A role and mechanism for redox sensing by SENP1 in β-cell responses to high fat feeding.

ABSTRACT: Pancreatic β-cells respond to metabolic stress by upregulating insulin secretion, however the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here we show, in β-cells from overweight humans without diabetes and mice fed a high-fat diet for 2 days, insulin exocytosis and secretion are enhanced without increased Ca²⁺ influx. RNA-seq of sorted β-cells suggests altered metabolic pathways early following high fat diet, where we find increased basal oxygen consumption and proton leak, but a more reduced cytosolic redox state. Increased β-cell exocytosis after 2-day high fat diet is dependent on this reduced intracellular redox state and requires the sentrin-specific SUMO-protease-1. Mice with either pancreas- or β-cell-specific deletion of this fail to up-regulate exocytosis and become rapidly
