    Abstract It is accepted that insulin-secreting β-cells release insulin in response to glucose even in the absence of functional ATP-sensitive K+ (KATP)-channels, which play a central role in a 'consensus model' of secretion broadly accepted and widely reproduced in textbooks. A major shortcoming of this consensus model is that it ignores any and all anionic mechanisms, known for more than 40 years, to modulate β-cell electrical activity and therefore insulin secretion. It is now clear that, in addition to metabolically regulated KATP-channels, β-cells are equipped with volume-regulated anion (Cl-) channels (VRAC) responsive to glucose concentrations in the range known to promote electrical activity and insulin secretion. In this context, the electrogenic efflux of Cl- through VRAC and other Cl- channels known to be expressed in β-cells results in depolarization because of an outwardly directed Cl- gradient established, maintained and regulated by the balance between Cl- transporters and channels. This review will provide a succinct historical perspective on the development of a complex hypothesis: Cl- transporters and channels modulate insulin secretion in response to nutrients.

    Abstract An explosion of work over the last decade has produced insight into the multiple hereditary causes of a nonimmunological form of diabetes diagnosed most frequently within the first 6 months of life. These studies are providing increased understanding of genes involved in the entire chain of steps that control glucose homeostasis. Neonatal diabetes is now understood to arise from mutations in genes that play critical roles in the development of the pancreas, of beta-cell apoptosis and insulin processing, as well as the regulation of insulin release. For the basic researcher, this work is providing novel tools to explore fundamental molecular and cellular processes. For the clinician, these studies underscore the need to identify the genetic cause underlying each case. It is increasingly clear that the prognosis, therapeutic approach, and genetic counseling a physician provides must be tailored to a specific gene in order to provide the best medical care.

    Abstract Mammalian beta-cells are acutely and chronically regulated by sensing surrounding glucose levels that determine the rate at which insulin is secreted, to maintain euglycemia. Experimental research in vitro and in vivo has shown that, when these cells are exposed to adverse conditions like long periods of hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia, their capability to sense glucose is decreased. Understanding the normal physiology and identifying the main players along this route becomes paramount. In this review, we have taken on the task of looking at the role that ion channels play in the regulation of this process, delineating the different families, and describing the signaling that parallels the glucose sensing process that results in insulin release.

    Abstract Cystic fibrosis (CF) is due to mutations in the CF-transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) and CF-related diabetes (CFRD) is its most common co-morbidity, affecting ~50% of all CF patients, significantly influencing pulmonary function and longevity. Yet, the complex pathogenesis of CFRD remains unclear. Two non-mutually exclusive underlying mechanisms have been proposed in CFRD: i) damage of the endocrine cells secondary to the severe exocrine pancreatic pathology and ii) intrinsic β-cell impairment of the secretory response in combination with other factors. The later has proven difficult to determine due to low expression of CFTR in β-cells, which results in the general perception that this Cl-channel does not participate in the modulation of insulin secretion or the development of CFRD. The objective of the present work is to demonstrate CFTR expression at the molecular and functional levels in insulin-secreting β-cells in normal human islets, where it seems to play a role. Towards this end, we have used immunofluorescence confocal and immunofluorescence microscopy, immunohistochemistry, RT-qPCR, Western blotting, pharmacology, electrophysiology and insulin secretory studies in normal human, rat and mouse islets. Our results demonstrate heterogeneous CFTR expression in human, mouse and rat β-cells and provide evidence that pharmacological inhibition of CFTR influences basal and stimulated insulin secretion in normal mouse islets but not in islets lacking this channel, despite being detected by electrophysiological means in ~30% of β-cells. Therefore, our results demonstrate a potential role for CFTR in the pancreatic β-cell secretory response suggesting that intrinsic β-cell dysfunction may also participate in the pathogenesis of CFRD.

    Abstract Cystic fibrosis (CF)-related diabetes (CFRD) is thought to result from beta-cell injury due in part to pancreas exocrine damage and lipofibrosis. CFRD pancreata exhibit reduced islet density and altered cellular composition. To investigate a possible etiology, we tested the hypothesis that such changes are present in CF pancreata before the development of lipofibrosis. We evaluated pancreas and islet morphology in tissues from very young CF children (<4 years of age), and adult patients with CF and CFRD. The relative number of beta-cells in young CF tissues was reduced by 50% or more when compared to age-matched controls. Furthermore, young CF tissues displayed significantly smaller insulin-positive areas, lower proportion of beta-cells positive for the proliferation marker Ki67 or the ductal marker CK19 vs. control subjects, and islet inflammatory cell infiltrates, independently of the severity of the exocrine lesion and in the absence of amyloid deposits. CFRD pancreata exhibited greater islet injury with further reduction in islet density, decreased relative beta-cell number, and presence of amyloid deposits. Together, these results strongly suggest that an early deficiency in beta-cell number in infants with CF may contribute to the development of glucose intolerance in the CF pediatric population, and to CFRD, later in life.

    Abstract Glucose-stimulated insulin and glucagon release regulates glucose homeostasis by an excitation-secretion coupling pathway beginning with ATP-sensitive K(+) channel closure, membrane depolarization, and entry of calcium ions to stimulate exocytosis. The contribution of voltage-gated sodium channels to this release pathway is still being elucidated. We demonstrate that loss of Scn1b, a major regulatory subunit expressed with Na(v)1.7 protein in mouse pancreatic islets, reduces glucose-stimulated insulin and glucagon secretion in vitro and in vivo, resulting in severe fed and fasting hypoglycemia. This genetic mouse model is the first to demonstrate that sodium channelopathy impairs the physiological excitation-release coupling pathway for pancreatic insulin and glucagon release.

    Abstract ATP-sensitive K(+), or K(ATP), channels are comprised of K(IR)6.x and sulfonylurea receptor (SUR) subunits that assemble as octamers, (K(IR)/SUR)(4). The assembly pathway is unknown. Pulse-labeling studies show that when K(IR)6.2 is expressed individually, its turnover is biphasic; approximately 60% is lost with t((1/2)) approximately 36 min. The remainder converts to a long-lived species (t((1/2)) approximately 26 h) with an estimated half-time of 1.2 h. Expressed alone, SUR1 has a long half-life, approximately 25.5 h. When K(IR)6.2 and SUR1 are co-expressed, they associate rapidly and the fast degradation of K(IR)6.2 is eliminated. Based on changes in the glycosylation state of SUR1, the half-time for the maturation of K(ATP) channels, including completion of assembly, transit to the Golgi, and glycosylation, is approximately 2.2 h. Estimation of the turnover rates of mature, fully glycosylated SUR1 associated with K(IR)6.2 and of K(IR)6.2 associated with Myc-tagged SUR1 gave similar values for the half-life of K(ATP) channels, a mean value of approximately 7.3 h. K(ATP) channel subunits in INS-1 beta-cells displayed qualitatively similar kinetics. The results imply the octameric channels are stable. Two mutations, K(IR)6.2 W91R and SUR1 DeltaF1388, identified in patients with the severe form of familial hyperinsulinism, profoundly alter the rate of K(IR)6.2 and SUR1 turnover, respectively. Both mutant subunits associate with their respective partners but dissociate freely and degrade rapidly. The data support models of channel formation in which K(IR)6.2-SUR1 heteromers assemble functional channels and are inconsistent with models where SUR1 can only assemble with K(IR)6.2 tetramers.
