Glucose-6-phosphatase catalytic subunit 2 negatively regulates glucose oxidation and insulin secretion in pancreatic β-cells. J Biol Chem 2022; 298:101729. [PMID: 35176280 PMCID: PMC8941207 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbc.2022.101729] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2021] [Revised: 02/11/2022] [Accepted: 02/12/2022] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Elevated fasting blood glucose (FBG) is associated with increased risks of developing type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular-associated mortality. G6PC2 is predominantly expressed in islets, encodes a glucose-6-phosphatase catalytic subunit that converts glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) to glucose, and has been linked with variations in FBG in genome-wide association studies. Deletion of G6pc2 in mice has been shown to lower FBG without affecting fasting plasma insulin levels in vivo. At 5 mM glucose, pancreatic islets from G6pc2 knockout (KO) mice exhibit no glucose cycling, increased glycolytic flux, and enhanced glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS). However, the broader effects of G6pc2 KO on β-cell metabolism and redox regulation are unknown. Here we used CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing and metabolic flux analysis in βTC3 cells, a murine pancreatic β-cell line, to examine the role of G6pc2 in regulating glycolytic and mitochondrial fluxes. We found that deletion of G6pc2 led to ∼60% increases in glycolytic and citric acid cycle (CAC) fluxes at both 5 and 11 mM glucose concentrations. Furthermore, intracellular insulin content and GSIS were enhanced by approximately two-fold, along with increased cytosolic redox potential and reductive carboxylation flux. Normalization of fluxes relative to net glucose uptake revealed upregulation in two NADPH-producing pathways in the CAC. These results demonstrate that G6pc2 regulates GSIS by modulating not only glycolysis but also, independently, citric acid cycle activity in β-cells. Overall, our findings implicate G6PC2 as a potential therapeutic target for enhancing insulin secretion and lowering FBG, which could benefit individuals with prediabetes, T2D, and obesity.

Abstract
Robust biological systems are able to adapt to internal and environmental perturbations. This is ensured by a thick crosstalk between metabolism and signal transduction pathways, through which cell cycle progression, cell metabolism and growth are coordinated. Although several reports describe the control of cell signaling on metabolism (mainly through transcriptional regulation and post-translational modifications), much fewer information is available on the role of metabolism in the regulation of signal transduction. Protein-metabolite interactions (PMIs) result in the modification of the protein activity due to a conformational change associated with the binding of a small molecule. An increasing amount of evidences highlight the role of metabolites of the central metabolism in the control of the activity of key signaling proteins in different eukaryotic systems. Here we review the known PMIs between primary metabolites and proteins, through which metabolism affects signal transduction pathways controlled by the conserved kinases Snf1/AMPK, Ras/PKA and TORC1. Interestingly, PMIs influence also the mitochondrial retrograde response (RTG) and calcium signaling, clearly demonstrating that the range of this phenomenon is not limited to signaling pathways related to metabolism.

Abstract
Pyridine nucleotides serve an array of intracellular metabolic functions such as, to name a few, shuttling electrons in enzymatic reactions, safeguarding the redox state against reactive oxygen species, cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzyme detoxification pathways and, relevant to this study, the regulation of ion fluxes. In particular, the maintenance of a steep calcium gradient between the cytosol and endoplasmic reticulum (ER), without which apoptosis ensues, is achieved by an elaborate combination of energy–requiring ER membrane pumps and efflux channels. In liver microsomes, net calcium uptake was inhibited by physiological concentrations of NADP. In the presence of 1 mmol/L NADP, calcium uptake was attenuated by nearly 80%, additionally, this inhibitory effect was blunted by concomitant addition of NADPH. No other nicotinamide containing compounds ‐save a slight inhibition by NAADP‐hindered calcium uptake; thus, only oxidized pyridine nucleotides, or related compounds with a phosphate moiety, had an imposing effect. Moreover, the NADP inhibition was evident even after selectively blocking ER calcium efflux channels. Given the fundamental role of endoplasmic calcium homeostasis, it is plausible that changes in cytosolic NADP concentration, for example, during anabolic processes, could regulate net ER calcium uptake.

