Unraveling the significance of PPP1R1A gene in pancreatic β-cell function: A study in INS-1 cells and human pancreatic islets. Life Sci 2024; 345:122608. [PMID: 38574885 DOI: 10.1016/j.lfs.2024.122608] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/16/2024] [Revised: 03/20/2024] [Accepted: 04/01/2024] [Indexed: 04/06/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The protein phosphatase 1 regulatory inhibitor subunit 1A (PPP1R1A) has been linked with insulin secretion and diabetes mellitus. Yet, its full significance in pancreatic β-cell function remains unclear. This study aims to elucidate the role of the PPP1R1A gene in β-cell biology using human pancreatic islets and rat INS-1 (832/13) cells. RESULTS Disruption of Ppp1r1a in INS-1 cells was associated with reduced insulin secretion and impaired glucose uptake; however, cell viability, ROS, apoptosis or proliferation were intact. A significant downregulation of crucial β-cell function genes such as Ins1, Ins2, Pcsk1, Cpe, Pdx1, Mafa, Isl1, Glut2, Snap25, Vamp2, Syt5, Cacna1a, Cacna1d and Cacnb3, was observed upon Ppp1r1a disruption. Furthermore, silencing Pdx1 in INS-1 cells altered PPP1R1A expression, indicating that PPP1R1A is a target gene for PDX1. Treatment with rosiglitazone increased Ppp1r1a expression, while metformin and insulin showed no effect. RNA-seq analysis of human islets revealed high PPP1R1A expression, with α-cells showing the highest levels compared to other endocrine cells. Muscle tissues exhibited greater PPP1R1A expression than pancreatic islets, liver, or adipose tissues. Co-expression analysis revealed significant correlations between PPP1R1A and genes associated with insulin biosynthesis, exocytosis machinery, and intracellular calcium transport. Overexpression of PPP1R1A in human islets augmented insulin secretion and upregulated protein expression of Insulin, MAFA, PDX1, and GLUT1, while silencing of PPP1R1A reduced Insulin, MAFA, and GLUT1 protein levels. CONCLUSION This study provides valuable insights into the role of PPP1R1A in regulating β-cell function and glucose homeostasis. PPP1R1A presents a promising opportunity for future therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
The incidence and mortality of endometrial cancer (EC) have increased in recent years. There is mounting evidence that diabetes may play a role in the greater incidence of EC. The molecular mechanisms of the interaction between type 2 diabetes and EC are not yet clearly understood yet. The present study was undertaken to investigate the plasma proteomics of EC patients with diabetes in comparison to those of EC patients without diabetes. Plasma samples were obtained from age-matched patients (EC diabetic and EC nondiabetic). Untargeted proteomic analysis was carried out using a two-dimensional differential gel electrophoresis coupled with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Of the 33 proteins identified, which significantly differed in the plasma abundance between groups, 17 were upregulated and 16 were downregulated. The majority of the altered proteins are involved in the acute phase reaction, cholesterol metabolism, scavenging of heme from plasma, and plasma lipoprotein assembly and mobilization. α-2-macroglobulin, Ras association domain-containing protein 3, apolipoprotein A-I, α-1B-glycoprotein, and zinc-α-2-glycoprotein were significantly upregulated. The significantly downregulated proteins included haptoglobin, apolipoprotein A-IV, hemopexin, and α-1-antichymotrypsin. The differential expression of proteins found in patients who had EC and diabetes indicated severe disease and a poor prognosis. The protein interaction analysis showed dysregulation of cholesterol metabolism and heme scavenging pathways in these patients.

Abstract
Pancreatic β-cells are prone to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress due to their role in insulin secretion. They require sustainable and efficient adaptive stress responses to cope with this stress. Whether episodes of chronic stress directly compromise β-cell identity is unknown. We show here under reversible, chronic stress conditions β-cells undergo transcriptional and translational reprogramming associated with impaired expression of regulators of β-cell function and identity. Upon recovery from stress, β-cells regain their identity and function, indicating a high degree of adaptive plasticity. Remarkably, while β-cells show resilience to episodic ER stress, when episodes exceed a threshold, β-cell identity is gradually lost. Single cell RNA-sequencing analysis of islets from type 1 diabetes patients indicates severe deregulation of the chronic stress-adaptation program and reveals novel biomarkers of diabetes progression. Our results suggest β-cell adaptive exhaustion contributes to diabetes pathogenesis.

