Above a threshold value in excess of 5.6 mM, D-glucose increases the amount of cyclic AMP measured by radioimmunoassay in pancreatic rat islets and their surrounding incubation medium. As judged from the cyclic AMP content of islets exposed to isobutylmethylxanthine (1.0 mM), the glucose-induced increment in the rate of cyclic AMP generation represents a rapid and sustained phenomenon. The stimulant action of glucose on cyclic AMP accumulation is mimicked by L-leucine, and L-glutamine, these amino acids acting synergistically of one another. Trifluoperazine slightly decreases but fails to abolish the effect of glucose. In the absence of extracellular Ca2+, however, the cyclic AMP response to D-glucose, L-leucine and/or L-glutamine is severely impaired. These findings are compatible with the view that an increase in the generation rate of cyclic AMP participates in the process of nutrient-stimulated insulin release. This increase could be secondary to the nutrient-induced accumulation of Ca2+ in the islet cells leading to activation of adenylate cyclase by calmodulin. 相似文献

Monolayer islet cells prepared from neonatal rat pancreases were cultured in media with 5.5 mM glucose alone or further supplemented with 5 mM 3-amino-3-deoxyglucose (3A3dG) for a total of 7 days. After culture for 7 days, 3A3dG-supplementation maintained the recovery of insulin released into the medium during the last 2 days of a 7-day culture at a level 2.9 fold higher that at day 0. Similarly, the insulin content of the cells was significantly higher than the initial level at day 0 (2.8-fold) and that of the cells grown in medium with glucose alone (4.5-fold). The maximum secretory responses to glucose (2.8-16.7 mM), leucine (2.5-10 mM) and 2-ketoisocaproate (2.5-10 mM) were several times as high as the initial. Further, 3A3dG caused a selective deletion of fibroblasts mostly consisting of endocrine cells. In these monolayer cells, either the cAMP response to glucose or the cellular cAMP content were significant. In conclusion, it is suggested that the beneficial effect of 3A3dG may be associated with an increase in either the oxidative catabolism of amino acids or the activity of adenylate cyclase in the B cell. 相似文献

The early (min = 1) and late (min 45) changes in NAD(P)H fluorescence caused by alpha-D-glucose pentaacetate, beta-L-glucose pentaacetate, and beta-D-galactose pentaacetate (1.7 mM each), alone or together with either L-leucine (10.0 mM) or D-glucose (8.3 mM), were monitored in purified pancreatic B and non-B rat islet cells. Whilst D-glucose caused a rapid increase in the NAD(P)H signal in B-cells, but not so in non-B cells, alpha-D-glucose pentaacetate, but not the two other monosaccharide esters, rapidly augmented the NAD(P)H signal in both B and non-B cells. After 45 min, the NAD(P)H signal was increased by either D-glucose in both B and non-B islet cells or alpha-D-glucose pentaacetate. At this late time, beta-L-glucose pentaacetate also increased the NAD(P)H signal in B cells exposed to L-leucine. These findings emphasize the relevance of differences in the time course of D-glucose uptake by B and non-B islet cells as a determinant of rapid changes in redox state. They also provide further support for the role of intracellular Ca(2+) regulating the activity of key Ca(2+)-responsive mitochondrial dehydrogenases. Last, they reinforce the view that the effects of hexose pentaacetates upon insulin and glucagon release entail a dual modality, linked either to the catabolism of their hexose moiety or to a direct effect of the esters themselves upon a stereospecific receptor system. 相似文献

OMP (oxo-4-methylpentanoic acid) stimulates by itself a biphasic secretion of insulin whereas L-leucine requires the presence of L-glutamine. L-Glutamine is predominantly converted into GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) in rat islets and L-leucine seems to promote its metabolism in the 'GABA shunt' [Fernández-Pascual, Mukala-Nsengu-Tshibangu, Martín del Río and Tamarit-Rodríguez (2004) Biochem. J. 379, 721-729]. In the present study, we have investigated how 10 mM OMP affects L-glutamine metabolism to uncover possible differences with L-leucine that might help to elucidate whether they share a common mechanism of stimulation of insulin secretion. In contrast with L-leucine, OMP alone stimulated a biphasic insulin secretion in rat perifused islets and decreased the islet content of GABA without modifying its extracellular release irrespective of the concentration of L-glutamine in the medium. GABA was transaminated to L-leucine whose intracellular concentration did not change because it was efficiently transported out of the islet cells. The L-[U-14C]-Glutamine (at 0.5 and 10.0 mM) conversion to 14CO2 was enhanced by 10 mM OMP within 30% and 70% respectively. Gabaculine (250 microM), a GABA transaminase inhibitor, suppressed OMP-induced oxygen consumption but not L-leucine- or glucose-stimulated respiration. It also suppressed the OMP-induced decrease in islet GABA content and the OMP-induced increase in insulin release. These results support the view that OMP promotes islet metabolism in the 'GABA shunt' generating 2-oxo-glutarate, in the branched-chain alpha-amino acid transaminase reaction, which would in turn trigger GABA deamination by GABA transaminase. OMP, but not L-leucine, suppressed islet semialdehyde succinic acid reductase activity and this might shift the metabolic flux of the 'GABA shunt' from gamma-hydroxybutyrate to succinic acid production. 相似文献

