Abstract
Little is known about the molecular mechanisms underlying age-dependent deterioration in β-cell function. We now demonstrate that age-dependent impairment in insulin release, and thereby glucose homeostasis, is associated with subtle changes in Ca(2+) dynamics in mouse β-cells. We show that these changes are likely to be accounted for by impaired mitochondrial function and to involve phospholipase C/inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-mediated Ca(2+) mobilization from intracellular stores as well as decreased β-cell Ca(2+) influx over the plasma membrane. We use three mouse models, namely, a premature aging phenotype, a mature aging phenotype, and an aging-resistant phenotype. Premature aging is studied in a genetically modified mouse model with an age-dependent accumulation of mitochondrial DNA mutations. Mature aging is studied in the C57BL/6 mouse, whereas the 129 mouse represents a model that is more resistant to age-induced deterioration. Our data suggest that aging is associated with a progressive decline in β-cell mitochondrial function that negatively impacts on the fine tuning of Ca(2+) dynamics. This is conceptually important since it emphasizes that even relatively modest changes in β-cell signal transduction over time lead to compromised insulin release and a diabetic phenotype.

Abstract
Reviewed are new concepts and models of Ca(2+) signalling originating from work with various animal cells, as well as the applicability of these models to the signalling systems used by blood platelets. The following processes and mechanisms are discussed: Ca(2+) oscillations and waves; Ca(2+) -induced Ca(2+) release; involvement of InsP(3)-receptors and quanta1 release of Ca(2+); different pathways of phospholipase C activation; heterogeneity in the intracellular Ca(2+) stores; store-and receptor-regulated Ca(2+) entry. Additionally, some typical aspects of Ca(2+) signalling in platelets are reviewed: involvement of protein serine/threonine and tyrosine kinases in the regulation of signal transduction; possible functions of platelet glycoproteins; and the importance of Ca(2+) for the exocytotic and procoagulant responses.

Abstract
The Inositol 1,4,5- trisphosphate receptor (InsP3R) is an intracellular ligand gated channel that releases calcium from intracellular stores in response to extracellular signals. To identify and understand physiological processes and behavior that depends on the InsP3 signaling pathway at a systemic level, we are studying Drosophila mutants for the InsP3R (itpr) gene. Here, we show that growth defects precede larval lethality and both are a consequence of the inability to feed normally. Moreover, restoring InsP3R function in insulin producing cells (IPCs) in the larval brain rescues the feeding deficit, growth and lethality in the itpr mutants to a significant extent. We have previously demonstrated a critical requirement for InsP3R activity in neuronal cells, specifically in aminergic interneurons, for larval viability. Processes from the IPCs and aminergic domain are closely apposed in the third instar larval brain with no visible cellular overlap. Ubiquitous depletion of itpr by dsRNA results in feeding deficits leading to larval lethality similar to the itpr mutant phenotype. However, when itpr is depleted specifically in IPCs or aminergic neurons, the larvae are viable. These data support a model where InsP3R activity in non-overlapping neuronal domains independently rescues larval itpr phenotypes by non-cell autonomous mechanisms.

Abstract
Glucose-stimulated insulin secretion is associated with transients of intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) in the pancreatic beta-cell. We tested the hypothesis that inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P3] [Ca2+]i release is incorporated in glucose-induced [Ca2+]i oscillations in mouse islets and MIN6 cells. We found that depletion of intracellular Ca2+ stores with thapsigargin increased the oscillation frequency by twofold and inhibited the slow recovery phase of [Ca2+]i oscillations. We employed a pleckstrin homology domain-containing fluorescent biosensor, phospholipase C partial differential pleckstrin homology domain-enhanced green fluorescent protein, to visualize Ins(1,4,5)P3 dynamics in insulin-secreting MIN6 cells and mouse islets in real time using a video-rate confocal system. In both types of cells, stimulation with carbamoylcholine (CCh) and depolarization with KCl results in an increase in Ins(1,4,5)P3 accumulation in the cytoplasm. When stimulated with glucose, the Ins(1,4,5)P3 concentration in the cytoplasm oscillates in parallel with oscillations of [Ca2+]i. Maximal accumulation of Ins(1,4,5)P3 in these oscillations coincides with the peak of [Ca2+]i and tracks changes in frequencies induced by the voltage-gated K+ channel blockade. We show that Ins(1,4,5)P3 release in insulin-secreting cells can be stimulated by depolarization-induced Ca2+ flux. We conclude that Ins(1,4,5)P3 concentration oscillates in parallel with [Ca2+]i in response to glucose stimulation, but it is not the driving force for [Ca2+]i oscillations.

