    Notes: Summary Islets from diabetic C57BL/KsJ db/db mice and normal C57BL/KsJ +/+ mice were loaded with 86Rb+ and micro-perifused with nonradioactive medium for 25 min. The appearance of 86Rb+ in the effluent could be described as the sum of two exponential functions with different proportionality constants. The rapid efflux component may have represented washout from the extracellular space, and had about the same proportionality constant in normal and diabetic mice. The slow efflux component probably reflected efflux across the islet cell plasma membranes. At 3 mmol/l D-glucose in the medium, the slow efflux was significantly retarded in diabetic as compared with normal mice. In normal mice, but not in diabetics, 20 mmol/l D-glucose inhibited the slow efflux component. It is concluded that the basal K+ permeability is decreased in KsJ db/db mouse islet cells, and that this abnormality may explain their persistant depolarization at low glucose concentrations.

    Notes: Summary The effects of 5-hydroxytryptamine and 5-hydroxytryptophan on insulin release and 45Ca2+ uptake in islets microdissected from ob/ob mice were studied. At a concentration of 4 mmol/l both compounds slightly stimulated insulin release at a low glucose concentration (3 mmol/l). Insulin release induced by 20 mmol/l D-glucose was inhibited by 4 mmol/l 5-hydroxytryptamine but potentiated by 4 mmol/l L-5-hydroxytryptophan. Mannoheptulose (20 mmol/l) blocked the combined effects of 20 mmol/l D-glucose and 4 mmol/l L-5-hydroxytryptophan on insulin release. 45Ca2+ uptake was inhibited by 4 mmol/l 5-hydroxytryptamine and stimulated by 4 mmol/l L-5-hydroxytryptophan. Mannoheptulose (20 mmol/l) did not affect the 45Ca2+ uptake induced by the latter. When 4 mmol/l L-5-hydroxytryptophan was present only during the 30-min preincubation period, 20 mmol/l-glucose-induced insulin release and 45Ca2+ uptake during a subsequent incubation period were inhibited. Externally added 5-hydroxytryptamine (4 mmol/l) did not change the effects of 4 mmol/l L-5-hydroxytryptophan on insulin release and 45Ca2+ uptake. It is concluded that, when added directly into the incubation medium, 5-hydroxytryptophan has effects on insulin release and 45Ca2+ uptake which are opposite to those observed when 5-hydroxytryptamine is added. These effects do not seem to be mediated by 5-hydroxytryptamine formed intracellularly from 5-hydroxytryptophan.

    Notes: Summary A previous study showed that the ability of glucose to stimulate insulin release was retained in islets stored at 8 °C for one week provided that glucose was present in a high concentration in the storage medium. The metabolic properties of islets stored in the cold have now been further explored in an attempt to clarify the protective effect of glucose. During storage in the cold the islet formation of 3H2O from (5-3H) glucose and oxygen consumption were only a few per cent of that of fresh islets whereas the uptake of 86Rb+ was 20–48%. Rewarming the cold-stored islets to 37 °C after one week of cold-storage restored the 86Rb+ uptake, the formation of 3H2O and 14CO2 from labelled glucose and oxygen consumption to 75, 80, 60 and 40% respectively of fresh islet levels. The results emphasize the usefulness of cold-storage for preservation of functionally intact isolated islets.

    Notes: Summary The uptake of45Ca2+ by a lanthanum-nondisplaceable pool in pancreatic islets was studied. Raising the extracellular D-glucose concentration from 3 to 20 mM stimulated the45Ca2+ uptake in hand-dissected islets of ob/ob-mice as well as in collagenase-isolated islets of ob/ob or normal mice. The effect was dose-dependent in the range of 0–20 mM D-glucose and was seen throughout a wide range of extracellular calcium concentrations (16 μmol — 2.56 mmol of Ca2+ added per litre of medium). The45Ca2+ uptake was also enhanced by other known insulin secretagogues (D-mannose, L-leucine, tolbutamide) and was uninfluenced by compounds lacking insulinreleasing capacity (3-O-methyl-D-glucose, L-glucose, D-galactose, D-leucine). The stimulatory effect of D-glucose was blocked by inhibitors of glucoseinduced insulin release (D-mannoheptulose, diazoxide, L-adrenaline). The results support the view that the lanthanum-nondisplaceable calcium pool is related to the insulin-releasing mechanism, although the exact nature of this relationship is still unclear.

