| Abstract | Using the whole-cell voltage-clamp method to measure ATP-sensitive K+(KATP) currents, changes in cell capacitance to measure secretion and microfluorimetry to monitor intracellular Ca2+ and mitochondrial function, we have investigated the direct effect of sulphonylureas on exocytosis in pancreatic β-cells. Tolbutamide (100 µM) and 100 nM 4-β-12-phorbolmyristate-13-acetate (PMA), which activates the protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms found in β-cells, potentiated exocytosis in a non-additive manner. These effects were blocked by down-regulation of PKC. Our data support the idea that tolbutamide can potentiate secretion from β-cells via a PKC-dependent pathway. Because PKC and sulphonylureas can modulate the activity of KATP channels, we explored whether the above effects are caused by inhibition of this channel. PMA increased whole-cell KATP currents but did not affect their sensitivity to tolbutamide. Down-regulation of PKC affected neither the magnitude nor the tolbutamide sensitivity of the KATP current. Both tolbutamide and the mitochondrial uncoupler FCCP (1 µM) mobilized intracellular Ca2+ and prolonged Ca2+ transients elicited by cholinergic mobilization of intracellular Ca2+ stores. Tolbutamide (0.1–0.5 mM), like FCCP, depolarized the mitochondrial membrane potential and activated KATP currents. We suggest that sulphonylureas can directly potentiate exocytosis by impairing mitochondrial function and Ca2+ handling, which ultimately leads to activation of Ca2+-dependent enzymes such as PKC. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