Abstract
An oscillatory increase in pancreatic beta cell cytoplasmic free Ca2+ concentration, [Ca2+]i, is a key feature in glucose-induced insulin release. The role of the voltage-gated Ca2+ channel beta3 subunit in the molecular regulation of these [Ca2+]i oscillations has now been clarified by using beta3 subunit-deficient beta cells. beta3 knockout mice showed a more efficient glucose homeostasis compared to wild-type mice due to increased glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. This resulted from an increased glucose-induced [Ca2+]i oscillation frequency in beta cells lacking the beta3 subunit, an effect accounted for by enhanced formation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) and increased Ca2+ mobilization from intracellular stores. Hence, the beta3 subunit negatively modulated InsP3-induced Ca2+ release, which is not paralleled by any effect on the voltage-gated L type Ca2+ channel. Since the increase in insulin release was manifested only at high glucose concentrations, blocking the beta3 subunit in the beta cell may constitute the basis for a novel diabetes therapy.

Abstract
Multiple inositol polyphosphate phosphatase (MIPP) is an enzyme that, in vitro, has the interesting property of degrading higher inositol polyphosphates to the Ca2+ second messenger, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3), independently of inositol lipid breakdown. We hypothesized that a truncated cytosolic form of the largely endoplasmic reticulum-confined MIPP (cyt-MIPP) could represent an important new tool in the investigation of Ins(1,4,5)P3-dependent intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis. To optimize our ability to judge the impact of cyt-MIPP on intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) we chose a poorly responsive beta-cell line (HIT M2.2.2) with an abnormally low [Ca2+]i. Our results show for the first time in an intact mammalian cell that cyt-MIPP expression leads to a significant enhancement of Ins(1,4,5)P3 concentration. This is achieved without a significant interference from other cyt-MIPP-derived inositol phosphates. Furthermore, the low basal [Ca2+]i of these cells was raised to normal levels (35 to 115 nm) when they expressed cyt-MIPP. Noteworthy is that the normal feeble glucose-induced Ca2+ response of HIT M2.2.2 cells was enhanced dramatically by mechanisms related to this increase in basal [Ca2+]i. These data support the use of cyt-MIPP as an important tool in investigating Ins(1,4,5)P3-dependent Ca2+ homeostasis and suggest a close link between Ins(1,4,5)P3 concentration and basal [Ca2+]i, the latter being an important modulator of Ca2+ signaling in the pancreatic beta-cell.

Abstract
We have developed a detailed mathematical model of ionic flux in beta-cells that includes the most essential channels and pumps in the plasma membrane. This model is coupled to equations describing Ca2+, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3), ATP, and Na+ homeostasis, including the uptake and release of Ca2+ by the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). In our model, metabolically derived ATP activates inward Ca2+ flux by regulation of ATP-sensitive K+ channels and depolarization of the plasma membrane. Results from the simulations support the hypothesis that intracellular Na+ and Ca2+ in the ER can be the main variables driving both fast (2-7 osc/min) and slow intracellular Ca2+ concentration oscillations (0.3-0.9 osc/min) and that the effect of IP3 on Ca2+ leak from the ER contributes to the pattern of slow calcium oscillations. Simulations also show that filling the ER Ca2+ stores leads to faster electrical bursting and Ca2+ oscillations. Specific Ca2+ oscillations in isolated beta-cell lines can also be simulated.

Abstract
Pancreatic beta-cell function is essential for the regulation of glucose homeostasis in humans, and its impairment leads to the development of type 2 diabetes. Inputs from glucose and cell surface receptors act together to initiate the beta-cell stimulus-response coupling that ultimately leads to the release of insulin. Phosphorylated inositol compounds have recently emerged as key players at all levels of the stimulus-secretion coupling process. In this current review, we seek to highlight recent advances in beta-cell phosphoinositide research by dividing our examination into two sections. The first involves the events that lead to insulin secretion. This includes both new roles for inositol polyphosphates, particularly inositol hexakisphosphate, and both conventional and 3-phosphorylated inositol lipids. In the second section, we deal with the more novel concept of the autocrine role of insulin. Here, released insulin initiates signal transduction cascades, principally through the activity of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase. This new round of signal transduction has been established to activate key beta-cell genes, particularly the insulin gene itself. More controversially, this insulin feedback has also been suggested to either terminate or enhance insulin secretion events.

