Metabolic Fate of Glucose in Purified Islet Cells
GLUCOSE-REGULATED ANAPLEROSIS IN beta  CELLS

Previous studies in rat islets have suggested that anaplerosis plays an important role in the regulation of pancreatic beta  cell function and growth. However, the relative contribution of islet beta  cells versus non-beta cells to glucose-regulated anaplerosis is not known. Furthermore, the fate of glucose carbon entering the Krebs cycle of islet cells remains to be determined. The present study has examined the anaplerosis of glucose carbon in purified rat beta  cells using specific 14C-labeled glucose tracers. Between 5 and 20 mM glucose, the oxidative production of CO2 from [3,4-14C]glucose represented close to 100% of the total glucose utilization by the cells. Anaplerosis, quantified as the difference between 14CO2 production from [3,4-14C]glucose and [6-14C]glucose, was strongly influenced by glucose, particularly between 5 and 10 mM. The dose dependence of glucose-induced insulin secretion correlated with the accumulation of citrate and malate in beta (INS-1) cells. All glucose carbon that was not oxidized to CO2 was recovered from the cells after extraction in trichloroacetic acid. This indirectly indicates that lactate output is minimal in beta  cells. From the effect of cycloheximide upon the incorporation of 14C-glucose into the acid-precipitable fraction, it could be calculated that 25% of glucose carbon entering the Krebs cycle via anaplerosis is channeled into protein synthesis. In contrast, non-beta cells (approximately 80% glucagon-producing alpha  cells) exhibited rates of glucose oxidation that were <FR><NU>1</NU><DE>3</DE></FR> to <FR><NU>1</NU><DE>6</DE></FR> those of the total glucose utilization and no detectable anaplerosis from glucose carbon. This difference between the two cell types was associated with a 7-fold higher expression of the anaplerotic enzyme pyruvate carboxylase in beta cells, as well as a 4-fold lower ratio of lactate dehydrogenase to FAD-linked glycerol phosphate dehydrogenase in beta  cells versus alpha  cells. Finally, glucose caused a dose-dependent suppression of the activity of the pentose phosphate pathway in beta  cells. In conclusion, rat beta  cells metabolize glucose essentially via aerobic glycolysis, whereas glycolysis in alpha  cells is largely anaerobic. The results support the view that anaplerosis is an essential pathway implicated in beta  cell activation by glucose.
