Abstract
Insulin cellular degradation was studied in cultured 18-day-old fetal rat hepatocytes in the presence and absence of insulin degradation inhibitors that decrease the glycogenic response to insulin. After cell incubation with 3 nM [125I]A14 or -B26 insulin, hormone degradation products associated with cells or present in the medium were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography. Within cells, four components containing intact [125I]A14 insulin A-chain and part of the B-chain (A1-A4, according to increasing retention times) were found together with two [125I]B26 insulin B-chain COOH-terminal fragments (B1 and B2). Medium degradation intermediates comprised B1 and B2 but not A1-A4. Cellular insulin fragments A3 and B2 exhibited a maximal transient accumulation after 2 min, whereas the others increased progressively to plateau after 10 min. Chloroquine inhibited the formation of A1, A2, and B1 by 70-80%, whereas that of A3, A4, and B2 was not significantly affected. N-ethylmaleimide and bacitracin, two inhibitors of insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE), decreased the formation of chloroquine-dependent cellular peptides. Thus cell-associated insulin degradation implied primarily two cleavages in B-chain near the COOH-terminus, the one sensitive to chloroquine and IDE inhibitors occurring after endosomal segregation of insulin and its receptor.

Abstract
Insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE) hydrolyzes insulin at a limited number of sites. Although the positions of these cleavages are known, the residues of insulin important in its binding to IDE have not been defined. To this end, we have studied the binding of a variety of insulin analogues to the protease in a solid-phase binding assay using immunoimmobilized IDE. Since IDE binds insulin with 600-fold greater affinity than it does insulin-like growth factor I (25 nM and approximately 16,000 nM, respectively), the first set of analogues studied were hybrid molecules of insulin and IGF I. IGF I mutants [insB1-17,17-70]IGF I, [Tyr55,Gln56]IGF I, and [Phe23,Phe24,Tyr25]IGF I have been synthesized and share the property of having insulin-like amino acids at positions corresponding to primary sites of cleavage of insulin by IDE. Whereas the first two exhibit affinities for IDE similar to that of wild type IGF I, the [Phe23,Phe24,Tyr25]IGF I analogue has a 32-fold greater affinity for the immobilized enzyme. Replacement of Phe-23 by Ser eliminates this increase. Removal of the eight amino acid D-chain region of IGF I (which has been predicted to interfere with binding to the 23-25 region) results in a 25-fold increase in affinity for IDE, confirming the importance of residues 23-25 in the high-affinity recognition of IDE. A similar role for the corresponding (B24-26) residues of insulin is supported by the use of site-directed mutant and semisynthetic insulin analogues. Insulin mutants [B25-Asp]insulin and [B25-His]insulin display 16- and 20-fold decreases in IDE affinity versus wild-type insulin.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The subcellular site where insulin is degraded by rat hepatocytes in vivo is controversial. While several potential insulin-degrading enzyme systems, each with its own characteristic cellular location, are known to exist in the liver, questions remain about which of them participates in the degradation of physiologic doses of insulin. These studies examine the proteases that degrade physiologic doses of [125I]-insulin in vivo to determine (1) when and where initial degradation occurs, and (2) which of the potential degradative enzymes is active. Following injection into the mesenteric veins of male rats, intact [125I]-insulin and its labeled degradation products were analysed by reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) of biopsy homogenates. [125I]-insulin was rapidly degraded in vivo; the t 1/2 of degradation was approximately 2.7 minutes. To test for extracellular protease activity, an isolated perfused liver system was employed. [125I]-insulin (or [125I]-glucagon) uptake was controlled by changing the temperature of the perfusion medium. Five minutes after [125I]-insulin injection, surface-bound label was recovered in an acidic (pH 3.5) wash. In perfusion at 15 degrees C, both the internalization and degradation of [125I]-insulin were inhibited; 7.2% of unbound hormone was degraded and 5.1% of surface-bound insulin was degraded. Only 11.4% of unbound insulin and 17.4% of surface-bound insulin were degraded at 35 degrees C. In contrast, 95.5% of unbound glucagon and 89.9% of surface-bound glucagon were degraded at 35 degrees C. Thus, although glucagon degradation occurs at the sinusoidal plasmalemma of perfused livers, the same membrane does not mediate the rapid degradation of insulin observed in vivo. Analysis of the RP-HPLC [125I]-insulin elution profiles from liver biopsy homogenates, and comparison of them to profiles produced by purified proteases, suggested that insulin protease is responsible for most hepatic degradation of physiologic doses of insulin. Some cathepsin D-like activity was also observed in vivo, confirming that two pathways exist for insulin metabolism. The time course over which insulin was degraded was more rapid than previous studies in vitro would have predicted. This suggests that more insulin was receptor-bound at the time of its initial degradation, and that the active protease was soluble and was introduced into endocytic peripheral endosomes within seconds after their formation.

