Influence of thiol groups, calcium, and glucose metabolism on cholinergic-induced insulin release and on methylscopolamine binding to muscarinic receptors in pancreatic islets of the rat

Abstract: Short-term regulation of [3H]methylscopolamine binding to muscarinic receptors and acetylcholineinduced stimulation of insulin release was investigated in pancreatic islets of the rat. Binding of methylscopolamine was reversible; 47% of label was displaced 10 min and 70% 30 min after addition of unlabelled substance. 0.1 mM chloromercuribensoic acid, when present during binding incubations, inhibited binding by 54%, whereas acetylcholine-induced insulin release was unaffected by the presence of the thiol react… Show more

“…At a non-stimulatory concentration of glucose (3 mM), a small and progressive increase in insulin release was caused by 100 gM-, but not by 1 sM-ACh. This observation agrees both with our previous reports that 1 ,UM-ACh is ineffective [8,1 1] and with reports by others that high concentrations of muscarinic agonists slightly stimulate release by islets incubated at sub-stimulatory concentrations of glucose [21,22]. The kinetics, magnitude and Ca2"-dependency of the release of insulin evoked by 100 1uM-ACh in the presence of 3 mM-glucose are strikingly similar to those of insulin release induced by 20 mM-arginine or by a moderately elevated (14 mM) concentration of K+ [11,36].…”

“…Glucose has no short-term effects on the number and affinity ofmuscarinic receptors, but prolonged incubation of islets in a Ca2l-free medium has been shown to decrease methylscopolamine binding to these receptors [21]. However, Ca2l omission did not cause a generalized decrease in ACh efficiency.…”
