Impact of mitochondrial calcium on the coupling of metabolism to insulin secretion in the pancreatic beta-cell

Cell Calcium
Andreas Wiederkehr, Claes B Wollheim

Abstract

Mitochondria play an essential role in metabolism-secretion coupling in the pancreatic beta-cell. Dysfunction of the organelle leads to impaired glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, as exemplified by the rare disease mitochondrial diabetes, which is caused by mutations in the mitochondrial DNA. In the excitable beta-cell, mitochondria generate ATP and possibly other coupling factors that promote plasma membrane depolarization and calcium influx triggering insulin exocytosis. Cytosolic calcium signals are relayed into the mitochondria, where the ion potentiates oxidative metabolism. Hormones such as glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) or neurotransmitter secretagogues stimulate the beta-cell by activating different signal transduction pathways eventually also raising mitochondrial calcium. Likewise, pharmacological inhibition of the Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger of the inner mitochondrial membrane augments intra-organellar calcium and insulin secretion. Islets obtained after autopsy from type 2 diabetic patients have altered mitochondrial morphology impaired glucose oxidation and reduced ATP generation, explaining defective insulin secretion. We hypothesize that the improvement of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion by sulfonylurea compo...Continue Reading
