Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP)-immunoreactive nerves have been demonstrated in close association with the islets of Langerhans, and VIP has been shown to stimulate insulin and somatostatin secretion. Using [125I]VIP and membranes prepared from rat insulinoma (RIN) cells, i.e., the subclones m5F (m5F; mainly insulin-secreting) and 14B (14B; mainly somatostatin-secreting), it was found that VIP (10(-10)-10(-7) M) competitively inhibited the binding of [125I]VIP. A single class of high affinity binding sites with Kd values of 0.40 +/- 0.06 nM and 0.36 +/- 0.08 nM for m5F and 14B, respectively, with a corresponding number of binding sites (Bmax) of 163 +/- 20 and 254 +/- 51 fmol/mg protein was observed. The rank order of potency in inhibiting [125I]VIP binding was in both cell lines: VIP greater than helodermin greater than pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide 1-27 (PACAP27) greater than peptide histidine isoleucine (PHI) greater than secretin. VIP caused a dose-dependent increase in cAMP-formation in both m5F and 14B cell membranes with EC50 values of 3.0 and 3.5 nM, respectively, but VIP (1.10(-9)-3.10(-6) M) had no effect on insulin secretion (over 2 h) from the m5F cells. Thus, the data suggest that the VIP-receptors in these neoplastic rat cell lines, despite an apparent coupling to adenylate cyclase activity, seem to be functionally uncoupled to an effect on insulin secretion following an acute exposure to VIP.

Oxyntomodulin (OXM), a glucagon-containing peptide extended at its C-terminal end by an octapeptide, is a potent inhibitor of gastric acid secretion in rat and man. OXM appears to act on gastric mucosa at least partially through a stimulation of gastric somatostatin release. We have investigated the effects of OXM on a somatostatin-secreting cell line (RIN T3) derived from a radiation-induced rat insulinoma and characterized specific binding sites for this peptide. OXM increased somatostatin release with an ED50 of 2.3 nM. OXM also stimulated the cAMP accumulation in intact RIN T3 cells and adenylate cyclase activity in RIN T3 cell membranes with ED50 values of 0.5 and 11 nM, respectively. On these parameters, glucagon was 10-30 times less potent than OXM. Forskolin, isobutylmethylxanthine, and 8-bromo-cAMP mimicked the effect of OXM on somatostatin release. Specific binding for mono-[125I]OXM was dependent upon time and membrane concentration. Binding of mono-[125I]OXM was inhibited by OXM and glucagon in a concentration-dependent manner, with dissociation constants (Kd) of 4.5 and 43 nM, respectively. The nonhydrolyzable analogs of GTP (guanosine 5',3-O-(thio)triphosphate and guanosine 5' (beta,gamma-imino)triphosphate decreased the binding of mono-[125I]OXM to its binding sites. Covalent cross-linking of mono-[125I]OXM or mono-[125I]glucagon to RIN T3 cell membranes followed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis demonstrated a single radiolabeled band at 63,000 mol wt, which differed from that observed after cross-linking with liver plasma membranes (55,000 mol wt). These results demonstrate the presence of specific high affinity binding sites for OXM in a somatostatin-secreting cell line (RIN T3) and their coupling to adenylate cyclase via guanine nucleotide-binding proteins.

Specific gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP) receptors were characterized in human benign insulinoma plasma membranes employing [mono-[125I]iodo-Tyr10]-GIP (125I-GIP) as the radioligand. GIP 1-42 inhibited 125I-GIP binding with an IC50 value of 10(-9) M. Scatchard analysis showed two classes of binding sites: a high-affinity site (Kd = 2.23 x 10(-10) M; Bmax = 24 fmol/mg protein) and a low-affinity site (Kd = 8.39 x 10(-9) M; Bmax = 118 fmol/mg protein). A synthetic replicate of human GIP 1-31 inhibited 125I-GIP binding with an IC50 value of 10(-8) M. The GIP binding sites of human insulinoma were coupled to adenylate cyclase stimulation. GIP 1-31 regulated the adenylate cyclase activity to the same extent as GIP 1-42. The concentrations of GIP required for maximal activity ranged from 10(-9) to 10(-8) M for either GIP 1-42 or GIP 1-31. The existence of functional GIP receptors in human insulinoma substantiates our recent reports demonstrating the presence of GIP binding sites in transplantable hamster insulinoma and indicates that GIP could exert a direct control of the beta-cell function in humans through a purely endocrine pathway.

