Diabetes
What is it?
Prevalence of Diabetes
•
•
•
•
15.7 million people (5.9% of pop)
10.3 diagnosed
5.4 undiagnosed
New cases per year: 798,000
Data from CDC
Types of Diabetes
• Type 1
– Aka insulin dependent or juvenile onset
– 5-10% of all diabetes cases
– Risk factors unclear, but include
• Autoimmune
• Genetic
• Environmental factors
Types of Diabetes
• Type 2 diabetes
– Aka non-insulin dependent (a misnomer) or adult
onset
– 90-95% of all cases
– Risk factors include
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Age
Obesity
Family history
Prior history of gestational diabetes
Impaired glucose tolerance
Physical inactivity
Race/ethnicity
– African American, Hispanic/Latino Americans, American
Indians, Asian Americans/Pacific Islanders
Types of Diabetes
• Gestational diabetes
– 2-5% of pregnancies
– Linked with
• Race/ethnicity
• Obesity
• Family history
– Perhaps 40% of women with GD develop Type 2
• “Other specific types”—1-2% of diabetes

Other diseases
Drugs

Malnutrition
Infections
Complications of Diabetes
•
•
•
•
2-4 x increase in heart disease
2-4 x increase in strokes
60-65% have high blood pressure
Leading cause of blindness in adults 2074 yrs.
– 12-24,000 new case/year
• Primary cause of kidney disease
Complications of Diabetes
• 60-70% of diabetics have nervous
system damage
– Impaired sensation/pain in hands/feet
– Slowed digestion
– Carpal tunnel syndrome
• >50% of lower limb amputations are
diabetics
Complications of Diabetes
•
•
•
•
Periodontal disease
Complications of pregnancy
Coma
General increase in disease
susceptibility
Cost
• $98 billion (1997)
• $44 billion in direct medical costs
• $54 billion in indirect cost
Treatment
• Type 1
– Diet
– Exercise
– Glucose testing/insulin injection
• Type 2
– Diet
– Exercise
– Glucose testing
– Oral medication
– Insulin injection
Causes
• Type 1
– Loss of pancreatic beta cells
– Little or no insulin
• Type 2
– May have very high insulin levels
– Failure to respond to insulin
• Insulin receptors
• Glucose transporters
– Failure to secret sufficient insulin
Our Questions:
• How does the pancreas sense glucose
levels and secret insulin?
– Metabolic coupling
– Hormonal signals
• How can this secretion be increased as
needed?
• What are some other disorders
associated with insulin secretion?

Receptors and Control of Insulin
Release”
Trends in Endocrinology and Metabolism
10(4):146-152.
The K+ Channel
• Pore formed by 4 copies of Kir6.2
– Part of large family
– Related to voltage gated K+ channels
SUR receptor
– High affinity for
sulfonylureas
– 4 copies of SUR1
– Superfamily of ATPbinding cassette
(ABC) proteins
Sulfonylureas
• Oral antidiabetic drugs
• Increase insulin secretion
Tolbutamide

Other effects of sulfonylureas
• Inhibit Na/K ATPase
• Inhibit and activate chloride channels
• Potentiate Ca-dependent exocytosis
Normal ligand of SUR1?
• -endosulfine
• 13 kD peptide
• Expressed in
– Muscle
– Brain
– Endocrine cells
• Endogenous regulator of KATP channel?
Other diseases associated with
insulin secretion
• Persistant hyperinsulinaemic
hypoglycaemia of Infancy (PHHI)
• Hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemia (HH)
PPHI
• Very rare (1:45,000)
• Very low blood sugar in neonate
• Risk of severe brain damage and
mental retardation
• Treat by
– Decrease carbohydrate intake
– Use drugs that inhibit insulin secretion
• Diazoxide
• Somatostatin
– Pancreatectomy (95%) removal
• At risk for diabetes later in life
Genetics of PPHI
• Not entirely clear
• To date
– >25 reported SUR1 defects
– 3 KIR6.2 defects
– Autosomal recessive
• Abnormalities in
– Trafficking
– Assembly
– Regulation
Experimental Evidence
• Cultured -cells from PPHI children
– Spontaneously electrically active
– No functional KATP channels
– Resting membrane is close to threshold for
Ca channels
• Easily open
• Trigger insulin secretion
Experimental Evidence, con’t
• Transgenic mice with ‘dominant
negative’ form of Kir6.2
– No K channel activity
– Developed hyperinsulinaemic
hypoglycemia
• Impaired KATP channel function
• Depolarized resting membrane potentials
• Elevated cytosolic [Ca]
– High frequency of apoptotic -cells
HH
•
•
•
•
•
•
Milder than PPHI
Episodic
Later in life (even adulthood)
Always responsive to diazoxide
Autosomally dominant inheritance
Not linked to SUR1 or KIR6.2
Two forms of HH
HH-GK
– Defect in glucokinase
– Rate-limiting step in pancreas
– If mutation causes decrease in glucose
sensitivity of GK
• Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY)
• Autosomal dominant
– GK-HH mutations increase glucose
sensitivity
Two forms of HH
• GDH-HH
– Hyperinsulinaemia with hyperammonaemia
– Defects in glutamate dehydrogenase
– Sporadic genetics or familial dominant
– Defects in allosteric inhibition by GTP
• Constantly “on” enzyme
• In liver, leads to increase ammonia
production
• In -cells, dietary leucine stimulates
GDH
– Increase flux of -kg into Kreb’s
– Increases ATP production
– Closes KATP channels
• Response to diazoxide
