Glucose-mediated inhibition of calcium-activated potassium channels limits α-cell calcium influx and glucagon secretion
Pancreatic α-cells exhibit oscillations in cytosolic Ca (Ca ), which control pulsatile glucagon (GCG) secretion. However, the mechanisms that modulate α-cell Ca oscillations have not been elucidated. As β-cell Ca oscillations are regulated in part by Ca -activated K (K ) currents, this work investig...

| Shrnutí: | Pancreatic α-cells exhibit oscillations in cytosolic Ca
(Ca
), which control pulsatile glucagon (GCG) secretion. However, the mechanisms that modulate α-cell Ca
oscillations have not been elucidated. As β-cell Ca
oscillations are regulated in part by Ca
-activated K
(K
) currents, this work investigated the role of K
in α-cell Ca
handling and GCG secretion. α-Cells displayed K
currents that were dependent on Ca
influx through L- and P/Q-type voltage-dependent Ca
channels (VDCCs) as well as Ca
released from endoplasmic reticulum stores. α-Cell K
was decreased by small-conductance Ca
-activated K
(SK) channel inhibitors apamin and UCL 1684, large-conductance Ca
-activated K
(BK) channel inhibitor iberiotoxin (IbTx), and intermediate-conductance Ca
-activated K
(IK) channel inhibitor TRAM 34. Moreover, partial inhibition of α-cell K
with apamin depolarized membrane potential ( V
) (3.8 ± 0.7 mV) and reduced action potential (AP) amplitude (10.4 ± 1.9 mV). Although apamin transiently increased Ca
influx into α-cells at low glucose (42.9 ± 10.6%), sustained SK (38.5 ± 10.4%) or BK channel inhibition (31.0 ± 11.7%) decreased α-cell Ca
influx. Total α-cell Ca
was similarly reduced (28.3 ± 11.1%) following prolonged treatment with high glucose, but it was not decreased further by SK or BK channel inhibition. Consistent with reduced α-cell Ca
following prolonged K
inhibition, apamin decreased GCG secretion from mouse (20.4 ± 4.2%) and human (27.7 ± 13.1%) islets at low glucose. These data demonstrate that K
activation provides a hyperpolarizing influence on α-cell V
that sustains Ca
entry during hypoglycemic conditions, presumably by preventing voltage-dependent inactivation of P/Q-type VDCCs. Thus, when α-cell Ca
is elevated during secretagogue stimulation, K
activation helps to preserve GCG secretion. |
