The enzyme L-glutamic acid decarboxylase is a major autoantigen of the beta cell. Autoantibodies against this enzyme are observed before the onset of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) in man and may be of predictive value. There is evidence that this enzyme is involved in the development of autoimmune diabetes in animals. In order to facilitate the investigation of the role of L-glutamine acid decarboxylase in IDDM, we expressed the 65 kDa isoform of human islet L-glutamic acid decarboxylase in insect cells using a baculovirus-based vector. The material was expressed at high levels (up to 50 mg/l of cells). Partially purified metabolically labelled L-glutamic acid decarboxylase bound to immunoglobulins in the sera from 20 of 49 subjects with newly-diagnosed IDDM. The enzyme was isolated in high yields (up to 26 mg/l cell culture) with fully maintained enzymatic activity by either ion-exchange chromatography or immunoaffinity chromatography. Purified L-glutamic acid decarboxylase inhibited the binding of radioactive L-glutamic acid decarboxylase, prepared by in vitro translation of mRNA, to immunoglobulins in the sera of subjects with IDDM. Recombinant human islet L-glutamic acid decarboxylase, isolated from Sf9 cells, is a suitable material for the large scale investigation of the utility of this enzyme in the prediction and prevention of autoimmune diabetes.

D007515 Islets of Langerhans Irregular microscopic structures consisting of cords of endocrine cells that are scattered throughout the PANCREAS among the exocrine acini. Each islet is surrounded by connective tissue fibers and penetrated by a network of capillaries. There are four major cell types. The most abundant beta cells (50-80%) secrete INSULIN. Alpha cells (5-20%) secrete GLUCAGON. PP cells (10-35%) secrete PANCREATIC POLYPEPTIDE. Delta cells (~5%) secrete SOMATOSTATIN.

D003922 Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1 A subtype of DIABETES MELLITUS that is characterized by INSULIN deficiency. It is manifested by the sudden onset of severe HYPERGLYCEMIA, rapid progression to DIABETIC KETOACIDOSIS, and DEATH unless treated with insulin. The disease may occur at any age, but is most common in childhood or adolescence.
