Cholesterol metabolism and pancreatic β-cell function

Abstract: Cholesterol is important for beta-cell function and survival. It can cause beta-cell loss if allowed to accumulate in the cells in an unregulated manner. The maintenance of beta-cell cholesterol homeostasis, therefore, is important for preventing beta-cell dysfunction, the onset of insulin resistance and the development of type 2 diabetes.

“…GSIS from pancreatic ␤-cells represents an example of regulated secretion, which shares some common regulatory mechanisms with other secretory systems. Recent studies indicate that excess cholesterol impairs ␤-cell function and GSIS (10,11,57,58). The data presented here suggest that membrane cholesterol abundance regulates glucose-stimulated actin reorganization, membrane depolarization, and insulin secretion by controlling PIP 2 metabolism in ␤-cells.…”

“…We cannot examine why increased BMI was a stronger predictor of pancreas failure in T2DM patients compared with T1DM patients. However, we can hypothesize that in T2DM recipients increased BMI may be a marker of plurimetabolic syndrome, with insulin resistance, hyperinsulinemia, dyslipidemia, vascular disease, and increased prothrombotic activity that may contribute to pancreas loss (22)(23)(24)(25)(26).…”

“…The LXR target genes ABCA1 and ABCG1 play critical roles in maintaining beta cell function by regulating cellular cholesterol homeostasis. Indeed, cellular cholesterol accumulation is an emerging mechanism leading to beta cell dysfunction in T2D (44). Deficiency of either ABCA1 or ABCG1 in beta cells leads to alterations in cellular cholesterol distribution and impaired insulin secretion (45).…”
