Proteasome inhibitors can downregulate proinsulin synthesis in beta cells and lead to decreased insulin secretion and cell death. However, they can also rescue newly synthesized proinsulin from degradation. After 60 minutes of proteasomal inhibition, proinsulin levels start to decrease.
Preproinsulin entry into the endoplasmic reticulum yields proinsulin, and its subsequent delivery to the distal secretory pathway leads to processing, storage, and secretion of mature insulin. Multiple groups have reported that treatment of pancreatic beta cell lines, rodent pancreatic islets, or human islets with proteasome inhibitors leads to diminished proinsulin and insulin protein levels, diminished glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, and changes in beta-cell gene expression that ultimately lead to beta-cell death. However, these studies have mostly examined treatment times far beyond that needed to achieve acute proteasomal inhibition. Here, we report that although proteasomal inhibition immediately downregulates new proinsulin biosynthesis, it nevertheless acutely increases beta-cell proinsulin levels in pancreatic beta cell lines, rodent pancreatic islets, and human islets, indicating rescue of a pool of recently synthesized WT INS gene product that would otherwise be routed to proteasomal disposal. Our pharmaco-logical evidence suggests that this disposal most likely reflects ongoing endoplasmic reticulum-associated protein degradation. However, we found that within 60 min after proteasomal inhibition, intracellular proinsulin levels begin to fall in conjunction with increased phosphorylation of eukaryotic initiation factor 2 alpha, which can be inhibited by blocking the general control nonderepressible 2 kinase. Together, these data demonstrate that a meaningful subfraction of newly synthesized INS gene product undergoes rapid proteasomal disposal. We propose that free amino acids derived from proteasomal proteolysis may potentially participate in suppressing general control nonderepressible 2 kinase activity to maintain ongoing proinsulin biosynthesis.