Abstract
Biological activity and interference with insulin receptor complex fate of two modified sequences of insulin B21-B26, beta-Ala-Arg-Gly-Phe-Phe-Tyr-NH2 (DP-432) and beta-Ala-Arg-Pro-Phe-Phe-Tyr-NH2 (DP-640), were studied in cultured 18-day-old fetal rat hepatocytes known to respond to insulin by an acute stimulation of glycogenesis. The two derivatives stimulated [14C]glucose incorporation into glycogen in the absence of insulin independently of the deprivation of serum in the medium. The maximal effect of 3 mM DP-640 after 2 h, more pronounced than with 3 mM DP-432, was of the same order as that obtained with 10 nM insulin alone (stimulation index: 4.7 +/- 0.7, 2.5 +/- 0.2 and 3.6 +/- 0.9, n = 4, with DP-640, DP-432 and insulin, respectively) whereas insulin B-chain decreased glycogen labeling. Simultaneous addition of derivatives and insulin at maximal concentrations produced nearly additive effects. DP-640, as well as DP-432, increased the amount of [125I](A14) or (B26) human insulin associated with cells at 37 degrees C and inhibited intracellular insulin degradation with differences depending on the kind of insulin isomer and derivative, while the rapid insulin receptor cycle was not affected. Thus, the two derivatives specifically modified the cellular processing of insulin in cultured fetal hepatocytes, and exerted an insulin-like effect on glycogenesis clearly enhanced through modification of DP-432 by substitution of glycine for proline (DP-640).

Abstract
An Escherichia coli strain transfected with a plasmid containing four linked human proinsulin genes was grown in the presence of 35S and 3H labelled amino acids to gain access to human insulin that was radiolabelled at 19 evenly distributed sites throughout the amino acid sequence. The multi-proinsulin precursor was cleaved at methionine residues with cyanogen bromide, then the individual proinsulin units were folded via their S-cysteine sulfonate derivative and converted to insulin by enzymatic digestion. Purification steps were carried out by ion-exchange and reverse-phase HPLC techniques. The final radiolabelled biosynthetic human insulin was produced at a specific activity of up to 300 Ci/mmol, and was shown to be indistinguishable from commercially available human insulin according to HPLC behavior, amino acid analysis, immunoreactivity and biological activity. A comparison of the kinetics of processing of 35S/3H-labelled biosynthetic human insulin and 125I-labelled commercial human insulin by murine TA3 hybridoma antigen presenting cells demonstrated that radiolabelled biosynthetic insulin was processed approximately 16 times slower than its iodinated counterpart. Measurable 125I TCA soluble radioactivity was detected extracellularly within 15 min whereas the same amount of extracellular TCA soluble 3H/35S radioactivity was not seen until 240 min. These results begin to address the importance of using a biosynthetically labelled protein as opposed to an iodinated protein to study how an APC handles antigen in a physiological manner.

