Effects of calcium buffering on glucose‐induced insulin release in mouse pancreatic islets: an approximation to the calcium sensor
Open accessAbstract
1. The properties of the calcium sensor for glucose-induced insulin secretion have been studied using cell-permeant Ca2+ buffers with distinct kinetics and affinities. In addition, submembrane cytosolic Ca2+ distribution has been modelled after trains of glucose-induced action potential-like depolarizations. 2. Slow Ca2+ buffers (around 1 mmol l-1 intracellular concentration) with different affinities (EGTA and Calcium Orange-5N) did not significantly affect glucose-induced insulin release. Modelling showed no effect on cytosolic Ca2+ concentrations at the outermost shell (0.05 microm), their effects being observed in the innermost shells dependent on Ca2+ affinity. 3. In contrast, fast Ca2+ buffers (around 1 mmol l-1 intracellular concentration) with different affinities (BAPTA and Calcium Green-5N) caused a 50 % inhibition of early insulin response and completely blocked the late phase of glucose-induced insulin response, their simulations showing a decrease of [Ca2+]i at both the inner and outermost shells. 4. These data are consistent with the existence in pancreatic beta-cells of a higher affinity Ca2+ sensor than that proposed for neurons. Moreover, these data are consistent with the proposed existence of two distinct pools of granules: (i) 'primed' vesicles, colocalized with Ca2+ channels and responsible of the first phase of insulin release; and (ii) 'reserved pool' vesicles, not colocalized and responsible for the second phase.

Regulation of rapid insulin granule exocytosis by [Ca2+]i close to the Ca2+ channel would be consistent with the observed low Ca2+ sensitivity of exocytosis and the finding that 1st phase (but not 2nd phase) insulin secretion is resistant to EGTA but is inhibited by BAPTA.
“Regulation of rapid insulin granule exocytosis by [Ca2+]i close to the Ca2+ channel would be consistent with the observed low Ca2+ sensitivity of exocytosis (tens of micromolar) and the finding that 1st phase (but not 2nd phase) insulin secretion is resistant to introduction of the slow Ca2+ chelator EGTA but is inhibited by the fast chelator BAPTA (510) (illustrated schematically in Figure 20C).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
