Long acting GLP-1 analog liraglutide ameliorates skeletal muscle atrophy in rodents. Metabolism 2020; 103:154044. [PMID: 31812628 DOI: 10.1016/j.metabol.2019.154044] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2019] [Revised: 10/28/2019] [Accepted: 12/02/2019] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Skeletal muscle atrophy is characterized by muscle wasting with partial or complete functional loss. Skeletal muscle atrophy severely affects the quality of life and currently, there is no available therapy except for spinal muscular atrophy. OBJECTIVE Drug repositioning is a promising strategy that reduces cost and time due to prior availability of safety and toxicity details. Here we investigated myogenic and anti-atrophy effects of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analog liraglutide. METHODS We used several in vitro atrophy models in C2C12 cells and in vivo models in Sprague Dawley rats to study Liraglutide's efficacy. Western blotting was used to assess cAMP-dependent signaling pathways specifically activated by liraglutide. Therapeutic efficacy of liraglutide was investigated by histological analysis of transverse muscle sections followed by morphometry. Myogenic capacity was investigated by immunoblotting for myogenic factors. RESULTS Liraglutide induced myogenesis in C2C12 myoblasts through GLP-1 receptor via a cAMP-dependent complex network of signaling events involving protein kinase A, phosphoinositide 3-kinase/protein kinase B, p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase and extracellular signal-regulated kinase. Liraglutide imparted protection against freeze injury, denervation, and dexamethasone -induced skeletal muscle atrophy and improved muscular function in all these models. In a therapeutic model, liraglutide restored myofibrillar architecture in ovariectomy-induced atrophy. Anti-atrophy actions of liraglutide involved suppression of atrogene expression and enhancement in expression of myogenic factors. CONCLUSION Liraglutide imparted protection and restored myofibrillar architecture in diverse models of muscle atrophy. Given its potent anti-atrophy, and recently reported osteoanabolic effects, we propose liraglutide's clinical evaluation in skeletal muscle atrophy and musculoskeletal disorders associated with diverse pathologies.

Abstract
The hyper-activation of the phosphoinositide (PI) 3-kinase signaling pathway is a hallmark of many cancers and overgrowth syndromes, and as a result, there has been intense interest in the development of drugs that target the various isoforms of PI 3-kinase. Given the key role PI 3-kinases play in many normal cell functions, there is significant potential for the disruption of essential cellular functions by PI 3-kinase inhibitors in normal tissues; so-called on-target drug toxicity. It is, therefore, no surprise that progress within the clinical development of PI 3-kinase inhibitors as single-agent anti-cancer therapies has been slowed by the difficulty of identifying a therapeutic window. The aim of this review is to place the cellular, tissue and whole-body effects of PI 3-kinase inhibition in the context of understanding the potential for dose limiting on-target toxicities and to introduce possible strategies to overcome these.

