Glucose-stimulated insulin secretion is associated with transients of intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) in the pancreatic beta-cell. We tested the hypothesis that inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P3] [Ca2+]i release is incorporated in glucose-induced [Ca2+]i oscillations in mouse islets and MIN6 cells. We found that depletion of intracellular Ca2+ stores with thapsigargin increased the oscillation frequency by twofold and inhibited the slow recovery phase of [Ca2+]i oscillations. We employed a pleckstrin homology domain-containing fluorescent biosensor, phospholipase C partial differential pleckstrin homology domain-enhanced green fluorescent protein, to visualize Ins(1,4,5)P3 dynamics in insulin-secreting MIN6 cells and mouse islets in real time using a video-rate confocal system. In both types of cells, stimulation with carbamoylcholine (CCh) and depolarization with KCl results in an increase in Ins(1,4,5)P3 accumulation in the cytoplasm. When stimulated with glucose, the Ins(1,4,5)P3 concentration in the cytoplasm oscillates in parallel with oscillations of [Ca2+]i. Maximal accumulation of Ins(1,4,5)P3 in these oscillations coincides with the peak of [Ca2+]i and tracks changes in frequencies induced by the voltage-gated K+ channel blockade. We show that Ins(1,4,5)P3 release in insulin-secreting cells can be stimulated by depolarization-induced Ca2+ flux. We conclude that Ins(1,4,5)P3 concentration oscillates in parallel with [Ca2+]i in response to glucose stimulation, but it is not the driving force for [Ca2+]i oscillations.
