Evidence for the possible involvement of the P2Y(6) receptor in Ca (2+) mobilization and insulin secretion in mouse pancreatic islets.

ABSTRACT: Subtypes of purinergic receptors involved in modulation of cytoplasmic calcium ion concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) and insulin release in mouse pancreatic beta-cells were examined in two systems, pancreatic islets in primary culture and beta-TC6 insulinoma cells. Both systems exhibited some physiological responses such as acetylcholine-stimulated [Ca(2+)](i) rise via cytoplasmic Ca(2+) mobilization. Addition of ATP, ADP, and 2-MeSADP (each 100 microM) transiently increased [Ca(2+)](i) in single islets cultured in the presence of 5.5 mM (normal) glucose. The potent P2Y(1) receptor agonist 2-MeSADP reduced insulin secretion significantly in islets cultured in the presence of high glucose (16.7 mM), whereas a slight stimulation occurred at 5.5 mM glucose. The selective P2Y(6) receptor agonist UDP (200 microM) transiently increased [Ca(2+)](i) and reduced insulin secretion at high glucose, whereas the P2Y(2/4) receptor agonist UTP and adenosine receptor agonist NECA were inactive. [Ca(2+)](i) transients induced by 2-MeSADP and UDP were antagonized by suramin (100 microM), U73122 (2 microM, PLC inhibitor), and 2-APB (10 or 30 microM, IP(3) receptor antagonist), but neither by staurosporine (1 microM, PKC inhibitor) nor depletion of extracellular Ca(2+). The effect of 2-MeSADP on [Ca(2+)](i) was also significantly inhibited by MRS2500, a P2Y(1) receptor antagonist. These results suggested that P2Y(1) and P2Y(6) receptor subtypes are involved in Ca(2+) mobilization from intracellular stores and insulin release in mouse islets. In beta-TC6 cells, ATP, ADP, 2-MeSADP, and UDP transiently elevated [Ca(2+)](i) and slightly decreased insulin secretion at normal glucose, while UTP and NECA were inactive. RT-PCR analysis detected mRNAs of P2Y(1) and P2Y(6), but not P2Y(2) and P2Y(4) receptors.

Project description:Lorcaserin is a serotonergic agonist specific to the 5-hydroxytryptamine 2c receptor (5-HT2CR) that is FDA approved for the long-term management of obesity with or without at least one weight-related comorbidity. Lorcaserin can restrain patients' appetite and improve insulin sensitivity and hyperinsulinemia mainly through activating 5-HT2CR in the hypothalamus. It is known that the mCPP, a kind of 5-HT2CR agonist, decreases plasma insulin concentration in mice and previous research in our laboratory found that mCPP inhibited glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) by activating 5-HT2CR on the β cells. However, the effect of lorcaserin on GSIS of pancreatic β cell has not been studied so far. The present study found that 5-HT2CR was expressed in both mouse pancreatic β cells and β-cell-derived MIN6 cells. Dose-dependent activation of 5-HT2CR by lorcaserin suppressed GSIS and SB242084 or knockdown of 5-HT2CR abolished lorcaserin's effect in vitro. Additionally, lorcaserin also suppressed GSIS in high-fat diet (HFD)-fed mice in dose-dependent manner. Lorcaserin did not change insulin synthesis ATP content, but lorcaserin decrease cytosolic free calcium level [(Ca2+)i] in MIN6 cells stimulated with glucose and also inhibit insulin secretion and (Ca2+)i in MIN6 treated with potassium chloride. Furthermore, stimulation with the L-type channel agonist, Bay K8644 did not restore GSIS in MIN6 exposed to lorcaserin. Lorcaserin inhibits the cAMP generation of MIN6 cells and pretreatment with the Gα i/o inhibitor pertussis toxin (PTX), abolished lorcaserin-induced suppression of GSIS in β cells, while membrane-permeable cAMP analogue db-cAMP had same effect as PTX. These date indicated lorcaserin coupled to PTX-sensitive Gα i/o proteins in β cells reduced intracellular cAMP level and Ca2+ influx, thereby causing GSIS dysfunction of β cell. These results highlight a novel signaling mechanism of lorcaserin and provide valuable insights into the further investigation of 5-HT2CR functions in β-cell biology and it also provides guidance for the clinical application of lorcaserin.
