title: Effects of islet hormones on insulin secretion from cloned B cell lines, HIT-T15 and RINm5F.
abstract: The effects of the islet cell hormones glucagon, somatostatin-28 and pancreatic polypeptide on insulin secretion from cultured cloned pancreatic B cells (HIT-T15 and RINm5F) have been investigated. Glucagon stimulates the secretion of insulin from HIT-T15 cells in the absence and presence of glucose and from RINm5F cells in the absence and presence of glyceraldehyde. HIT-T15 cells were more sensitive to the stimulatory effect of glucagon than RINm5F cells. Somatostatin-28 and pancreatic polypeptide, both alone and in combination, reduced glucose- and glucagon-stimulated insulin release from HIT-T15 cells and glyceraldehyde- and glucagon-stimulated insulin release from RINm5F cells. HIT-T15 cells were more sensitive to the inhibitory actions of somatostatin-28 and pancreatic polypeptide than RINm5F cells. This study supports the hypothesis that insulin release from normal B cells may be modified by the paracrine activity of islet hormones, glucagon, somatostatin and pancreatic polypeptide and probably occurs before any fine tuning imposed by subsequently released insulin.
