Abstract
We have studied the effects of cholinergic agonists on the rates of insulin release and the concentrations of diacylglycerol (DAG) and intracellular free Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) in the beta-cell line MIN6. Insulin secretion was stimulated by glucose, by glibenclamide and by bombesin. In the presence of glucose, both acetylcholine (ACh) and carbachol (CCh) produced a sustained increase in the rate of insulin release which was blocked by EGTA or verapamil. The DAG content of MIN6 beta-cells was not affected by glucose. Both CCh and ACh evoked an increase in DAG which was maximal after 5 min and returned to basal after 30 min; EGTA abolished the cholinergic-induced increase in DAG. ACh caused a transient rise in [Ca2+]i which was abolished by omission of Ca2+ or by addition of devapamil. Thus, cholinergic stimulation of beta-cell insulin release is associated with changes in both [Ca2+]i and DAG. The latter change persists longer than the former and activation of protein kinase C and sensitization of the secretory process to Ca2+ may underlie the prolonged effects of cholinergic agonists on insulin release. However, a secretory response to CCh was still evident after both [Ca2+]i and DAG had returned to control values suggesting that additional mechanisms may be involved.

Abstract
Staurosporine has been used in several studies to investigate the role of protein kinase C (PKC) in secretory responses of islets of Langerhans to insulin secretagogues. We have assessed the effect of staurosporine on: [i] islet PKC activity in vitro; [ii] the stimulation of insulin secretion by nutrient secretagogues and [iii] the stimulation of protein phosphorylation and insulin secretion in electrically permeabilised islets. All experiments were carried out on rat isolated islets of Langerhans, either intact or permeabilised by high voltage discharge (3.4 kV/cm). The activity of PKC partially purified from rat islets was inhibited by staurosporine (1.6-400 nM) in a concentration-dependent manner. Staurosporine also inhibited insulin secretion stimulated by both glucose and glyceraldehyde, with maximal effects at 50 nM. After prolonged exposure of islets to the tumour-promoting phorbol ester, 4 beta phorbol myristate acetate (4 beta PMA), a procedure which depletes islet PKC activity, staurosporine still inhibited both glucose- and glyceraldehyde-stimulated insulin release. In electrically permeabilised islets, staurosporine inhibited both Ca(2+)- and cyclic AMP-stimulated protein phosphorylation and insulin secretion. These results suggest that staurosporine should not be used as a selective inhibitor of PKC in rat islets.

Abstract
This review focuses on the factors that regulate the proliferation of pancreatic islet beta-cells in vitro, and in particular on the intracellular pathways that convey the mitogenic signal into a proliferative response. Substances as diverse as nutrients, polypeptides, cytokines, adrenergic agents, lithium, phorbol esters and cyclic AMP analogs are all able to stimulate or inhibit beta-cell proliferation in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. The evidence for involvement of cyclic AMP, cyclic GMP, protein kinase C, inositol polyphosphates, GTP-binding proteins, polyamines and oncogenes is reviewed.

Abstract
Acute stimulation of protein kinase C (PKC) inhibited glucose-induced slow oscillations in cytoplasmic free Ca(2+)-concentration, [Ca2+]i, in mouse pancreatic B-cells. In PKC-depleted cells glucose induced rapid transients in [Ca2+]i, lasting for approximately 10 s, superimposed on the slow oscillations in [Ca2+]i. It was demonstrated that the transients did not occur in the absence of extracellular Ca2+. Each transient typically was preceded by a slow increase in [Ca2+]i, representing the rising phase of an ordinary glucose-induced slow oscillation, and the [Ca2+]i, immediately after a transient was lower than just before the spike. These data further emphasize the interplay between voltage-dependent Ca(2+)-channels and the phospholipase C system in the regulation of B-cell [Ca2+]i-oscillations.

Abstract
Glucose stimulation of individual pancreatic beta-cells is associated with a rise of the cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) manifested either as large amplitude oscillations (0.2-0.5/min) or as a sustained increase. Determinants for the transitions between the basal and the two stimulated states have now been studied using dual-wavelength fluorometric measurements on individual ob/ob mouse beta-cells loaded with the Ca2+ indicator Fura-2. The transition from the basal state to large amplitude oscillations was induced by raising the glucose concentration to 7 mM or above. The frequencies and shapes of the [Ca2+]i cycles remained largely unaffected when raising glucose as high as 40 mM. However, in some cells the oscillatory pattern was transformed into a sustained increase of [Ca2+]i at high glucose concentrations. Although the peak values for the oscillations exceeded the steady-state increase, the time average [Ca2+]i was higher during the latter phase. Both types of glucose-induced transitions were facilitated by the presence of 1-100 nM glucagon. Protein kinase C activation by 10 nM of the phorbol ester TPA resulted in a transformation of the glucose-induced oscillations into a sustained increase of [Ca2+]i but the levels reached were considerably lower than obtained with glucose alone. It is concluded that the glucose sensing of the individual beta-cell is based on sudden transitions between steady-state and oscillating cytoplasmic Ca2+. It is these transitions rather than alterations of the oscillatory characteristics which determine the average [Ca2+]i regulating insulin release.

