Islet cyclic AMP levels are not lowered during alpha 2-adrenergic inhibition of insulin release

S Ullrich and CB Wollheim

Epinephrine-induced changes in insulin release and cyclic AMP levels were measured simultaneously in isolated rat islets. Forskolin was used to enhance islet cyclic AMP levels. Forskolin (30 microM) stimulated adenylate cyclase activity 10-fold in islet homogenates and raised cyclic AMP levels 5-fold in intact islets (both at low and high glucose). Insulin release was enhanced by forskolin only at high glucose. Epinephrine (0.1 microM) inhibited glucose- and forskolin- induced insulin release to basal rates. At the same time epinephrine potentiated forskolin-elevated cyclic AMP levels. In contrast epinephrine attenuated forskolin-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity in islet homogenates. At low glucose, both alpha 2- and beta-adrenergic blockade counteracted the epinephrine potentiation, each by 50%. At high glucose the effect was mainly beta-adrenergic in nature. The actions of epinephrine in the presence of a beta-blocker were mimicked by the alpha 2-agonist clonidine. Despite the variations in cyclic AMP levels stimulated insulin release was always inhibited by activation of alpha 2-receptors. Finally, insulin release stimulated by exogenous cyclic AMP was abolished by epinephrine. These results suggest that epinephrine inhibits insulin release at a step distal to the generation of cyclic AMP.