Abstract
The RNaseA superfamily member Angiogenin (ANG) is a secreted protein involved in neovascularization, cell proliferation and stress response. Dysregulation of ANG expression is found in many cancers with poor prognosis and mutations in ANG are associated with neurodegenerative diseases. While the uptake and nuclear translocation of ANG is relatively well characterised, little is known about how it reaches the plasma membrane and its mode of secretion. We generated SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cell lines constitutively expressing wild type (WT) Hemagglutinin (HA) epitope tagged mouse Ang1 (mAng1), and two amyotrophic lateral sclerosis associated ANG variants (C39W and K40I). Herein, we show that these cell lines secrete mAng1 into the culture media. Using small molecule inhibitors we probed the route taken between the endoplasmic reticulum and trans-Golgi network during secretion and have characterised it as COPII and microtubule dependent. In addition, we show that disruption by the PI3-kinase inhibitor wortmannin of the later stages of transit to the plasma membrane leads to mAng1 trafficking to lysosomal compartments. This suggests an autophagy dependent regulation of secretion.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Phosphatidylinositol-3-OH kinase (PI3K) signalling in the endocrine pancreas contributes to glycaemic control. However, the mechanism by which PI3K modulates insulin secretion from the pancreatic beta cell is poorly understood. Thus, our objective was two-fold; to determine the signalling pathway by which acute PI3K inhibition enhances glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) and to examine the role of this pathway in islets from type-2 diabetic (T2D) donors. METHODS Isolated islets from mice and non-diabetic or T2D human donors, or INS 832/13 cells, were treated with inhibitors of PI3K and/or phosphodiesterases (PDEs). The expression of PI3K-C2β was knocked down using siRNA. We measured insulin release, single-cell exocytosis, intracellular Ca(2+) responses ([Ca(2+)]i) and Ca(2+) channel currents, intracellular cAMP concentrations ([cAMP]i), and activation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA) and protein kinase B (PKB/AKT). RESULTS The non-specific PI3K inhibitor wortmannin amplifies GSIS, raises [cAMP]i and activates PKA, but is without effect in T2D islets. Direct inhibition of specific PDE isoforms demonstrates a role for PDE3 (in humans and mice) and PDE8 (in mice) downstream of PI3K, and restores glucose-responsiveness of T2D islets. We implicate a role for the Class II PI3K catalytic isoform PI3K-C2β in this effect by limiting beta cell exocytosis. CONCLUSIONS PI3K limits GSIS via PDE3 in human islets. While inhibition of p110α or PIK-C2β signalling per se, may promote nutrient-stimulated insulin release, we now suggest that this signalling pathway is perturbed in islets from T2D donors.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes is a complex disease. It results from a failure of the body to maintain energy homoeostasis. Multicellular organisms have evolved complex strategies to preserve a relatively stable internal nutrient environment, despite fluctuations in external nutrient availability. This complex strategy involves the co-ordinated responses of multiple organs to promote storage or mobilization of energy sources according to the availability of nutrients and cellular bioenergetics needs. The endocrine pancreas plays a central role in these processes by secreting insulin and glucagon. When this co-ordinated effort fails, hyperglycaemia and hyperlipidaemia develops, characterizing a state of metabolic imbalance and ultimately overt diabetes. Although diabetes is most likely a collection of diseases, scientists are starting to identify genetic components and environmental triggers. Genome-wide association studies revealed that by and large, gene variants associated with type 2 diabetes are implicated in pancreatic β-cell function, suggesting that the β-cell may be the weakest link in the chain of events that results in diabetes. Thus, it is critical to understand how environmental cues affect the β-cell. Phosphoinositides are important 'decoders' of environmental cues. As such, these lipids have been implicated in cellular responses to a wide range of growth factors, hormones, stress agents, nutrients and metabolites. Here we will review some of the well-established and potential new roles for phosphoinositides in β-cell function/dysfunction and discuss how our knowledge of phosphoinositide signalling could aid in the identification of potential strategies for treating or preventing type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS Phosphatidylinositol 3-OH kinases (PI3Ks) regulate beta cell mass, gene transcription, and function, although the contribution of the specific isoforms is unknown. As reduced type 1A PI3K signalling is thought to contribute to impaired insulin secretion, we investigated the role of the type 1A PI3K catalytic subunits α and β (p110α and -β) in insulin granule recruitment and exocytosis in rodent and human islets. METHODS The p110α and p110β subunits were inhibited pharmacologically or by small hairpin (sh)RNA-mediated knockdown, and were directly infused or overexpressed in mouse and human islets, beta cells and INS-1 832/13 cells. Glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS), single-cell exocytosis, Ca(2+) signalling, plasma membrane granule localisation, and actin density were monitored. RESULTS Inhibition or knockdown of p110α increased GSIS. This was not due to altered Ca(2+) responses, depolymerisation of cortical actin or increased cortical granule density, but to enhanced Ca(2+)-dependent exocytosis. Intracellular infusion of recombinant PI3Kα (p110α/p85β) blocked exocytosis. Conversely, knockdown (but not pharmacological inhibition) of p110β blunted GSIS, reduced cortical granule density and impaired exocytosis. Exocytosis was rescued by direct intracellular infusion of recombinant PI3Kβ (p110β/p85β) even when p110β catalytic activity was inhibited. Conversely, both the wild-type p110β and a catalytically inactive mutant directly facilitated exocytosis. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION Type 1A PI3K isoforms have distinct and opposing roles in the acute regulation of insulin secretion. While p110α acts as a negative regulator of beta cell exocytosis and insulin secretion, p110β is a positive regulator of insulin secretion through a mechanism separate from its catalytic activity.