    Notes: Summary Serum from normal blood-donors and juvenile diabetic patients inhibited Rb+ accumulation and stimulated release of 51Cr and insulin in suspensions of dispersed pancreatic islet cells prepared from ob/ob mouse islets, which are rich in B-cells. The effects indicate the presence of a B-cytotoxic factor in human serum. Serum from mouse and fetal calf also inhibited the islet cell accumulation of Rb+. Toxicity was not suppressed by treating serum with protein A-Sepharose and did not correlate with islet cell binding of fluorescent antibodies to human immunoglobulin. Whereas all sera inhibited Rb+ accumulation, 3 of 6 diabetic patient sera, but no blood-donor serum, made the cells fluoresce on exposure to the fluorescent antibodies. Supporting a dependence on complement, toxicity remained after dialysis, but was destroyed by treating serum with zymosan-A or heating at 56 ° for 30 min.

    Notes: Summary The study was aimed at testing the hypothesis that sulfonylureas do not readily penetrate the pancreaticβ-cells but more probably stimulate insulin release by a direct action on theβ-cell plasma membrane. Uptake of radioactively labelled tolbutamide and glibenclamide by microdissected pancreatic islets of obesehyperglycemic mice was compared with the uptake of 3-O-methyl-D-glucose, to which theβ-cells are permeable. In contrast to tolbutamide, glibenclamide was taken up in amounts exceeding the 3-O-methyl-D-glucose space of islets incubated in the absence of serum albumin. Uptake of the sulfonylureas was easily reversible. It was depressed by serum albumin, whereas glucose, leucine or diazoxide had no effects. Antimycin A,p-chloromercuriphenylsulfonic acid and chlorpromazine, all of which increase the uptake of extracellular space markers, strongly stimulated the islet uptake of tolbutamide and glibenclamide but had no effect on the uptake of glibenclamide by subcellular particles of homogenized islets. The results suggest that sulfonylureas bind reversibly to islet tissue but are normally restricted to the outside of theβ-cells.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Le transport de l'acide α-aminoisobutyrique (AIB) a été étudié dans des îlots pancréatiques microdisséqués de souris obèses-hyperglycémiques. Ces îlots sont caractérisés par une proportion inhabituellement élevée de celluleβ insulino-sécrétrices. Les principales observations suivantes ont été faites: 1. Les cellules des îlots montraient une captation concentrante d'AIB, aboutissant à des rapports de distribution bien plus élevés que l'unité. La captation était diminuée par l'anoxie et par la suppression de sodium du milieu. 2. La L-alanine et la L-méthionine, mais non la L-leucine, réduisaient l'accumulation d'AIB dans les îlots qui avaient été préincubés en l'absence d'acide aminé exogène. Après charge préalable avec la L-alanine il y avait une captation accrue d'AIB. 3. Le D-glucose, le D-galactose, le diazoxide, le 3′,5′-AMP cyclique dibutyril et le D-mannoheptulose avaient des effets mineurs ou non significatifs sur la captation d'AIB. 4. La libération d'AIB des cellules insulaires était stimulée par l'AIB exogène ou par la L-alanine. Les auteurs concluent que les cellulesβ pancréatiques contiennent un mécanisme pour le transport des acides aminés neutres semblable au système A de beaucoup d'autres cellules. L'effet stimulant du glucose sur la biosynthèse de l'insuline ne semble pas être assuré par l'intermédiaire de ce système. Le co-transport d'acide aminé et de sodium ne suffit probablement pas à provoquer une décharge d'insuline à partir de cellulesβ mûres.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Der Transport von α-Aminoisobuttersäure (ABS) wurde in mikrosezierten Pankreasinseln von fettsüchtigen hyperglykämischen Mäusen untersucht. Diese Inseln sind durch eine ungewöhnlich hohe Menge von Insulin sezernierendenβ-Zellen charakterisiert. Es wurden folgende wesentliche Beobachtungen gemacht: 1. Die Inselzellen führten eine konzentrierende Aufnahme von ABS durch. Die Aufnahme wurde durch Anoxämie und durch Fehlen von Natrium im Milieu verringert. 2. L-Alanin und 1-Methionin, aber nicht 1-Leuzin verringerten die Speicherung von ABS in den Inseln, die ohne exogene Aminosäuren vorinkubiert worden waren. Nach einer vorherigen Anreicherung mit 1-Alanin wurde ABS verstärkt aufgenommen. 3. D-Glukose, D-Galaktose, Diazoxid, dibutyryl zyklisches 3,5-AMP und D-Manno-heptulose hatten einen geringeren Effekt auf die ABS-Aufnahme. 4. Der Efflux von ABS aus den Inselzellen wurde durch exogenes ABS oder 1-Alanin stimuliert. Es wurde daraus geschlossen, daß dieβ-Zellen des Pankreas einen Mechanismus für den Transport von neutralen Aminosäuren, ähnlich dem A-System mancher anderer Zellen enthalten. Der stimulierende Effekt von Glukose auf die Insulin-Biosynthese scheint nicht durch diesen vermittelt zu sein. Der Ko-Transport von Aminosäuren und Natrium ist wahrscheinlich nicht ausreichend, um Insulin aus der reifenβ-Zelle zu entladen.
    Notes: Summary Transport of α-aminoisobutyric acid (AIB) was studied in microdissected pancreatic islets of obesehyperglycaemic mice. These islets are characterized by an unusually high proportion of insulin-secretingβ-cells. The following main observations were made. 1. The islet cells exhibited a concentrative uptake of AIB, yielding distribution ratios much higher than unity. The uptake was depressed by anoxia and by the omission of sodium from the medium. 2. L-Alanine and L-methionine, but not L-leucine, reduced the accumulation of AIB in islets which had been preincubated in the absence of exogenous amino acid. After preloading with L-alanine there was an enhanced uptake of AIB. 3. D-Glucose, D-galactose, diazoxide, dibutyryl cyclic 3′,5′-AMP, and D-mannoheptulose had minor or insignificant effects on the uptake of AIB. 4. Efflux of AIB from the islet cells was stimulated by exogenous AIB or L-alanine. It is concluded that the pancreaticβ-cells contain a mechanism for transport of neutral amino acids similar to the A-system of many other cells. The stimulating effect of glucose on insulin biosynthesis does not seem to be mediated by this system. Co-transport of amino acid and sodium is probably not enough to elicit a discharge of insulin from matureβ-cells.

