  • Polymorphism in the Calpain 10 gene influences glucose metabolism in human fat cells
  • 2002

    • Aims/hypothesis. A common G to A polymorphism (UCSNP-43) in the Calpain 10 gene was recently found to be associated with Type 11 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus and variations in post-absorptive and insulin stimulated glucose metabolism in vivo. We aimed to study the influence of Calpain 10 polymorphism on insulin action in fat cells. Methods. Calpain 10 polymorphism (UCSNP-19, -43 or -63) were set in relation to lipolysis and lipogenesis in isolated subcutaneous adipocytes of 46 apparently healthy non-obese subjects. Results. For UCSNP-43 the GIG genotype had twofold higher basal and insulin stimulated rates as compared with AA/AG genotypes. However, there was no genotype effect on basal or insulin inhibited lipolysis rates in fat cells. The protein amount of GLUT 4 in adipocytes was not influenced by the polymorphism. Fat cells expressed mRNA for the Calpain 10 gene at a relatively high concentration, about 4 amol/mug RNA, which is similar to that of uncoupling protein-2. Neither a UCSNP-19 nor a UCSNP-63 polymorphism in the Calpain 10 gene was found to be associated with basal or insulin-induced adipocyte lipolysis and lipogenesis. None of the polymorphisms influenced body mass index or fasting plasma concentrations of insulin and glucose in 693 non-obese healthy subjects. Conclusion/interpretation. The Calpain 10 gene could be involved in the regulation of glucose metabolism but not lipolysis in human fat cells, although it does not involve adipocyte GLUT-4 protein content. It is possible that the Calpain 10 gene predisposes to diabetes by influencing the glucose metabolism.

  • Characterization of a naturally occurring mutation (L107I) in the HNF1 alpha (MODY3) gene.
  • 2002
  • In: Diabetologia. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 1432-0428 .- 0012-186X. ; 45:12, s. 1703-1708
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: Maturity onset diabetes of the young type 3 (MODY3) is a monogenic form of diabetes mellitus caused by mutations in the gene encoding for hepatocyte nuclear factor 1 alpha, HNF1 alpha. In this study we have examined the in vivo and in vitro effects of a mutation (L107I) outside the DNA binding and dimerization domains in the N terminal part of the HNF1 alpha gene. METHODS: Beta-cell function of the affected family members was assessed by an oral glucose tolerance test. Functional tests were carried out to explain the role of the mutation in vitro by transcriptional activity assay, Western blotting, DNA-binding assays and subcellular localization experiments. RESULTS: Affected family members showed an 86% decreased insulin response to glucose when compared to age-matched healthy control subjects. In vitro the mutation showed a 79% decrease in transcriptional activity as compared to wild type HNF1 alpha in HeLa cells lacking HNF1 alpha. The transcriptional activity was not suppressed when the mutant was co-expressed with wild type HNF1 alpha suggesting that the decreased activity was not mediated by a dominant negative mechanism. The L107I/HNF1alpha protein showed normal nuclear targeting but impaired binding to an HNF1 alpha consensus sequence. CONCLUSION/INTERPRETATION: Our results suggest that the L107I substitution represents a MODY3 mutation which impairs beta-cell function by a loss-of-function mechanism.