Abstract
Preserving β-cell function during the development of obesity and insulin resistance would limit the worldwide epidemic of type 2 diabetes. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) calcium (Ca(2+)) depletion induced by saturated free fatty acids and cytokines causes β-cell ER stress and apoptosis, but the molecular mechanisms behind these phenomena are still poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that palmitate-induced sorcin downregulation and subsequent increases in glucose-6-phosphatase catalytic subunit-2 (G6PC2) levels contribute to lipotoxicity. Sorcin is a calcium sensor protein involved in maintaining ER Ca(2+) by inhibiting ryanodine receptor activity and playing a role in terminating Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+) release. G6PC2, a genome-wide association study gene associated with fasting blood glucose, is a negative regulator of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS). High-fat feeding in mice and chronic exposure of human islets to palmitate decreases endogenous sorcin expression while levels of G6PC2 mRNA increase. Sorcin-null mice are glucose intolerant, with markedly impaired GSIS and increased expression of G6pc2 Under high-fat diet, mice overexpressing sorcin in the β-cell display improved glucose tolerance, fasting blood glucose, and GSIS, whereas G6PC2 levels are decreased and cytosolic and ER Ca(2+) are increased in transgenic islets. Sorcin may thus provide a target for intervention in type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have shown that single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in G6PC2 are the most important common determinants of variations in fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels. Molecular studies examining the functional impact of these SNPs on G6PC2 gene transcription and splicing suggest that they affect FBG by directly modulating G6PC2 expression. This conclusion is supported by studies on G6pc2 knockout (KO) mice showing that G6pc2 represents a negative regulator of basal glucose-stimulated insulin secretion that acts by hydrolyzing glucose-6-phosphate, thereby reducing glycolytic flux and opposing the action of glucokinase. Suppression of G6PC2 activity might, therefore, represent a novel therapy for lowering FBG and the risk of cardiovascular-associated mortality. GWAS and G6pc2 KO mouse studies also suggest that G6PC2 affects other aspects of beta cell function. The evolutionary benefit conferred by G6PC2 remains unclear, but it is unlikely to be related to its ability to modulate FBG.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hydrolysis of glucose 6-phosphate (G6P) via glucose 6-phosphatase (G6Pase) enlarges the reticular Ca(2+) pool of the hepatocyte. Exposure of liver cells to ethanol (EtOH) impairs reticular Ca(2+) homeostasis. The present study investigated the effect of acute EtOH administration on G6P-supported Ca(2+) accumulation in liver cells. METHODS Total microsomes were isolated from rat livers acutely perfused with varying doses of EtOH (0.01, 0.1, or 1% v/v) for 8 minutes. Calcium uptake was assessed by (45) Ca redistribution. Inorganic phosphate (Pi) formation was measured as an indicator of G6Pase hydrolytic activity. RESULTS G6P-supported Ca(2+) uptake decreased in a manner directly proportional to the dose of EtOH infused in the liver, whereas Ca(2+) uptake via SERCA pumps was decreased by ~25% only at the highest dose of alcohol administered. The reduced accumulation of Ca(2+) within the microsomes resulted in a smaller inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3))-induced Ca(2+) release. Kinetic assessment of IP(3) and passive Ca(2+) release indicated a faster mobilization in microsomes from EtOH-treated livers, suggesting alcohol-induced alteration of Ca(2+) releasing mechanisms. Pretreatment of livers with chloromethiazole (CMZ) or dithiothreitol (DTT), but not 4-methyl-pyrazole prevented the inhibitory effect of EtOH on G6Pase activity and Ca(2+) homeostasis. CONCLUSIONS Liver G6Pase activity and IP(3) -mediated Ca(2+) release are rapidly inhibited following acute (8 minutes) exposure to EtOH, thus compromising the ability of the endoplasmic reticulum to dynamically modulate Ca(2+) homeostasis in the hepatocyte. The protective effect of CMZ and DTT suggests that the inhibitory effect of EtOH is mediated through its metabolism via reticular cyP4502E1 and consequent free radicals formation.