Abstract
Background Kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC) is a potentially fatal urogenital disease. It is a major cause of renal cell carcinoma and is often associated with late diagnosis and poor treatment outcomes. More evidence is emerging that genetic models can be used to predict the prognosis of KIRC. This study aimed to develop a model for predicting the overall survival of KIRC patients. Results We identified 333 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between KIRC and normal tissues from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. We randomly divided 591 cases from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) into training and internal testing sets. In the training set, we used univariate Cox regression analysis to retrieve the survival-related DEGs and futher used multivariate Cox regression with the LASSO penalty to identify potential prognostic genes. A seven-gene signature was identified that included APOLD1, C9orf66, G6PC, PPP1R1A, CNN1G, TIMP1, and TUBB2B. The seven-gene signature was evaluated in the training set, internal testing set, and external validation using data from the ICGC database. The Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the high risk group had a significantly shorter overall survival time than the low risk group in the training, testing, and ICGC datasets. ROC analysis showed that the model had a high performance with an AUC of 0.738 in the training set, 0.706 in the internal testing set, and 0.656 in the ICGC external validation set. Conclusion Our findings show that a seven-gene signature can serve as an independent biomarker for predicting prognosis in KIRC patients.

Abstract
Insulin, produced by pancreatic β-cells, is responsible for the control of whole-body glucose metabolism. Insulin is secreted by pancreatic β-cells in a tightly regulated process that is controlled by the serum level of glucose, glucose sensing and glucose oxidative metabolism. The regulation of intermediary metabolism in β-cells is unique as these cells oxidize glucose to CO2 on substrate supply while mitochondrial oxidative metabolism occurs on demand, for the production of intermediates or energy production, in most cell types. This review discusses recent findings that the regulation of intermediary metabolism by nitric oxide attenuates the DNA damage response (DDR) and DNA damage-dependent apoptosis in a β-cell selective manner. Specific focus is placed on the mechanisms by which iNOS derived nitric oxide (low micromolar levels) regulates DDR activation via the inhibition of intermediary metabolism. The physiological significance of the association of metabolism, nitric oxide and DDR signaling for cancer biology and diabetes is discussed.

The Role of Metabolic Flexibility in the Regulation of the DNA Damage Response by Nitric Oxide. Mol Cell Biol 2019; 39:MCB.00153-19.

