The effect of starvation on phosphodiesterase activity and the content of adenosine 3' :5'-cyclic monophosphate in isolated mouse pancreatic islets.

ABSTRACT: 1. The concentration of cyclic AMP and the activity of phosphodiesterase were measured in isolated pancreatic islets from fed or 48h-starved mice. 2. Two different phosphodiesterases were detected. Neither the maximum activity nor the K(m) values of these enzymes were changed by starvation. 3. The concentration of cyclic AMP in non-incubated islets was the same in islets from fed and starved mice. 4. Incubation with 3.3mm-glucose for 5-30min had no effect on the concentration of cyclic AMP, irrespective of the nutritional state of the mice. Incubation with 16.7mm-glucose for 5-30min raised the concentration of cyclic AMP by about 30% in islets from fed mice. This rise was prevented by addition of mannoheptulose (3mg/ml). Incubation with 16.7mm-glucose had no effect on the cyclic AMP content in islets from starved mice. 5. In islets from fed mice 10min incubation with 5mm-caffeine had no effect on the concentration of cyclic AMP in the presence of 3.3 or 16.7mm-glucose, whereas the cyclic AMP content was increased approx. 150% in islets from starved mice. 6. After 10min incubation with 1mm-3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine in the presence of 3.3 or 16.7mm-glucose the concentration of cyclic AMP was raised by 250% in islets from fed mice and by 400% in islets from starved mice. 7. A threefold function of glucose in the insulin-secretory process is suggested, according to which the decreased islet glucose metabolism is the primary defect in the insulin-secretory mechanism during starvation.

Concentration of adenosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate in mouse pancreatic islets measured by a protein-binding radioassay.

Project description:A protein-binding radioassay for cyclic AMP was modified to detect less than 0.025pmol of the nucleotide. The method was applied to the measurement of cyclic AMP in small numbers of mouse pancreatic islets (as little as 25mug of tissue) by use of barium acetate-H(2)SO(4) for deproteinization. The concentration of cyclic AMP in mouse islets incubated in media containing 3.3 or 20mm-glucose was 0.016pmol/10 islets (approx. 1mum in intracellular water). Glucose concentration (3.3 or 20mm) had no detectable effect on islet concentrations of cyclic AMP with periods of incubation or perifusion ranging from 0.5 to 60min, although insulin release rate was rapidly increased by 20mm-glucose. Caffeine (5mm) or 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (1mm), which are known inhibitors of islet cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase, produced marked and rapid increases in islet cyclic AMP concentration at 3.3 or 20mm-glucose, but only enhanced the insulin release rate at the higher glucose concentration. The role of cyclic AMP in insulin release induced by glucose is discussed.

Opposite effects of starvation on oxidation of [14C]adenosine and adenosine-induced insulin release by isolated mouse pancreatic islets.

Project description:To test further the hypothesis that ribonucleosides stimulate insulin secretion and biosynthesis by producing metabolic signals, the effects of starvation on adenosine-stimulated insulin production and the oxidation of adenosine by isolated mouse pancreatic islets were examined. No direct correlation was found between the metabolic flux and insulin secretion, since the starvation-induced impairment of the adenosine-stimulated insulin secretion was accompanied by an increased rate of adenosine oxidation. Adenosine-stimulated insulin biosynthesis was, however, unaffected by starvation.

The pentose cycle and insulin release in isolated mouse pancreatic islets during starvation.

Project description:When islets from mice were incubated with 16.7 mM-glucose, previous starvation for 48 h decreased the rate of insulin release by approx. 50% and glucose utilization was decreased by approx. 35%. The maximally extractable activity of glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase was diminished by 28% after starvation. The formation of 14CO2 from both [1-14C]glucose was, however, higher than the rate of oxidation of [6-14C]-glucose in islets from both fed and starved mice. The fraction of glucose utilized that was oxidized (specific 14CO2 yield) ranged from one-fifth to one-third and was higher in islets from starved mice with both [1-14C]glucose and [6-14C]glucose as substrate. The contribution of pentose-cycle oxidation to total glucose metabolism was small (3% in the fed state and 4% in the starved state). The absolute rates of glucose carbon metabolism via the pentose-cycle oxidation to total glucose metabolism was small (3% in the fed state and 4% in the starved state). The absolute rates of glucose carbon metabolism via the pentose cycle and the turnover of NADPH in this pathway were identical in islets from fed and starved animals. After incubation at 16.7 mM-glucose for 30 min the contents of glucose (6-phosphate and 6-phosphogluconate were both unchanged by starvation. It is concluded that there is no correlation between the decreased sensitivity of the insulin secretory mechanism during starvation and the metabolism of glucose via the pentose cycle, the islet content of glucose 6-phosphate or 6-phosphogluconate.

Carvone Decreases Melanin Content by Inhibiting Melanoma Cell Proliferation via the Cyclic Adenosine Monophosphate (cAMP) Pathway.