Abstract
Studies involving pharmacologic or molecular biologic manipulation of Group VIA phospholipase A(2) (iPLA(2)beta) activity in pancreatic islets and insulinoma cells suggest that iPLA(2)beta participates in insulin secretion. It has also been suggested that iPLA(2)beta is a housekeeping enzyme that regulates cell 2-lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) levels and arachidonate incorporation into phosphatidylcholine (PC). We have generated iPLA(2)beta-null mice by homologous recombination and have reported that they exhibit reduced male fertility and defective motility of spermatozoa. Here we report that pancreatic islets from iPLA(2)beta-null mice have impaired insulin secretory responses to D-glucose and forskolin. Electrospray ionization mass spectrometric analyses indicate that the abundance of arachidonate-containing PC species of islets, brain, and other tissues from iPLA(2)beta-null mice is virtually identical to that of wild-type mice, and no iPLA(2)beta mRNA was observed in any tissue from iPLA(2)beta-null mice at any age. Despite the insulin secretory abnormalities of isolated islets, fasting and fed blood glucose concentrations of iPLA(2)beta-null and wild-type mice are essentially identical under normal circumstances, but iPLA(2)beta-null mice develop more severe hyperglycemia than wild-type mice after administration of multiple low doses of the beta-cell toxin streptozotocin, suggesting an impaired islet secretory reserve. A high fat diet also induces more severe glucose intolerance in iPLA(2)beta-null mice than in wild-type mice, but PLA(2)beta-null mice have greater responsiveness to exogenous insulin than do wild-type mice fed a high fat diet. These and previous findings thus indicate that iPLA(2)beta-null mice exhibit phenotypic abnormalities in pancreatic islets in addition to testes and macrophages.

Abstract
Studies involving pharmacologic inhibition or transient reduction of Group VIA phospholipase A2 (iPLA2beta) expression have suggested that it is a housekeeping enzyme that regulates cell 2-lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) levels, rates of arachidonate incorporation into phospholipids, and degradation of excess phosphatidylcholine (PC). In insulin-secreting islet beta-cells and some other cells, in contrast, iPLA2beta signaling functions have been proposed. Using retroviral vectors, we prepared clonal INS-1 beta-cell lines in which iPLA2beta expression is stably suppressed by small interfering RNA. Two such iPLA2beta knockdown (iPLA2beta-KD) cell lines express less than 20% of the iPLA2beta of control INS-1 cell lines. The iPLA2beta-KD INS-1 cells exhibit impaired insulin secretory responses and reduced proliferation rates. Electrospray ionization mass spectrometric analyses of PC and LPC species that accumulate in INS-1 cells cultured with arachidonic acid suggest that 18:0/20:4-glycerophosphocholine (GPC) synthesis involves sn-2 remodeling to yield 16:0/20:4-GPC and then sn-1 remodeling via a 1-lyso/20:4-GPC intermediate. Electrospray ionization mass spectrometric analyses also indicate that the PC and LPC content and composition of iPLA2beta-KD and control INS-1 cells are nearly identical, as are the rates of arachidonate incorporation into PC and the composition and remodeling of other phospholipid classes. These findings indicate that iPLA2beta plays signaling or effector roles in beta-cell secretion and proliferation but that stable suppression of its expression does not affect beta-cell GPC lipid content or composition even under conditions in which LPC is being actively consumed by conversion to PC. This calls into question the generality of proposed housekeeping functions for iPLA2beta in PC homeostasis and remodeling.

Abstract
The Drosophila Btk29A tyrosine kinase is suggested to be involved in diverse processes, although its target proteins are unknown. In the present study, we investigated substrates of Btk29A tyrosine kinase by expressing a catalytically activated form of Btk29A-P1 (Btk-EG) in Drosophila compound eyes. Expression in eye disks led to the development of the rough-eye phenotype and increased tyrosine phosphorylation of a 65-kDa protein. Partial amino acid sequence analysis of this protein showed that it was phosphoglucomutase. Phosphoglucomutase activity in heads from Btk-EG-expressing flies was higher than that in controls, suggesting that the levels of tyrosine phosphorylation and activity of the enzyme are associated with Btk29A tyrosine kinase activity.

