ER stress and proinsulin misfolding are heralded as contributing factors to β cell dysfunction in type 2 diabetes, yet how ER function becomes compromised is not well understood. Recent data identify altered ER redox homeostasis as a critical mechanism that contributes to insulin granule loss in diabetes. Hyperoxidation of the ER delays proinsulin export and limits the proinsulin supply available for insulin granule formation. In this report, we identified glucose metabolism as a critical determinant in the redox homeostasis of the ER. Using multiple β cell models, we showed that loss of mitochondrial function or inhibition of cellular metabolism elicited ER hyperoxidation and delayed ER proinsulin export. Our data further demonstrated that β cell ER redox homeostasis was supported by the metabolic supply of reductive redox donors. We showed that limiting NADPH and thioredoxin flux delayed ER proinsulin export, whereas thioredoxin-interacting protein suppression restored ER redox and proinsulin trafficking. Taken together, we propose that β cell ER redox homeostasis is buffered by cellular redox donor cycles, which are maintained through active glucose metabolism.

Barriers to WHO prequalification of similar biotherapeutic insulin.

Objective: To identify the barriers preventing manufacturers of similar biotherapeutic human insulin from submitting their products to the World Health Organization (WHO) for prequalification.
Methods: We used a self-administered questionnaire to collect data from companies producing similar biotherapeutic human insulin. We included questions about the insulin products manufactured, knowledge of WHO prequalification requirements, export of the products and compliance with good manufacturing practices.

Primary defects in folding of mutant proinsulin can cause dominant-negative proinsulin accumulation in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), impaired anterograde proinsulin trafficking, perturbed ER homeostasis, diminished insulin production, and β-cell dysfunction. Conversely, if primary impairment of ER-to-Golgi trafficking (which also perturbs ER homeostasis) drives misfolding of nonmutant proinsulin-this might suggest bi-directional entry into a common pathological phenotype (proinsulin misfolding, perturbed ER homeostasis, and deficient ER export of proinsulin) that can culminate in diminished insulin storage and diabetes. Here, we've challenged β-cells with conditions that impair ER-to-Golgi trafficking, and devised an accurate means to assess the relative abundance of distinct folded/misfolded forms of proinsulin using a novel nonreducing SDS-PAGE/immunoblotting protocol.

Delayed Golgi export of proinsulin has recently been identified as an underlying mechanism leading to insulin granule loss and β-cell secretory defects in type 2 diabetes (T2D). Because acidification of the Golgi lumen is critical for proinsulin sorting and delivery into the budding secretory granule, we reasoned that dysregulation of Golgi pH may contribute to proinsulin trafficking defects. In this report, we examined pH regulation of the Golgi and identified a partial alkalinization of the Golgi lumen in a diabetes model.

Objective: Although individual steps have been characterized, there is little understanding of the overall process whereby glucose co-ordinates the biosynthesis of insulin with its export out of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and incorporation into insulin secretory granules (ISGs). Here we investigate a role for the transcription factor CREB3L2 in this context.
Methods: MIN6 cells and mouse islets were analysed by immunoblotting after treatment with glucose, fatty acids, thapsigargin and various inhibitors.
