Multiple Exocytotic Pathways in Pancreatic β Cells
Ca2+-dependent exocytotic pathways in mouse pancreatic beta cells were investigated using both capacitance measurement and amperometric detection of vesicular contents. Serotonin was preloaded into large dense-core vesicles for the amperometry. Exocytosis was induced by rapid elevation of cytosolic Ca2+ concentrations using caged-Ca2+ compounds. Capacitance measurement revealed two major compon...
متن کاملSignal integration at the level of ion channel and exocytotic function in pancreatic β-cells.
Whole body energy balance is ensured by the exquisite control of insulin secretion, the dysregulation of which has serious consequences. Although a great deal has been learned about the control of insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells in the past 30 years, there remains much to be understood about the molecular mechanisms and interactions that underlie the precise control of this process. N...
متن کاملGlucolipotoxicity in Pancreatic β-Cells
The recent epidemic of type 2 diabetes in Asia differs from that reported in other regions of the world in several key areas: it has evolved over a much shorter time, in an earlier stage of life, and in people with lower body mass indices. These phenotypic characteristics of patients strongly suggest that insulin secretory defects may perform a more important function in the development and pro...
متن کاملRole of MicroRNA in Pancreatic β-Cells
One of most intriguing discoveries in biology in recent years is unquestionably the identification of the family of small, noncoding RNAs known as microRNAs (miRNAs). Originally described in worms (1), miRNAs are now known to be virtually ubiquitous among vertebrates, including humans. Over 400 genes encoding miRNAs are dispersed throughout the human genome, many of them unexpectedly located wi...
متن کاملIntranuclear Rods in Pancreatic Islet Β-cells
In the course of ultrastructural studies on the morphology of the pancreatic islets of various rodent species used in current diabetes research, intranuclear rod-shaped structures were observed in the $-cells of mice . Since there appeared to be no previous reports on the occurrence of such structures in endocrine pancreas of any species, it was thought worth while to pay some further attention...