Abstract
Neprilysin contributes to free fatty acid (FFA)-induced cellular dysfunction in nonislet tissues in type 2 diabetes. Here, we show for the first time that with prolonged FFA exposure, islet neprilysin is upregulated and this is associated with reduced insulin pre-mRNA and ATP levels, oxidative/nitrative stress, impaired potassium and calcium channel activities, and decreased glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS). Genetic ablation of neprilysin specifically protects against FFA-induced impairment of calcium influx and GSIS in vitro and in vivo but does not ameliorate other FFA-induced defects. Importantly, adenoviral overexpression of neprilysin in islets cultured without FFA reproduces the defects in both calcium influx and GSIS, suggesting that upregulation of neprilysin per se mediates insulin secretory dysfunction and that the mechanism for protection conferred by neprilysin deletion involves prevention of reduced calcium influx. Our findings highlight the critical nature of calcium signaling for normal insulin secretion and suggest that interventions to inhibit neprilysin may improve β-cell function in obese humans with type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
In glucose-induced insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells, a population of insulin granules fuses with the plasma membrane without the typical docking process (newcomer granule fusions), however, its mechanism is unclear. In this study, we investigated the PI3K signaling pathways involved in the upregulation of newcomer granule fusions. Acute treatment with the class IA-selective PI3K inhibitors, PIK-75 and PI-103, enhanced the glucose-induced insulin secretion. Total internal reflection fluorescent microscopy revealed that the PI3K inhibitors increased the fusion events from newcomer granules. We developed a new system for transfection into pancreatic islets and demonstrated the usefulness of this system in order for evaluating the effect of transfected genes on the glucose-induced secretion in primary cultured pancreatic islets. Using this transfection system together with a series of constitutive active mutants, we showed that the PI3K-3-phosphoinositide dependent kinase-1 (PDK1)-Akt pathway mediated the potentiation of insulin secretion. The Akt inhibitor also enhanced the glucose-induced insulin secretion in parallel with the upregulation of newcomer granule fusions, probably via increased motility of intracellular insulin granules. These data suggest that the PI3K-PDK1-Akt pathway plays a significant role in newcomer granule fusions, probably through an alteration of the dynamics of the intracellular insulin granules.

Abstract
Neurotensin (NT), an intestinal peptide secreted from N cells in the small bowel, regulates a variety of physiological functions of the gastrointestinal tract, including secretion, gut motility, and intestinal growth. The class IA phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) family, which comprised of p110 catalytic (α, β and δ) and p85 regulatory subunits, has been implicated in the regulation of hormone secretion from endocrine cells. However, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. In particular, the role of PI3K in intestinal peptide secretion is not known. Here, we show that PI3K catalytic subunit, p110α, negatively regulates NT secretion in vitro and in vivo. We demonstrate that inhibition of p110α, but not p110β, induces NT release in BON, a human endocrine cell line, which expresses NT mRNA and produces NT peptide in a manner analogous to N cells, and QGP-1, a pancreatic endocrine cell line that produces NT peptide. In contrast, overexpression of p110α decreases NT secretion. Consistently, p110α-inhibition increases plasma NT levels in mice. To further delineate the mechanisms contributing to this effect, we demonstrate that inhibition of p110α increases NT granule trafficking by up-regulating α-tubulin acetylation; NT secretion is prevented by overexpression of HDAC6, an α-tubulin deacetylase. Moreover, ras-related protein Rab27A (a small G protein) and kinase D-interacting substrate of 220 kDa (Kidins220), which are associated with NT granules, play a negative and positive role, respectively, in p110α-inhibition-induced NT secretion. Our findings identify the critical role and novel mechanisms for the PI3K signaling pathway in the control of intestinal hormone granule transport and release.

