| Abstract | The mitochondrial inhibitors NaN3 and carbonyl cyanide p-(trifluoromethoxy)phenylhydrazone (FCCP) were used to study the role of mitochondria in pancreatic B-cell Ca2+ homeostasis. In glucose-stimulated B-cells NaN3 and FCCP both increased the KATP current and thus hyperpolarized the cell membrane potential, as expected for agents depleting cellular ATP. NaN3 and FCCP stopped the glucose-induced oscillations in the cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]c) and elicited a biphasic response. After a first rapid and transient increase, [Ca2+]c rose in a second slow phase to a sustained level. In cells pretreated with thapsigargin the first inhibitor-induced rise in [Ca2+]c was absent, suggesting that it may be due to Ca2+ mobilization from intracellular stores. The glucose-induced oscillations were terminated again by NaN3 and FCCP, respectively, but the slow increase in [Ca2+]c of the second phase was still present. A minute increase in [Ca2+]c elicited by NaN3 or FCCP was even visible after the removal of extracellular Ca2+, suggesting that the inhibitors also mobilize Ca2+ from mitochondria. NaN3 and FCCP induced Ca2+ influx into B-cells treated with low glucose concentrations whose voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels are closed. Experiments with thapsigargin-preincubated cells indicate that disturbance of mitochondrial function stimulates Ca2+ influx through voltage-independent Ca2+ pathways. During the NaN3-induced increase in [Ca2+]c, K+-elicited depolarizations of the cells did not further augment [Ca2+]c. Evidently, this is due to a direct inhibitory effect of azide on L-type Ca2+ channels. The data demonstrate that disturbing the mitochondrial function affects cellular Ca2+ homeostasis in B-cells at several sites. Thus, it is concluded that intact mitochondrial function is a prerequisite for regular Ca2+ handling in B-cells. |

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.
