Glucose-Dependent Insulin Secretion in Pancreatic β-Cell Islets from Male Rats Requires Ca2+ Release via ROS-Stimulated Ryanodine Receptors. PLoS One 2015; 10:e0129238.

Abstract
Glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) from pancreatic β-cells requires an increase in intracellular free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]). Glucose uptake into β-cells promotes Ca2+ influx and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. In other cell types, Ca2+ and ROS jointly induce Ca2+ release mediated by ryanodine receptor (RyR) channels. Therefore, we explored here if RyR-mediated Ca2+ release contributes to GSIS in β-cell islets isolated from male rats. Stimulatory glucose increased islet insulin secretion, and promoted ROS generation in islets and dissociated β-cells. Conventional PCR assays and immunostaining confirmed that β-cells express RyR2, the cardiac RyR isoform. Extended incubation of β-cell islets with inhibitory ryanodine suppressed GSIS; so did the antioxidant N-acetyl cysteine (NAC), which also decreased insulin secretion induced by glucose plus caffeine. Inhibitory ryanodine or NAC did not affect insulin secretion induced by glucose plus carbachol, which engages inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors. Incubation of islets with H2O2 in basal glucose increased insulin secretion 2-fold. Inhibitory ryanodine significantly decreased H2O2-stimulated insulin secretion and prevented the 4.5-fold increase of cytoplasmic [Ca2+] produced by incubation of dissociated β-cells with H2O2. Addition of stimulatory glucose or H2O2 (in basal glucose) to β-cells disaggregated from islets increased RyR2 S-glutathionylation to similar levels, measured by a proximity ligation assay; in contrast, NAC significantly reduced the RyR2 S-glutathionylation increase produced by stimulatory glucose. We propose that RyR2-mediated Ca2+ release, induced by the concomitant increases in [Ca2+] and ROS produced by stimulatory glucose, is an essential step in GSIS.

Abstract
Ryanodine receptors (RyRs) are mainly located on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and play an important role in regulating glucose-induced cytosolic Ca(2+) oscillation in pancreatic β-cells. However, subcellular locations and functions of RyRs on other cell organelles such as nuclear envelope are not well understood. In order to investigate the role of RyRs in nuclear Ca(2+) oscillation we designed and conducted experiments in intact primary pancreatic β-cells. Immunocytochemistry was used to examine the expression of RYRs on the nuclear envelope. Confocal microscopy was used to evaluate the function of RYRs on the nuclear envelope. We found that RyRs are expressed on the nuclear envelope in single primary pancreatic β-cells and isolated nuclei. Laser scanning confocal microscopy studies indicated that application of glucose to the cells co-incubated with Ca(2+) indicator Fluo-4 AM and cell-permeable nuclear indicator Hoechst 33342 resulted in nuclear Ca(2+) oscillation. The pattern of glucose-induced Ca(2+) oscillation in the nucleus and cytosol was similar. The reduction of Ca(2+) oscillation amplitude by ryanodine was much greater in the nucleus though both the cytosol and the nucleus Ca(2+) amplitude decreased by ryanodine. Our results suggest that functional ryanodine receptors not only exist in endoplasmic reticulum but are also expressed in nuclear envelope of pancreatic β-cells.

