Local and regional control of calcium dynamics in the pancreatic islet

Abstract: Ca2+ is the key intracellular regulator of insulin secretion, acting in the β-cell as the ultimate trigger for exocytosis. β-cell function and survival. Across the islet, intercellular communication between highly interconnected "hubs," which act as pacemaker β-cells, and subservient "followers," ensures efficient insulin secretion. Loss of connectivity is seen after the deletion of genes associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and follows metabolic and inflammatory insults that characterize this disease. Hubs, … Show more

“…There are certainly several open questions regarding connectivity in general and the nature of hub cells in specific and they have been recently summarized in a comprehensive review. 190 Here we only wish to point out that in accordance with predictions, 182 , 185 evidence is accumulating that the hub or pacemaker cells are metabolically highly active, 186 , 191 and display some phenotypic characteristics of immature cells, such as high levels of glucokinase, a low insulin content and a low expression of pancreatic duodenum homeobox-1 (Pdx1) and NK6 homeobox 1 (Nkx6.1). A less mature phenotype is also consistent with a lower threshold for insulin secretion.…”

“…Subsequent depolarization of the plasma membrane leads to opening of voltage-gated Ca 2+ channels, Ca 2+ dependent assembly of the SNARE (SNAP (Soluble NSF Attachment Protein) Receptor) complex and exocytosis [3]. In the intact islet, βcell-β-cell connections allow coordinated insulin secretion through propagation of Ca 2+ and other signals [4,5,6] a process impaired by glucolipotoxicity [7], and affected by genes implicated in diabetes risk through genome-wide association studies (GWAS) such as ADCY5 [8] and TCF7L2 [9].…”
