Insulin is secreted from the pancreatic ?-cells in response to elevated glucose.
In intact islets the capacity for insulin release is determined by a complex
interplay between different cell types. This has made it difficult to
specifically assess the role of ?-cell defects to the insulin secretory
impairment in type 2 diabetes. Here we describe a new approach, based on
optogenetics, that enables specific investigation of ?-cells in intact islets. We
used transgenic mice expressing the light-sensitive cation channel
Channelrhodopsin-2 (ChR2) under control of the insulin promoter. Glucose
tolerance in vivo was assessed using intraperitoneal glucose tolerance tests, and
glucose-induced insulin release was measured from static batch incubations. ChR2
localization was determined by fluorescence confocal microscopy. The effect of
ChR2 stimulation with blue LED light was assessed using Ca(2+) imaging and static
islet incubations. Light stimulation of islets from transgenic ChR2 mice
triggered prompt increases in intracellular Ca(2+). Moreover, light stimulation
enhanced insulin secretion in batch-incubated islets at low and intermediate but
not at high glucose concentrations. Glucagon release was not affected. Beta-cells
from mice rendered diabetic on a high-fat diet exhibited a 3.5-fold increase in
light-induced Ca(2+) influx compared with mice on a control diet. Furthermore,
light enhanced insulin release also at high glucose in these mice, suggesting
that high-fat feeding leads to a compensatory potentiation of the Ca(2+) response
in ?-cells. The results demonstrate the usefulness and versatility of
optogenetics for studying mechanisms of perturbed hormone secretion in diabetes
with high time-resolution and cell-specificity.