Previous studies with heterogeneous populations of pancreatic cells have provided evidence for the presence of somatostatin (SRIF) receptors in cytosol and secretion vesicles, as well as the plasma membrane. To examine the distribution of SRIF receptors between soluble and membrane fractions in a homogeneous pancreatic islet cell population, we have used the clonal RINm5F insulinoma cell line. These cells contain specific, high affinity binding sites for [125I-Try11]SRIF on the cell surface, and occupancy of these sites by SRIF and SRIF analogs correlates with inhibition of insulin secretion. Stable, steady state binding was achieved using both intact cells and membranes by performing binding incubations with [25I-Tyr11]SRIF at 22 C. Half-maximal inhibition of [125I-Tyr11]SRIF binding occurred with 0.21 +/- 0.11 nM SRIF in membranes and 0.35 +/- 0.30 nM SRIF in cells. In contrast, the binding of [125I-Tyr11]SRIF to cytosolic macromolecules was not reduced by concentrations of SRIF as high as 100 nM, demonstrating that this binding was of much lower affinity. RINm5F membranes were further purified using a Percoll gradient to prepare a microsomal fraction, which was enriched in adenylate cyclase activity, and a secretory granule fraction, which was enriched in insulin. [125I-Tyr11]SRIF binding to the microsomal fraction (3.8 +/- 0.3 fmol/mg) was 3 times higher than to secretion granules (1.2 +/- 0.2 fmol/mg). Thus, high affinity SRIF binding sites were most abundant in microsomal membranes and were low or undetectable in secretory granules and cytosol. To determine whether translocation of SRIF receptors to the plasma membrane accompanied insulin secretion, we examined the effects of various insulin secretagogues on [125I-Tyr11]SRIF binding to intact cells. Leucine (20 mM), glyceraldehyde (15 mM), forskolin (1 microM), and glucagon (1 microM) stimulated insulin release 1.5- to 4.0-fold in different experiments. However, these secretagogues did not increase [125I-Tyr11]SRIF binding. In summary, our results indicate that high affinity SRIF receptors in RINm5F cells are located primarily on the plasma membrane and that the concentration of SRIF receptors at the cell surface is independent of the secretory activity of the cells.

Rat insulinoma cells, which grow in culture and secrete insulin, were used to study the mechanism of stimulation of insulin release by glucagon. The parent cell line (RIN-m) and a clone that secretes high levels of insulin (5F) had been shown to possess specific receptors for glucagon. Glucagon (1 microM) stimulated a rapid increase in cyclic adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate (cAMP) that was followed by an increase in insulin secretion in both cell lines. The concentration of glucagon necessary for half-maximal stimulation of cAMP was 50 nM in parent and approximately 0.5 microM in 5F, whereas the concentration required to inhibit binding by 50% was 0.5 nM and 30 nM, respectively. In 5F, the dose-response relationships for cAMP and insulin secretion were superimposable. The glucagon effects on insulin secretion and cAMP did not require either glucose or amino acids in the incubation media. No refractoriness to glucagon stimulation of cAMP or insulin was noted. It may be concluded that there are significant differences between glucagon binding and glucagon responses in parent cells and clone 5F, there are glucagon receptors that are not coupled to adenylate cyclase, and cAMP mediates glucagon-stimulated insulin release.

Adenylate cyclase activity was assayed in a crude particulate fraction of one benign and one malignant human insulinoma. Adenylate cyclase of both tumours responded to 5'-guanylyl-imidodiphosphate, sodium fluoride, glucagon and prostaglandin E2, and in addition the adenylate cyclase of the benign tumour responded to isoprenaline. Glucose and prostaglandin I2 (prostacyclin) did not stimulate the adenylate cyclase in either tumour, although prostaglandin I2 stimulated insulin secretion in cultures of the benign tumour. The in vitro responsiveness of the adenylate cyclase to glucagon did not correlate closely with the effect of glucagon on insulin secretion in vivo.

GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide 1 (7-36) amide) plays an important role in the regulation of insulin secretion and proinsulin gene expression of pancreatic beta-cells. Patients with insulinoma tumors show uncontrolled insulin hypersecretion. This study demonstrates the molecular cloning of a cDNA for the GLP-1 receptor from a human insulinoma employing a lambda-gt11 cDNA library. The cloned cDNA encoded a seven transmembrane domain protein of 463 amino acids which showed high homology to the GLP-1 receptor in normal human pancreas. Four amino acid exchanges were found in comparison to a receptor sequence obtained from regular pancreatic islets. When transfected transiently into COS-7 or stably into fibroblast CHL cells a high affinity receptor was expressed which coupled to the adenylate cyclase with normal basal cAMP and increasing intracellular cAMP levels under GLP-1 stimulation. The receptor accepted GLP-1 and the non-mammalian agonist exendin-4 as high affinity ligands. In transfected COS-7 cells, GLP-1 did not influence intracellular calcium, whereas in the stably transfected fibroblasts GLP-1 transiently increased intracellular calcium to a small extent. The understanding of GLP-1 receptor regulation and signal transduction will aid in the discovery of compounds that act as agonists of the GLP-1 receptor for potential use in the treatment of diabetes and will facilitate the understanding of its expression under normal and pathophysiological conditions.

