Hyperinsulinemia often precedes type 2 diabetes. Palmitoylation, implicated in exocytosis, is reversed by acyl-protein thioesterase 1 (APT1). APT1 biology was altered in pancreatic islets from humans with type 2 diabetes, and APT1 knockdown in nondiabetic islets caused insulin hypersecretion. APT1 knockout mice had islet autonomous increased glucose-stimulated insulin secretion that was associated with prolonged insulin granule fusion. Using palmitoylation proteomics, we identified Scamp1 as an APT1 substrate that localized to insulin secretory granules. Scamp1 knockdown caused insulin hypersecretion. Expression of a mutated Scamp1 incapable of being palmitoylated in APT1-deficient cells rescued insulin hypersecretion and nutrient-induced apoptosis. High-fat-fed islet-specific APT1-knockout mice and global APT1-deficient db/db mice showed increased β cell failure. These findings suggest that APT1 is regulated in human islets and that APT1 deficiency causes insulin hypersecretion leading to β cell failure, modeling the evolution of some forms of human type 2 diabetes.

Real-time detection of somatostatin release from single islets reveals hypersecretion in type 2 diabetes.
Acta Physiol (Oxf)

Aim: Somatostatin from pancreatic δ-cells is a paracrine regulator of insulin and glucagon secretion, but the release kinetics and whether secretion is altered in diabetes is unclear. This study aimed to improve understanding of somatostatin secretion by developing a tool for real-time detection of somatostatin release from individual pancreatic islets.
Methods: Reporter cells responding to somatostatin with cytoplasmic Ca concentration ([Ca]) changes were generated by co-expressing somatostatin receptor SSTR2, the G-protein Gα15 and a fluorescent Ca sensor in HeLa cells.
Obesity, insulin resistance, and a host of environmental and genetic factors can drive hyperglycemia, causing β-cells to compensate by increasing insulin production and secretion. In type 2 diabetes (T2D), β-cells under these conditions eventually fail. Rare β-cell diseases like congenital hyperinsulinism (HI) also cause inappropriate insulin secretion, and some HI patients develop diabetes.

Acromegaly-induced diabetes presents unique features due to the direct effects of excess growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-) on glucose metabolism, especially insulin resistance in association to low body fat content and water retention. Increased cardiovascular risk is much higher when acromegaly is complicated with diabetes, thus requiring a holistic management that addresses also these specific characteristics which differ from those of classical type 2 diabetes.The optimal management of diabetes in acromegaly requires not only an effective control of carbohydrate disturbances per se, but also the concurrent control of GH hypersecretion as it will directly impact on glucose control.

Pasireotide is an effective treatment for both Cushing's disease (CD) and acromegaly due to its ability to suppress adrenocorticotropic hormone and growth hormone, and to normalize insulin-like growth factor-1 levels, resulting in tumor shrinkage. However, it may also cause hyperglycemia as a side effect in some patients. The aim of this study was to review previous recommendations regarding the management of pasireotide-induced hyperglycemia in patients with CD and acromegaly and to propose efficient monitoring and treatment algorithms based on recent evidence and current guidelines for type 2 diabetes treatment.

Purpose: The objective of this study was to characterize the clinical characteristics and factors predictive of biochemical remission in patients with symptomatic acromegaly undergoing transsphenoidal surgery (TSS) at an academic tertiary care center, as defined by the 2022 Acromegaly Consensus Conference guidelines.
Methods: In this single institution, longitudinal, retrospective study, a large cohort of 158 patients with a preoperative diagnosis of acromegaly undergoing surgery at a large, academic, tertiary care center were examined. We excluded 38 patients as IGF-1 testing was performed less than 12 weeks postoperatively.