Abstract
Although insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE) has been implicated in the intracellular degradation of insulin, the cellular localization of this enzyme is still controversial. In the present study, we have examined the cellular localization of IDE in the rat liver by three different techniques using monoclonal antibodies. First, direct immunohistochemical staining of rat liver with one of the monoclonal antibodies revealed that IDE immunoreactivity mainly exists in parenchymal cells, especially in the vicinity of the portal tract and also in the epithelium of the bile duct under light microscopy. In the electron microscopic study, IDE immunoreactivity was found in the cytoplasm near the rough endoplasmic reticulum but not in the plasma membrane, nucleus, or mitochondria. Second, immunoblotting analysis of the subcellular fraction in rat liver showed that the monoclonal antibody specifically reacted with a single polypeptide in the cytosolic fraction, of apparent Mr 110,000, which was consistent with the Mr of IDE. However, a polypeptide band corresponding to IDE could not be observed in the plasma membrane, mitochondrial, or lysosomal fraction. Third, IDE was only detectable in the cytosolic fraction by sandwich radioimmunoassay using two monoclonal antibodies. These results all suggest that IDE is a cytosolic enzyme.

Abstract
In the investigation of the intracellular sites of insulin degradation, it might be important whether receptor-bound insulin could be a substrate for insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE). Insulin receptor and IDE were purified from rat liver using a wheat germ agglutinin column and monoclonal anti-IDE antibody affinity column, respectively. [125I]insulin-receptor complex was incubated with various amounts of IDE at 0 degree C in the presence of disuccinimidyl suberate and analyzed by reduced 7.5% SDS-PAGE and autoradiography. With increasing amounts of IDE, the radioactivity of 135 kd band (insulin receptor alpha-subunit) decreased, whereas that of 110 kd band (IDE) appeared then gradually increased, suggesting that IDE could bind to receptor-bound insulin. During incubation of insulin-receptor complex with IDE at 37 degrees C, about half of the [125I]insulin was dissociated from the complex. However, the time course of [125I]insulin degradation in this incubation was essentially identical to that of free [125I]insulin degradation. Cross-linked, non-dissociable receptor-bound [125I]insulin was also degraded by IDE. Rebinding studies to IM-9 cells showed that the receptor binding activity of dissociated [125I]insulin from insulin-receptor complex incubated with IDE was significantly (p less than 0.001) decreased as compared with that without the enzyme. These results, therefore, show that IDE could recognize and degrade receptor-bound insulin, and suggest that IDE may be involved in insulin metabolism during receptor-mediated endocytosis through the degradation of receptor-bound insulin in early neutral vesicles before their internal pH is acidified.

Abstract
An analogue of rat insulin I was produced by oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis of a cloned rat preproinsulin I cDNA, followed by expression of a resulting mutant gene in Escherichia coli K-12 and proteolytic cleavage of mutant proinsulin isolated from this bacterium. The Tyr-to-Asp replacement at residue B16 in the insulin analogue had been expected to diminish the rate of cleavage of the molecule by the enzyme insulin proteinase, since the bond TyrB16-LeuB17, invariant in all mammalian species, had been proposed by other authors as one of the early, major sites of proteolytic attack. In the event the substitution had no measurable effect on the rate of degradation by insulin proteinase. Thus we find no support in these experiments for the hypothesis that the site in question is of primary importance in the degradation of rat insulin I by the enzyme.

Abstract
The degradation of insulin by the enzyme insulin protease and by isolated hepatocytes results in proteolytic cleavages in both the A and B chains of intact insulin. Previous studies have shown that one of the A chain cleavages is between A13 leucine and A14 tyrosine and that a second cleavage occurs carboxyl to the A14 residue. In the present study we have used insulin specifically iodinated on the A19 tyrosine and examined the A chain cleavages by the enzyme and by hepatocytes. Insulin degradation products were purified by HPLC and sequenced by automated Edman degradation. Only two A chain cleavage sites were identified, one the previously reported A13-A14 and the other between A14 tyrosine and A15 glutamine. These data thus identify the second A chain cleavage site and further support the role of insulin protease in hepatic metabolism of insulin.