Abstract
In this report, we show that nitric oxide suppresses DNA damage response (DDR) signaling in the pancreatic β-cell line INS 832/13 and rat islets by inhibiting intermediary metabolism. Nitric oxide is known to inhibit complex IV of the electron transport chain and aconitase of the Krebs cycle. Non-β cells compensate by increasing glycolytic metabolism to maintain ATP levels; however, β cells lack this metabolic flexibility, resulting in a nitric oxide-dependent decrease in ATP and NAD+ Like nitric oxide, mitochondrial toxins inhibit DDR signaling in β cells by a mechanism that is associated with a decrease in ATP. Non-β cells compensate for the effects of mitochondrial toxins with an adaptive shift to glycolytic ATP generation that allows for DDR signaling. Forcing non-β cells to derive ATP via mitochondrial respiration (replacing glucose with galactose in the medium) and glucose deprivation sensitizes these cells to nitric oxide-mediated inhibition of DDR signaling. These findings indicate that metabolic flexibility is necessary to maintain DDR signaling under conditions in which mitochondrial oxidative metabolism is inhibited and support the inhibition of oxidative metabolism (decreased ATP) as one protective mechanism by which nitric oxide attenuates DDR-dependent β-cell apoptosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND When transplanted human pancreatic islets are exposed to blood during intraportal infusion, an innate immune response is triggered. This instant blood-mediated inflammatory reaction (IBMIR) activates the coagulation and complement cascades and leads to the destruction of 25% of all transplanted islets within minutes, contributing to the need, in most patients, for islets from more than 1 donor. Low molecular dextran sulfate (LMW-DS) has been shown in experimental settings to inhibit IBMIR. METHODS The Clinical Islet Transplantation consortium 01 study was a phase II, multicenter, open label, active control, randomized study. Twenty-four subjects were randomized to peritransplant intraportal and systemic treatment with either LMW-DS or heparin, targeting an activated partial thromboplastin time of 150 ± 10 seconds and 50 ± 5 seconds, respectively. C-peptide response was measured with a mixed meal tolerance test at 75 and 365 days after transplant. RESULTS Low molecular dextran sulfate was safe and well tolerated with similar observed adverse events (mostly attributed to immunosuppression) as in the heparin arm. There was no difference in the primary endpoint (stimulated C-peptide 75 ± 5 days after the first transplant) between the 2 arms (1.33 ± 1.10 versus 1.56 ± 1.36 ng/mL, P = 0.66). Insulin requirement, metabolic parameters, Clarke and HYPO score, quality of life, and safety were similar between the 2 treatments groups. CONCLUSIONS Even with low dosing, LMW-DS showed similar efficacy in preventing IBMIR to promote islet engraftment when compared to "state-of-the art" treatment with heparin. Furthermore, no substantial differences in the efficacy and safety endpoints were detected, providing important information for future studies with more optimal dosing of LMW-DS for the prevention of IBMIR in islet transplantation.

IPP-1 controls Akt/CREB phosphorylation extension in A 2a adenosine receptor signaling cascade in MIN6 pancreatic β-cell line. Eur J Pharmacol 2019; 850:88-96.

Abstract
Signaling through A2a adenosine receptor specifically prevent pancreatic β-cells (PBCs) loses under diabetogenic conditions. However, signaling mediators of this receptor in PBCs remained unidentified. Thus, we aimed to investigate the possible involvement of PKA/Akt/IPP-1/CREB pathway in MIN6 β-cells. In addition, we investigated IPP-1 role in A2a receptor signaling pathway. The expression of A2a receptor in MIN6 cell line was evaluated by RT-PCR and its functionality confirmed by quantification of cAMP in response to the CGS 21680, an A2a receptor agonist. MTT and Brdu assays were used to evaluate cell viability and proliferation, respectively. PKA activity and insulin release were evaluated using ELISA methods. P-Akt/Akt, p-IPP-1/IPP-1, and p-CREB/CREB levels were assessed using western blotting. IPP-1 knock down assessments was performed using specific siRNA. Our result revealed that MIN6 cells express A2a receptor which actively increased cAMP levels (with EC50 = 2.41 µM) and PKA activity. Activation of this receptor increased cell viability, proliferation and insulin release. Moreover, we mentioned A2a receptor stimulation increased p-Akt, p-IPP-1, and p-CREB levels in dose (max at 10 µM of CGS 21680) and time (max at 30 min after CGS 21680 treatment) dependent manner. Interestingly, herein, we found in IPP-1 knocked down cells, A2a receptor failed to activate Akt and CREB. Altogether, we mentioned that in MIN6 cells A2a receptor increase cell viability, proliferation and insulin release through PKA/Akt/IPP-1/CREB signaling pathway. In addition, we conclude A2a receptor signaling through this pathway is dependent to activation of IPP-1.

