactions, publication bias, and multiple hypothesis testing may contribute to the significant heterogeneity in previous studies of CAPN10 and T2D. Our findings also suggest that both large-scale, well-designed association studies and functional studies are warranted to either reliably confirm or conclusively refute the initial hypothesis regarding the role of CAPN10 in T2D risk.

Abstract
The follow-up studies to the original report of association of variation at calpain 10 (CAPN10) with type 2 diabetes in the Mexican-American population of Starr County, Texas, encompass a broad range of science. There are association studies on genetic variation at CAPN10 in different human populations over a range of phenotypes related to type 2 diabetes, physiological studies on the biological functions of calpain proteases, and evolutionary studies on CAPN10 and the NIDDM1 region. We review here the studies published to date on CAPN10, as well as the latest findings from positional cloning studies on a number of other complex disorders. Collectively, these studies provide perspective on the challenges of moving from the linkage mapping and positional cloning studies on which we have been focused to an understanding of the biology shaping the relationship of genotype to phenotype at loci influencing susceptibility to complex disorders like type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The two leading causes of end-stage renal disease in the United States are diabetes mellitus and hypertensive nephrosclerosis, accounting for over two-thirds of all cases. In many patients both diseases are associated with small- and large-vessel disease, commonly attributed to hypertension or accelerated atherosclerosis. Recent investigations, however, have suggested that renal large-vessel and microvascular disease may be independent contributors to progressive kidney failure. RECENT FINDINGS Although genes have not been definitely linked to renal vascular disease, population- and family-based epidemiology of kidney disease, segregation analysis of Pima and Caucasian families in which diabetic nephropathy is clustered, and the positional cloning of genes responsible for rare, familial glomerulosclerosis syndromes support the hypothesis that genes regulate the pathogenesis of renal disease. This review highlights developments in our current understanding of vasculopathy and its role in renal disease, and it summarizes evidence suggesting that genetic determinants for the vascular phenotype are associated with common causes of chronic renal failure. SUMMARY With the application of genomics and proteomics methodologies to drug discovery, the identification of renal susceptibility genes should identify new mechanisms of progressive renal disease pathogenesis and generate novel target molecules for the treatment of kidney disease.
