- W2915324993 abstract "Autophagy is the major mechanism involved in degradation and recycling of intracellular components, and its alterations have been proposed to cause beta cell dysfunction. In this study, we explored the effects of autophagy modulation in human islets under conditions associated to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Human pancreatic islets were isolated by enzymatic digestion and density gradient purification from pancreatic samples of non-diabetic (ND; n=17; age 65±21 years; gender: 5M/12F; BMI 23.4±3.3 kg/m2) and T2D (n=9; age 76±6 years; 4M/5F; gender: BMI 25.4±3.7 kg/m2) organ donors. Nine ND organ donors were treated for hypertension and 1 for both hypertension and hypercholesterolemia. T2D organ donors were treated with metformin (4), oral hypoglycemic agents (2), diet+oral hypoglycemic agents (1), insulin (1) or insulin plus metformin (1) as for antidiabetic therapy and, of these, 3 were treated also for hypertension and 6 for both hypertension and hypercholesterolemia. Two days after isolation, they were cultured for 1-5 days with 10 ng/ml rapamycin (autophagy inducer), 5 mM 3-methyladenine (3-MA) or 1.0 nM concanamycin-A (ConcA) (autophagy blockers), either in the presence or not of metabolic (0.5 mM palmitate) or chemical (0.1 ng/ml brefeldin A) ER stressors. In ND islets palmitate exposure induced a 4-5 fold increase of beta cell apoptosis, which was significantly prevented by rapamycin and exacerbated by 3-MA. Substantially similar results were observed with brefeldin treatment. Glucose-stimulated insulin secretion from ND islets was reduced by palmitate (- 40-50%) and brefeldin (- 60-70%), and rapamycin counteracted palmitate, but not brefeldin, cytostatic action. Both palmitate and brefeldin induced PERK, CHOP and Bip gene expression, which was partially, but significantly prevented by rapamycin. With T2D islets, rapamycin alone reduced the amount of p62. Compared to untreated T2D cells, rapamycin-exposed diabetic islets showed improved insulin secretion, reduced proportion of beta cells showing signs of apoptosis and better preserved insulin granules, mitochondria and ER ultrastructure; this was associated with significant reduction of PERK, CHOP and Bip gene expression. This study emphasizes the importance of autophagy modulation in human beta cell function and survival, particularly in situations of ER stress. Tuning autophagy could be a tool for beta cell protection." @default.
