Streptozotocin (STZ), an analogue of GlcNAc, inhibits purified rat spleen O-GlcNAc-selective N-acetyl-β-d-glucosaminidase (O-GlcNAcase), the enzyme that removes O-GlcNAc from protein. We have shown previously that STZ increases pancreatic islet O-linked protein glycosylation. In light of these data, we investigated the possibility further that STZ causes β-cell death by inhibiting O-GlcNAcase. In isolated islets, the time course and dose curve of STZ-induced O-glycosylation correlated with β-cell toxicity. STZ inhibition of rat islet O-GlcNAcase activity also paralleled that of its β-cell toxicity, with significant inhibition occurring at a concentration of 1mM. In contrast, STZ inhibition of rat brain O-GlcNAcase and β-TC3 insulinoma cell O-GlcNAcase was significantly right-shifted compared with islets, with STZ only significantly inhibiting activity at a concentration of 5mM, the same concentration required for β-TC3 cell toxicity. In comparison, N-methyl-N-nitrosourea, the nitric oxide-donating portion of STZ, did not cause increased islet O-glycosylation, β-cell toxicity or inhibition of β-cell O-GlcNAcase. Enhanced STZ sensitivity of islet O-GlcNAcase compared with O-GlcNAcase from other tissues or an insulinoma cell line suggests why actual islet β-cells are particularly sensitive to STZ. Confirming this idea, STZ-induced islet β-cell toxicity was completely blocked by GlcNAc, which also prevented STZ-induced O-GlcNAcase inhibition, but was not even partially blocked by glucose, glucosamine or GalNAc. Together, these data demonstrate that STZ's inhibition of β-cell O-GlcNAcase is the mechanism that accounts for its diabetogenic toxicity.

Abstract Islet amyloid is a pathologic feature of type 2 diabetes (T2D) that is associated with β-cell loss and dysfunction. These amyloid deposits form via aggregation of the β-cell secretory product islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) and contain other molecules including the heparan sulfate proteoglycan perlecan. Perlecan has been shown to bind amyloidogenic human IAPP (hIAPP) via its heparan sulfate glycosaminoglycan (HS GAG) chains and to enhance hIAPP aggregation in vitro. We postulated that reducing the HS GAG content of perlecan would also decrease islet amyloid deposition in vivo. hIAPP transgenic mice were crossed with Hspg2Δ3/Δ3 mice harboring a perlecan mutation that prevents HS GAG attachment (hIAPP;Hspg2Δ3/Δ3), and male offspring from this cross were fed a high fat diet for 12 months to induce islet amyloid deposition. At the end of the study body weight, islet amyloid area, β-cell area, glucose tolerance and insulin secretion were analyzed. hIAPP;Hspg2Δ3/Δ3 mice exhibited significantly less islet amyloid deposition and greater β-cell area compared to hIAPP mice expressing wild type perlecan. hIAPP;Hspg2Δ3/Δ3 mice also gained significantly less weight than other genotypes. When adjusted for differences in body weight using multiple linear regression modeling, we found no differences in islet amyloid deposition or β-cell area between hIAPP transgenic and hIAPP;Hspg2Δ3/Δ3 mice. We conclude that loss of perlecan exon 3 reduces islet amyloid deposition in vivo through indirect effects on body weight and possibly also through direct effects on hIAPP aggregation. Both of these mechanisms may promote maintenance of glucose homeostasis in the setting of T2D.