Abstract
The secretion of insulin from pancreatic β-cells is triggered by the influx of Ca(2+) through voltage-dependent Ca(2+) channels. The resulting elevation of intracellular calcium ([Ca(2+)](i)) triggers additional Ca(2+) release from internal stores. Less well understood are the mechanisms involved in Ca(2+) mobilization from internal stores after activation of Ca(2+) influx. The mobilization process is known as calcium-induced calcium release (CICR). In this study, our goal was to investigate the existence of and the role of caffeine-sensitive ryanodine receptors (RyRs) in a rat pancreatic β-cell line, INS-1 cells. To measure cytosolic and stored Ca(2+), respectively, cultured INS-1 cells were loaded with fura-2/AM or furaptra/AM. [Ca(2+)](i) was repetitively increased by caffeine stimulation in normal Ca(2+) buffer. However, peak [Ca(2+)](i) was only observed after the first caffeine stimulation in Ca(2+) free buffer and this increase was markedly blocked by ruthenium red, a RyR blocker. KCl-induced elevations in [Ca(2+)](i) were reduced by pretreatment with ruthenium red, as well as by depletion of internal Ca(2+) stores using cyclopiazonic acid (CPA) or caffeine. Caffeine-induced Ca(2+) mobilization ceased after the internal stores were depleted by carbamylcholine (CCh) or CPA. In permeabilized INS-1 cells, Ca(2+) release from internal stores was activated by caffeine, Ca(2+), or ryanodine. Furthermore, ruthenium red completely blocked the CICR response in permeabilized cells. RyRs were widely distributed throughout the intracellular compartment of INS-1 cells. These results suggest that caffeine-sensitive RyRs exist and modulate the CICR response from internal stores in INS-1 pancreatic β-cells.

Abstract
Maintenance of the reduced state of luminal pyridine nucleotides in the endoplasmic reticulum - an important pro-survival factor in the cell - is ensured by the concerted action of glucose-6-phosphate transporter and hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. The mechanism by which the redox imbalance leads to cell death was investigated in HepG2 cells. The chemical inhibition of the glucose-6-phosphate transporter, the silencing of hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and/or the glucose-6-phosphate transporter, or the oxidation of luminal NADPH by themselves did not cause a significant loss of cell viability. However, these treatments caused ER calcium store depletion. If these treatments were supplemented with the administration of a subliminal dose of the oxidizing agent menadione, endoplasmic reticulum vacuolization and a loss of viability were observed. Combined treatments resulted in the activation of ATF6 and procaspase-4, and in the induction of Grp78 and CHOP. In spite of the presence of UPR markers and proapoptotic signaling the effector caspases - caspase-3 and caspase-7 - were not active. On the other hand, an elevation of the autophagy marker LC3B was observed. Immunohistochemistry revealed a punctuated distribution of LC3B II, coinciding with the vacuolization of the endoplasmic reticulum. The results suggest that altered redox state of endoplasmic reticulum luminal pyridine nucleotides sensitizes the cell to autophagy.

Abstract
FK506 binding protein 12.6 kDa (FKBP12.6), a protein that regulates ryanodine Ca(2+) release channels, may act as an important regulator of insulin secretion. In this study, the role of FKBP12.6 in the control of insulin secretion and blood glucose is clarified using FKBP12.6(-/-) mice. FKBP12.6(-/-) mice showed significant fed hyperinsulinemia but exhibited normoglycemia, fasting normoinsulinemia, and normal body weight compared with wild-type (WT) littermate control mice. Deletion of FKBP12.6 resulted in enhanced glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) both in vivo and in vitro, a result that is due to enhanced glucose-induced islet Ca(2+) elevation. After a high-fat dietary challenge (HF diet) for 3 mo, FKBP12.6(-/-) mice displayed higher body weight, hyperinsulinemia, and lower fed blood glucose concentrations compared with WT mice. FKBP12.6(-/-) mice displayed hyperinsulinemia, and resistance to HF diet-induced hyperglycemia, suggesting that FKBP12.6 plays an important role in insulin secretion and blood glucose control, and raising the possibility that it may be a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
AIM To identify and compare the profile of Ca(2+) channel subunit expression in INS-1 and rat pancreatic beta cells. METHODS The rat insulin-secreting INS-1 cell line was cultured in RPMI-1640 with Wistar rats employed as islet donors. Ca(2+) channel subunit expression in INS-1 and isolated rat beta cells were examined by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Absolute real-time quantitative PCR was performed in a Bio-Rad iQ5 Gradient Real Time PCR system and the data analyzed using an iQ5 system to identify the expression level of the Ca(2+) channel subunits. RESULTS In INS-1 cells, the L-type Ca(2+) channel 1C subunit had the highest expression level and the TPRM2 subunit had the second highest expression. In rat beta cells, the TPRC4beta subunit expression was dominant and the expression of the L-type 1C subunit exceeded the 1D subunit expression about two-fold. This result agreed with other studies, confirming the important role of the L-type 1C subunit in insulin-secreting cells, and suggested that non-voltage-operated Ca(2+) channels may have an important role in biphasic insulin secretion. CONCLUSION Twelve major Ca(2+) channel subunit types were identified in INS-1 and rat beta cells and significant differences were observed in the expression of certain subunits between these cells.