Abstract
A potential role of arachidonic acid in the modulation of insulin secretion was investigated by measuring its effects on calmodulin-dependent protein kinase and protein kinase C in islet subcellular fractions. The results were interpreted in the light of arachidonic acid effects on insulin secretion from intact islets. Arachidonic acid could replace phosphatidylserine in activation of cytosolic protein kinase C (K0.5 of 10 microM) and maximum activation was observed at 50 microM arachidonate. Arachidonic acid did not affect the Ca2+ requirement of the phosphatidylserine-stimulated activity. Arachidonic acid (200 microM) inhibited (greater than 90%) calmodulin-dependent protein kinase activity (K0.5 = 50-100 microM) but modestly increased basal phosphorylation activity (no added calcium or calmodulin). Arachidonic acid inhibited glucose-sensitive insulin secretion from islets (K0.5 = 24 microM) measured in static secretion assays. Maximum inhibition (approximately 70%) was achieved at 50-100 microM arachidonic acid. Basal insulin secretion (3 mM glucose) was modestly stimulated by 100 microM arachidonic acid but in a non-saturable manner. In perifusion secretion studies, arachidonic acid (20 microM) had no effect on the first phase of glucose-induced secretion but nearly completely suppressed second phase secretion. At basal glucose (4 mM), arachidonic acid induced a modest but reproducible biphasic insulin secretion response which mimicked glucose-sensitive secretion. However, phosphorylation of an 80 kD protein substrate of protein kinase C was not increased when intact islets were incubated with arachidonic acid, suggesting that the small increases in insulin secretion seen with arachidonic acid were not mediated by protein kinase C. These data suggest that arachidonic acid generated by exposure of islets to glucose may influence insulin secretion by inhibiting the activity of calmodulin-dependent protein kinase but probably has little effect on protein kinase C activity.

Abstract
Long-term effects of the protein kinase C activating phorbol ester, TPA, on pancreatic beta-cell proliferation and insulin production were investigated. It was found that beta-cell replication and long-term insulin secretion were enhanced in TPA-treated islets. This was not accompanied by a corresponding increase in (pro)insulin biosynthesis, presumably contributing to the lowered islet insulin content. TPA also increased islet polyamine content but when this increase was prevented by blocking polyamine synthesis, DNA replication and insulin secretion remained elevated. These findings indicate that TPA stimulates beta-cell replication and insulin secretion and suggest a stimulatory role for protein kinase C, but not for polyamines, in these processes.

Abstract
Integrating flame photometry was used for measuring sodium in single pancreatic islets from ob/ob mice. Exposure to 100 microM carbachol resulted in a 25-40% increase in sodium without any effect on potassium during incubation with 0-5 mM glucose in media deficient or not in Ca2+. This action of carbachol was abolished by 10 microM atropine or by raising the glucose concentration to 20 mM. A minor increase of the steady state content of sodium occurred in the presence of 200 microM ATP or 10 nM tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA). Carbachol differed from TPA in markedly stimulating sodium accumulation after ouabain inhibition of the Na/K pump. The results indicate that muscarinic receptor activation has opposite effects to glucose in inducing a rise of the islet content of sodium. It is suggested that the cholinergic control of the endocrine pancreas involves entry of Na+ in addition to the Na+ entry mediated by protein kinase C activation of Na+/H+ countertransport.

Abstract
The effect of staurosporine, a putative inhibitor of protein kinase C (PKC), on insulin secretion induced by glucose and 4-methyl-2-oxopentanoate (KIC) was examined. In addition, the effects of staurosporine on the actions of other agonists, for which glucose acts as a conditional modifier, were also examined. At 20 nM, staurosporine caused a marked inhibition of second-phase insulin secretion, whether it was stimulated by 10 mM- or 20 mM-glucose, by 15 mM-KIC, or by carbachol or tolbutamide in islets co-perifused with 7.0 mM-glucose. In each case, the second-phase secretory response was inhibited by 70-85%. In contrast, in all cases there was no effect of staurosporine on the magnitude of the first phase of insulin secretion, nor on the time course of first-phase secretion, except when glucose alone was the secretagogue. With either 10 mM- or 20 mM-glucose, the peak of the first phase of insulin secretion was delayed. Staurosporine does not alter glucose metabolism, or the ability of glucose to activate phosphoinositide hydrolysis or to cause the translocation of alpha-PKC to the membrane. These findings support the concept that PKC activation plays an important role in fuel-induced or fuel-conditioned insulin secretion.

