Rat islets express a pertussis toxin sensitive G-protein involved in receptor-mediated inhibition of insulin secretion. This has been assumed previously to represent “Gi” which couples inhibitory receptors to adenylate cyclase. Incubation of islet G-proteins with32P-NAD and pertussis toxin resulted in the labelling of a band of molecular weight 40,000. This band was very broad and did not allow resolution of individual components. Incubation of the radiolabelled proteins with an anti-Go antiserum resulted in specific immunoprecipitation of a32P-labelled band. These results demonstrate that the complement of pertussis toxin sensitive G-proteins in rat islets includes Go.

Pancreatic β-cells express several ion channels of the transient receptor potential family, which play important roles in mediating the stimulus-secretion coupling. One of these channels, the TRPM4 is a Ca2+-activated monovalent cation channel. This channel is inhibited by 9-phenanthrol, which also inhibits the TMEM16a Cl− channel, and activates the Ca2+-activated K+ channel, Kca3.1. The net effects of ion-channel modulation by 9-phenantherol on the insulin secretion remain unclear. We tested the effects of 9-phenanthrol on glucose- and GLP-1-induced insulin secretion from isolated rat islets in static incubations. When applied to the islets in the presence of 3.3 mM glucose, 9-phenanthrol caused a small increase in insulin secretion (~7% of the insulin secretion stimulated by 10 mM glucose). 10 μM 9-phenanthrol did not inhibit glucose- or GLP-1-induced insulin secretion. 20 μM and 30 μM 9-phenanthrol inhibited glucose-induced insulin secretion by ~80% and ~85%, respectively. Inhibition of the GLP-1-induced insulin secretion by 20 μM and 30 μM 9-phenanthrol was 65% and 94%, respectively. Our study shows that the major effect of 9-phenanthrol on the islets is a strong inhibition of insulin secretion, and we speculate that compounds related to 9-phenanthrol may be potentially useful in treating the pancreatogenous hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia syndromes.

Glucose (20 mM) and carbachol (1 mM) produced a rapid increase in [3H]inositol trisphosphate (InsP3) formation in isolated rat islets of Langerhans prelabelled with myo-[3H]inositol. The magnitude of the increase in InsP3 formation was similar when either agent was used alone and was additive when they were used together. In islets prelabelled with 45Ca2+ and treated with carbachol (1 mM), the rise in InsP3 correlated with a rapid, transient, release of 45Ca2+ from the cells, consistent with mobilization of 45Ca2+ from an intracellular pool. Under these conditions, however, insulin secretion was not increased. In contrast, islets prelabelled with 45Ca2+ and exposed to 20mM-glucose exhibited a delayed and decreased 45Ca2+ efflux, but released 7-8-fold more insulin than did those exposed to carbachol. Depletion of extracellular Ca2+ failed to modify the increase in InsP3 elicited by either glucose or carbachol, whereas it selectively inhibited the efflux of 45Ca2+ induced by glucose in preloaded islets. Under these conditions, however, glucose was still able to induce a small stimulation of the first phase of insulin secretion. These results demonstrate that polyphosphoinositide metabolism, Ca2+ mobilization and insulin release can all be dissociated in islet cells, and suggest that glucose and carbachol regulate these parameters by different mechanisms.
