Abstract:The roles of protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms in cholinergic potentiation of glucose-induced insulin secretion were investigated in rat pancreatic islets. Western-blot analysis showed the presence of PKC-alpha, betaII, delta, epsilon, eta, and zeta, but not PKC-betaI, gamma, or iota, in the islets. Carbachol (CCh) caused translocations of PKC-alpha, betaII, delta, and epsilon from the cytosol to the plasma membrane. CCh facilitated 7-mM glucose-induced insulin secretion from isolated rat islets. The CCh-stimulated insulin secretion was significantly suppressed by the generic PKC inhibitor chelerythrine. In contrast, Go 6976, an inhibitor of conventional PKC isoforms, had no effect on the insulin secretion stimulated by CCh, although it significantly inhibited that induced by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate. These results suggest that the novel PKC isoforms activated by CCh, i.e., PKC-delta and/or epsilon, participate in the stimulatory effect of CCh on insulin secretion.