Abstract
Collagenase-isolated rat islets were labelled for 2 h in myo-[2-3H]inositol solution supplemented with 2.75 mM-glucose. The phorbol ester phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA; 0.1 or 1 microM) was also present in some experiments. After labelling, islets were washed and then perifused in 2.75 mM-glucose to establish basal [3H]inositol-efflux and insulin-secretory rates. Subsequently, the responses of these islets to stimulation with various agonists were assessed. Inositol phosphate accumulation was measured at the termination of the perifusion. In separate experiments, the cellular location of protein kinase C (PKC) after PMA pretreatment was measured by quantitative immunoblotting of membrane and cytosolic fractions. The following observations were made. (1) Labelling in 0.1-1 microM-PMA had no deleterious effect on total [3H]inositol incorporation during the 2 h labelling period. However, islets labelled for 2 h in 1 microM-PMA were unable to respond, in terms of increases in insulin release, to a 1 microM-PMA stimulus during the subsequent perifusion. (2) As compared with the responses of control islets labelled in 2.75 mM-glucose alone, islets labelled in the additional presence of 1 microM-PMA displayed a significant impairment in phosphoinositide (PI) hydrolysis, but an enhancement of both first-and second-phase insulin secretion, in response to subsequent 20 mM-glucose stimulation. (3) Decreasing extracellular Ca2+ level to 0.1 mM and including the Ca(2+)-channel antagonist nitrendipine (0.5 microM) along with 1 microM-PMA during the [3H]inositol-labelling period did not alter the response of the islets to the subsequent addition of 20 mM-glucose. Glucose-induced PI hydrolysis was still inhibited and 20 mM-glucose-induced insulin release was still enhanced. (4) A markedly amplified and sustained insulin-secretory response to 200 microM-tolbutamide in the presence of 2.75 mM-glucose was also obtained from 1 microM-PMA-pretreated islets. This contrasts sharply with the small and transient response to tolbutamide noted in control islets. (5) When present only during the perifusion phase of the experiments, nitrendipine (0.5 microM) abolished the amplified insulin-secretory responses to both 20 mM-glucose and 200 microM-tolbutamide noted in PMA-pretreated islets. (6) Prior labelling in 1 microM-PMA dramatically amplified the insulinotropic effect of 25 mM-K+ or 5 microM-A23187 stimulation. The amplified insulin-secretory response to K+, but not to A23187, was abolished by inclusion of nitrendipine during the perifusion.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
In isolated rat pancreatic islets, the possible involvement of protein kinase C in cholecystokinin-8-stimulated insulin secretion was investigated. In islets exposed for 24 hours to the phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol 13-acetate (500 nmol l-1), a procedure known to down-regulate islet protein kinase C-activity, the insulinotropic effect of cholecystokinin-8 (10(-7) mol l-1) was partially reduced (by 34 +/- 8%, P less than 0.001). In contrast the insulinotropic response to acute exposure to 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol 13-acetate (10(-6) mol l-1) was totally abolished (P less than 0.001), whereas the insulin response to glucose (8.3 mmol l-1) was not affected. In normal islets, the protein kinase C-inhibitor, staurosporine, inhibited 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol 13-acetate- and glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (P less than 0.01), but was without effect on cholecystokinin-8-stimulated insulin release. Furthermore, in normal islets, cholecystokinin-8 had no effect on insulin release at a low glucose level (3.3 mmol l-1). However, at this low glucose level, cholecystokinin-8 clearly potentiated insulin release induced by acute exposure to 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol 13-acetate (10(-8) -10(-6) mol l-1, P less than 0.001). This potentiating effect was abolished by the removal of extracellular Ca2+. It is concluded that the insulinotropic effect of cholecystokinin-8 in rat islets is partially mediated by the protein kinase C pathway. Furthermore, the lack of effect of cholecystokinin-8 on insulin secretion at a low glucose level might be explained by an insufficient activation of protein kinase C under these conditions.

Abstract
Insulin secretion from isolated rat islets of Langerhans is enhanced by cholinergic agonists, such as carbachol (CCh), in the presence of a stimulatory concentration of glucose. Depletion of islet protein kinase C activity by prolonged exposure to a tumour-promoting phorbol ester did not prevent the initial secretory response to CCh, but markedly reduced the duration of CCh-induced elevated secretory rates. These results suggest that the major action of PKC is in maintaining rather than initiating the insulin secretory response to cholinergic agonists.

