Control of Insulin Secretion by Cholinergic Signaling in the Human Pancreatic Islet

Abstract: Acetylcholine regulates hormone secretion from the pancreatic islet and is thus crucial for glucose homeostasis. Little is known, however, about acetylcholine (cholinergic) signaling in the human islet. We recently reported that in the human islet, acetylcholine is primarily a paracrine signal released from α-cells rather than primarily a neural signal as in rodent islets. In this study, we demonstrate that the effects acetylcholine produces in the human islet are different and more complex than expected from … Show more

“…Elevated FEV, TPH1, and SLC6A4 expression suggests PP/ gamma cells share a suite of characteristic genes with serotonergic neurons that, in the pancreas, integrate central and peripheral hunger and satiety cues. We also observed high PP/gamma expression of muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M3, CHRM3, which stimulates exocrine pancreatic amylase (Gautam et al 2005), insulin secretion (Kong and Tobin 2011;Molina et al 2014), and smooth muscle contraction and gastric emptying (Eglen et al 1994). These data implicate the less abundant delta and PP/gamma cell types as critical for islet function via the integration of systemic cues and warrant further studies to elucidate the function and health of these cells in normal and diabetogenic conditions.…”

“…The functions of different cell types within Langerhans islets are precisely regulated by paracrine interactions, and these coordinate the rate and level of reciprocal insulin and glucagon secretion, thereby maintaining glucose homeostasis in response to changes in nutrient levels in different physiological contexts (1)(2)(3)(4). The disruption of this fine-tuned islet circuit by the aberrant regulation of paracrine islet interactions plays an important role in the development of diabetes (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9).…”
