About
Glucose is a principal regulator of pancreatic β-cell survival and growth as well as insulin secretion. In recent years there has been increasing interest in the hypothesis that insulin secreted in response to elevated glucose exerts autocrine/paracrine effects through its own receptors (insulin receptor: IR). Despite the growing evidence for the significance of the IR/IRS2-mediated signaling pathways in β-cells, whether secreted insulin acts in an autocrine fashion remains controversial. In this paper we provide evidence suggesting that phogrin, a unique inactive protein tyrosine phosphatase, specifically regulates glucose-stimulated autocrine insulin signaling in pancreatic β-cells. Our data support the hypothesis that transient localization of phogrin onto the plasma membrane following glucose-stimulated insulin secretion enables autocrine insulin signaling through IR binding and regulation of PTP1B in specific pancreatic β-cells.