Abstract
The role of protein kinase C (PKC) in stimulus recognition and insulin secretion was investigated after long-term (24 h) treatment of RINm5F cells with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA). Three methods revealed that PKC was no longer detectable, and PMA-induced insulin secretion was abolished. Such PKC-deficient cells displayed enhanced insulin secretion (2-6-fold) in response to vasopressin and carbachol (activating phospholipase C) as well as to D-glyceraldehyde and alanine (promoting membrane depolarization and voltage-gated Ca2+ influx). Insulin release stimulated by 1-oleoyl-2-acetylglycerol (OAG) was also greater in PKC-deficient cells. OAG caused membrane depolarization and raised the cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i), both of which were unaffected by PKC down-regulation. Except for that caused by vasopressin, the secretagogue-induced [Ca2+]i elevations were similar in control and PKC-depleted cells. The [Ca2+]i rise evoked by vasopressin was enhanced during the early phase (observed both in cell suspensions and at the single cell level) and the stimulation of diacylglycerol production was also augmented. These findings suggest more efficient activation of phospholipase C by vasopressin after PKC depletion. Electrically permeabilized cells were used to test whether the release process is facilitated after long-term PMA treatment. PKC deficiency was associated with only slightly increased responsiveness to half-maximally (2 microM) but not to maximally stimulatory Ca2+ concentrations. At 2 microM-Ca2+ vasopressin caused secretion, which was also augmented by PMA pretreatment. The difference between intact and permeabilized cells could indicate the loss in the latter of soluble factors which mediate the enhanced secretory responses. However, changes in cyclic AMP production could not explain the difference. These results demonstrate that PKC not only exerts inhibitory influences on the coupling of receptors to phospholipase C but also interferes with more distal steps implicated in insulin secretion.

Abstract
The role of protein kinase C (PKC) as a mediator of glucose-induced insulin secretion has been a subject of controversy. Glucose-induced translocation of PKC has not been reported, and the relevant PKC isoenzymes in islets have not been identified. To address these issues, we developed specific antibodies to the alpha, beta, and gamma isoenzymes of PKC. Western blots of homogenates of freshly isolated rat islets probed with these antibodies revealed that the major isoenzyme present is alpha-PKC. Islets were perifused for 15 min with either 2.75 mM glucose, 20 mM glucose, 20 mM glucose plus 30 mM mannoheptulose, 15 mM alpha-ketoisocaproate, or alpha-ketoisocaproate plus mannoheptulose. Quantitative immunoblotting of membrane and cytosol fractions showed that alpha-PKC translocated from the cytosol to the membrane in freshly isolated rat islets stimulated with either 20 mM glucose or 15 mM alpha-ketoisocaproate. Both the secretory response and the translocation of alpha-PKC were blocked by the addition of mannoheptulose, an inhibitor of glucose metabolism, in islets stimulated with glucose but not in islets stimulated with alpha-ketoisocaproate. These results support a role for alpha-PKC in mediating glucose-induced insulin secretion in pancreatic islets.

Abstract
The effects of insulin secretagogues on the cytoplasmic Mg2+ concentration ([Mg2+]i) of pancreatic beta-cells were studied in suspensions and in individual beta-cells using dual-wavelength fluorometry and the indicator mag-fura-2. Average [Mg2+]i was in the 800-900 microM range in a medium containing 3 mM glucose. When the sugar concentration was raised to 20 mM, the cells reacted with an initial lowering of [Mg2+]i followed by an increase. The sugar apparently also stimulated leakage of the Mg2+ indicator. Addition of 100 microM tolbutamide or raising the K+ concentration by 25 mM caused relatively rapid increases of [Mg2+]i. Methoxyverapamil prevented the [Mg2+]i-increasing actions of glucose, K+ and tolbutamide. The greatest change in [Mg2+]i was obtained when beta-cells were exposed to 100 microM carbachol. In this case there was a more than 10% lowering, which was reversed upon removal of the agonist. Measurements of [Mg2+]i are important not only for understanding fluctuations of this ion, but may also aid to elucidate the mechanisms involved in the regulation of cytoplasmic Ca2+.

Abstract
The evidence for the involvement of protein kinase C (PKC) in insulin secretion stimulated by glucose and Ca2(+)-mobilizing receptor agonists has been reviewed. Results of phorbol ester binding to intact cells and the measurements of the proportion of PKC associated with the membrane after cell fractionation are presented. Glucose stimulation leads to increased phorbol ester binding without causing membrane insertion of the enzyme which, however, occurs with receptor agonists. It is suggested that the rise in cytosolic Ca2+ in response to glucose favours the apposition of PKC to the membrane whereas intercalation of the enzyme requires phospholipase C-mediated generation of diacylglycerol. It is possible that this effect of glucose on PKC, although not involved in the initiation of secretion, could explain the potentiation of insulin release observed in the presence of the receptor agonists.