Abstract
AIM Several biomarkers have been proposed to detect pancreatic β cell destruction in vivo but so far have not been compared for sensitivity and significance. METHODS We used islet transplantation as a model to compare plasma concentrations of miR-375, 65-kDa subunit of glutamate decarboxylase (GAD65), and unmethylated insulin DNA, measured at subpicomolar sensitivity, and study their discharge kinetics, power for outcome prediction, and detection of graft loss during follow-up. RESULTS At 60 minutes after transplantation, GAD65 and miR-375 consistently showed near-equimolar and correlated increases proportional to the number of implanted β cells. GAD65 and miR-375 showed comparable power to predict poor graft outcome at 2 months, with areas under the curve of 0.833 and 0.771, respectively (P = 0.53). Using receiver operating characteristic analysis, we defined likelihood ratios (LRs) for rationally selected result intervals. In GADA-negative recipients (n = 28), GAD65 <4.5 pmol/L (LR = 0.15) and >12.2 pmol/L (LR = ∞) predicted good and poor outcomes, respectively. miR-375 could be used in all recipients irrespective of GAD65 autoantibody status (n = 46), with levels <1.4 pmol/L (LR = 0.14) or >7.6 pmol/L (LR = 9.53) as dual thresholds. The posttransplant surge of unmethylated insulin DNA was inconsistent and unrelated to outcome. Combined measurement of these three biomarkers was also tested as liquid biopsy for β cell death during 2-month follow-up; incidental surges of GAD65, miR-375, and (un)methylated insulin DNA, alone or combined, were confidently detected but could not be related to outcome. CONCLUSIONS GAD65 and miR-375 performed equally well in quantifying early graft destruction and predicting graft outcome, outperforming unmethylated insulin DNA.

Abstract
Nitric oxide is produced at micromolar levels by pancreatic β-cells during exposure to proinflammatory cytokines. While classically viewed as damaging, nitric oxide also activates pathways that promote β-cell survival. We have shown that nitric oxide, in a cell type-selective manner, inhibits the DNA damage response (DDR) and, in doing so, protects β-cells from DNA damage-induced apoptosis. This study explores potential mechanisms by which nitric oxide inhibits DDR signaling. We show that inhibition of DDR signaling (measured by γH2AX formation and the phosphorylation of KAP1) is selective for nitric oxide, as other forms of reactive oxygen/nitrogen species do not impair DDR signaling. The kinetics and broad range of DDR substrates that are inhibited suggest that protein phosphatase activation may be one mechanism by which nitric oxide attenuates DDR signaling in β-cells. While protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) is a primary regulator of DDR signaling and an inhibitor of PP1 (IPP1) is selectively expressed only in β-cells, disruption of either IPP1 or PP1 does not modify the inhibitory actions of nitric oxide on DDR signaling in β-cells. These findings support a PP1-independent mechanism by which nitric oxide selectively impairs DDR signaling and protects β-cells from DNA damage-induced apoptosis.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS Pancreatic islet beta cell failure causes type 2 diabetes in humans. To identify transcriptomic changes in type 2 diabetic islets, the Innovative Medicines Initiative for Diabetes: Improving beta-cell function and identification of diagnostic biomarkers for treatment monitoring in Diabetes (IMIDIA) consortium ( www.imidia.org ) established a comprehensive, unique multicentre biobank of human islets and pancreas tissues from organ donors and metabolically phenotyped pancreatectomised patients (PPP). METHODS Affymetrix microarrays were used to assess the islet transcriptome of islets isolated either by enzymatic digestion from 103 organ donors (OD), including 84 non-diabetic and 19 type 2 diabetic individuals, or by laser capture microdissection (LCM) from surgical specimens of 103 PPP, including 32 non-diabetic, 36 with type 2 diabetes, 15 with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and 20 with recent-onset diabetes (<1 year), conceivably secondary to the pancreatic disorder leading to surgery (type 3c diabetes). Bioinformatics tools were used to (1) compare the islet transcriptome of type 2 diabetic vs non-diabetic OD and PPP as well as vs IGT and type 3c diabetes within the PPP group; and (2) identify transcription factors driving gene co-expression modules correlated with insulin secretion ex vivo and glucose tolerance in vivo. Selected genes of interest were validated for their expression and function in beta cells. RESULTS Comparative transcriptomic analysis identified 19 genes differentially expressed (false discovery rate ≤0.05, fold change ≥1.5) in type 2 diabetic vs non-diabetic islets from OD and PPP. Nine out of these 19 dysregulated genes were not previously reported to be dysregulated in type 2 diabetic islets. Signature genes included TMEM37, which inhibited Ca2+-influx and insulin secretion in beta cells, and ARG2 and PPP1R1A, which promoted insulin secretion. Systems biology approaches identified HNF1A, PDX1 and REST as drivers of gene co-expression modules correlated with impaired insulin secretion or glucose tolerance, and 14 out of 19 differentially expressed type 2 diabetic islet signature genes were enriched in these modules. None of these signature genes was significantly dysregulated in islets of PPP with impaired glucose tolerance or type 3c diabetes. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION These studies enabled the stringent definition of a novel transcriptomic signature of type 2 diabetic islets, regardless of islet source and isolation procedure. Lack of this signature in islets from PPP with IGT or type 3c diabetes indicates differences possibly due to peculiarities of these hyperglycaemic conditions and/or a role for duration and severity of hyperglycaemia. Alternatively, these transcriptomic changes capture, but may not precede, beta cell failure.