Abstract
Free Ca(2+) was measured in organelles of individual mouse pancreatic beta cells loaded with the low affinity indicator furaptra. After removal of cytoplasmic indicator by controlled digitonin permeabilization the organelle Ca(2+) was located essentially in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), >90% being sensitive to inhibition of sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPases. The Ca(2+) accumulation in the ER of intact beta cells depended in a hyperbolic fashion on the glucose concentration with half-maximal and maximal filling at 5.5 and >20 mM, respectively. Also elevation of cytoplasmic Ca(2+) by K(+) depolarization significantly enhanced the Ca(2+) accumulation. In permeabilized beta cells 1-3 mM ATP caused rapid Ca(2+) filling of the ER reaching almost 500 microM. At 50 nM, Ca(2+) ER became half-maximally filled at 45 microM ATP, whereas only 3.5 microM ATP was required at 200 nM Ca(2+). Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate induced a rapid release of about 65% of the ER Ca(2+), and its precursor phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate was found to slowly mobilize 75% by another mechanism. It is concluded that glucose is an efficient stimulator of Ca(2+) uptake in the ER of pancreatic beta cells both by increasing ATP and cytoplasmic Ca(2+). Because physiological concentrations of cytoplasmic ATP are in the mM range, Ca(2+) sequestration can be anticipated to be modulated by factors reducing its ATP sensitivity.

Abstract
The mammalian anx7 gene codes for a Ca(2+)-activated GTPase, which supports Ca(2+)/GTP-dependent secretion events and Ca(2+) channel activities in vitro and in vivo. To test whether anx7 might be involved in Ca(2+) signaling in secreting pancreatic beta cells, we knocked out the anx7 gene in the mouse and tested the insulin-secretory properties of the beta cells. The nullizygous anx7 (-/-) phenotype is lethal at embryonic day 10 because of cerebral hemorrhage. However, the heterozygous anx7 (+/-) mouse, although expressing only low levels of ANX7 protein, is viable and fertile. The anx7 (+/-) phenotype is associated with a substantial defect in insulin secretion, although the insulin content of the islets, is 8- to 10-fold higher in the mutants than in the normal littermate control. We infer from electrophysiological studies that both glucose-stimulated secretion and voltage-dependent Ca(2+) channel functions are normal. However, electrooptical recordings indicate that the (+/-) mutation has caused a change in the ability of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3))-generating agonists to release intracellular calcium. The principle molecular consequence of lower anx7 expression is a profound reduction in IP(3) receptor expression and function in pancreatic islets. The profound increase in islets, beta cell number, and size may be a means of compensating for less efficient insulin secretion by individual defective pancreatic beta cells. This is a direct demonstration of a connection between glucose-activated insulin secretion and Ca(2+) signaling through IP(3)-sensitive Ca(2+) stores.

Abstract
Neutrophils from patients suffering from glycogen storage disease type Ib (GSD-Ib) show several defects. one of which is a decreased rate of glucose utilization. In this study, we established experimental conditions to show the stimulation of the neutrophil respiratory burst by extracellular glucose. With phorbol-myristate-acetate as stimulus of the burst, the activity of the NADPH oxidase in GSD-Ib neutrophils hardly increased on addition of glucose. In control and GSD-type Ia neutrophils, a clear increase was observed. The lack of response to extracellular glucose in GSD-Ib neutrophils is correlated with the inability to raise intracellular glucose-6-P levels on glucose addition, thereby limiting the activity of the generation of NADPH in the hexose-monophosphate shunt. Our study shows the usefulness of this test for the diagnosis of neutrophil function abnormality in GSD-Ib patients.

Abstract
The precise regulation of the Ca2+ concentration in the endoplasmic reticulum ([Ca2+]er) is important for protein processing and signal transduction. In the pancreatic beta-cell, dysregulation of [Ca2+]er may cause impaired insulin secretion. The Ca2+-sensitive photoprotein aequorin mutated to lower its Ca2+ affinity was stably expressed in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of rat insulinoma INS-1 cells. The steady state [Ca2+]er was 267 +/- 9 microM. Both the Ca2+-ATPase inhibitor cyclopiazonic acid and 4-chloro-m-cresol, an activator of ryanodine receptors, caused an almost complete emptying of ER Ca2+. The inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate generating agonists, carbachol, and ATP, reduced [Ca2+]er by 20-25%. Insulin secretagogues that raise cytosolic [Ca2+] by membrane depolarization increased [Ca2+]er in the potency order K+ >> glucose > leucine, paralleling their actions in the cytosolic compartment. Glucose, which augmented [Ca2+]er by about 25%, potentiated the Ca2+-mobilizing effect of carbachol, explaining the corresponding observation in cytosolic [Ca2+]. The filling of ER Ca2+ by glucose is not directly mediated by ATP production as shown by the continuous monitoring of cytosolic ATP in luciferase expressing cells. Both glucose and K+ increase [Ca2+]er, but only the former generated whereas the latter consumed ATP. Nonetheless, drastic lowering of cellular ATP with a mitochondrial uncoupler resulted in a marked decrease in [Ca2+]er, emphasizing the requirement for mitochondrially derived ATP above a critical threshold concentration. Using alpha-toxin permeabilized cells in the presence of ATP, glucose 6-phosphate did not change [Ca2+]er, invalidating the hypothesis that glucose acts through this metabolite. Therefore, insulin secretagogues that primarily stimulate Ca2+ influx, elevate [Ca2+]er to ensure beta-cell homeostasis.

