Özet:
Diabetes mellitus is a complex metabolic disease that currently affects an estimated 422 million people worldwide, with incidence rates rising annually. Type 1 diabetes (T1D) accounts for 5-10% of these cases. Its complications remain a major cause of global deaths. T1D is characterized by autoimmune destruction of beta-cell mass. Efforts to preserve and protect beta-cell mass in the preclinical stages of T1D are limited by few blood-borne biomarkers of beta-cell destruction. In healthy beta-cells, insulin secretion requires soluble n-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor-attachment protein receptor (SNARE) complexes and associated accessory regulatory proteins to promote the docking and fusion of insulin vesicles at the plasma membrane. Two target membrane (t)-SNARE proteins, Syntaxin 1/4 and SNAP25/23, and one vesicle-associated (v)-SNARE protein, VAMP2, constitute the SNARE core complex. SNARE complex assembly is also facilitated by the regulatory protein, Double C2-domain protein beta (DOC2B). I hypothesized that DOC2B deficiency may underlie beta-cell susceptibility to T1D damage; conversely , overexpression of DOC2B may protect beta-cell mass. Indeed, with regard to DOC2B abundance, my studies show reduced levels of DOC2B in platelets and islets of prediabetic rodents and new-onset T1D humans. Remarkably, clinical islet transplantation in T1D humans restores platelet DOC2B levels, indicating a correlation.
With regard to protection/functional effects, DOC2B deficiency enhances susceptibility to T1D in mice, while overexpression of DOC2B selectively in beta-cells protects mice from chemically induced T1D; this correlates with preservation of functional beta-cell mass. Mechanistically, overexpression of DOC2B and the DOC2B peptide, C2AB, protects clonal beta-cell against cytokine or thapsigargin-induced apoptosis and reduces ER stress; this is dependent on C2AB's calcium binding capacity. C2AB is sufficient to enhance glucose stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) and SNARE activation in clonal beta-cells to the same extent as full-length DOC2B. In summary, these studies identify DOC2B as a potential biomarker and novel therapeutic target for prevention/management of T1D.