Human fetal pancreatic islets were isolated from 16- to 20-week-old fetuses by a collagenase technique and cultured 48 hr in RPMI 1640 containing 10% human adult serum and unlabeled 0 to 5 micrograms cyclosporine A (CsA)/ml. Insulin secretory capacity of human fetal islets was expressed as a fractional stimulatory ratio FSR = F2/F1 of the fractional secretion rates during two successive 1 hr static incubations first with 2 mM glucose (F1) to stabilize secretion followed by maximal stimulus, i.e., 25 mM glucose plus 10 mM L-leucine and 10 mM L-arginine (F2). Unlabeled CsA at the above concentrations had no significant effects on the insulin secretory capacity expressed by FSR-values. Studies of net uptake of 3H-CsA by islets cultured for varying periods up to 40 hr and expressed as picomole 3H-CsA per picomole islet insulin content demonstrated that uptake rate was slow and did not reach isotopic equilibrium over the 40 hr of culture. When isolated fetal islets were cultured for 48 hr in the presence of 3H-CsA and varying concentrations of unlabeled CsA it was found during two successive 1 hr static incubations that fetal islets secrete insulin concomitantly with 3H-CsA following maximal stimulus for secretion. An optimal secretory molar ratio of 3H-CsA to insulin of 4.0 +/- 1.3 (n = 7) was found after islets were cultured 48 hr in the presence of a saturating 2.128 micrograms 3H-CsA per milliliter culture medium. In three successive 30-min static incubations of 3H-CsA loaded islets, first with low glucose, followed by high glucose plus L-arginine and L-leucine, and finally with high glucose plus L-arginine and L-leucine and 10 mM theophylline, the proportional fractional secretion rates of insulin and 3H-CsA were of the same magnitude. It is concluded that human fetal pancreatic islets during 48 hr of culture in the presence of pharmacologically relevant concentrations of CsA can internalize the drug, which is compartmentalized and concomitantly secreted with insulin following maximal stimuli. Transplanted human fetal islets utilized as delivering units for CsA could be beneficial for the induction of immunotolerance to allografted fetal islets. 相似文献

Pancreatic endocrine cells of the neonatal rat cultured in medium with 5.5 mM glucose for 7 days showed no response to glucose. By contrast, the supplementation of the medium with 1.0 mM 2-deoxyglucose or with 0.1-5.0 mM 2-deoxy-2-fluoroglucose maintained the capacity of glucose-induced insulin release and biosynthesis, and the recovery of insulin in cells at day 7 at levels significantly higher than in basal medium; the highest responses were recorded for 1.0 mM deoxysugars. Moreover, the addition of 1.0 mM deoxysugars caused a selective deletion of fibroblasts and yielded monolayers mostly consisted of endocrine cells at the end of the culture study period. In these monolayer cells, the stimulating level of c-AMP release was significantly higher than the basal. On the other hand, the in vitro function of A cells in culture was also better preserved in media with 1.0 mM deoxysugars. 相似文献