Abstract
A novel calcium-dependent potassium current (K(slow)) that slowly activates in response to a simulated islet burst was identified recently in mouse pancreatic beta-cells (Göpel, S.O., T. Kanno, S. Barg, L. Eliasson, J. Galvanovskis, E. Renström, and P. Rorsman. 1999. J. Gen. Physiol. 114:759-769). K(slow) activation may help terminate the cyclic bursts of Ca(2+)-dependent action potentials that drive Ca(2+) influx and insulin secretion in beta-cells. Here, we report that when [Ca(2+)](i) handling was disrupted by blocking Ca(2+) uptake into the ER with two separate agents reported to block the sarco/endoplasmic calcium ATPase (SERCA), thapsigargin (1-5 microM) or insulin (200 nM), K(slow) was transiently potentiated and then inhibited. K(slow) amplitude could also be inhibited by increasing extracellular glucose concentration from 5 to 10 mM. The biphasic modulation of K(slow) by SERCA blockers could not be explained by a minimal mathematical model in which [Ca(2+)](i) is divided between two compartments, the cytosol and the ER, and K(slow) activation mirrors changes in cytosolic calcium induced by the burst protocol. However, the experimental findings were reproduced by a model in which K(slow) activation is mediated by a localized pool of [Ca(2+)] in a subspace located between the ER and the plasma membrane. In this model, the subspace [Ca(2+)] follows changes in cytosolic [Ca(2+)] but with a gradient that reflects Ca(2+) efflux from the ER. Slow modulation of this gradient as the ER empties and fills may enhance the role of K(slow) and [Ca(2+)] handling in influencing beta-cell electrical activity and insulin secretion.

Abstract
The role of intracellular Ca2+ pools in oscillations of the cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]c) triggered by Ca2+ influx was investigated in mouse pancreatic B-cells. [Ca2+]c oscillations occurring spontaneously during glucose stimulation or repetitively induced by pulses of high K+ (in the presence of diazoxide) were characterized by a descending phase in two components. A rapid decrease in [Ca2+]c coincided with closure of voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels and was followed by a slower phase independent of Ca2+ influx. Blocking the SERCA pump with thapsigargin or cyclopiazonic acid accelerated the rising phase of [Ca2+]c oscillations and increased their amplitude, which suggests that the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) rapidly takes up Ca2+. It also suppressed the slow [Ca2+]c recovery phase, which indicates that this phase corresponds to the slow release of Ca2+ that was taken up by the ER during the upstroke of the [Ca2+]c transient. Glucose promoted the buffering capacity of the ER and amplified the slow [Ca2+]c recovery phase. The slow phase induced by high K+ pulses was not affected by modulators of Ca2+- or inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-induced Ca2+ release, did not involve a depolarization-induced Ca2+ release, and was also observed at the end of a rapid rise in [Ca2+]c triggered from caged Ca2+. It is attributed to passive leakage of Ca2+ from the ER. We suggest that the ER displays oscillations of the Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]ER) concomitant and parallel to [Ca2+]c. The observation that thapsigargin depolarizes the membrane of B-cells supports the proposal that the degree of Ca2+ filling of the ER modulates the membrane potential. Therefore, [Ca2+]ER oscillations occurring during glucose stimulation are likely to influence the bursting behavior of B-cells and eventually [Ca2+]c oscillations.

Abstract
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is an intestinally derived insulinotropic hormone currently under investigation for use as a novel therapeutic agent in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. In vitro studies of pancreatic islets of Langerhans demonstrated that GLP-1 interacts with specific beta-cell G protein-coupled receptors, thereby facilitating insulin exocytosis by raising intracellular levels of cAMP and Ca2+. Here we report that the stimulatory influence of GLP-1 on Ca2+ signaling results, in part, from cAMP-dependent mobilization of ryanodine-sensitive Ca2+ stores. Studies of human, rat, and mouse beta-cells demonstrate that the binding of a fluorescent derivative of ryanodine (BODIPY FL-X ryanodine) to its receptors is specific, reversible, and of high affinity. Rat islets and BTC3 insulinoma cells are shown by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction analyses to express mRNA corresponding to the type 2 isoform of ryanodine receptor-intracellular Ca2+ release channel (RYR2). Single-cell measurements of [Ca2+]i using primary cultures of rat and human beta-cells indicate that GLP-1 facilitates Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release (CICR), whereby mobilization of Ca2+ stores is triggered by influx of Ca2+ through L-type Ca2+ channels. In these cells, GLP-1 is shown to interact with metabolism of D-glucose to produce a fast transient increase of [Ca2+]i. This effect is reproduced by 8-Br-cAMP, but is blocked by a GLP-1 receptor antagonist (exendin-(9-39)), a cAMP antagonist ((Rp)-cAMPS), an L-type Ca2+ channel antagonist (nimodipine), an antagonist of the sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase (thapsigargin), or by ryanodine. Characterization of the CICR mechanism by voltage clamp analysis also demonstrates a stimulation of Ca2+ release by caffeine. These findings provide new support for a model of beta-cell signal transduction whereby GLP-1 promotes CICR by sensitizing intracellular Ca2+ release channels to the stimulatory influence of cytosolic Ca2+.

