| abstractText | AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: Nutrient homeostasis requires integration of signals generated by glucose metabolism and hormones. Expression of the calcium-stimulated adenylyl cyclase ADCY8 is regulated by glucose and the enzyme is capable of integrating signals from multiple pathways. It may thus have an important role in glucose-induced signalling and glucose homeostasis. METHODS: We used pharmacological and genetic approaches in beta cells to determine secretion and calcium metabolism. Furthermore, Adcy8 knockout mice were characterised. RESULTS: In clonal beta cells, inhibitors of adenylyl cyclases or their downstream targets reduced the glucose-induced increase in cytosolic calcium and insulin secretion. This was reproduced by knock-down of ADCY8, but not of ADCY1. These agents also inhibited glucose-induced increase in cytosolic calcium and electrical activity in primary beta cells and similar effects were observed after ADCY8 knock-down. Moreover, insulin secretion was diminished in islets from Adcy8 knockout mice. These mice were glucose intolerant after oral or intraperitoneal administration of glucose whereas their levels of glucagon-like peptide-1 remained unaltered. Finally, we knocked down ADCY8 in the ventromedial hypothalamus to evaluate the need for ADCY8 in the central regulation of glucose homeostasis. Whereas mice fed a standard diet had normal glucose levels, high-fat diet exacerbated glucose intolerance and knock-down mice were incapable of raising their plasma insulin levels. Finally we confirmed that ADCY8 is expressed in human islets. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATIONS: Collectively, our findings demonstrate that ADCY8 is required for the physiological activation of glucose-induced signalling pathways in beta cells, for glucose tolerance and for hypothalamic adaptation to a high-fat diet via regulation of islet insulin secretion. |