D-fructose (10 mM) augments, in rat pancreatic islets, insulin release evoked by 10 mM D-glucose. Even in the absence of D-glucose, D-fructose (100 mM) displays a positive insulinotropic action. It was now examined whether the insulinotropic action of D-fructose could be attributed to an increase in the ATP content of islet cells. After 30-60 min incubation in the presence of D-glucose and/or D-fructose, the ATP and ADP content was measured by bioluminescence in either rat isolated pancreatic islets (total ATP and ADP) or the supernatant of dispersed rat pancreatic islet cells exposed for 30 s to digitonine (cytosolic ATP and ADP). D-fructose (10 and 100 mM) was found to cause a concentration-related decrease in the total ATP and ADP content and ATP/ADP ratio below the basal values found in islets deprived of exogenous nutrient. Moreover, in the presence of 10 mM D-glucose, which augmented both the total ATP content and ATP/ADP ratio above basal value, D-fructose (10 mM) also lowered these two parameters. The cytosolic ATP/ADP ratio, however, was increased in the presence of D-glucose and/or D-fructose. Under the present experimental conditions, a sigmoidal relationship was found between such a cytosolic ATP/ADP ratio and either (86)Rb net uptake by dispersed islet cells or insulin release from isolated islets. These data provide, to our knowledge, the first example of a dramatic dissociation between changes in total ATP content or ATP/ADP ratio and insulin release in pancreatic islets exposed to a nutrient secretagogue. Nevertheless, the cationic and insulinotropic actions of d-glucose and/or d-fructose were tightly related to the cytosolic ATP/ADP ratio. 相似文献

The pancreatic tumor cells (In 111) derived from BK virus-induced insulinoma of Syrian golden hamsters were maintained in culture for several passages and were studied for their insulin secretory ability under various stimulatory conditions. Insulin release was not increased by D-glucose stimulation (27.8 mM), while dibutyryl cyclic AMP (1 mM), theophylline (1 mM), 3-isobutyl-l-methylxanthine (0.1 mM) and elevation of medium calcium from 0.5 to 2.7 mM stimulated insulin release 2.5- to 4-fold. There was a concomitant increase of medium cyclic AMP with addition of theophylline. Streptozotocin (2 mM) treatment for 48 hours significantly reduced insulin release, while alloxan (2 mM), had no inhibitory effect on insulin release. The results indicate that while in vitro-maintained islet tumor cells, In 111, have a cyclic AMP-mediated process involved in insulin secretion analogous to normal beta cells, these cells lack the ability to recognize glucose as an insulin secretagogue probably due to a defect in the cell membrane, though the possibility of alteration in glucose metabolism cannot be fully excluded. 相似文献

The influence of insulin and 2-deoxy-glucose (D-glucose) on the intracellular protozoan Toxoplasma gondii replication in 3T3-L1 cells was investigated. Insulin and D-glucose had a dose-responsive mitogenic effect on intracellular T. gondii replication and development in 3T3-L1 cells. Insulin concentrations between 10(-2) and 10(-1) microg/ml combination of 4.5 g/l D-glucose in DMEM medium gave maximum stimulus to T. gondii replication. The number of tachyzoites increased rapidly, with the growth peaking typically on day 3 or 4 of culture, and then declining quickly. However, insulin, in the absence of d-glucose, had comparably less effect on T. gondii growth than two of their combination. d-glucose concentrations significantly affected the tachyzoite replication and appear to be indispensable for maintaining the host 3T3-L1 cells. 相似文献

Monolayer cultures of pancreatic B cells of 3-week-old rats were kept for 7 days in medium with 5.5 mM glucose plus 1 mM 2-deoxy-2-fluoroglucose or for 4 days in medium with 5.5 mM glucose alone, following exposure for 3 days to a medium with 5.5 mM glucose plus 5 microM iodoacetic acid. Addition of the deoxyglucose or iodoacetic acid caused a selective deletion of fibroblasts, yielding large clusters that consisted mostly of islet cells. At the early stage of culture in medium with 16.7 mM glucose (day 4), the response of B cells to 16.7 mM glucose included only a small rise in insulin secreted during the first and second phases, and that to 10 mM of leucine and 2-ketoisocaproate was monophasic. After culturing for 7 days, these three secretagogues markedly stimulated insulin secretion by B cells cultured in both media, with a significant rise in secondary phase secretion. However, quantitative relationships differed. Thus, the response (total insulin secreted during a 30-min stimulation) of B cells in 2-deoxy-2-fluoroglucose to glucose was 155%, to leucine 185% and 2-ketoisocaproate 126% of that of cells exposed to iodoacetic acid. In conclusion, the present results suggest that B cells of 3-week-old rat may be immature, and that medium containing 2-deoxy-2-fluoroglucose is beneficial to continued maturation of the response in vitro. 相似文献