Abstract
Enteroviral infections have been associated with the development of type 1 diabetes (T1D), a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells. Cultured human islets, including the insulin-producing beta cells, can be infected with coxsackievirus B4 (CVB4) and thus are useful for understanding cellular responses to infection. We performed quantitative mass spectrometry analysis on cultured primary human islets infected with CVB4 to identify molecules and pathways altered upon infection. Corresponding uninfected controls were included in the study for comparative protein expression analyses. Proteins were significantly and differentially regulated in human islets challenged with virus compared with their uninfected counterparts. Complementary analyses of gene transcripts in CVB4-infected primary islets over a time course validated the induction of RNA transcripts for many of the proteins that were increased in the proteomics studies. Notably, infection with CVB4 results in a considerable decrease in insulin. Genes/proteins modulated during CVB4 infection also include those involved in activation of immune responses, including type I interferon pathways linked to T1D pathogenesis and with antiviral, cell repair, and inflammatory properties. Our study applies proteomics analyses to cultured human islets challenged with virus and identifies target proteins that could be useful in T1D interventions.

Abstract
Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors are relatively rare pancreatic neoplasms over the world. Investigations about molecular biology of PNETs are insufficient for nowadays. We aimed to explore the expression of messenger RNA and regulatory processes underlying pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors from different views. The expression profile of GSE73338 were downloaded, including samples with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. First, the Limma package was utilized to distinguish the differentially expressed messenger RNA. Gene Ontology classification and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analysis were performed to explore the functions and pathways of target genes. In addition, we constructed a protein-protein interaction network. NEK2, UBE2C, TOP2A and PPP1R1A were revealed with continuous genomic alterations in higher tumor stage. 91 up-regulated and 36 down-regulated genes were identified to be differentially expressed in malignant PNETs. Locomotory behavior was significantly enriched for biological processes of metastasis PNETs. GCGR and GNAS were identified as the hub of proteins in the protein-protein interaction sub-network of malignant PNETs. We showed the gene expression differences in PNETs according to different clinicopathological aspects. NEK2, UBE2C, TOP2A are positively associated with high tumor grade, and PPP1R1A negatively. GCGR and GNAS are regarded as the hub of the PPI sub-network. CXCR4 may affect the progression of PNETs via the CXCR4-CXCL12-CXCR7 chemokine receptor axis. However, more studies are required.

Abstract
Phosphoproteomic studies have shown that about one third of all cardiac proteins are reversibly phosphorylated, affecting virtually every cellular signaling pathway. The reversibility of this process is orchestrated by the opposing enzymatic activity of kinases and phosphatases. Conversely, imbalances in subcellular protein phosphorylation patterns are a hallmark of many cardiovascular diseases including heart failure and cardiac arrhythmias. While numerous studies have revealed excessive beta-adrenergic signaling followed by deregulated kinase expression or activity as a major driver of the latter cardiac pathologies, far less is known about the beta-adrenergic regulation of their phosphatase counterparts. In fact, most of the limited knowledge stems from the detailed analysis of the endogenous inhibitor of the protein phosphatase 1 (I-1) in cellular and animal models. I-1 acts as a nodal point between adrenergic and putatively non-adrenergic cardiac signaling pathways and is able to influence widespread cellular functions of protein phosphatase 1 which are contributing to cardiac health and disease, e.g. Ca2+ handling, sarcomere contractility and glucose metabolism. Finally, nearly all of these studies agree that I-1 is a promising drug target on the one hand but the outcome of its pharmacological regulation maybe extremely context-dependent on the other hand, thus warranting for careful interpretation of past and future experimental results. In this respect we will: 1) comprehensively review the current knowledge about structural, functional and regulatory properties of I-1 within the heart 2) highlight current working hypothesis and potential I-1 mediated disease mechanisms 3) discuss state-of-the-art knowledge and future prospects of a potential therapeutic strategy targeting I-1 by restoring the balance of cardiac protein phosphorylation.