Abstract
The secretion of insulin from the pancreatic beta-cell must be commensurate to satisfy the insulin requirements of the organism. This cell has a great flexibility to meet these requirements which are increased not only by the ingestion of nutrients (increase of plasma glucose) but also by the sensitivity of target tissues to insulin as well. The insulin secretion is a complex biochemical event regulated by a host of potential second messenger molecules acting alone or in concert. These events include the cation calcium, which gains access to the beta-cell via the opening of voltage-regulated channels, cAMP and phosphoinositide-derived second messenger molecules, generated as a consequence of phospholipase C (PLC) activation. In this review, we focused on phosphoinositides, PLC/Phosphokinase C (PKC) and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) cascade in the regulation of insulin secretion. We also described our studies on the mechanism of the beta-cell desensitization using perifused islets. It is suggested that a failure of the signaling events contribute to the pathogenesis of diabetes in which the beta-cell can no longer secrete the required amounts of insulin. It has been observed that chronic exposure to high glucose desensitizes the beta-cells to subsequent stimulation. We suggested that the failure of PLC activation can be attributed in the impairment of insulin secretion by chronic sustained glucose exposure. It may contribute to the vicious circle of impaired insulin secretion leading up to diabetes.

Abstract
Wortmannin, an inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, was systemically infused during a hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp to investigate its effects in vivo. Rats were infused under anesthesia with saline, 10 or 20 mU.min-1.kg-1 insulin, wortmannin (1 microg.min-1.kg-1)+saline, or wortmannin+insulin (10 mU.min-1.kg-1); wortmannin was present for 1 h before and throughout the 2-h clamp. Femoral blood flow (FBF), glucose infusion rate to maintain euglycemia (GIR), glucose appearance (Ra), glucose disappearance (Rd), capillary recruitment by 1-methylxanthine metabolism (MXD), hindleg glucose uptake (HLGU), liver, muscle, and aorta Akt phosphorylation (P-Akt/Akt), and plasma insulin concentrations were determined. Plasma insulin increased from 410+/-49 to 1,680+/-430 and 5,060+/-230 pM with 10 and 20 mU.min-1.kg-1 insulin, respectively. Insulin (10 and 20 mU.min-1.kg-1) increased FBF, MXD, GIR, Rd, and HLGU as well as liver, muscle, and aorta P-Akt/Akt and decreased Ra (all P<0.05). Wortmannin alone increased plasma insulin to 5,450+/-770 pM and increased Ra, Rd, HLGU, and muscle P-Akt/Akt without effect on blood glucose, FBF, MXD liver, or aorta P-Akt/Akt. Wortmannin blocked FBF, MXD, and liver P-Akt/Akt increases from 10 mU.min-1.kg-1 insulin. Comparison of wortmannin+10 mU.min-1.kg-1 insulin and 20 mU.min-1.kg-1 insulin alone (both at approximately 5,000 pM PI) showed that wortmannin fully blocked the changes in FBF and Ra and partly those of GIR, Ra, Rd, HLGU, and muscle P-AKT/Akt. In summary, wortmannin in vivo increases plasma insulin and fully inhibits insulin-mediated effects in liver and aorta and partially those of muscle, where the latter may result from inhibition of insulin-mediated increases in blood flow and capillary recruitment.

Abstract
Both neurotransmitter release and insulin secretion occur via regulated exocytosis and share a variety of similar regulatory mechanisms. It has been suggested that Src family tyrosine kinases inhibit neurotransmitter release from neuronal cells (H. Ohnishi, S. Yamamori, K. Ono, K. Aoyagi, S. Kondo, and M. Takahashi. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 98: 10930-10935, 2001). Thus the potential role of Src family kinases in the regulation of insulin secretion was investigated in this study. Two structurally different inhibitors of Src family kinases, SU-6656 and PP2, but not the inactive compound, PP3, enhanced Ca2+-induced insulin secretion in both rat pancreatic islets and INS-1 cells in a concentration-dependent and time-dependent manner. Furthermore, Src family kinase-mediated insulin secretion appears to be dependent on elevated intracellular Ca2+ and independent of glucose metabolism, the ATP-dependent K+ channel, adenylyl cyclase, classical PKC isoforms, extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2, and insulin synthesis. The sites of action for Src family kinases seem to be distal to the elevation of intracellular Ca2+ level. These results indicate that one or more Src family tyrosine kinases exert a tonic inhibitory role on Ca2+-dependent insulin secretion.

