Insulin receptor-inspired soluble insulin binder

The insulin receptor (IR) is a 320 kDa membrane receptor tyrosine kinase mediating the pleiotropic actions of insulin, leading to phosphorylation of several intracellular substrates including serine/threonine-protein kinase (AKT1), and IR autophosphorylation. Structural details of the IR have been recently revealed. A high-binding insulin site, L1 (K_d =2 nM), consists of two distant domains in the primary sequence of the IR. Our design simplified the L1 binding site and transformed it into a soluble insulin binder (sIB). The sIB, a 17 kDa protein, binds insulin with 38 nM affinity. The sIB competes with IR for insulin and reduces by more than 50% phosphorylation of AKT1 in HEK 293 T cells, with similar effects on IR autophosphorylation. The sIB represents a new tool for research of insulin binding and signaling properties.     

Dual microcolumn immunoassay applied to determination of insulin secretion from single islets of Langerhans and insulin in serum

A dual microcolumn immunoassay (DMIA) was developed and applied to determination of insulin in biological samples. The DMIA utilized a protein G capillary column (150 μm I.D.) with covalently attached anti-insulin to selectively capture and concentrate insulins in a sample. Insulins retained in the capillary immunoaffinity column were desorbed and injected onto a reversed-phase capillary column (150 μm I.D.) for further separation from interferences such as cross-reactive antigens and non-specifically adsorbed sample components. Bovine, porcine and rat insulin all cross-reacted with the antibody and could be determined simultaneously. Using a UV absorbance detector, the dual microcolumn system had a detection limit of 10 fmol or 20 pM for 500-μl sample volumes. The DMIA system was used to measure glucose-stimulated insulin secretion from single rat islets of Langerhans. Because of the separation in the second dimension, both rat I and rat II insulin could be independently determined. The system was also evaluated for determination of insulin in serum. Using microcolumns instead of conventional HPLC columns resulted in several advantages including use of less chromatographic material and improved mass detection limit.     

The insulin receptor substrate-1: a biomarker for cancer?

This review focuses on IRS-1 and the evidence of its role in cell transformation. The literature strongly suggests that IRS-1 should be considered a biomaker for cancers susceptible to IGF-IR targeting. In addition, I would like to propose that IRS-1 may have a more general role in cancer, and could be considered as a protein having the opposite effect of tumor suppressors, a sort of anti-p53 molecule.     

Insulin adsorption on coated silica based supports grafted with N-acetylglucosamine by liquid affinity chromatography

Silica beads are coated with dextran carrying a calculated amount of positively charged diethylassminoethyl groups (DEAE) in order to neutralize negative charged silanol groups at the silica surface and in this way to minimize non specific interactions between silica surface and proteins in solution. Dextran-coated silica supports are potentially excellent stationary phases for high-performance liquid chromatography of proteins. These supports combine the advantages of polysaccharide phases with the excellent mechanical characteristics of silica. These supports (silica-dextran-DEAE = SID) are easily functionalized by grafting N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) using conventional coupling methods. The performances of the support bearing GlcNAc are studied by high-performance liquid affinity chromatography (HPLAC) of insulin, the hypoglycemic peptide hormone of the human organism. The study shows that these supports exhibit a reversible and specific affinity towards insulin and allow separations with high purification yields. Moreover, the influence of different physico-chemical parameters (pH, NaCl and insulin concentration) on insulin retention on the support was analysed. This allowed us to optimize the conditions of adsorption and to better understand the interaction mechanisms between insulin and GlcNAc as biospecific ligand.

Labeling of insulin with non-radioactive I and application to incorporation of radioactive I for use in receptor-binding experiments by high-performance liquid chromatography

Conditions for the labeling of insulin with radioactive iodine isotopes were investigated by means of incorporation of non-radioactive ¹²⁷I into the peptide. Either the chloramine-T (CT) or lactoperoxidase-hydrogen peroxide (LPO) technique was applied and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) was used for analysis of the reaction products. The LPO method provided the ¹²⁷I-labeled peptide within 15–30 min, whereas the CT alternative yielded the labeled substrate even within 15 s. However, the latter reaction can only be controlled in a reproducible manner with difficulty and undesirad side-reactions became increasingly prominent when t a few seconds. In another experiment, the LPO technique was applied for radiolabeling insulin with ¹²⁵I. The product was first purified by size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) and then subjected to RP-HPLC. SEC yielded two peaks. The smaller one, which eluted at a slightly higher K_d value (accounting for about 14% of total radioactivity) predominantly consisted of material eluting at the column's void volume under the conditions of RP-HPLC, whereas the main SEC fraction (accounting for about 86% of total radioactivity) yielded a single peak, as shown by HPLC. The radioactive material attributable to the main SEC fraction revealed the expected receptor-binding properties, as evidenced by displacement experiments with non-radioactive insulin, as well as the action of tetradecanoyl phorbol acetate on the binding characteristics and thus indicating formation of a labeled hormone retaining biological activity.     

Blockade of IRS1 in isolated rat pancreatic islets improves glucose-induced insulin secretion

Several neural, hormonal and biochemical inputs actively participate in the balance of insulin secretion induced by blood glucose fluctuations. The exact role of insulin as an autocrine and paracrine participant in the control of its own secretion remains to be determined, mostly due to insufficient knowledge about the molecular phenomena that govern insulin signaling in pancreatic islets. In the present experiments we demonstrate that higher insulin receptor and insulin receptor substrates-1 and -2 (IRS1 and IRS2) concentrations are predominantly encountered in cells of the periphery of rat pancreatic islets, as compared to centrally located cells, and that partial blockade of IRS1 protein expression by antisense oligonucleotide treatment leads to improved insulin secretion induced by glucose overload, which is accompanied by lower steady-state glucagon secretion and blunted glucose-induced glucagon fall. These data reinforce the inhibitory role of insulin upon its own secretion in isolated, undisrupted pancreatic islets.