Abstract
When incubated in vitro, isolated rat liver low-density vesicles degrade endocytosed insulin intraluminally. The rate of intravesicular degradation suggests that this pathway contributes significantly to insulin degradation in vivo. The vesicles can be selectively disrupted with digitonin at concentrations that abolish the latency of NADH pyrophosphatase, with minimal effect on the cisternal Golgi marker, galactosyl transferase. The results suggest that latent NADH pyrophosphatase may act as a marker enzyme for the vesicles within which insulin is degraded. The possible role of insulin-glucagon protease, a candidate enzyme for insulin degradation by the liver, was investigated. The activity of latent insulin-glucagon protease associated with low-density vesicles is sufficient to account for the rate of intravesicular proteolysis. However, the rate of intravesicular proteolysis is insensitive to membrane-permeant thiol reagents under conditions which strongly inhibit insulin-glucagon protease. This shows that insulin-glucagon protease is not rate-limiting for insulin degradation by these vesicles, and is unlikely to be involved in the regulation of degradation. After disruption with Brij, internalized insulin remains associated with the membrane. Degradation is not inhibited by addition of excess unlabelled insulin to the medium, and occurs more rapidly than the degradation of an equal activity of iodo-insulin added to the disrupted membranes. This implies that degradation of endocytosed insulin occurs while it is still bound to the inner surface of the vesicles. When bacitracin is coinjected with iodo-insulin, it inhibits degradation of internalized insulin both by intact and Brij-disrupted vesicles, but not the degradation of added exogenous insulin, confirming that degradation is membrane-associated, and that it does not require the release of insulin into free solution.

Abstract
Significant differences were revealed in the mechanism of hyperglycemia in extensive wounds and generalized surgical infection. Hyperglycemia in extensive burn injuries is caused by the inhibition of insulin formation, decreased insulin binding to cellular receptors, which leads to decreased sensitivity of tissues to insulin. Hyperglycemia developing in generalized infection is a result of insufficient blood insulin levels consequent to inhibition of its secretion (while insulin biosynthesis is elevated) under the effects of hyperproduction of prostaglandins, and is also mediated by defects in insulin-receptor interaction. Correction of carbohydrate metabolism disorders in these surgical pathologies in spite of the different pathogenetic mechanisms might be achieved by exogenous insulin administration, and also by insulin administration together with indomethacin, a nonsteroid anti-inflammatory agent, inhibiting prostaglandin production.

Abstract
More than 90% of the radioactivity associated with isolated rat adipocytes incubated with [TyrA14-125I]monoiodoinsulin represented at steady state iodoinsulin possessing full binding affinity. In contrast, about half of the radioactivity dissociating from the cells was [125I]monoiodotyrosine. The other half was of a molecular size similar to that of iodoinsulin as judged from gel-filtration chromatography. However, the descending limb of the 'insulin' peak (i.e., the smaller molecules) possessed a reduced binding activity compared with native iodoinsulin, material from the ascending limb, or a similar fraction isolated from dissociation medium from IM-9 lymphocytes, a cell type devoid of receptor-mediated insulin degradation. The cells, thus, release an intermediary degradation product.

Abstract
The kinetic changes of insulin receptors and cell surface insulin degrading enzyme were examined in Bri-7 cultured human lymphocytes after preincubation with or without insulin. The concentration of cell surface insulin degrading enzyme was determined by immunoenzymatic labeling method using a polyclonal antiserum to insulin degrading enzyme. In Bri-7 cells preincubated with 10(-10) to 10(-5) mol/l insulin for 18 h, the surface insulin receptors and insulin degrading enzyme decreased progressively as a function of the concentration of insulin in the preincubation medium. The surface insulin receptors and insulin degrading enzyme of cells preincubated with 10(-6) mol/l insulin were decreased to 25 and 35% of the control respectively. In Bri-7 cells preincubated with 10(-6) mol/l insulin for 30 min to 18 h, the loss of surface insulin degrading enzyme was slightly slower than that of the receptors; however, the curves were essentially parallel to each other. Thus, the treatment of Bri-7 cells with insulin caused down-regulation of insulin receptors in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Cell surface insulin degrading enzyme also decreased simultaneously. A combination of several insulin degradation assays (trichloroacetic acid precipitation, gel filtration and receptor rebinding) demonstrated that cell surface bound insulin remained intact, and that the degradation in Bri-7 cells seemed to be a limiting proteolysis of insulin. Furthermore, by the receptor rebinding method insulin degrading activity in cells after preincubation with 10(-6) mol/l insulin (19.6 +/- 4.6%) was decreased, although not significantly, as compared with cells after preincubation without insulin (24.6 +/- 4.8%).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Processing of the insulin receptor by hepatocytes was studied using a 125I-labelled photoreactive insulin derivative which could be covalently attached to the receptor and facilitate the analysis of receptor structure in isolated subcellular fractions by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Following binding at the cell surface, the label was rapidly internalised and located in a low-density subcellular fraction ('endosomes'). The intact receptor (350 000 molecular weight) and binding (alpha) subunit (135 000), produced by in vitro disulphide reduction of the samples, were found in the plasma membrane fraction but not in endosomes. In endosomes, the label was concentrated in a band at 140 000 (non-reduced) which on reduction generated species of 100 000 and 68 000 predominantly. The insulin receptor therefore undergoes an early structural change during endocytosis. This modification does not involve complete disulphide reduction and may be due to a proteolytic event.

