It has been proposed that the alpha-glycerophosphate (alpha-GOP) shuttle plays a crucial role in regulation of glycolysis in beta-cells by linking reoxidation of cytosolic NADH to formation of ATP in the electron transport chain (J. Biol. Chem. 265: 8287, 1981). Direct evidence for this suggestion is still lacking, however. In this work the operation of the alpha-GOP shuttle was investigated in the insulin-secreting cell line HIT-T15. The constituent enzymes of the pathway were found to be present in HIT cells. Flavin-linked alpha-GOP dehydrogenase was associated with the mitochondrial fraction, whereas NAD+-dependent alpha-GOP dehydrogenase was localized in the cytosol. In the presence of amobarbital (used to preserve the function of the alpha-GOP shuttle under conditions where oxidation of NADH by the respiratory chain was blocked), glucose increased insulin secretion, O2 consumption, and the cell [ATP]/[ADP] when compared with amobarbital alone. These results indicate that the alpha-GOP shuttle contributes to ATP generation in HIT cells and that its activation may be necessary for the initiation of insulin secretion by glucose.

Quinine, 4-aminopyridine and tetraethylammonium, three compounds generally used as effectors of K+ channels, strongly modify phospholipid metabolism. In the human monocytic cell line THP1, the three drugs enhanced the incorporation of [3H]serine into phosphatidylserine and that of [3H]inositol into phosphatidylinositol in the absence of significant changes in the uptake of the 3H labels. On the contrary, the biosynthesis of both phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine was strongly inhibited. This inhibition appeared to be mainly due to the inhibition of both [3H]choline and [3H]ethanolamine uptake by the cells, by impairment of choline transport in a competitive mode.