Abstract
Using insulin-secreting cell line (INS)-1 cells stably expressing dihydropyridine-insensitive mutants of either Cav1.2 or Cav1.3, we previously demonstrated that Cav1.3 is preferentially coupled to insulin secretion and [Ca2+]i oscillations stimulated by 11.2 mM glucose. Using the same system, we found that insulin secretion in 7.5 mM glucose plus 1 mM 8-bromo-cAMP (8-Br-cAMP) is mediated by both Cav1.2 and Cav1.3. Treatment of INS-1 cells or INS-1 cells stably expressing Cav1.2/dihydropyridine-insensitive (DHPi) channels in the presence of 10 microM nifedipine, with effector-specific cAMP analogs 8-(4-chlorophenylthio)-2'-O-methyladenosine-cAMP [8-pCPT-2'-O-Me-cAMP; 100 microM; Exchange Protein directly Activated by cAMP 2 (Epac2)-selective] or N6-benzoyl-cAMP [50 microM; Protein Kinase A (PKA)-selective] partially increased insulin secretion. Secretion stimulated by a combination of the two cAMP analogs was additive and comparable with that stimulated by 1 mM 8-Br-cAMP. In INS-1 cells stably expressing Cav1.3/DHPi in the presence of 10 microM nifedipine, N6-benzoyl-cAMP, but not 8-pCPT-2'-O-Me-cAMP, significantly increased glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. However, the combination of N6-benzoyl-cAMP and 8-pCPT-2'-O-Me-cAMP significantly increased glucose-stimulated secretion compared with N6-benzoyl-cAMP alone. In INS-1 cells, 8-Br-cAMP potentiation of insulin secretion in 7.5 mM glucose is blocked by thapsigargin (1 microM) and ryanodine (0.5 microM). In contrast, ryanodine has no effect on insulin secretion or [Ca2+]i oscillations stimulated by 11.2 mM glucose in INS-1 cells. Our data suggest that both Cav1.2 and Cav1.3 mediate insulin secretion stimulated by 7.5 mM glucose and cAMP via a mechanism that requires internal stores of Ca2+. Furthermore, cAMP modulation of secretion mediated by Cav1.2 seems to involve both Epac2 and PKA independently. In contrast, cAMP modulation of Cav1.3-mediated secretion depends upon PKA activation, whereas the contribution of Epac2 is dependent upon PKA activation.

Abstract
The blood glucose-lowering hormone glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) stimulates cAMP production, promotes Ca2+ influx, and mobilizes an intracellular source of Ca2+ in pancreatic beta cells. Here we provide evidence that these actions of GLP-1 are functionally related: they reflect a process of Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release (CICR) that requires activation of protein kinase A (PKA) and the Epac family of cAMP-regulated guanine nucleotide exchange factors (cAMPGEFs). In rat insulin-secreting INS-1 cells or mouse beta cells loaded with caged Ca2+ (NP-EGTA), a GLP-1 receptor agonist (exendin-4) is demonstrated to sensitize intracellular Ca2+ release channels to stimulatory effects of cytosolic Ca2+, thereby allowing CICR to be generated by the uncaging of Ca2+ (UV flash photolysis). This sensitizing action of exendin-4 is diminished by an inhibitor of PKA (H-89) or by overexpression of dominant negative Epac. It is reproduced by cell-permeant cAMP analogues that activate PKA (6-Bnz-cAMP) or Epac (8-pCPT-2'-O-Me-cAMP) selectively. Depletion of Ca2+ stores with thapsigargin abolishes CICR, while inhibitors of Ca2+ release channels (ryanodine and heparin) attenuate CICR in an additive manner. Because the uncaging of Ca2+ fails to stimulate CICR in the absence of cAMP-elevating agents, it is concluded that there exists in beta cells a process of second messenger coincidence detection, whereby intracellular Ca2+ release channels (ryanodine receptors, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) receptors) monitor a simultaneous increase of cAMP and Ca2+ concentrations. We propose that second messenger coincidence detection of this type may explain how GLP-1 interacts with beta cell glucose metabolism to stimulate insulin secretion.