Abstract
We have used photoreactive insulin analogues to investigate as related processes, early structural modification of the receptor-bound insulin molecule and internalisation of the insulin-receptor complex. In isolated rat hepatocytes an initial modification of bound insulin leads to the generation of a molecular species unchanged in molecular weight but with reduced receptor and antibody binding affinities and altered electrophoretic mobility. Using photoreactive insulin analogues and density gradient cell fractionation the insulin receptor complex has been shown to undergo internalisation from the plasma membrane to a low density vesicular fraction, the endosome. No labelled material was found in lysosomal fractions after up to 10 min incubation at 37 degrees C. The degree of labelling of the endosome fraction depended on the position of the photoreactive group within the insulin molecule. The data suggest that before or during endocytosis, a small peptide is proteolytically cleaved from the C terminus of the insulin B chain.

Abstract
We studied insulin binding and glucose transport in isolated adult cardiomyocytes from rats with 2-wk streptozotocin-induced diabetes. At 37 degrees C, cells from diabetic rats bound less 125I-insulin and exhibited lower rates of 3-O-methylglucose transport than cells from control rats. In contrast, the amount of 125I-insulin bound to myocytes at 4 degrees C was the same in both groups. Preincubation of cells from both groups with 10-10,000 ng/ml insulin significantly increased their basal rates of glucose transport by approximately 40%. However, the augmented rates in diabetics were still approximately 36% lower than the corresponding insulin-stimulated rates in the controls. When the glucose transport data were expressed as percent maximal insulin effect and plotted as a function of the amount of insulin bound, the curves obtained from both diabetic and nondiabetic controls were superimposable. These data demonstrate that 1) heart cells from diabetic rats bind less insulin than from control rats under conditions in which they exhibit impaired glucose transport rates, 2) there is no apparent difference in total receptor number between the two groups, but internalization of intact insulin appears to be diminished in diabetes, 3) coupling exists between insulin binding and glucose transport in both groups, and 4) these impaired processes are completely reversed by insulin treatment in vivo but not in vitro.

Abstract
Degradation of [125I]iodoinsulin by cytosol from rat liver (as judged by the appearance of perchloric acid soluble counts) occurs rapidly and generates both high- and low-molecular-weight labelled products on chromatography on AcA54 or AcA202. One of the low-molecular-weight products can be converted to a high-molecular-weight product by further incubation with fresh cytosol. Degradation is not inhibited by chloroquine, but is affected by bacitracin. In the presence of bacitracin most of the radioactivity elutes in the void volume and possibly represents interaction of undegraded insulin with other cytoplasmic components.

Abstract
A human insulin degrading enzyme purified from IM-9 lymphocytes was tested for its ability to degrade insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) and insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II). Degradation of these molecules was assessed by trichloroacetic acid precipitation, binding to specific receptors and chromatography on Sephadex G-50. All three techniques indicated that the enzyme readily degraded IGF-II and slightly degraded IGF-I. The IGF-II degrading activity chromatofocused with the insulin degrading activity and was absorbed by specific antibodies to the insulin degrading enzyme. These studies indicate, therefore, that a human insulin degrading enzyme can degrade IGF-II and, to a lesser extent, IGF-I.