  • Autoimmunity to CD38 and GAD in Type I and Type II diabetes: CD38 and HLA genotypes and clinical phenotypes
  • 2002
  • In: Diabetologia. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 1432-0428 .- 0012-186X. ; 45:9, s. 1298-1306
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • Aims/hypothesis. Autoantibodies against CD38 have been found in some patients with Type II (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus and have been shown to stimulate insulin secretion by cultured human islets. We tested whether this new form of autoimmunity, (i) overlaps with anti-GAD autoimmunity, (ii) identifies an insulin-deficient phenotype, (iii) is under the influence of genetic factors. Methods. We screened 496 adults by immuno-blot analysis in the Botnia Study (298 with Type II and 98 with Type I (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus, 100 non-diabetic control subjects). Results. CD38-autoantibodies were found in 8.4% of Type II diabetic patients (p<0.003 vs 0% of control subjects), particularly in anti-GAD positive (14% vs 6% of anti-GAD negative, p=0.0004). CD38ab were also found in 4% of Type I diabetic patients; in the whole study group, 59% of anti-CD38 positive had DQB1 *02 compared with 38% of anti-CD38 negative (p=0.04). On the OGTT, beta-cell function (as the ratio of insulin-to-glucose areas) was impaired (p=0.02) only in association with anti-GAD positivity (3.2 +/- 3.1 U/mol, mean +/- SD) but not in anti-CD38 positive patients (5.6 +/- 2.9) as compared with patients free of autoimmunity (4.5 +/- 4.6, p=NS). In 44 Type II diabetic patients (22 negative and 22 positive for anti-CD38), no mutations were detected in any of the 8 exons, 5' end of intron 1 or the 5' and 3' untranslated regions of the CD38 gene. The previously described missense mutation (Arg140Trp) in exon 3 was not found in this cohort. There was no association between the PvUII polymorphism and clinical phenotype. Conclusion. Anti-CD38 autoimmunity identifies a clinical phenotype similar to non-autoimmune Type II diabetes, with relative preserved beta-cell function and weak genetic influence.

  • 5 ' flanking variants of resistin are associated with obesity
  • 2002
  • In: Diabetes. - : American Diabetes Association. - 1939-327X .- 0012-1797. ; 51:5, s. 1629-1634
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • Diabetes and obesity have long been known to be related. The recently characterized adipocyte hormone resistin (also called FIZZ3/ADSF) has been implicated as a molecular link between impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and obesity in mice. A search for sequence variants at the human resistin locus identified nine single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) but no coding variants. An investigation into the association of these SNPs with diabetes and obesity revealed two 5' flanking variants (g.-537 and g.-420), in strong linkage disequilibrium, that are associated with BMI. In nondiabetic individuals from the Quebec City area and the Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean region of Quebec, the g.-537 mutation (allelic frequency = 0.04) was significantly associated with an increase in BMI (P = 0.03 and P = 0.01, respectively). When the data from these two populations were combined and adjusted for age and sex, both the g.-537 (odds ratio [OR] 2.72, 95% Cl 1.28-5.81) and the g.-420 variants (1.58, 1.06-2.35) were associated with an increased risk for a BMI greater than or equal to30 kg/m(2). In contrast, in case/control and family-based study populations from Scandinavia, we saw no effect on BMI with either of these promoter variants. No association was seen with diabetes in any of the population samples.

  • Down-regulation of insulin receptor substrates (IRS)-1 and IRS-2 and Src homologous and collagen-like protein Shc gene expression by insulin in skeletal muscle is not associated with insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes.
  • 2002
  • In: Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism. - 1945-7197. ; 87:1, s. 255-259
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • To examine whether altered gene expression of insulin receptor substrates (IRS)-1 and IRS-2 and Src homologous and collagen-like protein Shc is an inherited trait and is associated with muscle insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes, we measured mRNA levels of these genes by a relative quantitative RT-PCR method in muscle biopsies taken before and after an insulin clamp from 12 monozygotic twin pairs discordant for type 2 diabetes and 12 control subjects. Insulin-stimulated glucose uptake was decreased both in the diabetic and nondiabetic twin, compared with healthy control subjects (5.2 +/- 0.7 and 8.5 +/- 0.8 vs. 11.4 +/- 0.9 mg/kg x min(-1); P < 0.01 and P < 0.02, respectively). Basal mRNA levels of IRS-1, IRS-2, and Shc were similar in the diabetic and nondiabetic twins as well as in the control subjects. Insulin decreased mRNA expression of IRS-1 by 72% (from 0.75 +/- 0.06 to 0.21 +/- 0.04 relative units; P < 0.001), IRS-2 by 71% (from 0.55 +/- 0.10 to 0.16 +/- 0.08 relative units; P < 0.03), and Shc by 25% (from 0.95 +/- 0.04 to 0.71 +/- 0.04 relative units; P < 0.01) vs. baseline as demonstrated in the control subjects. The postclamp Shc mRNA level was slightly higher in the diabetic twins (P = 0.05) but similar in the nondiabetic twins, as compared with the control subjects, whereas postclamp IRS-1 and IRS-2 mRNA levels were similar between the study groups. There was an inverse correlation between postclamp Shc mRNA concentration and glucose uptake (r = -0.53, P = 0.01; n = 22) in the controls and nondiabetic twins. However, the decrease in Shc gene expression by insulin was not significantly different between the study groups. In conclusion, because insulin down-regulates IRS-1, IRS-2, and Shc gene expression in skeletal muscle in diabetic and nondiabetic monozygotic twins and control subjects to the same extent, it is unlikely that expression of these genes is an inherited trait or contributes to skeletal muscle insulin resistance.

