Noradrenaline inhibition of Ca2+ channels and secretion in single patch‐clamped insulinoma cells

Abstract: Noradrenaline effects on voltage-operated calcium channels and exocytosis were studied, for the first time, in single patch-clamped RINm5F insulin-secreting cells. Noradrenaline, despite small and variable inhibition of calcium currents, strongly inhibited the increase in membrane capacitance (a measure of exocytosis) stimulated by both step depolarizations and the calcium ionophore, ionomycin. Noradrenaline similarly inhibited KCI-and ionomycin-induced [3H]serotonin release from RINmSF cell populations. Norad… Show more

“…Thus, the expected maximal increase in C m due to fusion of the entire pool of insulin containing granules of RINm5F cells will most likely not exceed 100 fF. Although qualitatively similar results to those reported here have been shown in a study using RINm5F cells, the C m changes in RINm5F cells exceeded 1 pF and can, thus, probably not account for exocytosis of insulin granules [17]. This makes the INS‐1 cells more suitable for such studies.…”

“…Pancreatic β cells express a wide variety of heterotrimeric G‐proteins [198] and the role of the plasma membrane receptor activated heterotrimeric GTPases in the general regulation of insulin secretion has been fairly well investigated [9–13]. However, regulation of levels of second messengers such as Ca 2+ or cAMP cannot solely explain the observed effect of GPCR activation on secretion (for example see [199–203]). A direct control of secretion at the level of exocytosis by plasma membrane activated G‐proteins would offer several advantages to the cell.…”

“…Controlled permeabilization of the cellular plasma membrane to gain access to the cytosol permits to maintain the concentrations of intracellular second messengers such as Ca 2+ or cAMP at constant levels [64]. The persistence of GPCR‐mediated inhibition of exocytosis under these circumstances indicates a general role for heterotrimeric GTPases in the direct control of secretion at a late step of exocytosis in pancreatic β cells and in the neuroendocrine clonal cell lines AtT‐20 and PC12 [199–206]. The refined analysis of the inhibitory effect in streptolysin‐O permeabilized clonal and primary β cells ruled out any participation of diffusible molecules including large cytosolic proteins and revealed that all α i isoforms and α o 2, but not α o 1, are efficient mediators of the inhibitory G i /G o effect [207].…”

“…Using this method, it has been shown that tolbutamide increases C m without changing the Ca 2+ -influx in mouse β cells suggesting a direct effect on exocytosis [5]. When inhibitors were applied to cells under voltage clamp and exocytosis stimulated by depolarising voltage pulses, the increase in C m was inhibited by galanin, somatostatin and α 2 -adrenoceptor activation [4,21,22]. …”