Abstract
We recently showed that phosphoinositide-3-kinase-gamma-deficient (PI3Kgamma-/-) mice have increased cardiac contractility without changes in heart size compared with control mice (ie, PI3Kgamma+/+ or PI3Kgamma+/-). In this study, we show that PI3Kgamma-/- cardiomyocytes have elevated Ca2+ transient amplitudes with abbreviated decay kinetics compared with control under field-stimulation and voltage-clamp conditions. When Ca2+ transients were eliminated with high Ca2+ buffering, L-type Ca2+ currents (I(Ca,L)), K+ currents, and action potential duration (APD) were not different between the groups, whereas, in the presence of Ca2+ transients, Ca2+-dependent phase of I(Ca,L) inactivation was abbreviated and APD at 90% repolarization was prolonged in PI3Kgamma-/- mice. Excitation-contraction coupling (ECC) gain, sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ load, and SR Ca(2+) release fluxes measured as Ca2+ spikes, were also increased in PI3Kgamma-/- cardiomyocytes without detectable changes in Ca2+ spikes kinetics. The cAMP inhibitor Rp-cAMP eliminated enhanced ECC and SR Ca2+ load in PI3Kgamma-/- without effects in control myocytes. On the other hand, the beta-adrenergic receptor agonist isoproterenol increased I(Ca,L) and Ca2+ transient equally by approximately 2-fold in both PI3Kgamma-/- and PI3Kgamma+/- cardiomyocytes. Our results establish that PI3Kgamma reduces cardiac contractility in a highly compartmentalized manner by inhibiting cAMP-mediated SR Ca2+ loading without directly affecting other major modulators of ECC, such as AP and I(Ca,L).

Abstract
The present study examined the effects of exogenous insulin on C-peptide release in relation to islet activities of neural constitutive nitric oxide synthase (ncNOS) and inducible NOS (iNOS). The dose-response curves for glucose-stimulated insulin and C-peptide release from isolated islets were practically identical: 0.05-0.1 nmol/l insulin stimulated, 1-100 nmol/l had no effect, whereas concentrations >/=250 nmol/l ("high insulin"), inhibited C-peptide release. Both the stimulatory and inhibitory effects were abolished by the phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase inhibitor wortmannin. Addition of a NOS inhibitor partially reversed the inhibitory action of high insulin, but had no effect on the stimulatory action of low insulin (0.1 nmol/l). Moreover, high insulin markedly increased islet ncNOS activity and induced a strong iNOS activity. As shown biochemically and with confocal microscopy, the stimulatory action of high insulin on NOS activities and the associated inhibition of C-peptide release were reversed by raising cyclic AMP through addition of either glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) or dibutyryl cyclic AMP (Bt(2)cAMP) to the incubated islets. We conclude that the positive feedback mechanisms of action of insulin are independent of islet NOS activities and remain unclear. The negative feedback action of insulin, however, can be explained by its ability to stimulate both islet ncNOS activity and the expression and activity of iNOS. The effects on iNOS are most likely transduced through phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase and are counteracted by raising islet cyclic AMP levels.

Abstract
Since inhibition of protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTPase) activity by peroxovanadate (pV) affects insulin release and phosphorylation of pancreatic islet proteins in the insulin signaling pathway, we studied whether pV also modulates glucagon release. At 3.3mM glucose, pV (0.1-1mM) enhanced glucagon release in a dose-dependent manner in islets of normal Wistar and diabetic GK rats. Arginine-stimulated glucagon responses were higher in GK than in Wistar islets. These responses were inhibited by pV (0.01-0.1mM), also after islet exposure to pertussis toxin (PTX), but were abolished by 1 microM wortmannin. Moreover, in GK but not Wistar islets, wortmannin significantly stimulated basal glucagon secretion (p<0.05) and inhibited arginine-induced glucagon secretion (p<0.001). In In-R1-G9 glucagonoma cells, the inhibitory effect of pV (0.01 mM) on glucagon response to arginine was also observed and paralleled by increased IRS-1 and IRS-2 associated PI3-kinase activity. In conclusion, inhibition of PTPase activity by pV stimulates basal and inhibits arginine-induced glucagon release. The inhibitory effect of 0.01-0.1mM pV seems not to be accounted for by islet peptides acting on PTX sensitive G(i)-proteins. PI3-kinase activity seems to play an important role in pV-induced inhibition of glucagon release.

