This study was undertaken to determine whether intraislet somatostatin inhibits insulin secretion in the human islet. A high-affinity monoclonal somatostatin antibody was used to immunoneutralize somatostatin in the isolated, perfused human pancreas. Single pass perfusion was performed in pancreata obtained from cadaveric organ donors using a modified Krebs medium with either 3.9 or 12.9 mM glucose. Sequential test periods separated by basal periods were performed with either somatostatin-14 (SS-14), somatostatin monoclonal antibody (CURE.S6), or a combined infusion. Infusion of SS-14 resulted in inhibition of insulin secretion under both low glucose (delta X = -712 +/- 212 pM) (p < 0.05) and high glucose (delta X = -21,913 +/- 10,003 pM) (p = 0.06) conditions. Immunoneutralization of intraislet somatostatin with CURE.S6 resulted in a significant increase in insulin secretion under both low glucose (454 +/- 162 pM) (p < 0.05) and high glucose (2,177 +/- 829 pM) (p < 0.05) conditions. Combined infusion of SS-14 and CURE.S6 resulted in a reversal of the inhibitory effect of exogenous SS-14. The data suggest that intraislet somatostatin has an inhibitory role in the regulation of insulin secretion in the human islet.

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.
