AbstractBackgroundCongenital hyperinsulinism (CHI), a condition characterized by dysregulation of insulin secretion from the pancreatic β cells, remains one of the most common causes of hyperinsulinemic, hypoketotic hypoglycemia in the newborn period. Mutations in ABCC8 and KCNJ11 constitute the majority of genetic forms of CHI.Case presentationA term macrosomic male baby, birth weight 4.81 kg, born to non-consanguineous parents, presented on day 1 of life with severe and persistent hypoglycemia. The biochemical investigations confirmed a diagnosis of CHI. Diazoxide was started and progressively increased to 15 mg/kg/day to maintain normoglycemia. Sequence analysis identified compound heterozygous mutations in ABCC8 c.4076C>T and c.4119+1G>A inherited from the unaffected father and mother, respectively. The mutations are reported pathogenic. The patient is currently 7 months old with a sustained response to diazoxide.ConclusionsBiallelic ABCC8 mutations are known to result in severe, diffuse, diazoxide-unresponsive hypoglycemia. We report a rare patient with CHI due to compound heterozygous mutations in ABCC8 responsive to diazoxide.

Common polymorphisms within the FTO (fat mass and obesity-associated) gene correlate with increased BMI (body mass index) and a rising risk of Type 2 diabetes. FTO is highly expressed in the brain but has also been detected in peripheral tissues, including the endocrine pancreas, although its function there is unclear. The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of FTO protein in pancreatic β-cells using a conditional expression system developed in INS-1 cells. INS-1 cells were stably transfected with FTO–HA (haemagluttinin) incorporated under the control of a tetracycline-inducible promoter. Induction of FTO protein resulted in localization of the tagged protein to the nucleus. The level of FTO–HA protein achieved in transfected cells was tightly regulated, and experiments with selective inhibitors revealed that FTO–HA is rapidly degraded via the ubiquitin/proteasome pathway. The nuclear localization was not altered by proteasome inhibitors, although following treatment with PYR-41, an inhibitor of ubiquitination, some of the protein adopted a perinuclear localization. Unexpectedly, modestly increased expression of FTO–HA selectively enhanced the first phase of insulin secretion when INS-1 monolayers or pseudoislets were stimulated with 20 mM glucose, whereas the second phase remained unchanged. The mechanism responsible for the potentiation of glucose-induced insulin secretion is unclear; however, further experiments revealed that it did not involve an increase in insulin biosynthesis or any changes in STAT3 (signal transducer and activator of transcription 3) expression. Taken together, these results suggest that the FTO protein may play a hitherto unrecognized role in the control of first-phase insulin secretion in pancreatic β-cells.