Abstract
In the pathways modulating the secretion of insulin and other physiologically important molecules, the critical role played by calcium in the moment-to-moment regulation of secretory processes may be modulated by additional factors, and these factors may include the glycolytic metabolites. We studied these early glucose breakdown products for effects on calcium release and inositol 1,4, 5-trisphosphate (IP3) binding to the IP3 receptor in a pancreatic beta cell preparation. The physiological significance of the response was also examined in terms of the insulinotropic effects of these metabolites. In studies of calcium release from the pancreatic beta cell, the metabolite 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate (DPG) exerted a statistically significant stimulatory effect on calcium release. A lesser but nonetheless significant effect also occurred in the presence of 3-phosphoglycerate and glucose-6-phosphate. The DPG-induced effect was concentration dependent. It is likely that the effects of DPG and other glycolytic metabolites on pancreatic beta cell signaling are physiologically significant inasmuch as we were also able to demonstrate that DPG and other glycolytic metabolites promoted the release of insulin from the pancreatic beta cell.

Abstract
Hexokinase in mammalian brain is particulate and usually considered to be bound to the outer mitochondrial membrane. Investigation of rabbit brain mitochondria prepared either by differential centrifugation and discontinuous density gradient centrifugation has provided evidence that this particulate fraction also contains endoplasmic vesicles and synaptosomes. Solubilization of the bound hexokinase by different combinations of detergents and metabolites has proved the existence of different hexokinase binding sites. Electron microscopic examination of hexokinase location by immuno-gold labelling techniques confirmed that hexokinase is indeed predominantly bound to mitochondria but that a significant proportion is also bound to non-mitochondrial membranes. Attempts to quantify this distribution were unsuccessful since different figures were obtained using anti-hexokinase IgG affinity purified on immobilized native or denatured hexokinase. Binding studies of the purified rabbit brain mitochondrial hexokinase to rabbit liver mitochondria and microsomes confirmed that in addition to a binding site on mitochondria there is another binding site on microsomes. The N-terminal sequence of hexokinase has been shown to be important for mitochondria binding and also for microsome binding. These results suggest that the intracellular localization of hexokinase in rabbit brain is not exclusively mitochondrial and that the metabolic role of this enzyme should be reconsidered by including a binding site on the endoplasmic reticulum.

Abstract
Patients with glycogen storage disease (GSD) type 1b, in contrast to patients with GSD 1a, are susceptible to recurrent bacterial infections suggesting defective phagocytic function. We have demonstrated a selective defect in respiratory burst activity but not in degranulation by phagocytic cells in GSD 1b but not in GSD 1a. The respiratory burst abnormality in phagocytic cells from GSD 1b patients was associated with impaired calcium mobilization, whereas these processes were normal in GSD 1a patients. Therefore, the alteration in calcium mobilization was an indication of a signalling defect in phagocytic cells from GSD 1b. However, calcium mobilization was normal in lymphocytes, indicating that defective calcium mobilization was not a global finding in circulating leukocytes, but was specific to phagocytic cells. Calcium mobilization in response to ionomycin was reduced suggesting decreased calcium stores in GSD 1b neutrophils. Therefore, altered phagocytic cell function in GSD 1b patients appears to be associated with diminished calcium mobilization and defective calcium stores. This defective calcium signalling was associated with a selective defect in respiratory burst activity but not degranulation.

