Genetic ablation of p62/SQSTM1 demonstrates little effect on pancreatic β-cell function under autophagy deficiency
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications(2022)
摘要
Autophagy is known to play an essential role in intracellular quality control through the degradation of damaged organelles and components. We previously demonstrated that β-cell-specific autophagy deficient mice, which lack Atg7, exhibited impaired glucose tolerance, accompanied by the accumulation of sequestosome 1/p62 (hereafter referred to as p62). Whereas p62 has been reported to play essential roles in regulating cellular homeostasis in the liver and adipose tissue, we previously showed that β-cell-specific p62 deficiency does not cause any apparent impairment in glucose metabolism. In the present study, we investigated the roles of p62 in β cells under autophagy-deficient conditions, by simultaneously inactivating both Atg7 and p62 in a β-cell specific manner. Whereas p62 accumulation was substantially reduced in the islets of Atg7 and p62 double-deficient mice, glucose tolerance and insulin secretion were comparable to Atg7 single-deficient mice. Taken together, these findings suggest that the p62 accumulation appears to have little effect on β-cell function under conditions of autophagy inhibition.