Abstract
The effect of sarcoendoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase (SERCA) inhibition on the cytoplasmic Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) was studied in primary insulin-releasing pancreatic beta-cells isolated from mice, rats and human subjects as well as in clonal rat insulinoma INS-1 cells. In Ca(2+)-deficient medium the individual primary beta-cells reacted to the SERCA inhibitor cyclopiazonic acid (CPA) with a slow rise of [Ca(2+)](i) followed by an explosive transient elevation. The [Ca(2+)](i) transients were preferentially observed at low intracellular concentrations of the Ca(2+) indicator fura-2 and were unaffected by pre-treatment with 100 microM ryanodine. Whereas 20mM caffeine had no effect on basal [Ca(2+)](i) or the slow rise in response to CPA, it completely prevented the CPA-induced [Ca(2+)](i) transients as well as inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-mediated [Ca(2+)](i) transients in response to carbachol. In striking contrast to the primary beta-cells, caffeine readily mobilized intracellular Ca(2+) in INS-1 cells under identical conditions, and such mobilization was prevented by ryanodine pre-treatment. The results indicate that leakage of Ca(2+) from the endoplasmic reticulum after SERCA inhibition is feedback-accelerated by Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+) release (CICR). In primary pancreatic beta-cells this CICR is due to activation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors. CICR by ryanodine receptor activation may be restricted to clonal beta-cells.

Abstract
The contribution of Ca(2+) release from intracellular stores to the rise in the free cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](c)) triggered by Ca(2+) influx was investigated in mouse pancreatic beta-cells. Depolarization of beta-cells by 45 mm K(+) (in the presence of 15 mm glucose and 0.1 mm diazoxide) evoked two types of [Ca(2+)](c) responses: a monotonic and sustained elevation; or a sustained elevation superimposed by a transient [Ca(2+)](c) peak (TCP) (40-120 s after the onset of depolarization). Simultaneous measurements of [Ca(2+)](c) and voltage-dependent Ca(2+) current established that the TCP did not result from a larger Ca(2+) current. Abolition of the TCP by thapsigargin and its absence in sarco-endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase 3 (SERCA3) knockout mice show that it is caused by Ca(2+) mobilization from the endoplasmic reticulum. A TCP could not be evoked by the sole depolarization of beta-cells but required a rise in [Ca(2+)](c) pointing to a Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+) release (CICR). This CICR did not involve inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)) receptors (IP(3)Rs) because it was resistant to heparin. Nor did it involve ryanodine receptors (RyRs) because it persisted after blockade of RyRs with ryanodine, and was not mimicked by caffeine, a RyR agonist. Moreover, RyR1 and RyR2 mRNA were not found and RyR3 mRNA was only slightly expressed in purified beta-cells. A CICR could also be detected in a limited number of cells in response to glucose. Our data demonstrate, for the first time in living cells, the existence of an atypical CICR that is independent from the IP(3)R and the RyR. This CICR is prominent in response to a supraphysiological stimulation with high K(+), but plays little role in response to glucose in non-obese mouse pancreatic beta-cells.