Abstract
The subcellular distribution of 45Ca2+ accumulated by isolated rat hepatocytes exposed to dibutyryl cyclic AMP (dbcAMP) followed by vasopressin (Vp) was studied by means of a nondisruptive technique. When treated with dbcAMP followed by vasopressin, hepatocytes obtained from fed rats accumulated an amount of Ca2+ approximately fivefold higher than that attained under control conditions. Ca2+ released from the mitochondrial compartment by the uncoupler carbonyl cyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone (FCCP) accounted for only a minor portion of the accumulated Ca2+. The largest portion was released by the Ca2+ ionophore A23187 and was attributable to a nonmitochondrial compartment. DbcAMP + Vp-treatment also caused a maximal stimulation of glucose production and a twofold increase in cellular glucose 6-phosphate levels. In hepatocytes obtained from fasted rats, dbcAMP + Vp-stimulated Ca2+ accumulation was lower, although with the same subcellular distribution, and was associated with a minimal glucose production. In the presence of gluconeogenetic substrates (lactate plus pyruvate) hepatocytes from fasted rats were comparable to cells isolated from fed animals. However, Ca2+ accumulation and glucose 6-phosphate production could be dissociated in the absence of dbcAMP, in the presence of lactate/pyruvate alone. Under this condition in fact Vp induced only a minimal accumulation of Ca2+ in hepatocytes isolated from fasted rats, although glucose production was markedly increased. Moreover, treatment of fed rat hepatocytes with 1 mM ATP caused a maximal activation of glycogenolysis, but only a moderate stimulation of cellular Ca2+ accumulation. In this case, sequestration of Ca2+ occurred mainly in the mitochondrial compartment. By contrast, the addition of ATP to dbcAMP-pretreated hepatocytes induced a large accumulation of Ca2+ in a nonmitochondrial pool. Additional experiments using the fluorescent Ca2+ indicator Fura-2 showed that dbcAMP pretreatment can enlarge and prolong the elevation of cytosolic free Ca2+ caused by Vp. A nonmitochondrial Ca2+ pool thus appears mainly responsible for the Ca2+ accumulation stimulated by dbcAMP and Vp in isolated hepatocytes, and cyclic AMP seems able to activate Ca2+ uptake in such a nonmitochondrial pool.

Abstract
The aim of this review is to summarize the various systems that remove Ca2+ from the cytoplasm. We will initially focus on the Ca2+ pump and the Na(+)-Ca2+ exchanger of the plasma membrane. We will review the functional regulation of these systems and the recent progress obtained with molecular-biology techniques, which pointed to the existence of different isoforms of the Ca2+ pump. The Ca2+ pumps of the sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum will be discussed next, by summarizing the discoveries obtained with molecular-biology techniques, and by reviewing the physiological regulation of these proteins. We will finally briefly review the mitochondrial Ca(2+)-uptake mechanism.

Abstract
(1) The features of MgATP-dependent Ca2+ accumulation under stimulation with glucose 6-phosphate were studied in rat kidney microsomes. (2) Ca2+ accumulated in the presence of MgATP alone does not exceed approx. 2 nmol/mg protein. (3) Glucose 6-phosphate markedly stimulates Ca2+ accumulation, up to steady-state levels approx. 15-fold higher than in its absence. (4) The hydrolysis of glucose 6-phosphate by glucose-6-phosphatase is essential for the stimulation, as shown by inhibiting the glucose 6-phosphate hydrolysis with adequate concentrations of vanadate. Inorganic phosphate is accumulated in microsomal vesicles during glucose 6-phosphate-stimulated Ca2+ uptake in equimolar amounts with respects to Ca2+. (5) Increasing concentrations of glucose 6-phosphate result in increasing stimulations of Ca2+ uptake, until a maximal Ca2(+)-loading capacity of approx. 27 nmol/mg microsomal protein is reached. It is suggested that the enlargement of the kidney microsomal Ca2+ pool induced by glucose 6-phosphate (an important metabolite in kidney) might play a role in the regulation of Ca2+ homeostasis in kidney tubular cells.

Abstract
Insulin secretion from beta cells of the islets of Langerhans in the endocrine pancreas is regulated by glucose, glucose metabolites, metabolic intermediates such as ATP, acetyl CoA and reduced pyridine nucleotides, and classical second messengers. Receptor responses transduced by guanine nucleotide binding proteins modulate metabolic activity, the generation of second messengers, and cell depolarization during stimulus-response coupling in the beta cell. This review will consider insulin secretion as regulated by glucose metabolic pathways and second messengers.

