The expression of pro(insulin) in the thymus may lead to the negative selection of pro(insulin) autoreactive T cells and peripheral tolerance to this autoantigen in type 1 diabetes (T1D). We investigated whether proinsulin is expressed in the thymus of young nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice, whether T cells from naive NOD female mice at weaning are reactive to mouse proinsulin, and the role of proi...
To increase the folding efficiency of the insulin precursor and the production yield of insulin, we have designed a mini-proinsulin (M2PI) having the central C-peptide region replaced with a sequence forming a reverse turn. The mini-proinsulin was fused at the N-terminus to a 21-residue fusion partner containing a His10 tag for affinity purification. The gene for the fusion protein was inserted...
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to assess the relationship between fasting proinsulin (PI) and age in general population and to determine whether there are differences regarding this association in obese and non-obese persons. METHODS A random population-based sample (n=656) of Romanians (26-80 years) living in Bucharest, Romania was studied; 432 persons had diabetes and they were n...
Familial hyperproinsulinemia is an autosomal dominant defect that is associated with strikingly elevated levels of serum proinsulin-like material. Our studies show that trypsin converts familial hyperproinsulinemia proinsulin to insulin more slowly than it converts a 131I-labeled porcine proinsulin marker. Molar yields of insulin indicated that the material may be an intermediate proinsulin. St...
Recently, missense mutations upstream of preproinsulin's signal peptide (SP) cleavage site were reported to cause mutant INS gene-induced diabetes of youth (MIDY). Our objective was to understand the molecular pathogenesis using metabolic labeling and assays of proinsulin export and insulin and C-peptide production to examine the earliest events of insulin biosynthesis, highlighting molecular m...
Proinsulin is a single polypeptide chain composed of the B and A subunits of insulin joined by the C-peptide region. Proinsulin is converted to insulin during the maturation of secretory vesicles by the action of two proteases and conversion is inhibited by ionophores that disrupted intracellular H+ gradients. To determine if conversion of prohormone to hormone actually occurs in an acidic secr...
chromatography and liquid scintillation counting as described previously 141. Fig. 1 demonstrates a standard curve relating log,,, human proinsulin concentration t o specific activity of HMG-CoA reductase (pmol minI mgI protein). The human proinsulin concentration range for which this curve was linear was 2.7-2.7 x 1 0 5 PM. Thus, the detection limits of the bioassay presently include the physi...
BACKGROUND Obesity and diabetes mellitus are associated with an increased risk of pancreatic cancer. These associations may be secondary to consequences of peripheral insulin resistance, pancreatic β-cell dysfunction, or hyperglycemia itself. Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is a measure of hyperglycemia, whereas plasma insulin and proinsulin are markers of peripheral insulin resistance, and the proinsul...
Impaired islet function is a feature of non-insulindependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), which is manifested in part by disproportionate proinsulin release. A disproportionate increase in proinsulin also occurs in insulinomas, suggesting that enhanced proinsulin release results from an increase in synthesis and premature release of proinsulin-rich immature granules in both conditions. However, r...
OBJECTIVE Proinsulin is a marker of beta-cell distress and dysfunction in type 2 diabetes and transplanted islets. Proinsulin levels are elevated in patients newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Our aim was to assess the relationship between proinsulin, insulin dose-adjusted haemoglobin A1c (IDAA1C), glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), glucagon, and remission status the first year after diagnosis...