Abstract
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by the destruction of insulin-producing pancreatic β cells. Immune modulators have achieved some success in modifying the course of disease progression in T1D. However, there are parallel declines in C-peptide levels in treated and control groups after initial responses. In this review, we discuss mechanisms of β cell death in T1D that involve necrosis and apoptosis. New technologies are being developed to enable visualization of insulitis and β cell mass involving positron emission transmission that identifies β cell ligands and magnetic resonance imaging that can identify vascular leakage. Molecular signatures that identify β cell derived insulin DNA that is released from dying cells have been described and applied to clinical settings. We also consider changes in β cells that occur during disease progression including the induction of DNA methyltransferases that may affect the function and differentiation of β cells. Our findings from newer data suggest that the model of chronic long standing β cell killing should be reconsidered. These studies indicate that the pathophysiology is accelerated in the peridiagnosis period and manifest by increased rates of β cell killing and insulin secretory impairments over a shorter period than previously thought. Finally, we consider cellular explanations to account for the ongoing loss of insulin production despite continued immune therapy that may identify potential targets for treatment. The progressive decline in β cell function raises the question as to whether β cell failure that is independent of immune attack may be involved.

Abstract
Background Adipose tissue-derived stromal stem cells (ASCs) represent a promising regenerative resource for soft tissue reconstruction. Although autologous grafting of whole fat has long been practiced, a major clinical limitation of this technique is inconsistent long-term graft retention. To understand the changes in cell function during the transition of ASCs into fully mature fat cells, we compared the transcriptome profiles of cultured undifferentiated human primary ASCs under conditions leading to acquisition of a mature adipocyte phenotype. Methods Microarray analysis was performed on total RNA extracted from separate ACS isolates of six human adult females before and after 7 days (7 days: early stage) and 21 days (21 days: late stage) of adipocyte differentiation in vitro. Differential gene expression profiles were determined using Partek Genomics Suite Version 6.4 for analysis of variance (ANOVA) based on time in culture. We also performed unsupervised hierarchical clustering to test for gene expression patterns among the three cell populations. Ingenuity Pathway Analysis was used to determine biologically significant networks and canonical pathways relevant to adipogenesis. Results Cells at each stage showed remarkable intra-group consistency of expression profiles while abundant differences were detected across stages and groups. More than 14,000 transcripts were significantly altered during differentiation while ~6000 transcripts were affected between 7 days and 21 days cultures. Setting a cutoff of +/-two-fold change, 1350 transcripts were elevated while 2929 genes were significantly decreased by 7 days. Comparison of early and late stage cultures revealed increased expression of 1107 transcripts while 606 genes showed significantly reduced expression. In addition to confirming differential expression of known markers of adipogenesis (e.g., FABP4, ADIPOQ, PLIN4), multiple genes and signaling pathways not previously known to be involved in regulating adipogenesis were identified (e.g. POSTN, PPP1R1A, FGF11) as potential novel mediators of adipogenesis. Quantitative RT-PCR validated the microarray results. Conclusions ASC maturation into an adipocyte phenotype proceeds from a gene expression program that involves thousands of genes. This is the first study to compare mRNA expression profiles during early and late stage adipogenesis using cultured human primary ASCs from multiple patients.