Project description:Melanin, which determines the color of the skin and hair, is initially synthesized to protect the skin from ultraviolet light; however, excessive melanin pigmentation caused by abnormal cell proliferation can result in various melanocytic lesions. Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) is known to regulate cell cycle progression and consequently to inhibit the division of abnormally proliferating cells. In this work, we aimed to test whether carvone, a scent compound from plants, inhibits proliferation and subsequently reduces melanin content of melanoma cells and to determine whether its beneficial effects are mediated by the cAMP pathway. We found that carvone decreases melanin content and inhibits melanoma cell proliferation in a concentration-dependent manner. Meanwhile, it inhibited the activation of cell cycle-associated proteins such as cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (CDK1). Of note, the beneficial effects of carvone were abrogated by cAMP inhibition. Our findings indicate potential benefits of carvone for the treatment of melanomas and presumably other hyperpigmentation-related dermatological disorders such as melasmas, lentigines, and excessive freckles.

The role of adenosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate in the regulation of insulin release. Properties of islet-cell adenosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate phosphodiesterase.

Project description:1. An assay has been developed with sufficient sensitivity for determination of the adenosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate diesterase activity in islets of Langerhans, and has been used to investigate the response of the enzyme to various agents which are known to affect insulin release. 2. The subcellular distribution of the enzyme in islets of Langerhans prepared from guinea-pig pancreas was investigated and over 70% of the activity present in the original homogenate was recovered in the supernatant fraction. 3. Gel filtration of the activity present in the supernatant fraction on Sephadex G-200 gave a single peak of activity with an apparent molecular weight of 200000. The phosphodiesterase activity in the peak fraction showed two apparent K(m) values for adenosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate (cyclic AMP) of 3mum and 30mum, suggesting the presence of two activities. The pH optimum of the activity with the low K(m) value was 8.7. 4. Theophylline, caffeine, 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (SC-2964), glibenclamide, tolbutamide, xylitol and leucine were inhibitors of the activity with the low K(m) value; imidazole and arginine stimulated the activity, and glucose and diazoxide were without significant effect. 5. It is suggested that the agents theophylline, caffeine, SC-2964, glibenclamide, tolbutamide, leucine and imidazole may alter the intracellular concentration of cyclic AMP in islets of Langerhans by affecting the cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase activity in islet cells and in this way may affect insulin release.

Cyclic guanosine monophosphate signaling and phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors in cardioprotection.

Project description:Cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) is an important intracellular second messenger that mediates multiple tissue and cellular responses. The cGMP pathway is a key element in the pathophysiology of the heart and its modulation by drugs such as phosphodiesterase (PDE)-5 inhibitors and guanylate cyclase activators may represent a promising therapeutic approach for acute myocardial infarction, cardiac hypertrophy, heart failure, and doxorubicin cardiotoxicity in patients. In addition, PDE-5 inhibitors may prove to be innovative therapeutic agents for enhancing the chemosensitivity of doxorubicin while providing concurrent cardiac benefit.

The role of adenosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate in the regulation of insulin release by isolated rat islets of Langerhans.

Project description:1. Concentrations of cyclic AMP (adenosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate) and rates of insulin release were measured in islets of Langerhans isolated from rat pancreas and incubated for various times in the presence of glucose, 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine, caffeine, theophylline, adrenaline and diazoxide. 2. Caffeine and theophylline produced small but significant increases in both cyclic AMP and release of insulin when they were incubated in the presence of 10mm-glucose. 3. 3-Isobutyl-1-methylxanthine produced a marked increase in the intracellular concentration of cyclic AMP in the presence of 5mm- and 10mm-glucose. However, insulin release was stimulated only in the presence of 10mm-glucose. 4. In response to rising concentrations of extracellular glucose (5-20mm) there was no detectable increase in the intracellular concentration of cyclic AMP even though there was a marked increase in the rate of insulin release. 5. In response to 10mm-glucose insulin release occurred in two phases and 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine potentiated the effect of glucose on both phases. The intracellular concentration of cyclic AMP remained constant with glucose and rose within 10min to its maximum value with 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine. 6. Adrenaline and diazoxide inhibited insulin release and lowered the intracellular concentration of cyclic AMP when islets were incubated with glucose or 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine. 7. It is suggested that glucose does not stimulate insulin release by increasing the concentration of cyclic AMP in islet cells. However, the concentration of cyclic AMP in islet cells may modulate the effect of glucose on the release process.

An effect of insulin on adipose-tissue adenosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate phosphodiesterase.

Project description:1. 3':5'-Cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase activity was measured in homogenates prepared from epididymal fat-pads and isolated fat-cells incubated in the absence and presence of insulin. 2. Homogenates of insulin-treated tissues showed an increase in phosphodiesterase activity compared with controls. No effect of insulin was observed when the hormone was added directly to homogenates. 3. There was kinetic evidence for the presence of two 3':5'-cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases in adipose tissue. Insulin raised the maximal velocity of the low-K(m) enzyme and lowered the K(m) of the higher-K(m) enzyme. 4. It is suggested that the effect of insulin on adipose tissue phosphodiesterase accounts for the ability of this hormone to lower cyclic-AMP concentration in the tissue.