Abstract
The role of the Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+) release channel (ryanodine receptor) in MIN6 pancreatic beta-cells was investigated. An endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-targeted "cameleon" was used to report lumenal free Ca(2+). Depolarization of MIN6 cells with KCl led to release of Ca(2+) from the ER. This ER Ca(2+) release was mimicked by treatment with the ryanodine receptor agonists caffeine and 4-chloro-m-cresol, reversed by voltage-gated Ca(2+) channel antagonists and blocked by treatment with antagonistic concentrations of ryanodine. The depolarization-induced rise in cytoplasmic Ca(2+) was also inhibited by ryanodine, which did not alter voltage-gated Ca(2+) channel activation. Both ER and cytoplasmic Ca(2+) changes induced by depolarization occurred in a dose-dependent manner. Glucose caused a delayed rise in cytoplasmic Ca(2+) but no detectable change in ER Ca(2+). Carbamyl choline caused ER Ca(2+) release, a response that was not altered by ryanodine. Taken together, these results provide strong evidence that Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+) release augments cytoplasmic Ca(2+) signals in pancreatic beta-cells.

Abstract
L-Type Ca(2+) channel blockers inhibit glucose and KCl-stimulated insulin secretion by pancreatic beta cells. However, the role of the two distinct L-type channels expressed by beta cells, Ca(v)1.2 and Ca(v)1.3, in this process is not clear. Therefore, we stably transfected INS-1 cells with two mutant channel constructs, Ca(v)1.2DHPi or Ca(v)1.3 DHPi. Whole-cell patch-clamp recordings demonstrated that both mutant channels are insensitive to dihydropyridines (DHPs), but are blocked by diltiazem. INS-1 cells expressing Ca(v)1.3/DHPi maintained glucose- and KCl-stimulated insulin secretion in the presence of DHPs, whereas cells expressing Ca(v)1.2/DHPi demonstrated DHP resistance to only KCl-induced secretion. INS-1 cells were also stably transfected with cDNAs encoding the intracellular loop between domains II and III of either Ca(v)1.2 or Ca(v)1.3 (Ca(v)1.2/II-III or Ca(v)1.3/II-III). Glucose- and KCl-stimulated insulin secretion in Ca(v)1.2/II-III cells were not different from untransfected INS-1 cells. However, glucose-stimulated insulin secretion was completely inhibited and KCl-stimulated secretion was substantially resistant to inhibition by DHPs, but sensitive to omega-agatoxin IVA in Ca(v)1.3/II-III cells. Moreover, the L-type channel agonist FPL 64176 markedly enhanced KCl-stimulated secretion by Ca(v)1.3/II-III cells. Together, our results suggest that Ca(2+) influx via Ca(v)1.3 is preferentially coupled to glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in INS-1 cells.

Abstract
We have demonstrated recently (Mitchell, K. J., Pinton, P., Varadi, A., Tacchetti, C., Ainscow, E. K., Pozzan, T., Rizzuto, R., and Rutter, G. A. (2001) J. Cell Biol. 155, 41-51) that ryanodine receptors (RyR) are present on insulin-containing secretory vesicles. Here we show that pancreatic islets and derived beta-cell lines express type I and II, but not type III, RyRs. Purified by subcellular fractionation and membrane immuno-isolation, dense core secretory vesicles were found to possess a similar level of type I RyR immunoreactivity as Golgi/endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membranes but substantially less RyR II than the latter. Monitored in cells expressing appropriately targeted aequorins, dantrolene, an inhibitor of RyR I channels, elevated free Ca(2+) concentrations in the secretory vesicle compartment from 40.1 +/- 6.7 to 90.4 +/- 14.8 microm (n = 4, p < 0.01), while having no effect on ER Ca(2+) concentrations. Furthermore, nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP), a novel Ca(2+)-mobilizing agent, decreased dense core secretory vesicle but not ER free Ca(2+) concentrations in permeabilized MIN6 beta-cells, and flash photolysis of caged NAADP released Ca(2+) from a thapsigargin-insensitive Ca(2+) store in single MIN6 cells. Because dantrolene strongly inhibited glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (from 3.07 +/- 0.51-fold stimulation to no significant glucose effect; n = 3, p < 0.01), we conclude that RyR I-mediated Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+) release from secretory vesicles, possibly potentiated by NAADP, is essential for the activation of insulin secretion.