1. 3-Phenylpyruvate caused a dose-related stimulation of insulin release from rat pancreatic islets deprived of exogenous nutrient or incubated in the presence of 5.6 or 8.3 mM-D-glucose. 2. 3-Phenylpyruvate inhibited insulin release evoked by high concentrations of D-glucose (16.7 or 27.8 mM) or 4-methyl-2-oxopentanoate (10.0 mM). This inhibitory effect appeared to be attributable to impairment of 2-oxo-acid transport into the mitochondria, with resulting inhibition of D-glucose, pyruvate or 4-methyl-2-oxopentanoate oxidation. 3. 3-Phenylpyruvate failed to affect the oxidation of, and secretory response to, L-leucine, and did not augment insulin release evoked by a non-metabolized analogue of the latter amino acid. 4. L-Glutamine augmented 3-phenylpyruvate-induced insulin release. The release of insulin evoked by the combination of 3-phenylpyruvate and L-glutamine represented a sustained phenomenon, abolished in the absence of extracellular Ca2+ or the presence of menadione and potentiated by theophylline. 5. Whether in the presence or in the absence of L-glutamine, the secretory response to 3-phenylpyruvate coincided with an increase in O2 uptake, a decrease in K+ conductance, a stimulation of both Ca2+ inflow and 45Ca2+ net uptake and an increase in cyclic AMP content. 6. It is concluded that the release of insulin induced by 3-phenylpyruvate displays features classically encountered when the B-cell is stimulated by nutrient secretagogues, and is indeed attributable to an increase in nutrient catabolism. 相似文献

Islets isolated from lactating rats, as compared to islets from non-lactating rats, release less insulin when incubated in the absence of exogenous nutrient or presence of either D-glucose (11.1 mM) or the association of L-leucine and L-glutamine (10.0 mM each). The insulin content of the islets is not different in lactating and non-lactating rats. The volume density of the dark granules in the beta-cells is not at variance in both groups. However the volume density of the light (pale) granules is significantly lower in the lactating rats. The reduced amount of light granules is in keeping with the reduced secretory capacity of the beta-cells from lactating rats. 相似文献

The effect of 2-deoxy-D-glucose on maintenance in culture of B cells of the neonatal rat was examined by supplementation of Medium 199 containing 5.5 mM glucose with 1 mM 2-deoxy-D-glucose. Islets maintained in medium with 5.5 mM glucose (basal medium) for 7 d underwent remarkable decreases in glucose sensitivity, and the levels of insulin in the medium dropped. By contrast, addition of 2-deoxy-D-glucose promoted a higher insulin content in medium and an increase in the glucose-induced insulin release and biosynthesis. Moreover, the addition of the deoxysugar caused a selective deletion of fibroblasts and prevented the deterioration of islet cells in basal medium, yielding clusters mostly consisting of islet cells at the end of culture. 相似文献

Monolayer cultures of the pancreas of the neonatal rat were maintained in TCM 199 medium, supplemented with 5.5 mM glucose, with or without 5 mM 3-amino-3-deoxyglucose, and perifused to examine the changes which occurred in the insulin secretory response during culture. On day 0, B cells showed a monophasic insulin secretion in response to 16.7 mM glucose, whereas in the presence of 200 nM 12-o-tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate, 40 microM lysophosphatidylcholine, 10 microM forskolin or 1 mM 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine, the same dose of glucose stimulated insulin secretion in a biphasic fashion. Under culture conditions without 3-amino-3-deoxyglucose, the response to glucose totally disappeared after 7 days, and that to 10 mM of either leucine or 2-ketoisocaproate was as low as that of day 0. In contrast, B cells that had been cultured for 7 days in medium with 3-amino-3-deoxyglucose showed an adult-like biphasic pattern in response to glucose. When stimulated by glucose at a linear gradient concentration running from 0 to 20 mM, the B cells responded to increasing concentrations of glucose in a dose-dependent fashion. Further, the response of cAMP to glucose was increased by adding forskolin or 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine, which also enhanced the secretion of insulin under either a step-wise or slow-rise stimulation with glucose. The effect of 12-o-tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate was also outstanding. Likewise, the addition of either leucine or 2-keptoisocaproate induced a striking increase in the secondary phase secretion as well as promoting the rates of glutamine oxidation within the cells. In conclusion, it is suggested that the high response to a wider variety of stimuli may represent the reaction of neonatal B cells to the cultural milieu rather than a process of physiological development, and these effects exhibited by 3-amino-3-deoxyglucose would be related to a change in the constituents of glycoproteins in the cells. 相似文献

