Abstract
The
presence of autoantibodies to multiple islet autoantigens confers high
risk for development of Type 1 diabetes. Four major autoantigens are
established (insulin, glutamate decarboxylase, IA-2, and zinc
transporter-8), but the molecular identity of a fifth, a 38kDa membrane
glycoprotein (Glima), is unknown. Glima antibodies have been detectable
only by immunoprecipitation from extracts of radiolabeled islet or
neuronal cells. We sought to identify Glima to enable efficient assay of
these autoantibodies. Mouse brain and lung were shown to express Glima.
Membrane glycoproteins from extracts of these organs were enriched by
detergent phase separation, lectin affinity chromatography and SDS-PAGE.
Proteins were also immunoaffinity purified from brain extracts using
autoantibodies from diabetic patients' sera before SDS-PAGE. Eluates
from gel regions equivalent to 38kDa were analyzed by LC-MS/MS for
protein identification. Three proteins were detected in samples from the
brain and lung extracts, and in the immunoaffinity purified sample, but
not the negative control. Only tetraspanin-7, a multipass transmembrane
glycoprotein with neuroendocrine expression, had physical
characteristics expected of Glima. Tetraspanin-7 was confirmed as an
autoantigen by demonstrating binding to autoantibodies in Type 1
diabetes. We identify tetraspanin-7 as a target of autoimmunity in
diabetes, allowing its exploitation for diabetes prediction and
immunotherapy.