Abstract
The ryanodine (RY) receptors in beta-cells amplify signals by Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release (CICR). The role of CICR in insulin secretion remains unclear in spite of the fact that caffeine is known to stimulate secretion. This effect of caffeine is attributed solely to the inhibition of cAMP-phosphodiesterases (cAMP-PDEs). We demonstrate that stimulation of insulin secretion by caffeine is due to a sensitization of the RY receptors. The dose-response relationship of caffeine-induced inhibition of cAMP-PDEs was not correlated with the stimulation of insulin secretion. Sensitization of the RY receptors stimulated insulin secretion in a context-dependent manner, that is, only in the presence of a high concentration of glucose. This effect of caffeine depended on an increase in [Ca2+]i. Confocal images of beta-cells demonstrated an increase in [Ca2+]i induced by caffeine but not by forskolin. 9-Methyl-7-bromoeudistomin D (MBED), which sensitizes RY receptors, did not inhibit cAMP-PDEs, but it stimulated secretion in a glucose-dependent manner. The stimulation of secretion by caffeine and MBED involved both the first and the second phases of secretion. We conclude that the RY receptors of beta-cells mediate a distinct glucose-dependent signal for insulin secretion and may be a target for developing drugs that will stimulate insulin secretion only in a glucose-dependent manner.

Abstract
Functional coupling between Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+) release (CICR) and quantal exocytosis in 5-hydroxytryptamine-loaded INS-1 beta cells was assessed through the use of carbon fibre amperometry in combination with Fura-2. CICR was evoked by the glucagon-like-peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist exendin-4 (Ex-4) and was accompanied by quantal secretory events appearing as amperometric current spikes time-locked to the increase of [Ca(2+)](i). The action of Ex-4 was reproduced by treatment with caffeine, and the source of Ca(2+) serving as a stimulus for exocytosis originated from ryanodine and thapsigargin-sensitive Ca(2+) stores. Two distinct patterns of exocytosis occurred within 5 s following the initiation of CICR. Non-summating exocytosis (NS-type) was defined as multiple asynchronous current spikes, and the half-height duration of each spike was 12-48 ms. Summating exocytosis (S-type) was defined as a cluster of spikes. It generated a macroscopic current, the half-height duration of which was 243-682 ms. The release charge of S-type exocytosis was 3.2-fold greater than that of NS-type when measured 2 s following the initiation of secretion. NS-type exocytosis was observed frequently under conditions in which the basal Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](B)) was low (75-150 nM), whereas S-type exocytosis predominated under conditions in which the [Ca(2+)](B) was elevated (200-275 nM). Depolarization-induced Ca(2+) influx triggered NS-type exocytosis in most cells tested, irrespective of [Ca(2+)](B). It is concluded that CICR is a highly effective stimulus for exocytosis in INS-1 cells. The increase of [Ca(2+)](i) that accompanies CICR stimulates the asynchronous release of a small number of secretory granules under conditions of low [Ca(2+)](B). When [Ca(2+)](B) is slightly elevated, CICR targets a much larger pool of secretory granules that undergo summating exocytosis. The transition from NS-type to S-type exocytosis may represent an amplification mechanism for Ca(2+)-dependent exocytosis.

