Abstract

Glucose-induced β-cell action potential (AP) repolarization is regulated by potassium efflux through voltage gated (Kv) and calcium activated (K(Ca)) potassium channels. Thus, ablation of the primary Kv channel of the β-cell, Kv2.1, causes increased AP duration. However, Kv2.1(-/-) islet electrical activity still remains sensitive to the potassium channel inhibitor tetraethylammonium. Therefore, we utilized Kv2.1(-/-) islets to characterize Kv and K(Ca) channels and their respective roles in modulating the β-cell AP. The remaining Kv current present in Kv2.1(-/-) β-cells is inhibited with 5 μM CP 339818. Inhibition of the remaining Kv current in Kv2.1(-/-) mouse β-cells increased AP firing frequency by 39.6% but did not significantly enhance glucose stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS). The modest regulation of islet AP frequency by CP 339818 implicates other K(+) channels, possibly K(Ca) channels, in regulating AP repolarization. Blockade of the K(Ca) channel BK with slotoxin increased β-cell AP amplitude by 28.2%, whereas activation of BK channels with isopimaric acid decreased β-cell AP amplitude by 30.6%. Interestingly, the K(Ca) channel SK significantly contributes to Kv2.1(-/-) mouse islet AP repolarization. Inhibition of ...Continue Reading
