Internalization of 3H-glibenclamide in pancreatic islet cells

Abstract: Diabetologia © Springer-Veflag 1986 Summary. As judged by autoradiographic criteria at the optical level, rat islet cells progressively accumulate 3H-glibenclamide over 1 to 30 min incubation at 24 °C. The labeled material associates with all endocrine cells, but is preferentially seen within B cells. The total uptake of 3H-glibenclamide (1.0 Ixmol/1) is little affected by the presence of unlabeled glibenclamide (0.2 mmol/1), but is significantly decreased at 4 °C (p < 0.05). At the electron microscopic lev… Show more

“…Desensitization of receptor mediated processes by permanent binding of the ligand to its receptor involving distinct molecular mechanisms is well established for several hormone signaling pathways, i.e., /3-adrenergic receptors (for a review, see Benovic et al [32]). In this respect, it is interesting that internalization of glibenclamide has been reported for HIT T15 cells (Carpentier et ah [33]). If this based on endocytosis of the sulfonylurea receptor when occupied by the ligand, it may represent a mechanism for desensitization by down regulation of the number of sulfonylurea receptors at the cell surface which will be more pronounced for sulfonylureas with lower exchange rate.…”

“…Furthermore, reports show that Ͼ90% of glibenclamide-binding sites are localized intracellularly in the ␤-cell (7,31). Interestingly, under chronic treat-ment, glibenclamide specifically and progressively accumulates in islets in association with secretory granules and mitochondria and causes long-lasting stimulation of insulin secretion (21).…”

“…Since these channels are responsible for the maintenance of a repolarized (negative) membrane potential in the ␤ cell, addition of sulfonylureas results in membrane depolarization that culminates in Ca -dependent insulin secretion (5). Surprisingly, the majority (90%) of the high-affinity sulfonylurea binding sites in the ␤ cell are intracellular and appear to associate with the insulin-containing secretory granules (6,7), far away from the K ATP channels in the plasma membrane. The role of these intracellular sulfonylurea receptors is not known.…”