Abstract
The list of Ca(2+) channels involved in stimulus-secretion coupling in beta-cells is increasing. In this respect the roles of the voltage-gated Ca(2+) channels and IP(3) receptors are well accepted. There is a lack of consensus about the significance of a third group of Ca(2+) channels called ryanodine (RY) receptors. These are large conduits located on Ca(2+) storage organelle. Ca(2+) gates these channels in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. Activation of these channels by Ca(2+) leads to fast release of Ca(2+) from the stores, a process called Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+) release (CICR). A substantial body of evidence confirms that beta-cells have RY receptors. CICR by RY receptors amplifies Ca(2+) signals. Some properties of RY receptors ensure that this amplification process is engaged in a context-dependent manner. Several endogenous molecules and processes that modulate RY receptors determine the appropriate context. Among these are several glycolytic intermediates, long-chain acyl CoA, ATP, cAMP, cADPR, NO, and high luminal Ca(2+) concentration, and all of these have been shown to sensitize RY receptors to the trigger action of Ca(2+). RY receptors, thus, detect co-incident signals and integrate them. These Ca(2+) channels are targets for the action of cAMP-linked incretin hormones that stimulate glucose-dependent insulin secretion. In beta-cells some RY receptors are located on the secretory vesicles. Thus, despite their low abundance, RY receptors are emerging as distinct players in beta-cell function by virtue of their large conductance, strategic locations, and their ability to amplify Ca(2+) signals in a context-dependent manner.

Abstract
Reported species differences in the stimulus-secretion coupling of insulin release made it important to compare the Ca2+ handling of rat beta-cells with that previously observed in mice. Single beta-cells and small aggregates were prepared from pancreatic islets of Wistar rats, attached to cover slips and then used for measuring the cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) with the ratiometric fura-2 technique. Glucose (11 mM) induced slow oscillations of [Ca2+]i similar to those seen in other species, including humans. Comparison of the oscillations in rat beta-cells with those previously described in mouse revealed that there was a slightly lower frequency and an increased tendency to transformation into sustained [Ca2+]i in response to glucagon or caffeine. Ryanodine (5-20 microM) did not affect existing oscillations but sometimes restored rhythmic activity in the presence of caffeine. Stimulation with glucose resulted not only in oscillations but also in transients of [Ca2+]i sometimes appearing in synchrony in adjacent beta-cells and disappearing after the addition of 200 nM thapsigargin or 20 mM caffeine. The frequency of transients recorded in a medium containing glucagon and methoxyverapamil was higher than seen under similar conditions in mouse beta-cells. Although exhibiting some differences compared with mouse beta-cells, rat beta-cells also have an intrinsic ability to oscillate and to generate the transients of [Ca2+] that are supposed to synchronize the rhythmicity of the islets in the pancreas.

Abstract
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) plays a pivotal role in the regulation of cytosolic Ca(2+) concentrations ([Ca(2+)](cyt)) and hence in insulin secretion from pancreatic beta-cells. However, the molecular mechanisms involved in both the uptake and release of Ca(2+) from the ER are only partially defined in these cells, and the presence and regulation of ER ryanodine receptors are a matter of particular controversy. To monitor Ca(2+) fluxes across the ER membrane in single live MIN6 beta-cells, we have imaged changes in the ER intralumenal free Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](ER)) using ER-targeted cameleons. Resting [Ca(2+)](ER) (approximately 250 micromol/l) was markedly reduced after suppression (by approximately 40%) of the sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase (SERCA)-2b but not the SERCA3 isoform by microinjection of antisense oligonucleotides, implicating SERCA2b as the principle ER Ca(2+)-ATPase in this cell type. Nutrient secretagogues that elevated [Ca(2+)](cyt) also increased [Ca(2+)](ER), an effect most marked at the cell periphery, whereas inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-generating agents caused a marked and homogenous lowering of [Ca(2+)](ER). Demonstrating the likely presence of ryanodine receptors (RyRs), caffeine and 4-chloro-3-ethylphenol both caused an almost complete emptying of ER Ca(2+) and marked increases in [Ca(2+)](cyt). Furthermore, photolysis of caged cyclic ADP ribose increased [Ca(2+)](cyt), and this effect was largely abolished by emptying ER/Golgi stores with thapsigargin. Expression of RyR protein in living MIN6, INS-1, and primary mouse beta-cells was also confirmed by the specific binding of cell-permeate BODIPY TR-X ryanodine. RyR channels are likely to play an important part in the regulation of intracellular free Ca(2+) changes in the beta-cell and thus in the regulation of insulin secretion.

