Glucose augmentation of mastoparan-stimulated insulin secretion in rat and human pancreatic islets.

Abstract: Mastoparan, a tetradecapeptide component of wasp venom, activates heterotrimeric G-proteins and stimulates exocytosis in several cell types, including the pancreatic beta-cell. In this study, its effects on insulin secretion were assessed in both rat and human pancreatic islets, along with the ability of glucose and alpha-ketoisocaproate (alpha-KIC) to augment mastoparan-stimulated release. In Ca2+-free Krebs-Ringer bicarbonate buffer containing 2.8 mmol/l glucose, 20 micromol/l mastoparan stimulated insulin s… Show more

“…Superphysiologic [cAMP] i , ϳ100-fold higher than basal levels, obtained with IBMX plus forskolin, has no stimulatory effect on insulin release from wild-type islets in low glucose, but does strongly potentiate insulin release from Sur1KO islets, which have elevated [Ca 2ϩ ] i , even in low glucose. The impaired response to incretins does not appear to result from a generalized defect in exocytosis, since insulin release is comparably stimulated from wildtype and Sur1KO islets by activators of PKC pathways and by mastoparan, which is reported to activate exocytosis at a late, GTP-dependent step (47,48).…”

“…The insulinotropic peptide mastoparan stimulates insulin release from Sur1KO islets. Mastoparan is a cationic, amphiphilic, 14 amino acid peptide that stimulates insulin release (46) reportedly at a late stage of exocytosis (47,48), an effect that is attenuated by pertussis toxin (46), independent of increased [Ca 2ϩ ] i (47,49), augmented by nutrients, and dependent on GTP (48). Mastoparan prompts insulin release from Sur1KO islets in the absence of external Ca 2ϩ , and this effect is augmented by glucose, 3.5 Ϯ 0.8-fold for wild-type vs. 1.6 Ϯ 0.9-fold for Sur1KO islets (Fig.…”

“…In the present study, clozapine did not affect mastoparan-induced insulin secretion at 3.3 mmol/l glucose, but did suppress its augmentation of glucose in a Ca 2+ -independent manner. Glucose augments posttranslational modifications of specific small G proteins in a GTP-sensitive manner [38,39], and glucose augmentation is extremely dependent on GTP, which increases in parallel with ATP on glucose stimulation [40]. Therefore, clozapine may affect the activation of a specific G protein by inhibiting ATP production, and this could contribute, at least in part, to the alteration in distal steps of insulin secretion.…”

“…This finding can be explained through the "K ATP channel-independent" pathway of glucose-induced secretion. Glucose "augmentation" routes have been described in rodent (36 -38) and human insulin-secreting cells (39,40). These pathways are uncovered in normal beta cells by using pharmacological agents that eliminate the contribution of K ATP channels to the operation of beta cells and are now recognized as accounting for the second phase of insulin release.…”