Abstract
Closure of ATP-sensitive K+ (K(ATP)) channels is part of the stimulus-secretion coupling mechanism in the pancreatic beta-cell, leading to membrane depolarization and influx of Ca2+ through voltage-sensitive L-type Ca2+ channels. The elevated ATP/ADP ratio seen in the presence of high levels of glucose has been postulated to mediate the glucose-induced closure of the K(ATP) channels and rise in cytoplasmic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i), or alternatively to be a consequence of activation of mitochondrial dehydrogenases by the increase in [Ca2+]i. To distinguish between these two possibilities, the time course of the change in the ATP/ADP ratio was determined in comparison with that of [Ca2+]i. We here show that a severalfold rise in the ATP/ADP ratio occurs rapidly on stimulation of suspensions of mouse pancreatic beta-cells with glucose. The change in the ATP/ADP ratio is an early event that begins within 20-40 s and precedes the rise in [Ca2+]i. The temporal relationship indicates that the adenine nucleotide changes cannot be a consequence of the [Ca2+]i changes and may indeed be the connecting link between glucose metabolism and [Ca2+]i changes. When the cells were sequentially treated with high glucose concentration, clonidine and finally high extracellular Ca2+ concentration to induce synchronized oscillations in [Ca2+]i in the cell suspension, corresponding oscillations in the ATP/ADP ratio were observed. Glucose 6-phosphate levels oscillated out of phase with the ATP/ADP ratio. These results support the hypothesis that the Ca2+ oscillations previously observed in glucose-stimulated single islets or beta-cells may reflect oscillations in the ATP/ADP ratio that accompany oscillatory glycolysis.

Abstract
1. An inositol trisphosphate (InsP3) distinct from Ins(1,4,5)P3 and Ins(1,3,4)P3, which we previously observed in myeloid and lymphoid cells [French, Bunce, Stephens, Lord, McConnell, Brown, Creba and Michell (1991) Proc R. Soc. London B 245, 193-201; Bunce, French, Allen, Mountford, Moore, Greaves, Michell and Brown (1993) Biochem. J. 289, 667-673], is present in WRK1 rat mammary tumour cells and pancreatic endocrine beta-cells. 2. It has been identified as Ins(1,2,3)P3 by a combination of oxidation to ribitol, a structurally diagnostic polyol, and ammoniacal hydrolysis to identified inositol monophosphates. 3. Ins(1,2,3)P3 concentration in HL60 cells changed little during stimulation by ATP or fMetLeuPhe or during neutrophilic or monocytic differentiation, and Ins(1,2,3)P3 was unresponsive to vasopressin in WRK1 cells. 4. Ins(1,2,3)P3 was usually more abundant than Ins(1,4,5)P3, often being present at concentrations between approximately 1 microM and approximately 10 microM. 5. HL60, WRK-1 and lymphoid cells also contain Ins(1,2)P2 or Ins(2,3)P2, or a mixture of these two enantiomers, as a major InsP2 species. 6. Ins(1,2,3)P3 and Ins(1,2)P2/Ins(2,3)P2 are readily detected in cells labelled for long periods, but not in acutely labelled cells. This behaviour resembles that of InsP6, the most abundant cellular inositol polyphosphate that includes the 1,2,3-trisphosphate motif, which also achieves isotopic equilibrium with inositol only slowly. 7. Ins(1,2,3)P3 is the major InsP3 that accumulates during metabolism of InsP6 by WRK-1 cell homogenates. 8. Possible metabolic relationships between Ins(1,2,3)P3, Ins(1,2)P2/Ins(2,3)P2 and other inositol polyphosphates in cells, and a possible role for Ins(1,2,3)P3 in cellular iron handling, are considered.
