The influence of down-regulation of protein kinase C on glucose-induced insulin secretion was studied. A 22-24 h exposure of mouse pancreatic islets to the phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA; 0.16 microM) in RPMI 1640 culture medium (8.3 mM-glucose, 0.43 mM-Ca2+) abolished TPA (0.16 microM)-induced insulin secretion and led to a potentiation of phase 1 and a decrease in phase 2 of glucose-induced insulin secretion. Thus, although the total insulin release during 40 min of perfusion with glucose (16.7 mM) (45-85 min) was unaffected, the percentage released during phase 1 (45-55 min) was increased from 12.9 +/- 1.5 (4)% in controls to 35.8 +/- 3.9 (4)% in TPA-treated islets (P less than 0.01), and the percentage released during phase 2 (65-85 min) was decreased from 63.2 +/- 3.9 (4)% to 35.3 +/- 1.4 (4)% (P less than 0.005). In contrast, TPA exposure in TCM 199 medium (5.5 mM-glucose, 1.26 mM-Ca2+) caused a total abolition of both phases 1 and 2 of glucose-induced secretion. However, inclusion of the alpha 2-adrenergic agonists adrenaline (10 microM) or clonidine (10 microM), or lowering of the Ca2+ concentration in TCM 199 during down-regulation, preserved and potentiated phase 1 of glucose-induced secretion. Furthermore, perifusion of islets in the presence of staurosporine (1 microM), an inhibitor of protein kinase C, potentiated phase 1 and inhibited phase 2 of glucose-induced secretion. In addition, down-regulation of protein kinase C potentiated phase 1 and inhibited phase 2 of carbamoylcholine (100 microM)-induced insulin secretion at 3.3 mM-glucose, and abolished the potentiating effect of carbamoylcholine (100 microM) at 16.7 mM-glucose. These results substantiate a role for protein kinase C in insulin secretion, and suggest that protein kinase C inhibits phase 1 and stimulates phase 2 of both glucose-induced and carbamoylcholine-induced insulin secretion.

Protein Kinase C Activity

The tumour-promoting phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) induces insulin secretion from isolated pancreatic islets, and this suggests a potential role for protein kinase C in the regulation of stimulus-secretion coupling in islets. In the present study, the hypothesis that the insulinotropic effect of TPA is mediated by activation of protein kinase C in pancreatic islets has been examined. TPA induced a gradual translocation of protein kinase C from the cytosol to a membrane-associated state which correlated with the gradual onset of insulin secretion. The pharmacologically inactive phorbol ester 4 alpha-phorbol 12,13-didecanoate did not mimic this effect. TPA also induced a rapid time-dependent decline of total protein kinase C activity in islets and the appearance of a Ca2+- and phospholipid-independent protein kinase activity. Insulin secretion induced by TPA was completely suppressed (IC50 approximately 10 nM) by staurosporine, a potent protein kinase C inhibitor. Staurosporine also inhibited islet cytosolic protein kinase C activity at similar concentrations (IC50 approximately 2 nM). In addition, staurosporine partially (approximately 60%) inhibited glucose-induced insulin secretion at concentrations (IC50 approximately 10 nM) similar to those required to inhibit TPA-induced insulin secretion, suggesting that staurosporine may act at a step common to both mechanisms, possibly the activation of protein kinase C. However, stimulatory concentrations of glucose did not induce down-regulation of translocation of protein kinase C, and the inhibition of glucose-induced insulin release by staurosporine was incomplete. Significant questions therefore remain unresolved as to the possible involvement of protein kinase C in glucose-induced insulin secretion.

The occurrence and function of polyamines in protein kinase C activation and insulin secretion in mouse pancreatic islets were studied. Determination of polyamines in mouse islets revealed 0.9 +/- 0.3 (mean +/- S.E.M., n = 6) pmol of putrescine, 11.7 +/- 3.2 (8) pmol of spermidine and 3.7 +/- 0.6 (8) pmol of spermine per islet, corresponding to intracellular concentrations of 0.3-0.5 mM-putrescine, 3.9-5.9 mM-spermidine and 1.2-1.9 mM-spermine in mouse islets. Stimulation of insulin secretion by glucose, the phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) or the sulphonylurea glibenclamide did not affect these polyamine contents. In accordance with a role for protein kinase C in insulin secretion, TPA stimulated both protein kinase C activity and insulin secretion. Stimulation of insulin secretion by TPA was dependent on a non-stimulatory concentration of glucose and was further potentiated by stimulatory concentrations of glucose, glibenclamide or 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine, suggesting that protein kinase C activation, Ca2+ mobilization and cyclic AMP accumulation are all needed for full secretory response of mouse islets. Spermidine (5 mM) and spermine (1.5 mM) at concentrations found in islets inhibited protein kinase C stimulated by TPA + phosphatidylserine by 55% and 45% respectively. Putrescine (0.5 mM) was without effect, but inhibited the enzyme at higher concentrations (2-10 mM). Inhibition of protein kinase C by polyamines showed competition with Ca2+, and Ca2+ influx in response to glucose or glibenclamide prevented inhibition of insulin secretion by exogenous polyamines at concentrations where they did not affect glucose oxidation. It is suggested that inhibition of protein kinase C by polyamines may be of significance for regulation of insulin secretion in vivo and that Ca2+ influx may function by displacing inhibitory polyamines bound to phosphatidylserine in membranes.