Galanin inhibits adenylate cyclase activity and insulin secretion and modulates ion channels in pancreatic beta-cells through pertussis-toxin-sensitive G-protein(s). Antibodies directed against the C-terminal region of specific G-protein alpha-subunits were used to determine which G-protein(s) couple galanin receptors to inhibition of adenylate cyclase in the rat insulinoma cell line RINm5F. Preincubation of membranes with EC antibody (anti-alpha i3) decreased the inhibition of forskolin-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity by galanin (100 nM) by 45% compared with control IgG (P < 0.05) whereas preincubation with AS (anti-alpha i1, alpha i2) or GO (anti-alpha o) antibodies had no significant effect. To confirm these results, RINm5F cells were exposed intermittently over a 4-day period to phosphorothioate oligodeoxynucleotides that were either sense or antisense to alpha i1, alpha i2, alpha i3 or alpha o. Oligodeoxynucleotides antisense to alpha i2, alpha i3 and alpha o specifically decreased the levels of the targeted alpha-subunit in membranes. alpha i1 was undetectable in these cells. Inhibition of adenylate cyclase activity by galanin was largely abolished in membranes from cells exposed to the oligodeoxynucleotide antisense to alpha i3, whereas all other oligodeoxynucleotides had no significant effect on this pathway. Indirect immunofluorescence and immunoblotting of specific membrane fractions with EC antibody show significant localization of alpha i3 to intracellular membrane compartments. These results suggest that Gi3 is the G protein that couples galanin receptors to inhibition of adenylate cyclase activity in RINm5F cells.

Diazepam binding inhibitor (DBI1-86) is a peptide that is present in large amounts in the intestine and pancreas and which inhibits glucose-stimulated insulin release from both perfused pancreas and isolated islets in low nanomolar concentrations. Here, DBI33-50 (also known as ODN, octadecaneuropeptide), one of the naturally occurring processing products of DBI1-86, and certain synthetic modified derivatives, have been shown to inhibit glucose and glibenclamide-stimulated insulin secretion from isolated rat islets and glibenclamide-stimulated insulin secretion from hamster-insulinoma (HIT-T15) beta-cell line. DBI17-50 (TTN; triakontatetraneuropeptide), another prominent processing product of DBI, had no effect. The 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) for the effect of ODN on insulin secretion induced by 8.3 of 16.7 mM glucose was approximately the same: 5 to 6 nM. Moreover, ODN inhibited insulin release induced by 0.01 or 1 microM glibenclamide with a similar IC50 (8 to 10 nM) in both isolated pancreatic islets and in HIT-T15 beta-cells. At concentration up to 1 microM, ODN had no effect on insulin secretion induced by PACAP (pituitary adenylate cyclase polypeptide), BAYK 8644 (methyl-(1,4-dihydro-2,6-dimethyl-3-nitro-4,2-trifluoromethylphenyl) pyridine-5-carboxylate), and only marginally it affected IBMX-(isobutylmethylxanthine) induced insulin secretion. This indicates that ODN does not act directly on ATP-regulated K+ channels, voltage dependent Ca2+ channels or cAMP production. In contrast, ODN inhibited insulin secretion induced by sodium nitroprussiate in a manner that is independent from the presence of extracellular Ca2+. These results suggest that ODN or ODN-like peptide fragments of DBI, may inhibit glucose or glibenclamide-induced insulin secretion via a signaling pathway that regulate the cytoplasmic free Ca2+ concentration.

Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) plays an important role in the regulation of postprandial insulin secretion and proinsulin gene expression of pancreatic beta-cells. This study demonstrates the molecular cloning of a cDNA for the GIP-receptor from a human insulinoma lambda gt11 cDNA library. The cloned cDNA encoded a seven transmembrane domain protein of 466 amino acids which showed high homology (41%) to the human glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor. Homology to the GIP receptor from rat or hamster was 79% and 81%, respectively. When transfected stably into fibroblast CHL-cells a high affinity receptor was expressed which coupled to the adenylate cyclase with normal basal cAMP and increasing intracellular cAMP levels under stimulation with human GIP-1-42 (EC50 = 1.29 x 10(-13) M). The receptor accepted only human GIP 1-42 (Kd = 1.93 +/- 0.2 x 10(-8) M) and porcine truncated GIP 1-30 (Kd = 1.13 +/- 0.1 x 10(-8) M) as high affinity ligands. At 1 microM, exendin-4 and (9-39)amide weakly reduced GIP-binding (25%) whereas secretin, glucagon, glucagon-like peptide-1, vasoactive intestinal polypeptide, peptide histidine-isoleucine, and pituitary adenylyl cyclase activating peptide were without effect. In transfected CHL cells, GIP-1-42 did not increase intracellular calcium. Northern analysis revealed one transcript of human GIP receptor mRNA with an apparent size of 5.5 kb. The exact understanding of GIP receptor regulation and signal transduction will aid in the understanding of the incretin hormone's failure to exert its biological action at the pancreatic B-cell in type II diabetes mellitus.
