Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a serious metabolic disorder with micro- and macrovascular complications that results in significant morbidity and mortality. It is well established that cytosolic Ca(2+) play an important role in controlling insulin secretion in pancreatic β-cells. The Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger (NCX), an ion transport protein, is expressed in the plasma membrane of virtually all animal cells. NCX is a reversible carrier that can mediate the transport of Ca(2+) across the plasma membrane in both directions. Therefore, great efforts have been made to identify NCX associated with DM. NCX is expressed in several tissues, and acts in the protection against intracellular calcium overload; in the regulation of insulin secretion by beta cells, and in improving vascular endothelium-dependent relaxation. All these mechanisms are associated with DM pathogenesis and its chronic complications. Therefore, NCX is a candidate protein for the development of these disorders. Only a few studies investigated NCX in relation to chronic complications of diabetes, with inconclusive results.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The sodium-calcium exchanger isoform 1 (NCX1) regulates cytoplasmic calcium (Ca(2+)(c)) required for insulin secretion in beta-cells. NCX1 is alternatively spliced, resulting in the expression of splice variants in different tissues such as NCX1.3 and -1.7 in beta-cells. As pharmacological inhibitors of NCX1 splice variants are in development, the pharmacological profile of beta-cell NCX1.3 and -1.7 and the cellular effects of NCX1 inhibition were investigated. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS The patch-clamp technique was used to examine the pharmacological profile of the NCX1 inhibitor KB-R7943 on recombinant NCX1.3 and -1.7 activity. Ca(2+) imaging and membrane capacitance were used to assess the effects of KB-R7943 on Ca(2+)(c) and insulin secretion in mouse and human beta-cells and islets. RESULTS NCX1.3 and -1.7 calcium extrusion (forward-mode) activity was approximately 16-fold more sensitive to KB-R7943 inhibition compared with cardiac NCX1.1 (IC(50s) = 2.9 and 2.4 vs. 43.0 micromol/l, respectively). In single mouse/human beta-cells, 1 micromol/l KB-R7943 increased insulin granule exocytosis but was without effect on alpha-cell glucagon granule exocytosis. KB-R7943 also augmented sulfonylurea and glucose-stimulated Ca(2+)(c) levels and insulin secretion in mouse and human islets, although KB-R7943 was without effect under nonstimulated conditions. CONCLUSIONS Islet NCX1 splice variants display a markedly greater sensitivity to pharmacological inhibition than the cardiac NCX1.1 splice variant. NCX1 inhibition resulted in glucose-dependent increases in Ca(2+)(c) and insulin secretion in mouse and human islets. Thus, we identify beta-cell NCX1 splice variants as targets for the development of novel glucose-sensitive insulinotropic drugs for type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
The sodium-calcium exchanger isoform 1 (NCX1) is intimately involved in the regulation of calcium (Ca(2+)) homeostasis in many tissues including excitation-secretion coupling in pancreatic beta-cells. Our group has previously found that intracellular long-chain acyl-coenzyme As (acyl CoAs) are potent regulators of the cardiac NCX1.1 splice variant. Despite this, little is known about the biophysical properties of beta-cell NCX1 splice variants and the effects of intracellular modulators on their important physiological function in health and disease. Here, we show that the forward-mode activity of beta-cell NCX1 splice variants is differentially modulated by acyl-CoAs and is dependent both upon the intrinsic biophysical properties of the particular NCX1 splice variant as well as the side chain length and degree of saturation of the acyl-CoA moiety. Notably, saturated long-chain acyl-CoAs increased both peak and total NCX1 activity, whereas polyunsaturated long-chain acyl-CoAs did not show this effect. Furthermore, we have identified the exon within the alternative splicing region that bestows sensitivity to acyl-CoAs. We conclude that the physiologically relevant forward-mode activity of NCX1 splice variants expressed in the pancreatic beta-cell are sensitive to acyl-CoAs of different saturation and alterations in intracellular acyl-CoA levels may ultimately lead to defects in Ca(2+)-mediated exocytosis and insulin secretion.

Abstract
The plasma membrane Na(+)/Ca(2+)-exchanger is a bi-directional electrogenic (3Na(+):1Ca(2+)) and voltage-sensitive ion transport mechanism, which is mainly responsible for Ca(2+)-extrusion. The Na(+)-gradient, required for normal mode operation, is created by the Na(+)-pump, which is also electrogenic (3Na(+):2K(+)) and voltage-sensitive. The Na(+)/Ca(2+)-exchanger operational modes are very similar to those of the Na(+)-pump, except that the uncoupled flux (Na(+)-influx or -efflux?) is missing. The reversal potential of the exchanger is around -40 mV; therefore, during the upstroke of the AP it is probably transiently activated, leading to Ca(2+)-influx. The Na(+)/Ca(2+)-exchange is regulated by transported and non-transported external and internal cations, and shows ATP(i)-, pH- and temperature-dependence. The main problem in determining the role of Na(+)/Ca(2+)-exchange in excitation-secretion/contraction coupling is the lack of specific (mode-selective) blockers. During recent years, evidence has been accumulated for co-localisation of the Na(+)-pump, and the Na(+)/Ca(2+)-exchanger and their possible functional interaction in the "restricted" or "fuzzy space." In cardiac failure, the Na(+)-pump is down-regulated, while the exchanger is up-regulated. If the exchanger is working in normal mode (Ca(2+)-extrusion) during most of the cardiac cycle, upregulation of the exchanger may result in SR Ca(2+)-store depletion and further impairment in contractility. If so, a normal mode selective Na(+)/Ca(2+)-exchange inhibitor would be useful therapy for decompensation, and unlike CGs would not increase internal Na(+). In peripheral sympathetic nerves, pre-synaptic alpha(2)-receptors may regulate not only the VSCCs but possibly the reverse Na(+)/Ca(2+)-exchange as well.

Abstract
Recent progresses concerning the Na/Ca exchanger (NCX) and the plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPase (PMCA) in the pancreatic beta cell are reviewed. The rat beta cell expresses two splice variants of NCX1 and six splice variants of the 4 PMCA isoforms. At the protein level, the most abundant forms are PMCA2 and PMCA3, providing the first evidence for the presence of these two isoforms in a non-neuronal tissue. Overexpression of NCX1 in an insulinoma cell line altered the initial rise in cytosolic-free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) induced by membrane depolarization and the return of the [Ca2+]i to the baseline value on membrane repolarization, indicating that NCX contributes to both Ca2+ inflow and outflow in the beta cell. In contrast, overexpression of the PMCA markedly reduced the global rise in Ca2+ induced by membrane depolarization, indicating that the PMCA has a capacity higher than expected to extrude Ca2+. Glucose, the main physiological stimulus of insulin release from the beta cell, has opposite effect on NCX and PMCA transcription, expression and activity, inducing an increase in the case of NCX and a decrease in the case of the PMCA. This indicates that when exposed to glucose, the beta cell switches from a low-efficiency Ca2+ extruding mechanism, the PMCA, to a high-capacity system, the NCX, in order to better face the increase in Ca2+ inflow induced by the sugar. To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of a reciprocal change in PMCA and NCX1 expression and activity in response to a given stimulus in any tissue.