To clarify the insulin-releasing mechanism, we studied insulin release and the efflux of [32P]phosphate by glucose at 0.1 mM/min of gradient level or at 16.7 mM, and other metabolism in islets of rat Langerhans. When treated with 1 mM iodoacetic acid (IAA) plus the anomers of D-glucose at 2.8 mM for 6 min at 37 degrees C, islets elicited insulin at half the control rate under the step-wise stimulation by glucose and at the same rate as the control under the slow-rise stimulation by glucose. Using islets treated with IAA plus the alpha anomer at 16.7 mM, the step-wise stimulation secreted insulin at half a rate of the control and the slow-rise stimulation at the rate lower than the control, which was not significantly different from the control rate. Treatment with IAA plus the beta anomer at 16.7 mM inhibited insulin release under both types of stimulations by glucose. The step-wise stimulation caused the same rapid efflux of [32P]phosphate from IAA-treated islets as from the control islets, except for islets treated with IAA plus the beta anomer at 16.7 mM. The rate of glucose utilization in islets was inhibited by all IAA-treatments to the same extent, being merely half the control rate. Treatments with IAA plus the anomers at 16.7 mM significantly reduced the formation of [3H]-cAMP and the activity of protein phosphokinase in islets, while in the presence of the anomers at 2.8 mM IAA produced no significant effect. Neither IAA-treatments altered the uptake of 45Ca and the ATP content in islets. The uptake of [14C]IAA was significantly enhanced by the presence of the beta anomer at 16.7 mM to two times the control level. On the basis of these results, we suggested that the B cell might contain both glucoreceptors and rate-sensors of glucose controlling insulin release and the former might be less sensitive to IAA as compared with the latter. 相似文献

The culture for 7 days in medium with 5.5 mM glucose and 1 mM 2-deoxy-D-glucose enhanced the glucose sensitivity of neonatal rat B cells, and even stimulated their growth in vitro. Also, 2-deoxy-D-glucose supplementation maintained insulin release evoked by leucine and 2-ketoisocaproate from B cells at day 7 at levels several times higher than at day 1. The effect of leucine was greatly augmented by glutamine, whereas that of the 2-keto acid remained almost unchanged irrespective of the presence of glutamine. These results suggest an increase in oxidative catabolism of medium nutrients in B cells grown in medium with 2-deoxy-D-glucose for 7 days, and such metabolic changes may promote the growth of B cells in vitro. 相似文献

Magnesium and phosphate enrichment of culture medium stimulates the proliferation of epidermal cells from newborn and adult mice 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
The proliferation and differentiation of mouse epidermal cells can be sequentially analyzed by modification of extracellular calcium. Newborn cells cultured in low calcium medium (less than 0.1 mM) proliferate as a monolayer and maintain a typical basal cell phenotype in culture but have a limited proliferative capacity and short lifespan. Elevation of the magnesium content of the culture medium from 1 to 5 mM stimulated the proliferation of newborn mouse (1-3 days old) keratinocytes. Maximal DNA synthesis rates, as determined on day 5 of culture, were up to 2-3-fold higher in the magnesium-enriched cultures. Exposure to high magnesium caused 3-4-fold increases in the DNA content of newborn keratinocyte cultures, and extended the confluent phase of epidermal cell growth to over 10 days. Other divalent cations (strontium, copper, zinc, nickel, beryllium, and barium) did not improve keratinocyte growth in culture. Keratinocytes from the tail skin of adult (3 months old) mice displayed an absolute requirement for high phosphate in the culture medium. The medium containing an optimal (10 mM) phosphate concentration prevented the cell detachment caused by the standard low (1 mM) phosphate medium, and in combination with an elevated magnesium content (10-15 mM) it markedly increased both DNA synthesis rates and DNA content of the adult cell cultures. Optimally growing, newborn or adult cultures contained less cells in the G1 phase of the cell cycle and more cells in S and G2 +M. The addition of phosphate and magnesium per se did not induce keratinocyte differentiation and did not interfere with the high calcium (1 mM)-induced differentiation. 相似文献

The present study demonstrates the effect of glucosamine on the functional maturation of cultured B cells of the neonatal rat. When B cells had been maintained at a physiological concentration (5.5 mM) of glucose for 7 days, a drop in the stimulatory effect of 16.7 mM glucose on insulin release and biosynthesis was observed together with a reduced insulin content. By contrast, the sensitivity of glucose-induced insulin release was increased after one week of culture with 5.5 mM glucose and 5 mM glucosamine. And both the insulin content and glucose-induced insulin biosynthesis also remained at the same level as observed at the first day of culture with 5.5 mM glucose alone. In summary, it was suggested that glucosamine-supplemented culture may result in the transition of B cells of neonatal rat from a poor glucose sensitivity to adult-type response of insulin release. 相似文献
