In perifused tumoral islet cells (RINm5F line), which were prelabelled with either [32P]orthophosphate, 86Rb+ or 45Ca2+, the administration of D-glucose (1.4, 2.8 or 16.7 mM) increased the efflux of 32P, decreased the outflow of 86Rb, increased slightly the efflux of 45Ca from cells perifused in the presence of Ca2+, and decreased modestly the outflow of 45Ca from cells perifused in the absence of Ca2+. D-glucose also stimulated the net uptake of 45Ca2+. When Ba2+ (2 mM) was used, in the absence of Ca2+, instead of D-glucose as an insulin secretagogue, the efflux of 32P was little affected, but the outflow of 45Ca was dramatically increased. These changes are qualitatively similar to those occurring in normal islet cells. Nevertheless, the ionic response to D-glucose appeared, as a rule, less marked in tumoral than normal islet cells. Moreover, the concentration-response relationship was shifted to a lower range of hexose concentrations in the RINm5F cells.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).

D007515 Islets of Langerhans Irregular microscopic structures consisting of cords of endocrine cells that are scattered throughout the PANCREAS among the exocrine acini. Each islet is surrounded by connective tissue fibers and penetrated by a network of capillaries. There are four major cell types. The most abundant beta cells (50-80%) secrete INSULIN. Alpha cells (5-20%) secrete GLUCAGON. PP cells (10-35%) secrete PANCREATIC POLYPEPTIDE. Delta cells (~5%) secrete SOMATOSTATIN.

D010190 Pancreatic Neoplasms Tumors or cancer of the PANCREAS. Depending on the types of ISLET CELLS present in the tumors, various hormones can be secreted: GLUCAGON from PANCREATIC ALPHA CELLS; INSULIN from PANCREATIC BETA CELLS; and SOMATOSTATIN from the SOMATOSTATIN-SECRETING CELLS. Most are malignant except the insulin-producing tumors (INSULINOMA).

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
