title: Maintenance of pancreatic endocrine cells of the neonatal rat: VII. The effect of 3-amino-3-deoxyglucose on insulin secretion from perifused B cells.
abstract: Monolayer cultures of the pancreas of the neonatal rat were maintained in TCM 199 medium, supplemented with 5.5 mM glucose, with or without 5 mM 3-amino-3-deoxyglucose, and perifused to examine the changes which occurred in the insulin secretory response during culture. On day 0, B cells showed a monophasic insulin secretion in response to 16.7 mM glucose, whereas in the presence of 200 nM 12-o-tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate, 40 microM lysophosphatidylcholine, 10 microM forskolin or 1 mM 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine, the same dose of glucose stimulated insulin secretion in a biphasic fashion. Under culture conditions without 3-amino-3-deoxyglucose, the response to glucose totally disappeared after 7 days, and that to 10 mM of either leucine or 2-ketoisocaproate was as low as that of day 0. In contrast, B cells that had been cultured for 7 days in medium with 3-amino-3-deoxyglucose showed an adult-like biphasic pattern in response to glucose. When stimulated by glucose at a linear gradient concentration running from 0 to 20 mM, the B cells responded to increasing concentrations of glucose in a dose-dependent fashion. Further, the response of cAMP to glucose was increased by adding forskolin or 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine, which also enhanced the secretion of insulin under either a step-wise or slow-rise stimulation with glucose. The effect of 12-o-tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate was also outstanding. Likewise, the addition of either leucine or 2-keptoisocaproate induced a striking increase in the secondary phase secretion as well as promoting the rates of glutamine oxidation within the cells. In conclusion, it is suggested that the high response to a wider variety of stimuli may represent the reaction of neonatal B cells to the cultural milieu rather than a process of physiological development, and these effects exhibited by 3-amino-3-deoxyglucose would be related to a change in the constituents of glycoproteins in the cells.
