Endothelial Differentiation Gene Receptors in Pancreatic Islets and INS-1 Cells

From the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, the State University of New York at Buffalo, Buffalo, New York

The endothelial differentiation gene (EDG) receptors are a class of G protein-coupled receptors. EDG-1, -3, -5, -6, and -8 bind the bioactive lipid sphingosine-1-phosphate (SPP) as the primary signaling ligand. EDG-2, -4, and -7 bind the ligand lysophosphatidic acid. EDG-1, -2, -3, -5, -6, and -7, but not -8, mRNAs were expressed in isolated rat pancreatic islets, whereas INS-1 insulinoma cells expressed only EDG-1, -2, -3, and -5 mRNAs. EDG-4 mRNA was expressed in mouse islets. EDG-1 mRNA but not EDG-3 mRNA was rapidly induced relative to 18S rRNA after stimulation of isolated islets with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) or cholecystokinin-8S for 2 h. The protein kinase C inhibitor GF 109203X blocked the EDG-1 induction by PMA. Similarly, in islets stimulated for 2 h with 17 mmol/l glucose, the relative EDG-1 mRNA levels increased almost twofold compared with levels in control islets at 5.5 mmol/l glucose. In contrast, after 11 mmol/l glucose stimulation for 7 days, the relative levels of rat islet EDG-1 mRNA were significantly reduced to 54% below that of islets cultured at 5.5 mmol/l glucose. There was no change in relative EDG-3 mRNA levels. Stimulation of EDG receptors in islets and INS-1 cells with SPP inhibited glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1)-stimulated cAMP production and insulin secretion in a concentration-dependent manner. Pertussis toxin antagonized the SPP effects on insulin release. Thus, EDG receptors are expressed in pancreatic islet ß-cells and G_i seems to mediate the inhibition by SPP of adenylyl cyclase and cAMP formation and inhibition of the stimulation of insulin secretion by GLP-1.
