Amplification of exocytosis by Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release in INS-1 pancreatic beta cells.
Functional coupling between Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+) release (CICR) and quantal exocytosis in 5-hydroxytryptamine-loaded INS-1 beta cells was assessed through the use of carbon fibre amperometry in combination with Fura-2. CICR was evoked by the glucagon-like-peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist exendin-4 (Ex-4) and was accompanied by quantal secretory events appearing as amperometric current spikes...
متن کاملInsulin secretion by ‘kiss-and-run’ exocytosis in clonal pancreatic islet β-cells
Exocytotic release of neuropeptides and hormones is generally believed to involve the complete merger of the secretory vesicle with the plasma membrane. However, recent data have suggested that ‘kissand-run’ mechanisms may also play a role. To analyse secretory events in neuroendocrine β-cells, we imaged chimaeric reporters targeted to either the vesicle membrane [chimaeras of synaptobrevin-2 a...
متن کاملVisualization of exocytosis in pancreatic acinar cells by fluorescence microscopy
The control of regulated exocytosis is still largely unknown in epithelial cells (12). While much progress has been made in understanding constitutive secretion we still know only in outline the mechanisms of secretory granule fusion (5). Progress requires methods of real-time imaging of granule exocytosis and in recent years a variety of optical methods have been applied towards understanding ...
متن کاملCharacterization of mice expressing Ins1 gene promoter driven CreERT recombinase for conditional gene deletion in pancreatic β-cells
Gene manipulation using Cre-loxP recombination has proven to be an important approach for studying the impact of gene expression on pancreatic β-cell biology. We report the generation of a transgenic mouse line that enables a highly specific system for conditional gene manipulation within β-cells and achieve tissue specific and temporally regulated deletion of the Ctnnb1 (β-catenin) gene in pan...
متن کاملRegulated Exocytosis of GABA-containing Synaptic-like Microvesicles in Pancreatic β-cells
We have explored whether gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is released by regulated exocytosis of GABA-containing synaptic-like microvesicles (SLMVs) in insulin-releasing rat pancreatic beta-cells. To this end, beta-cells were engineered to express GABA(A)-receptor Cl(-)-channels at high density using adenoviral infection. Electron microscopy indicated that the average diameter of the SLMVs is 90 ...