Abstract
When stimulated with 6 mmol/L glucose, a minimal, transient insulin secretory response was observed from perifused rat islets. The inclusion of 5 micromol/L nateglinide significantly amplified release. Elevating glucose to 8 or 10 mmol/L resulted in an increasing insulin secretory response that was again markedly potentiated by the further inclusion of nateglinide. The calcium channel antagonist, nitrendipine, abolished secretion to 8 mmol/L glucose plus nateglinide. Unlike nateglinide, rosiglitazone (5 micromol/L), troglitazone (1 to 10 micromol/L), or darglitazone (10 micromol/L), 3 peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) agonists, were without any acute stimulatory effect on insulin release in the simultaneous presence of 6 to 10 mmol/L glucose. Glucose (8 to 10 mmol/L) significantly increased inositol phosphate accumulation. Nateglinide amplified this response. Nitrendipine reduced inositol phosphate (IP) accumulation in response to the combination of 8 mmol/L glucose plus 5 micromol/L nateglinide. Rosiglitazone had no effect on IP accumulation. These results confirm the efficacy of nateglinide as a potent glucose-dependent insulin secretagogue that exerts its stimulatory effect, at least in part, through the activation of phospholipase C (PLC). No acute potentiating effect of rosiglitazone on either insulin secretion or IP accumulation could be detected in isolated rat islets.

Abstract
Isolated perifused rat islets were stimulated with glucose, exogenous insulin, or carbachol. C-peptide and, where possible, insulin secretory rates were measured. Glucose (8-10 mm) induced dose-dependent and kinetically similar patterns of C-peptide and insulin secretion. The addition of 100 nm bovine insulin had no effect on C-peptide release in response to 8-10 mm glucose stimulation. The addition of 100 nm bovine insulin or 500 nm human insulin together with 3 mm glucose had no stimulatory effect on C-peptide secretion rates from perifused rat islets. Stimulation with carbachol plus 7 mm glucose enhanced both C-peptide and insulin secretion, and the further addition of 100 nm bovine insulin had no inhibitory effect on C-peptide secretory rates under this condition. Perifusion studies using pharmacologic inhibitors (genistein and wortmannin) of the kinases thought to be involved in insulin signaling potentiated 10 mm glucose-induced secretion. The results support the following conclusions. 1) C-peptide release rates accurately reflect insulin secretion rates from collagenase-isolated, perifused rat islets. 2) Exogenously added bovine insulin exerts no inhibitory effect on release to several agonists including glucose. 3) In the presence of 3 mm glucose, exogenously added bovine or human insulin do not stimulate endogenous insulin secretion.

Abstract
The role of phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase in the regulation of pancreatic beta-cell function was investigated. PI 3-kinase activity in p85 alpha regulatory subunit-deficient (p85 alpha(-/-)) islets was decreased to approximately 20% of that in wild-type controls. Insulin content and mass of rough endoplasmic reticula were decreased in beta-cells from p85 alpha(-/-) mice with increased insulin sensitivity. However, p85 alpha(-/-) beta-cells exhibited a marked increase in the insulin secretory response to higher concentrations of glucose. When PI 3-kinase in wild-type islets was suppressed by wortmannin or LY294002, the secretion was also substantially potentiated. Wortmannin's potentiating effect was not due to augmentation in glucose metabolism or cytosolic [Ca(2+)] elevation. Results of p85 alpha(-/-) islets and wortmannin-treated wild-type islets stimulated with diazoxide and KCl showed that inhibition of PI 3-kinase activity exerted its effect on secretion, at least in part, distal to a cytosolic [Ca(2+)] elevation. These results suggest that PI 3-kinase activity normally plays a crucial role in the suppression of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion.

Abstract
The release and oxidation of 5-hydroxytryptamine from 5-hydroxytryptamine-preloaded beta-cells has been used as a surrogate marker for insulin secretion. Findings made using this methodology have been used to support the concept that insulin stimulates its own release. In the present studies, the effects of 5-hydroxytryptamine on stimulated insulin secretion from isolated perifused rat islets was determined. When added together with stimulatory glucose, 5-hydroxytryptamine (0.5 mm) significantly reduced both phases of 8 mm glucose-induced secretion and reduced the first phase of 15 mm glucose-induced release by 60% without any effect on sustained insulin release rates. Preloading of beta-cells with 0.5 mm 5-hydroxytryptamine for 3 h resulted in a more severe impairment of 15 mm glucose-induced secretion. First and second phase release rates were reduced by 70 and 55%, respectively. In addition, this pretreatment protocol also abolished 200 microm tolbutamide-induced insulin secretion from perifused islets. These findings confirm that 5-hydroxytryptamine is a powerful inhibitor of stimulated insulin secretion. The responses of 5-hydroxytryptamine-preloaded beta-cells may not accurately reflect the biochemical events occurring during the physiologic regulation of insulin secretion. The suggestion that insulin stimulates its own secretion based exclusively on amperometric measurements should be reconsidered.

