RESUMO
The effects of carbamylcholine (CCh) and phorbol12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) on insulin secretion were studied in pancreatic islets from rats maintained on a normal (17%; NP) or low (6%; LP) protein diet. Isolated islets were incubated for 1 h in Krebs-bicarbonate solution containing 8.3 mmol/L glucose, with orwithoutPMA (400 J.UI1ol/L) and CCh. Increasing concentrations ofCCh (0.1-1 000 _mol/L) dose dependent1y increased the insulin secretion by islets from both groups of rats. However, the dose--response curve to CCh was shifted to the right in LP islets with an ECso of2.15 :t: 0.7 and 4.64:t: 0.1 _mol CCh/L in NP and LP islets, respectively (P <0.05). The PMA-induced insulin secretion was three-fold higher in NP compared to LP islets. Western bloting revealed that the PKCa. and PLCJ31 contents ofLP islets were 300,10 lower than in NP islets (P <0.05). In addition, PKCa. mRNA expression was reduced by 50% in islets from LP rats. In conclusion, a reduced expression ofPKCa. and PLCJ31 may be involved in the decreased insulin secretion by islets from LP rats following stimulation with CCh and PMA. We also investigated the efIects offorskolin, a stímulator ofadenylyl cyc1ase, on insulin secretíon by pancreatic islets from rats fed a normal (17%; NP) or low (6%; LP) protein diet for 8 weeks. Isolated islets were incubated for 1 h in Krebs-bicarbonate solution containing 8.3 mmol glucose/L, with or without 10 J.UI101 forskolin/L. The forskolin-induced insulin secretion was higher in NP than in LP islets (P <0.05). Western Iblotting revealed that the amount of the alpha cata1ytic subunit of protein kinase A (pKAa.) was 35% lower in LP compared with NP islets (P <0.05). Moreover, PKAa. MRNA expression was reduced by 300.10 in islets from LP rats (P <0.05). Our results indicated a possible relationship between a low protein diet and a reduction ofPKAa. expression. These alterations in PKAa. may be partly responsible for the decreased insulin secretion by islets from rats fed a low protein diet
