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.
