Abstract
Effects of the immunosuppressant cyclosporin A (CsA), a specific inhibitor of Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein phosphatase (PP2B), were examined with regard to the induction of insulin secretion from MIN6 cells, a glucose-responsive cell line derived from mouse insulinoma. CsA had no effect on basal insulin secretion from MIN6 cells, but did increase glucose-, tolbutamide-, and KCl-induced insulin secretion. Treatment of the cells with CsA resulted in a dose-dependent increase in insulin secretion, which was maximal at 3 microM. CsA inhibited PP2B activity in a dose-dependent manner, and the increase in insulin secretion correlated with the decrease in PP2B activity. In 32P-labeled cells, treatment with CsA for 30 min increased phosphorylation of synapsin I-like protein by 50 +/- 5.7%. As revealed by one-dimensional phosphopeptide mapping of 32P-labeled synapsin I-like protein, treatment with CsA for 30 min increased phosphorylation of site II of synapsin I-like protein by 59 +/- 8%, which is phosphorylated by calmodulin kinase II. Messenger RNAs, which hybridize with complementary DNAs of calcineurin A and B subunits from rat brain, were detected in MIN6 cells. Western blot analysis showed a 61-kDa band, which interacts with ...Continue Reading
