title: Prostaglandin E(2) mediates inhibition of insulin secretion by interleukin-1beta.
abstract: Interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) and prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)), frequently co-participants in inflammatory states, are two well recognized inhibitors of glucose-induced insulin secretion. Previous reports have concluded that the inhibitory effects of these two autacoids on pancreatic beta cell function are not related because indomethacin, a potent prostaglandin synthesis inhibitor, does not prevent IL-1beta effects. However, indomethacin is not a specific cyclooxygenase inhibitor, and its other pharmacologic effects are likely to inhibit insulin secretion independently. Since we recently observed that IL-1beta induces cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) gene expression and PGE(2) synthesis in islet beta cells, we have reassessed the possibility that PGE(2) mediates IL-1beta effects on beta function. By using two cell lines (HIT-T15 and betaHC13) as well as Wistar rat isolated pancreatic islets, we examined the ability of two COX-2-specific antagonists, NS-398 and SC-236, to prevent IL-1beta inhibition of insulin secretion. Both drugs prevented IL-1beta from inducing PGE(2) synthesis and inhibiting insulin secretion; adding back exogenous PGE(2) re-established inhibition of insulin secretion in the presence of IL-1beta. We also found that EP3, the PGE(2) receptor subtype whose post-receptor effect is to decrease adenylyl cyclase activity and, thereby, insulin secretion, is the dominant mRNA subtype expressed. We conclude that endogenous PGE(2) mediates the inhibitory effects of exogenous IL-1beta on beta cell function.