Stimulus Secretion Coupling

Preceding the onset of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, pancreatic islets are infiltrated by macrophages secreting interleukin-1 beta, which exerts cytotoxic and inhibitory actions on islet beta-cell insulin secretion through induction of nitric oxide (NO) synthesis. The influence of the NO donor 3-morpholinosydnonimine (SIN-1) on insulin secretion from isolated pancreatic islets in response to various secretagogues was investigated. Stimulation of insulin release evoked by glucose, phospholipase C activation with carbachol, and protein kinase C activation with phorbol ester were obtained by SIN-1, whereas the response to adenylyl cyclase activation or K(+)-induced depolarization was not affected. It is concluded that enzymes involved in glucose catabolism, phospholipase C or protein kinase C, may be targeted by NO. Reversal of SIN-1 inhibition of glucose-stimulated insulin release by dithiothreitol suggests that NO may inhibit insulin secretion partly by S-nitrosylation of thiol residues in key proteins in the stimulus-secretion coupling. These adverse effects of NO on the beta-cell stimulus-secretion coupling may be of importance for the development of the impaired insulin secretion characterizing diabetes mellitus.

The cell line TNR9 (E. Butler-Gralla and H. R. Herschman, J. Cell. Physiol. 107:59-67, 1981) in a Swiss 3T3 cell variant that expresses protein kinase C (PKC) but is mitogenically nonresponsive to the phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA). We have found that PKCs purified from variant and parental cells are identical as judged by kinase activity, protease mapping, and column chromatography. We analyzed cellular levels and subcellular location of PKC in TPA-treated 3T3 and TNR9 cells via immunoprecipitation of [35S]methionine-labeled protein and assay of immune-complex PKC kinase activity. TNR9 cells grew to higher densities than parental 3T3 cells. TNR9 cells at maximal density did not down regulate PKC in response to long-term TPA treatment. We compared the 80-kilodalton (kDa) PKC substrate phosphorylation in 3T3 and TNR9 cells by using two-dimensional gels and found that TNR9 cells treated with TPA for 30 min contained only 10 to 15% as much 32Pi associated with the 80-kDa as did parental cells. The TNR9 80-kDa substrate was present at reduced levels compared with the parental-cell 80-kDa substrate as judged by immunoblot and silver staining. Thus, the loss of mitogenic responsiveness to TPA in TNR9 cells is accompanied by resistance to TPA-mediated down regulation of PKC and reduced phosphosubstrate levels.

The mechanism of glucose-stimulated cyclic AMP accumulation in mouse pancreatic islets was studied. In the presence of 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine, both glucose and the phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA), an activator of protein kinase C, enhanced cyclic AMP formation 2.5-fold during 60 min of incubation. Both TPA-stimulated and glucose-stimulated cyclic AMP accumulations were abolished by the omission of extracellular Ca2+. The Ca2+ ionophore A23187 did not affect cyclic AMP accumulation itself, but affected the time course of TPA-induced cyclic AMP accumulation, the effect of A23187 + TPA mimicking the time course for glucose-induced cyclic AMP accumulation. A 24 h exposure to TPA, which depletes islets of protein kinase C, abolished the effects of both TPA and glucose on cyclic AMP production. Both TPA-induced and glucose-induced cyclic AMP productions were inhibited by anti-glucagon antibody, and after pretreatment with this antibody glucose stimulation was dependent on addition of glucagon. Pretreatment of islets with TPA for 10 min potentiated glucagon stimulation and impaired somatostatin inhibition of adenylate cyclase activity in a particulate fraction of islets. Carbamoylcholine, which is supposed to activate protein kinase C in islets, likewise stimulated cyclic AMP accumulation in islets. These observations suggest that glucose stimulates islet adenylate cyclase by activation of protein kinase C, and thereby potentiates the effect of endogenous glucagon on adenylate cyclase.
