Moritz W, Böni-Schnetzler M, Stevens W, Froesch ER, Levy JR. In-frame exon 2 deletion in insulin receptor RNA in a family with extreme insulin resistance in association with defective insulin binding. Eur J Endocrinol 1996;135:357–63. ISSN 0804–4643 The phenotype and allelic expression of the insulin receptor gene is presented in a family with a patient with type A insulin resistance. Compared to controls, insulin receptor binding in transformed lymphocytes was 100%, 33% and 13% in the father, mother and proband, respectively. Reduced insulin receptor binding co-segregated with altered insulin receptor mRNA expression; the mother and daughter expressed eight insulin receptor mRNA species, including a set of four normal sized and a set of four shorter mRNA transcripts. In the proband the levels of the normal sized mRNA transcripts were suppressed relative to the shorter transcripts. Reverse polymerase chain reaction (PCR) revealed that the shorter transcripts contained an in-frame deletion of exon 2. Sequencing of the entire insulin receptor coding region revealed a paternally inherited A to T substitution in nucleotide 3205, converting isoleucine 996 to phenylalanine. which does not co-segregate with reduced binding. Therefore, we hypothesize that two findings are necessary for the presentation of type A insulin resistance in this patient: an in-frame deletion of the insulin receptor exon 2 that codes for amino acids crucial for insulin binding; and an inhibition of expression of the paternal insulin receptor allele.

We have shown previously that experimental modifications of the cellular lipid composition of an insulin-sensitive rat hepatoma cell line (Zajdela Hepatoma Culture, ZHC) affect both binding and biological actions of insulin. Discrepancies between insulin binding and actions implied a postbinding defect, responsible for the observed insulin resistance in lipid-treated cells. To elucidate the mechanism for this defect, we have studied insulin binding and insulin receptor kinase activity in partially purified receptor preparations from ZHC cells grown either in normal medium or in medium supplemented with linoleic acid or 25-hydroxycholesterol. Insulin binding to the lectin-purified insulin receptor showed only a small alteration in receptor affinity for the preparations from lipid-treated cells. Insulin-stimulated autophosphorylation of the beta-subunit of the insulin receptor, as well as insulin-induced phosphorylation of the artificial substrate poly(Glu,Tyr)4:1, was significantly decreased in the preparations from lipid-modified cells. Although differences in basal levels were observed, the magnitude of the insulin-stimulated kinase activity was significantly decreased in receptor preparations from lipid-treated cells. These findings indicate that experimental modification of the lipids of cultured hepatoma cells can produce in insulin receptor kinase activity changes that are proportional to the reduced insulin action observed in these cells.
