ABSTRACT The release of insulin, glucagon, somatostatin and pancreatic polypeptide (PP) by isolated mouse pancreatic islets was determined during 30-min incubations at 5.6 and 16.7 mmol glucose/l in the absence and presence of gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP), vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) and peptide histidine isoleucine (PHI) at concentrations of 1–1000 nmol/l. Insulin release was enhanced (>50%) by GIP (100–1000 nmol/l) and VIP (1 μmol/l) at 5.6 mmol glucose/l, but not at 16.7 mmol glucose/l. Glucagon release was increased by GIP (100–1000 nmol/l), and by VIP and PHI (1—1000 nmol/l) at both glucose concentrations in a dose-related manner (maximum increases > tenfold). Somatostatin release was similarly increased by GIP (10–1000 nmol/l) at both glucose concentrations. Only the highest concentration (1 μmol/l of PHI tested increased somatostatin release (twofold) at 5.6 mmol glucose/l, whereas PHI and VIP (1–1000 nmol/l reduced (>37%) somatostatin release at 16.7 mmol glucose/l. PP release was increased (49–58%) by 100–1000 nmol GIP/l, but was not significantly altered by VIP, and was reduced (39–56%) by PHI. The results indicate that GIP, VIP and PHI each stimulate glucagon release in a dose-related manner, but they exert discretely different effects on other islet hormones depending upon the dose and the prevailing glucose concentration.

Immunocytochemical studies habe shown that many peptides which profoundly affect the endocrine and exocrine functions of the pancreas are localized to neurons. In the cat, such peptidergic nerves appear to innervate ganglia, islets and blood vessels of the pancreas, whereas their contributions to exocrine cells are minor. Our studies suggest that pancreatic ganglia represent one major site of action of the peptides and that, in addition, nerves containing the vasoactive intestinal polypeptide and gastrin/CCK-related peptides profoundly affect pancreatic blood flow and insulin secretion, respectively.

Taurine (TAU) supplementation increases insulin secretion in response to high glucose concentrations in rodent islets. This effect is probably due to an increase in Ca2+handling by the islet cells. Here, we investigated the possible involvement of the cholinergic/phospholipase C (PLC) and protein kinase (PK) A pathways in this process. Adult mice were fed with 2 % TAU in drinking water for 30 d. The mice were killed and pancreatic islets isolated by the collagenase method. Islets from TAU-supplemented mice showed higher insulin secretion in the presence of 8·3 mm-glucose, 100 μm-carbachol (Cch) and 1 mm-3-isobutyl-1-methyl-xanthine (IBMX), respectively. The increase in insulin secretion in response to Cch in TAU islets was accompanied by a higher intracellular Ca2+mobilisation and PLCβ2protein expression. The Ca2+uptake was higher in TAU islets in the presence of 8·3 mm-glucose, but similar when the islets were challenged by glucose plus IBMX. TAU islets also showed an increase in the expression of PKAα protein. This protein may play a role in cation accumulation, since the amount of Ca2+in these islets was significantly reduced by the PKA inhibitors:N-[2-(p-bromocinnamylamino)ethyl]-5-isoquinoline sulfonamide (H89) and PK inhibitor-(6–22)-amide (PKI). In conclusion, TAU supplementation increases insulin secretion in response to glucose, favouring both influx and internal mobilisation of Ca2+, and these effects seem to involve the activation of both PLC–inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate and cAMP–PKA pathways.

Microdissected beta-cell-rich pancreatic islets of non-inbred ob/ob mice were used in studies of how perchlorate (CIO4-) affects stimulus-secretion coupling in beta-cells. CIO4- at 16 mM potentiated D-glucose-induced insulin release, without inducing secretion at non-stimulatory glucose concentrations. The potentiation mainly applied to the first phase of stimulated insulin release. In the presence of 20 mM-glucose, the half-maximum effect of CIO4- was reached at 5.5 mM and maximum effect at 12 mM of the anion. The potentiation was reversible and inhibitable by D-mannoheptulose (20 mM) or Ca2+ deficiency. CIO4- at 1-8 mM did not affect glucose oxidation. The effects on secretion were paralleled by a potentiation of glucose-induced 45Ca2+ influx during 3 min. K+-induced insulin secretion and 45Ca2+ uptake were potentiated by 8-16 mM-CIO4-. The spontaneous inactivation of K+-induced (20.9 mM-K+) insulin release was delayed by 8 mM-CIO4-. The anion potentiated the 45Ca2+ uptake induced by glibenclamide, which is known to depolarize the beta-cell. Insulin release was not affected by 1-10 mM-trichloroacetate. It is suggested that CIO4- stimulates the beta-cell by affecting the gating of voltage-controlled Ca2+ channels.
