Abstract
In diabetes mellitus, death of β cell in the pancreas occurs throughout the development of the disease, with loss of insulin production. The maintenance of β cell number is essential to maintaining normoglycemia. SNAPIN has been found to regulate insulin secretion, but whether it induces β cell proliferation remains to be elucidated. This study aimed to explore the physiological roles of SNAPIN in β cell proliferation. SNAPIN expression increases with the age of mice and SNAPIN is down-regulated in diabetes. KEGG pathway and GO analysis showed that SNAPIN- interacting proteins were enriched in cell cycle regulation. B cell cycle was arrested in the S phase, and cell proliferation was inhibited after SNAPIN knockdown. The expression of CDK2, CDK4 and CCND1 proteins in the S phase of the cell cycle were reduced after SNAPIN knockdown, whereas they were increased after overexpression of SNAPIN. In addition, insulin protein and mRNA levels also increased or decreased after SNAPIN knockdown or overexpression, respectively. Conclusions: Our data indicate that SNAPIN mediates β cells proliferation and insulin secretion, and provide evidences that SNAPIN might be a pharmacotherapeutic target for diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
Approximately 90% of all cases of diabetes mellitus in adults involve type 2 diabetes, while the prevalence of maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) remains undetermined leading to inappropriate treatment regimens. One of the most common monogenic forms of diabetes is a disease caused by a mutation in the glucokinase gene, MODY2. Knowledge of the clinical features of the disease allows the selection of patients with a high risk of mutation in the glucokinase gene and verification of diagnosis for molecular genetic research. This paper reflects the clinical features of MODY2 and the difficulties of diagnosis in adults. Furthermore, it presents a clinical case of a patient with MODY2 demonstrating all the features of this type of diabetes. A family member with a mutation in the gene allows to predict the nature of carbohydrate metabolism disorders in first degree relatives. A targeted study of only one part of the glucokinase gene in molecular genetic research is sufficient to confirm the diagnosis in relatives.

Abstract
Hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia subtype glucokinase (GCK-HH) is caused by an activating mutation in glucokinase (GCK) and has been shown to increase β-cell death. However, the mechanism of β-cell death in GCK-HH remains poorly understood. Here, we expressed the GCK-HH V91L GCK mutant in INS-1 832/13 cells to determine the effect of the mutation on β-cell viability and the mechanisms of β-cell death. We showed that expression of the V91L GCK mutant in INS-1 832/13 cells resulted in a rapid glucose concentration-dependent loss of cell viability. At 11 mM D-glucose, INS-1 832/13 cells expressing V91L GCK showed increased cell permeability without significant increases in Annexin V staining or caspase 3/7 activation, indicating that these cells are primarily undergoing cell death via necrosis. Over-expression of SV40 large T antigen, which inhibits the p53 pathway, did not affect the V91L GCK-induced cell death. We also found that non-phosphorylatable L-glucose did not induce rapid cell death. Of note, glucose phosphorylation coincided with a 90% loss of intracellular ATP content. Thus, our data suggest that the GCK V91L mutant induces rapid necrosis in INS-1 cells through accelerated glucose phosphorylation, ATP depletion, and increased cell permeability. V91L glucokinase mutant induces glucose-dependent death in rat INS-1 832/13 cells. Glucose induces necrosis in INS-1 832/13 cells expressing V91L glucokinase mutant. V91L glucokinase mutant depletes adenosine triphosphate in INS-1 832/13 cells.

Abstract
High-fat diet (HFD)-fed mouse models have been widely used to study early type 2 diabetes. Decreased β-cell glucokinase (GCK) expression has been observed in HFD-induced diabetes. However, owing to its crucial roles in glucose metabolism in the liver and in islet β-cells, the contribution of decreased GCK expression to the development of HFD-induced diabetes is unclear. Here, we employed a β-cell-targeted gene transfer vector and determined the impact of β-cell-specific increase in GCK expression on β-cell function and glucose handling in vitro and in vivo Overexpression of GCK enhanced glycolytic flux, ATP-sensitive potassium channel activation and membrane depolarization, and increased proliferation in Min6 cells. β-cell-targeted GCK transduction did not change glucose handling in chow-fed C57BL/6 mice. Although adult mice fed a HFD showed reduced islet GCK expression, impaired glucose tolerance and decreased glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS), β-cell-targeted GCK transduction improved glucose tolerance and restored GSIS. Islet perifusion experiments verified restored GSIS in isolated HFD islets by GCK transduction. Thus, our data identify impaired β-cell GCK expression as an underlying mechanism for dysregulated β-cell function and glycemic control in HFD-induced diabetes. Our data also imply an etiological role of GCK in diet-induced diabetes.This article has an associated First Person interview with the first author of the paper.
