Abstract EN
Pancreatic β-cells express several ion channels of the transient receptor potential family, which play important roles in mediating the stimulus-secretion coupling.
One of these channels, the TRPM4 is a Ca2+-activated monovalent cation channel.
This channel is inhibited by 9-phenanthrol, which also inhibits the TMEM16a Cl− channel, and activates the Ca2+-activated K+ channel, Kca3.1.
The net effects of ion-channel modulation by 9-phenantherol on the insulin secretion remain unclear.
We tested the effects of 9-phenanthrol on glucose- and GLP-1-induced insulin secretion from isolated rat islets in static incubations.
When applied to the islets in the presence of 3.3 mM glucose, 9-phenanthrol caused a small increase in insulin secretion (~7% of the insulin secretion stimulated by 10 mM glucose).
10 μM 9-phenanthrol did not inhibit glucose- or GLP-1-induced insulin secretion.
20 μM and 30 μM 9-phenanthrol inhibited glucose-induced insulin secretion by ~80% and ~85%, respectively.
Inhibition of the GLP-1-induced insulin secretion by 20 μM and 30 μM 9-phenanthrol was 65% and 94%, respectively.
Our study shows that the major effect of 9-phenanthrol on the islets is a strong inhibition of insulin secretion, and we speculate that compounds related to 9-phenanthrol may be potentially useful in treating the pancreatogenous hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia syndromes.