    Notes: Summary When equilibrated with O2-CO2 (95:5), pancreatic islets of non-inbredob/ob-mice exhibited a sigmoidal dependence of3H2O production on D-(5-3H)-glucose concentration; the rate was most sensitive to changes of glucose concentration around 5mM and tended to be maximum above about 15 mM glucose.3H2O production from more than 5 mM D-(5-3H)-glucose was about twice as fast as the production of14CO2 from equimolar D-(U-14C)-glucose. Islets equilibrated with N2-CO2 (95:5) did not exhibit a sigmoidal dose-response curve for3H2O production, the process being inhibited by anoxia at glucose concentrations above 5mM. Pieces of exocrine pancreas had a slower aerobic3H2O production than the islets and showed a clear enhancement of the process during anoxia. In comparison with oxygenated islets, anoxic islets exhibited decreased concentrations of glucose-6-phosphate and increased concentrations of fructose-l,6-diphosphate. The concomitant inhibition of glycolytic flux may be due to a low lactate dehydrogenase activity in islets yielding a slow reoxidation of NADH and a slow phosphoglyceraldehyde oxidation under anaerobic conditions.

    Notes: Summary Fluxes of 86Rb+ and hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl phosphate were measured in collagenase-isolated islets of diabetic C57BL/KsJ-db/db-mice and normal controls (C57BL/KsJ-+/+). Both types of islets accumulated Rb+ avidly, as originally reported for hand-dissected islets of non-inbred ob/ ob-mice. KsJ-db/db-mouse islets showed enhanced accumulation of Rb+ and normal acitivity of K+-activated nitrophenyl phosphatase. D-glucose, 20 mmol/l, inhibited Rb+ efflux in normal islets but not in those from KsJ-db/db-mice. The glucose insensitivity of Rb+ efflux was observed in young animals, which exhibit glucose-induced insulin release, as well as in old animals, which do not secrete insulin in response to glucose. The anomalous regulation of Rb+ efflux already present in young animals may bear on the liability of KsJ-db/db-mouse B-cells to develop defective control of membrane potential, an abnormal metabolism of cyclic AMP, and a marked failure of insulin secretory capacity.