Abstract
Clinical type 1 diabetes is preceded by an asymptomatic phase that can be identified by serum islet autoantibodies. This perspective proposes that there is now sufficient evidence to allow a broader use of islet autoantibodies as biomarkers to diagnose type 1 diabetes that is already at an asymptomatic stage, so that attempts to prevent clinical hyperglycemia become a feature of disease management. Prediction would first, therefore, shift toward the use of genetic and other biomarkers to determine the likelihood that islet autoimmunity will develop in an infant, and second, toward metabolic assessment to stage and biomarkers to determine the rate of progression to hyperglycemia in children in whom islet autoimmunity is diagnosed. A case is presented for future comprehensive risk assessment that commences at birth and includes attempts to predict, stage, and prevent initiation and progression of the disease process at multiple stages. The biomarkers required achieving this level of sophistication and dissemination are discussed.

Abstract
CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE Intraportal islet transplantation can restore insulin production in type 1 diabetes patients, but its effect is subject to several interfering processes. To assess the influence of β-cell loss before and during engraftment, we searched for a real-time marker of β-cell destruction. Previous studies showed that 65-kDa isoform of glutamate decarboxylase (GAD65) is discharged by chemically damaged rat β-cells. We therefore examined the utility of the GAD65 assay to detect and quantify destruction of human β-cells in vitro and in vivo. DESIGN AND PARTICIPANTS A time-resolved fluorescence immunoassay was used to measure GAD65 discharge from β-cells after administration of toxins or after intraportal transplantation. The study in patients involved type 1 diabetes recipients of 56 implants. RESULTS GAD65 was discharged from cultured human β-cells between 4 and 24 hours after acute insult and proportional to the number of dying cells. It was also detected in plasma during the first 24 hours after intraportal transplantation of human islet cell grafts. Diabetic nude rat recipients without hyperglycemic correction exhibited higher plasma GAD65 levels than those with normalization. In type 1 diabetes recipients of grafts with 2-5 × 10(6) β-cells per kilogram of body weight, five of six with plasma GAD65 greater than 1 ng/mL failed to increase plasma C-peptide by greater than 0.5 ng/mL at posttransplant month 2, whereas five of six with undetectable plasma GAD 65 and 15 of 19 with intermediate levels did result in such increase. CONCLUSION Plasma GAD65 qualifies as a marker for early β-cell loss after intraportal transplantation. Further studies are needed to extend its clinical utility.

Abstract
Data set description: This data set is composed by label-free alternate-scanning LC-MS/MS proteomics analysis human and Wistar rat pancreatic islet endocrine cells. The mass spectrometry data of the human and rat pancreatic beta cells and the resulting proteome search output from ProteinLynx GlobalSERVER (PLGS) have been deposited to the ProteomeXchange Consortium [1] via the PRIDE partner repository with the dataset identifiers PXD001539 (human) and PXD001816 (rat). From these mass spectrometry data, 'relative molar amount units' between cell types and across species were calculated. Biological relevance: These data provide a quantitative view on the unfractionated proteomes of human and rat beta and alpha cells. It is likely biased towards the proteins with higher molar abundance, relating to core functional pathways, but also includes several proteins with an islet-enriched expression. The quality of the cell preps is state-of-the-art, and the label-free quantitation is both precise and accurate, allowing detailed quantitative analysis.