Abstract
Insulin is known to regulate pancreatic beta-cell function through the activation of cell surface insulin receptors, phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate (IRS)-1 and -2, and activation of phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase. However, an acute effect of insulin in modulating beta-cell electrical activity and its underlying ionic currents has not been reported. Using the perforated patch clamp technique, we found that insulin (1-600 nmol/l) but not IGF-1 (100 nmol/l) reversibly hyperpolarized single mouse beta-cells and inhibited their electrical activity. The dose-response relationship for insulin yielded a maximal change (mean +/- SE) in membrane potential of -13.6 +/- 2.0 mV (P < 0.001) and a 50% effective dose of 25.9 +/- 0.1 nmol/l (n = 63). Exposing patched beta-cells within intact islets to 200 nmol/l insulin produced similar results, hyperpolarizing islets from -47.7 +/- 3.3 to -65.6 +/- 3.7 mV (P < 0.0001, n = 11). In single cells, insulin-induced hyperpolarization was associated with a threefold increase in whole-cell conductance from 0.6 +/- 0.1 to 1.7 +/- 0.2 nS (P < 0.001, n = 10) and a shift in the current reversal potential from -25.7 +/- 2.5 to -63.7 +/- 1.0 mV (P < 0.001 vs. control, n = 9; calculated K(+) equilibrium potential = -90 mV). The effects of insulin were reversed by tolbutamide, which decreased cell conductance to 0.5 +/- 0.1 nS and shifted the current reversal potential to -25.2 +/- 2.3 mV. Insulin-induced beta-cell hyperpolarization was sufficient to abolish intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) oscillations measured in pancreatic islets exposed to 10 mmol/l glucose. The application of 100 nmol/l wortmannin to inactivate PI 3-kinase, a key enzyme in insulin signaling, was found to reverse the effects of 100 nmol/l insulin. In cell-attached patches, single ATP-sensitive K(+) (K(ATP)) channels were activated by bath-applied insulin and subsequently inhibited by wortmannin. Our data thus demonstrate that insulin activates the K(ATP) channels of single mouse pancreatic beta-cells and islets, resulting in membrane hyperpolarization, an inhibition of electrical activity, and the abolition of [Ca(2+)](i) oscillations. We thus propose that locally released insulin might serve as a negative feedback signal within the islet under physiological conditions.

Abstract
The postreceptor events regulating the signal of insulin downstream in rat intestinal cells have not yet been analyzed. Our objectives were to identify the nature of receptor substrates and phosphorylated proteins involved in the signaling of insulin and to investigate the mechanism(s) by which insulin enhances intestinal hydrolases. In response to insulin, the following proteins were rapidly phosphorylated on tyrosine residues: 1) insulin receptor substrates-1 (IRS-1), -2, and -4; 2) phospholipase C-isoenzyme-gamma; 3) the Ras-GTPase-activating protein (GAP) associated with Rho GAP and p62(Src); 4) the insulin receptor beta-subunit; 5) the p85 subunits of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase); 6) the Src homology 2 alpha-collagen protein; 7) protein kinase B; 8) mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase-1 and -2; and 9) growth receptor-bound protein-2. Compared with controls, insulin enhanced the intestinal activity of MAP kinase-2 and protein kinase B by two- and fivefold, respectively, but did not enhance p70/S6 ribosomal kinase. Administration of an antireceptor antibody or MAP-kinase inhibitor PD-98059 but not a PI 3-kinase inhibitor (wortmannin) to sucklings inhibited the effects of insulin on mucosal mass and enzyme expression. We conclude that normal rat enterocytes express all of the receptor substrates and mediators involved in different insulin signaling pathways and that receptor binding initiates a signal enhancing brush-border membrane hydrolase, which appears to be regulated by the cascade of MAP kinases but not by PI 3-kinase.
