This study examined the effect of glucose and 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) on insulin secretion in isolated human insulinoma cells. In addition, we analyzed conventional PKC alpha and beta activation in the membrane fractions, respectively. Treatment with 5 mM and 20 mM glucose for 5 min and 20 min resulted in 6-7-fold increases in insulin secretion, and treatment with 1 microM TPA for 5 min also resulted in 3-fold increases in insulin secretion from the basal level. Immunoblot analysis of membrane fractions showed increases in PKC alpha and beta immunoreactivities after treatment with 5 mM, 20 mM glucose and 1 microM TPA. Translocations of PKC alpha after treatment with glucose and TPA were greater than those of PKC beta in membrane fractions. These results suggest that TPA independently provokes insulin secretion via PKC activation and that PKC alpha and beta activation may be involved in insulin secretion in human insulinoma 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).

D011493 Protein Kinase C An serine-threonine protein kinase that requires the presence of physiological concentrations of CALCIUM and membrane PHOSPHOLIPIDS. The additional presence of DIACYLGLYCEROLS markedly increases its sensitivity to both calcium and phospholipids. The sensitivity of the enzyme can also be increased by PHORBOL ESTERS and it is believed that protein kinase C is the receptor protein of tumor-promoting phorbol esters.
