Dominant-Negative α-Subunit of Farnesyl- and Geranyltransferase Inhibits Glucose-Stimulated, but Not KCl-Stimulated, Insulin Secretion in INS 832/13 Cells

Abstract: The majority of small G-proteins undergo posttranslational modifications (e.g., isoprenylation) at their C-terminal cysteine residues. Such modifications increase their hydrophobicity, culminating in translocation of the modified proteins to their relevant membranous sites for interaction with their respective effectors. Previously, we reported glucose-dependent activation and membrane association of

“…Several studies have reported that insulin secretion stimulated by membrane-depolarizing agents such as KCl and arginine was not blunted in secretagogueinduced desensitized b-cells or islet b-cells isolated from diabetic patients (Rustenbeck et al 2004, Del Guerra et al 2005 . A recent report that prevention of prenylation of small G-proteins, which may be involved in insulin granule movement, inhibited GSIS but not KCl-stimulated insulin secretion supports the idea that b-cells with functional impairment at the step of Ca 2C influx or insulin exocytosis can respond to KCl (Veluthakal et al 2007).…”

“…The medium was changed twice, and cells were subcloned weekly. Islets from normal SpragueDawley rats were isolated by collagenase digestion method described previously (41). All experiments, including isolation of pancreatic islets from normal Sprague-Dawley rats, were reviewed and approved by the Wayne State University Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee.…”

“…Pharmacological (i.e., generic as well as more selective inhibitors of geranylgeranylation of Rac1), as well as molecular biological (i.e., dominantnegative mutants of prenyltransferases; Ref. 22) studies from our laboratory have clearly implicated Rac1 in islet function, including insulin secretion (17,15,41). The identity of the farnesylated protein, which is required for nutrient-induced ROS generation, remains to be determined.…”

“…The extent of Rac1 activation (i.e., GTP-bound form) was determined using a commercially available kit (Cytoskeleton, Denver, CO) described earlier (22,39). Scrambled or PHP-siRNA transfected INS 832/13 cells were incubated with low (2.5 mM) or high glucose (20 mM) for 15 min at 37°C.…”

“…The cells were incubated with Krebs-Ringer bicarbonate buffer for 2 h prior to stimulation with low (2.5 mM) or high glucose (20 mM), mitochondrial fuels (MMS; 15 mM), and KIC (5 mM), KCl (40 mM), or Mas (0 -15 M) for 45 min at 37°C. Insulin released into the medium was quantified by ELISA as described earlier (22,39).…”