  • Decreased expression of heat shock protein 72 in skeletal muscle of patients with type 2 diabetes correlates with insulin resistance
  • 2002
  • In: Diabetes. - 1939-327X. ; 51:4, s. 1102-1109
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • Oxidative stress has been ascribed a role in the pathogenesis of diabetes and its complications, and stress proteins have been shown to protect organisms in vitro and in vivo against oxidative stress. To study the putative role of one of the most abundant cytoprotective stress proteins, inducible cytoplasmic 72-kDa-mass heat shock protein (Hsp-72), in the pathogenesis of diabetes, we measured its mRNA concentration in muscle biopsies from six type 2 diabetic patients and six healthy control subjects (protocol 1) as well as in 12 twin pairs discordant for type 2 diabetes and 12 control subjects undergoing a euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp in combination with indirect calorimetry (protocol 2). The amount of Hsp-72 mRNA in muscle was significantly lower in type 2 diabetic patients than in healthy control subjects (in protocol 1: 5.2 +/- 2.2 vs. 53 +/- 32 million copies of Hsp-72 mRNA/mug total RNA, n = 6, P = 0.0039; in protocol 2: 3.2 +/- 3.3 vs. 43 +/- 31 million copies of Hsp-72 mRNA/mug total RNA, n = 12, P = 0.0001). Hsp-72 mRNA levels were also markedly reduced in the nondiabetic co-twins compared with healthy control subjects (5.8 +/- 5.0 vs. 43 +/- 31, n = 12, P = 0.0001), but they were also statistically significantly different from their diabetic co-twins when the difference between the pairs was compared (P = 0.0280). Heat shock protein mRNA content in muscle of examined patients correlated with the rate of glucose uptake and other measures of insulin-stimulated carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. In conclusion, the finding of decreased levels of Hsp-72 mRNA in skeletal muscle of patients with type 2 diabetes and its relationship with insulin resistance raises the question of whether heat shock proteins are involved in the pathogenesis of skeletal muscle insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes.

  • Glutamic acid decarboxylase antibody positivity is associated with an impaired insulin response to glucose and arginine in nondiabetic patients with autoimmune thyroiditis
  • 2002
  • In: Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism. - 1945-7197. ; 87:3, s. 1177-1183
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • To study whether antibodies to glutamic acid decarboxylase (GADab) are associated with subclinical beta-cell damage and impaired insulin secretion, we screened 441 nondiabetic patients with autoimmune thyroiditis (AT) for GADab, and 15 (3.4%) were found positive. Antibodies to IA-2 were found in two GADab+ and one GADab- patients. We matched 11 GADab+ and 13 GADab- AT patients who were euthyroid on thyroxin supplementation, and 13 control subjects for sex, age, and body mass index and measured insulin, C-peptide, and glucagon response to glucose and arginine at three blood glucose concentrations (fasting, 14 mmol/liter, >25 mmol/liter). In the fasting state, all groups had similar blood glucose concentration and HbA1c level, but the serum insulin concentration was higher in the AT patients compared with the control subjects (P < 0.04). The acute insulin response to arginine was lower in GADab+ than in GADab- thyroiditis subjects at glucose concentration of 14 and >25 mmol/liter (AIR,4: 76.8 +/- 52.0 vs. 158.2 +/- 118.2 mU/liter, P = 0.040; AIR(>25): 84.3 +/- 64.4 vs. 167.9 +/- 101.5 mU/liter, P = 0.035). In conclusion, GADab were associated with a decreased insulin secretion capacity in nondiabetic subjects with thyroiditis, which suggests that GADab positivity could be a marker of subclinical insulitis.