Abstract
UNLABELLED There is a clinical need for plasma tests for real-time detection of beta cell destruction, as surrogate endpoint in islet transplantation and immunoprevention trials in type 1 diabetes. This study reports on the use of label-free LC-MS/MS proteomics for bottom-up selection of candidate biomarkers. Ubiquitin COOH-terminal hydrolase 1 (UCHL1) was identified as abundant protein in rat and human beta cells, showing promising beta cell-selectivity, and was selected for further validation in standardized toxicity models. In vitro, H2O2-induced necrosis of INS-1 cells and human islets resulted in intracellular UCHL1 depletion and its extracellular discharge. In vivo, streptozotocin progressively depleted UCHL1 from islet cores and in 50% of animals, an associated plasma UCHL1 surge was detected preceding the GAD65 peak. UCHL1 was cleared with a half-life of 20min. Whole-body dynamic planar imaging of (99m)-Technetium-labeled UCHL1 indicated a rapid UCHL1 uptake in the liver and spleen, followed by urinary excretion of mainly proteolytic UCHL1 fragments. We conclude that LC-MS/MS proteomics is a useful tool to prioritize biomarkers for beta cell injury with promising molar abundance. Despite its consistent UCHL1 discharge by damaged beta cells in vitro, its in vivo use might be restrained by its rapid elimination from plasma. BIOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE Our bottom-up LC-MS/MS proteomics represents a pragmatic approach to identify protein-type biomarkers of pancreatic beta cell injury. UCHL1 successfully passed sequential validation steps of beta cell-selectivity, antigenicity and toxic discharge in vitro. Whole-body dynamic planar imaging of radiolabeled recombinant UCHL1 indicated rapid clearance through the liver, spleen and urinary excretion of proteolytic fragments, likely explaining non-consistent detection in vivo. Integration of kinetic biomarker clearance studies in the a priori selection criteria is recommended before engaging in resource-intensive custom development of sensitive immunoassays for clinical translation.

Abstract
Normal glucose homeostasis is characterized by appropriate insulin secretion and low HbA1c. Gene expression signatures associated with these two phenotypes could be essential for islet function and pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Herein, we employed a novel approach to identify candidate genes involved in T2D by correlating islet microarray gene expression data (78 donors) with insulin secretion and HbA1c level. The expression of 649 genes (P < 0.05) was correlated with insulin secretion and HbA1c. Of them, five genes (GLR1A, PPP1R1A, PLCDXD3, FAM105A and ENO2) correlated positively with insulin secretion/negatively with HbA1c and one gene (GNG5) correlated negatively with insulin secretion/positively with HbA1c were followed up. The five positively correlated genes have lower expression levels in diabetic islets, whereas GNG5 expression is higher. Exposure of human islets to high glucose for 24 h resulted in up-regulation of GNG5 and PPP1R1A expression, whereas the expression of ENO2 and GLRA1 was down-regulated. No effect was seen on the expression of FAM105A and PLCXD3. siRNA silencing in INS-1 832/13 cells showed reduction in insulin secretion for PPP1R1A, PLXCD3, ENO2, FAM105A and GNG5 but not GLRA1. Although no SNP in these gene loci passed the genome-wide significance for association with T2D in DIAGRAM+ database, four SNPs influenced gene expression in cis in human islets. In conclusion, we identified and confirmed PPP1R1A, FAM105A, ENO2, PLCDX3 and GNG5 as potential regulators of islet function. We provide a list of candidate genes as a resource for exploring their role in the pathogenesis of T2D.

Abstract
Vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2) has been exploited as a biomarker of β-cell mass in human islets. However, a current report suggested no immunoreactivity of VMAT2 in the β cells of rat islets. To investigate the cellular localization of VMAT2 in islets further, the pancreatic tissues from monkeys and humans were compared with those of rats and mice. The study was performed using among-species comparisons and a type 1 diabetes model (T1DM) for rats by Western blotting, double-label immunofluorescence, and confocal laser scanning microscopy. We found that VMAT2-immunoreactivity (IR) was distributed peripherally in the islets of rodents, but was widely scattered throughout the islets of primates. Consistent with rodent islets, VMAT2-IR did not exist in insulin (INS)-IR cells but was abundantly present in glucagon (GLU)-IR and pancreatic polypeptide (PP)-IR cells in monkey and human islets. VMAT2-IR had no colocalization with INS-IR in any part of the rat pancreas (head, body, and tail). INS-IR cells were reduced dramatically in T1DM rat islets, but no significant alteration in the proportion of VMAT2-IR cells and GLU-IR cells was observed. Furthermore, a strong colocalization of VMAT2-IR with GLU-IR was distributed in the peripheral regions of diabetic islets. For the first time, the current study demonstrates the presence of VMAT2 in α cells and PP cells but not in β cells in the islets of monkeys and humans. This study provides convinced morphologic evidence that VMAT2 is not present in β cells. There needs to be studies for new markers for β cell mass.
