Description

In combined analysis of 48,115 individuals, Flannick et al. (2014) identified a c.412C-T transition in the SLC30A8 gene, resulting in an arg138-to-ter (R138X) substitution that conferred protection against type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D; see 125853): heterozygosity for R138X was estimated to yield a 53% reduction in T2D risk (p = 0.0067). Overexpression of the R138X variant in HeLa cells showed low to undetectable protein levels by protein blot analysis or immunofluorescence staining, despite RNA transcript levels that were similar to wildtype.

Using human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived beta-like cells heterozygous for R138X, Dwivedi et al. (2019) confirmed that R138X reduced SLC30A8 expression due to nonsense-mediated decay, leading to haploinsufficiency. Knockdown of SLC30A8 in human beta cells reduced Zn(2+) content and enhanced insulin secretion, proinsulin processing, and cell viability in response to glucose challenge. Likewise, mice carrying the human R138X allele showed enhanced insulin secretion and proinsulin processing when fed a high-fat diet. The R138X protein showed punctate distribution consistent with localization to secretory granules when overexpressed in a rat insulinoma cell line, but it had no impact on cytosolic free Zn(2+). The authors concluded that loss of SLC30A8 function protects against T2D via enhanced insulin secretion.
