ABSTRACT
Enolase-1 (Eno1) plays a critical role in regulating glucose metabolism; however, its specific impact on pancreatic islet ß-cells remains elusive. This study aimed to provide a preliminary exploration of Eno1 function in pancreatic islet ß-cells. The findings revealed that the expression of ENO1 mRNA in type 2 diabetes donors was significantly increased and positively correlated with HbA1C and negatively correlated with insulin gene expression. A high level of Eno1 in human insulin-secreting rat INS-1832/13 cells with co-localization with intracellular insulin proteins was accordingly observed. Silencing of Eno1 using siRNA or inhibiting Eno1 protein activity with an Eno1 antagonist significantly reduced insulin secretion and insulin content in ß-cells, while the proinsulin/insulin content ratio remained unchanged. This reduction in ß-cells function was accompanied by a notable decrease in intracellular ATP and mitochondrial cytochrome C levels. Overall, our findings confirm that Eno1 regulates the insulin secretion process, particularly glucose metabolism and ATP production in the ß-cells. The mechanism primarily involves its influence on insulin production, suggesting that Eno1 represents a potential target for ß-cell protection and diabetes treatment.
