Expression of purinergic P2Y receptor subtypes by INS-1 insulinoma beta-cells: a molecular and binding characterization.
    European journal of pharmacology, 2007, Jul-30, Volume: 568, Issue:1-3

    Purinergic P2Y-receptor agonists amplify glucose-induced insulin secretion from pancreatic beta-cells, thus offering new opportunities for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. However, little is known about which subtypes of purinergic P2Y receptors are expressed in these cells. The INS-1 beta-cell line is used as a model of pancreatic beta-cells, expressing most of their properties. Therefore, we investigated the expression of different molecular subtypes in this cell line by means of real time Polymerase Chain Reaction and Western blot. We also performed a characterization of the binding of a prototypic purinergic P2Y agonist, Adenosine-5'-O-(1-[(35)S]thiotriphosphate) (ATP-alpha-[(35)S]), to cell membrane homogenates. The molecular analysis evidenced the presence of five different purinergic P2Y receptor subtypes (P2Y(1), P2Y(2), P2Y(4), P2Y(6) and P2Y(12)), which were expressed at similar levels. The Western blot analysis allowed detecting corresponding proteins. The binding assay demonstrated a specific ATP-alpha-[(35)S] interaction on high (40%) and low (60%) affinity components. The analysis of ATP-alpha-[(35)S] pharmacological profile on both sites permitted to classify the high affinity binding site as representative of the purinergic P2Y(1) receptor subtype and the low affinity binding site of the P2Y(4) and/or P2Y(6) receptor subtypes. ATP-alpha-S and Adenosine-5'-O-(2-thiodiphosphate) (ADP-beta-S) exhibited opposite selectivity on high and low affinity binding sites. Although purinergic P2Y(1) receptor, or a P2Y(1)-like subtype, has been generally considered as that implicated in the modulation of glucose-induced insulin release, the present data show that the beta-cell expresses a complex profile of purinergic P2Y receptor subtypes, the functional implication of which remains to be fully elucidated.

Effect of purinergic agonists and antagonists on insulin secretion from INS-1 cells (insulinoma cell line) and rat pancreatic islets.
    Canadian journal of physiology and pharmacology, 2002, Volume: 80, Issue:6

    The effects of purinergic agonists on insulin release are controversial in the literature. In our studies (mainly using INS-1 cells, but also using rat pancreatic islets), ATP had a dual effect on insulin release depending on the ATP concentration: increasing insulin release (EC50 approximately/= 0.0032 microM) and inhibiting insulin release (EC50 approximately/= 0.32 microM) at both 5.6 and 8.3 mM glucose. This is compatible with the view that either two different receptors are involved, or the cells desensitize and (or) the effect of an inhibitory degradation product such as adenosine (ectonucleotidase effect) emerges. The same dual effects of ATP on insulin release were obtained using rat pancreatic islets instead of INS-1 cells. ADPbetaS, which is less degradable than ATP and rather specific for P2Y1 receptors, had a dual effect on insulin release at 8.3 mM glucose: stimulatory (EC50 approximately/= 0.02 microM) and inhibitory (EC50 approximately/= 0.32 microM). The effectiveness of this compound indicates the possible involvement of a P2Y1 receptor. 2-Methylthio-ATP exhibited an insulinotropic effect at very high concentrations (EC50 approximately/= 15 microM at 8.3 mM glucose). This indicated that distinct P2X or the P2Y1 receptor may be involved in these insulin-secreting cells. UTP increased insulin release (EC50 approximately/= 2 microM) very weakly, indicating that a P2U receptor (P2X3 or possibly a P2Y2 or P2Y4) are not likely to be involved. Suramin (50 microM) antagonized the insulinotropic effect of ATP (0.01 microM) and UTP (0.32 microM). Since suramin is not selective, the data indicated that various P2X and P2Y receptors may be involved. PPADS (100 microM), a P2X and P2Y1,4,6 receptor antagonist, was ineffective using either low or high concentrations of ATP and ADPbetaS, which combined with the suramin data hints at a P2Y receptor effect of the compounds. Adenosine inhibited insulin release in a concentration-dependent manner. DPCPX (100 microM), an adenosine (A1) receptor antagonist, inhibited the inhibitory effects of both adenosine and of high concentrations of ATP. Adenosine deaminase (1 U/mL) abolished the inhibitory effect of high ATP concentrations, indicating the involvement of the degradation product adenosine. Repetitive addition of ATP did not desensitize the stimulatory effect of ATP. U-73122 (2 microM), a PLC inhibitor, abolished the ATP effect at low concentrations. The data indicate that ATP at low concentrations is effect
