Abstract

Excessive nitric oxide (NO) production in cytokine-activated β cells has been implicated in β cell disruption in type 1 diabetes. β cells are very vulnerable to NO-induced apoptosis. However, the mechanism underlying this phenomenon is unclear. Low concentrations of NO that lead to apoptosis apparently do not cause severe DNA damage in mouse MIN6 β cells. CHOP, a C/EBP homologous protein that is induced by endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and plays a role in growth arrest and cell death, was induced by a NO donor, S -nitroso- N -acetyl- d,l -penicillamine (SNAP). SNAP increased cytosolic Ca 2+ , and only agents depleting ER Ca 2+ induced CHOP expression and led to apoptosis, suggesting that NO depletes ER Ca 2+ . Overexpression of calreticulin increased the Ca 2+ content of ER and afforded protection to cells against NO-mediated apoptosis. Furthermore, pancreatic islets from CHOP knockout mice showed resistance to NO. We conclude that NO depletes ER Ca 2+ , causes ER stress, and leads to apoptosis. Thus, ER Ca 2+ stores are a new target of NO, and the ER stress pathway is a major mechanism of NO-mediated β cell apoptosis.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
