Class A Calcium Channel Variants in Pancreatic Islets and Their Role in Insulin Secretion

Brooke Ligon, Aubrey E. Boyd III§, and Kathleen Dunlap

From the Departments of Neuroscience and Physiology, and § Division of Endocrinology, Tufts University School of Medicine, Boston, Massachusetts 02111

The initiation of insulin release from rat islet beta  cells relies, in large part, on calcium influx through dihydropyridine-sensitive (alpha 1D) voltage-gated calcium channels. Components of calcium-dependent insulin secretion and whole cell calcium current, however, are resistant to L-type channel blockade, as well as to omega -conotoxin GVIA, a potent inhibitor of alpha 1B channels, suggesting the expression of additional exocytotic calcium channels in the islet. We used a reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction-based strategy to ascertain at the molecular level whether the alpha 1A calcium channel isoform was also present. Results revealed two new variants of the rat brain alpha 1A channel in the islet with divergence in a putative extracellular domain and in the carboxyl terminus. Using antibodies and cRNA probes specific for alpha 1A channels, we found that the majority of cells in rat pancreatic islets were labeled, indicating expression of the alpha 1A channels in beta  cells, the predominant islet cell type. Electrophysiologic recording from isolated islet cells demonstrated that the dihydropyridine-resistant current was sensitive to the alpha 1A channel blocker, omega -agatoxin IVA. This toxin also inhibited the dihydropyridine-resistant component of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, suggesting functional overlap among calcium channel classes. These findings confirm the presence of multiple high voltage-activated calcium channels in the rat islet and implicate a physiologic role for alpha 1A channels in excitation-secretion coupling in beta  cells.
