The effect of cyclic AMP on calcium movements in the pancreatic beta-cell was evaluated using an experimental approach based on in situ labelling of intracellular organelles of ob/ob-mouse islets with 45Ca. Whereas the glucose-stimulated 14Ca incorporation by mitochondria and secretory granules was increased under a condition known to reduce cyclic AMP (starvation), raised levels of this nucleotide (addition of 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine or N6,O2'-dibutyryl adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate) reduced the mitochondrial accumulation of 45Ca. Conditions with increased cyclic AMP were associated with a stimulated efflux of 45Ca from the secretory granules but not from the mitochondria. The microsomal fraction differed from both the mitochondrial and secretory granule fractions by accumulating more 45Ca after the addition of 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine. The results suggest that cyclic AMP potentiates glucose-stimulaated insulin release by increasing cytoplasmic Ca2+ at the expense of the calcium taken up by the organelles of the pancreatic beta-cells.