Abstract
1. The signal transduction pathway responsible for cAMP-dependent Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release (CICR) from endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ stores was assessed in the insulin-secreting cell line INS-1. 2. CICR was triggered by the GLP-1 receptor agonist exendin-4, an effect mimicked by caffeine, Sp-cAMPS or forskolin. CICR required influx of Ca2+ through L-type voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels, and was blocked by treatment with nimodipine, thapsigargin, or ryanodine, but not by the IP3 receptor antagonist xestospongin C. 3. Treatment with the cAMP antagonist 8-Br-Rp-cAMPS blocked CICR in response to exendin-4, whereas the PKA inhibitor H-89 was ineffective when tested at a concentration demonstrated to inhibit PKA-dependent gene expression. 4. RT-PCR of INS-1 cells demonstrated expression of mRNA coding for the type-II isoform of cAMP-regulated guanine nucleotide exchange factor (cAMP-GEF-II, Epac2). 5. CICR in response to forskolin was blocked by transient transfection and expression of a dominant negative mutant isoform of cAMP-GEF-II in which inactivating mutations were introduced into the exchange factor's two cAMP-binding domains. 6. It is concluded that CICR in INS-1 cells results from GLP-1 receptor-mediated sensitization of the intracellular Ca2+ release mechanism, a signal transduction pathway independent of PKA, but which requires cAMP-GEF-II.

Abstract
The role of dense core secretory vesicles in the control of cytosolic-free Ca(2+) concentrations ([Ca(2+)](c)) in neuronal and neuroendocrine cells is enigmatic. By constructing a vesicle-associated membrane protein 2-synaptobrevin.aequorin chimera, we show that in clonal pancreatic islet beta-cells: (a) increases in [Ca(2+)](c) cause a prompt increase in intravesicular-free Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)]SV), which is mediated by a P-type Ca(2+)-ATPase distinct from the sarco(endo) plasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase, but which may be related to the PMR1/ATP2C1 family of Ca(2+) pumps; (b) steady state Ca(2+) concentrations are 3-5-fold lower in secretory vesicles than in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) or Golgi apparatus, suggesting the existence of tightly bound and more rapidly exchanging pools of Ca(2+); (c) inositol (1,4,5) trisphosphate has no impact on [Ca(2+)](SV) in intact or permeabilized cells; and (d) ryanodine receptor (RyR) activation with caffeine or 4-chloro-3-ethylphenol in intact cells, or cyclic ADPribose in permeabilized cells, causes a dramatic fall in [Ca(2+)](SV). Thus, secretory vesicles represent a dynamic Ca(2+) store in neuroendocrine cells, whose characteristics are in part distinct from the ER/Golgi apparatus. The presence of RyRs on secretory vesicles suggests that local Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+) release from vesicles docked at the plasma membrane could participate in triggering exocytosis.

Abstract
The metabolism of D-glucose was characterized in both normal dispersed rat islet cells and the 2-mercaptoethanol-dependent insulin-secreting cells of the INS-1 line. The normal and tumoral islet cells differed from one another by the relative magnitude, concentration dependency and hierarchy of the increase in the production of 3HOH from D-[5-(3)H]glucose and 14C-labelled CO2, acidic metabolites and amino acids from D-[U-14C]glucose at increasing concentrations of the hexose. For instance, whilst the paired ratio between D-[U-14C]glucose oxidation and D-[5-(3)H]glucose utilization augmented in a typical sigmoidal manner in normal islet cells exposed to increasing concentrations of D-glucose, it progressively decreased under the same experimental conditions in INS-1 cells. Nevertheless, the absolute values and concentration-response relationship for the increase in ATP generation rate attributable to the catabolism of D-glucose were virtually identical in normal and tumoral cells. These findings indicate that the analogy in the secretory response to D-glucose of normal and INS-1 islet cells, although coinciding with a comparable response to the hexose in terms of ATP generation, contrasts with a vastly different pattern of D-glucose metabolism in these two cell types.
