    Figure 6—In vitro interaction studies between human PST peptides and <t>GRP78.</t> A: Spectrophotometric Malachite Green-phosphate assay was performed to compare the effect of 2 mmol/L PST-WT and PST-297S on inhibition of GRP78 ATPase activity. The different groups were compared using one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey multiple-comparisons test; n 5 4, one-way ANOVA, F 5 30.93, P < 0.0001. B: Human HepG2 hepatocytes were treated with 100 nmol/L PST-WT or PST-297S along with 5 mg/mL tunicamycin or 5 mg/mL tunicamycin alone for 24 h. Changes in GRP78 expression following this treatment were visualized using an immunoblot with anti-GRP78 antibody (control: anti–b-actin). C: Quantitative analysis of the immunoblot in B was performed using one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey multiple-comparisons test; n 5 5, one-way ANOVA, F 5 35.29, P < 0.0001. D: Western blot for GRP78 expression posttransfection of HEK-293 cells with increasing amounts of GRP78-overexpressing construct: lane 1, 0 mg; lane 2, 0.5 mg; lane 3, 1 mg; lane 4, 2 mg; and lane 5, 3 mg of GRP78-overexpressing construct. E: Competitive binding assay was performed to assess the ability of PST-WT or PST- 297S peptides to displace labeled [125]I-Tyr PST by adding increasing concentrations (0, 10 pmol/L through 1 mmol/L) of the PST peptides along with 100 nCi of labeled PST to 10 mg of isolated plasma membrane. Displacement was calculated as a percentage of receptors in the control samples that did not contain any competing peptides. F: Quantitative analysis of the graph in E was performed by comparing the AUC of the displacement curves of PST-WT and PST-297S using an unpaired two-tailed Student t test (n 5 4).

    Figure 7—A schematic representation of the plausible mechanistic basis for increased cardiometabolic disease risk associated with the PST 297Ser allele. Occurrence of a nonsynonymous genetic variation within the PST region results in the PST p.Gly297Ser variant. PST- 297S peptide differs from PST-WT in its secondary structure (especially a-helical content). Structural differences between PST-WT and PST-297S peptides and their consequent differential interactions with GRP78 and IR may cause enhanced potencies of the PST-297S peptide for inhibition of insulin-stimulated glucose uptake and activation of the gluconeogenesis pathway. These and associated cellular/ molecular processes may elevate the levels of plasma glucose, HbA1c, and catecholamines in the carriers of the PST 297Ser allele, thereby increasing their risk for T2D, HTN, CAD, and MS.

E: Competitive binding assay was performed to assess the ability of PST-WT or PST- 297S peptides to displace labeled [125]I-Tyr PST by adding increasing concentrations (0, 10 pmol/L through 1 mmol/L) of the PST peptides along with 100 nCi of labeled PST to 10 mg of isolated plasma membrane. Displacement was calculated as a percentage of receptors in the control samples that did not contain any competing peptides. F: Quantitative analysis of the graph in E was performed by comparing the AUC of the displacement curves of PST-WT and PST-297S using an unpaired two-tailed Student t test (n 5 4).

    Figure 7—A schematic representation of the plausible mechanistic basis for increased cardiometabolic disease risk associated with the PST 297Ser allele. Occurrence of a nonsynonymous genetic variation within the PST region results in the PST p.Gly297Ser variant. PST- 297S peptide differs from PST-WT in its secondary structure (especially a-helical content). Structural differences between PST-WT and PST-297S peptides and their consequent differential interactions with GRP78 and IR may cause enhanced potencies of the PST-297S peptide for inhibition of insulin-stimulated glucose uptake and activation of the gluconeogenesis pathway. These and associated cellular/ molecular processes may elevate the levels of plasma glucose, HbA1c, and catecholamines in the carriers of the PST 297Ser allele, thereby increasing their risk for T2D, HTN, CAD, and MS.
