title: Tolbutamide and diazoxide modulate phospholipase C-linked Ca(2+) signaling and insulin secretion in beta-cells.
abstract: Arginine vasopressin (AVP), bombesin, and ACh increase cytosolic free Ca(2+) and potentiate glucose-induced insulin release by activating receptors linked to phospholipase C (PLC). We examined whether tolbutamide and diazoxide, which close or open ATP-sensitive K(+) channels (K(ATP) channels), respectively, interact with PLC-linked Ca(2+) signals in HIT-T15 and mouse beta-cells and with PLC-linked insulin secretion from HIT-T15 cells. In the presence of glucose, the PLC-linked Ca(2+) signals were enhanced by tolbutamide (3-300 microM) and inhibited by diazoxide (10-100 microM). The effects of tolbutamide and diazoxide on PLC-linked Ca(2+) signaling were mimicked by BAY K 8644 and nifedipine, an activator and inhibitor of L-type voltage-sensitive Ca(2+) channels, respectively. Neither tolbutamide nor diazoxide affected PLC-linked mobilization of internal Ca(2+) or store-operated Ca(2+) influx through non-L-type Ca(2+) channels. In the absence of glucose, PLC-linked Ca(2+) signals were diminished or abolished; this effect could be partly antagonized by tolbutamide. In the presence of glucose, tolbutamide potentiated and diazoxide inhibited AVP- or bombesin-induced insulin secretion from HIT-T15 cells. Nifedipine (10 microM) blocked both the potentiating and inhibitory actions of tolbutamide and diazoxide on AVP-induced insulin release, respectively. In glucose-free medium, AVP-induced insulin release was reduced but was again potentiated by tolbutamide, whereas diazoxide caused no further inhibition. Thus tolbutamide and diazoxide regulate both PLC-linked Ca(2+) signaling and insulin secretion from pancreatic beta-cells by modulating K(ATP) channels, thereby determining voltage-sensitive Ca(2+) influx.