Abstract
Previously, we have shown that Ca2+ mobilization following an alpha 1-adrenergic receptor stimulus is reduced in parotid acinar cells from senescent rats as a result of an altered ability of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) to induce Ca2+ release from a non-mitochondrial, intracellular Ca2+ store (Ishikawa, Y., et al. Biochim. Biophys. Acta 968, 203-210). We have used this model to examine the IP3-induced Ca2+ release mechanism in these cells. 45Ca2+ efflux, after exposure to (-) epinephrine, from cells of young adult (3-6 months) rats was approx. 2-fold that observed from cells from older animals (approx. 24 months) either in the presence or absence of extracellular Ca2+. Similarly, cytosolic Ca2+ levels were greater in cells of young adult rats under these same incubation conditions. However, microsomal membrane preparations, from both age groups displayed similar IP3 binding sites (Kd approximately 90 nM, Bmax approximately 850 fmol/mg protein) and ATP-dependent Ca2+ transport ability (approx. 8 nmol/mg protein.min -1). These data suggest that there is an alteration in the IP3-induced Ca2+ release mechanism in microsomal membranes of parotid glands from senescent rats which may account for the decreased Ca2+ release seen after agonist stimulation of this tissue.

Abstract
Some features of the MgATP-dependent Ca2+-accumulating capacity of rough as compared to smooth liver microsomal fraction were studied. Smooth microsomes accumulate somewhat higher amounts of Ca2+ than rough ones in the presence of MgATP. In the presence of glucose 6-phosphate, which markedly stimulates MgATP-dependent Ca2+ accumulation in both fractions, smooth microsomes exhibit a much higher Ca2+-accumulating capacity than rough ones. Possible reasons of the differences observed between the two fractions were investigated. Smooth microsomes exhibit a higher Ca2+-dependent ATPase activity, suggesting a higher Ca2+ inward transport into smooth vesicles. Also, following the inhibition of active Ca2+ transport by means of vanadate, smooth microsomes appear to release the Ca2+ previously accumulated--both in the absence (i.e., with MgATP only) and in the presence of glucose 6-phosphate--at a lower rate than rough ones. This indicates a lower passive backflux of Ca2+ accumulated in smooth vesicles. On the basis of these data, differences can be envisaged with respect to cellular Ca2+ handling by different domains of endoplasmic reticulum in the liver.

Abstract
Pancreatic islets detect glucose level by phosphorylating it and converting the glycolytic rate to a signal to secrete insulin. Insulin secretion is greater from the alpha- than from the beta-anomer when the D-glucose level is below 22 mM. D-mannose behaves similarly but at nearly twofold higher concentrations. Two explanations have been proposed: 1) glucokinase, which has the same anomeric preference, is the principal hexose phosphorylating enzyme and limits glycolytic rate. 2) Phosphofructokinase limits glycolysis and hexokinase is the principal enzyme phosphorylating hexose; hexosediphosphate activators of phosphofructokinase are more readily synthesized from alpha-anomers of hexose phosphates. We have simulated both alternatives with a detailed anomerically specific model of the hexose-metabolizing glycolytic enzymes. The pathway preference for alpha-anomer of both hexoses was adequately reproduced with anomerically active limiting glucokinase. The other mechanism did not reproduce the observed pathway preference.

Porcine liver beta-D-glucose dehydrogenase, a multi-functional protein, has been purified to apparent homogeneity. The enzyme has been separated from the endoplasmic reticulum using Triton X-114 and further purified using NAD to release glucose dehydrogenase from a NADP-linked sepharose column. The purified enzyme is capable of producing both NADH and NADPH in vivo as indicated by kinetic studies.

Abstract
The hepatic glucose-6-phosphatase system was studied with a novel microanalytical technique in adult patients undergoing liver biopsy. 4 patients were diagnosed as having type 1 glycogen storage disease (GSD). 3 of these patients, who had hypoglycaemic symptoms, had variations of type 1a GSD, which is caused by a defect in the hepatic microsomal glucose-6-phosphatase enzyme. The fourth, with hepatomegaly and no hypoglycaemic symptoms, had a normal glucose-6-phosphatase enzyme but a defect in the hepatic microsomal phosphate/pyrophosphate translocase T2; this is the first report of an adult with type 1c GSD. Adult type 1 GSD should be considered in patients with unresolved hypoglycaemic symptoms and/or unresolved hepatomegaly.
