title: Interleukin-1 induces time-dependent potentiation in isolated rat islets: possible involvement of phosphoinositide hydrolysis.
abstract: Prior exposure of isolated perfused rat islets to the monokine interleukin-1 (IL-1) amplifies their subsequent insulin secretory response to 10 mM glucose. This potentiating effect of the monokine is dose dependent, lasts for at least 45 min after IL-1 removal from the medium, and is not confined to glucose; IL-1 also potentiates the insulin secretory responses to tolbutamide and glyceraldehyde. IL-1 exposure of islets incubated with myo-[2-3H]inositol to label their phosphoinositides (PI) results in an increase in [3H]inositol efflux, an event that persists long after removal of IL-1 from the medium. Direct measurements of labeled inositol phosphate accumulation substantiate the concept that this sustained [3H]inositol efflux response is the direct result of a sustained increase in PI hydrolysis. These results expand the list of compounds that induce time-dependent potentiation in islets to include IL-1. This action of the monokine, mediated at least in part by PI-derived second messenger molecules, may contribute to its postulated effects on insulin and glucose homeostasis.
