Dynamics of glucose-induced insulin release from mouse islets transplanted under the kidney capsule.

Mouse pancreatic islet grafts under the kidney capsule of syngeneic hosts were removed and perifused in vitro 1-40 weeks after the transplantation. In comparison with fresh islets, 12- to 40-week-old grafts exhibited an attenuated first phase of glucose-stimulated insulin release. In grafts 1, 12, 28, or 40 weeks old, but not in fresh islets, the mean secretory rate during the initial 10 min of stimulation was significantly lower than that during the subsequent 15 min. When expressed in relation to insulin content, the insulin output in response to 11 mmol/L glucose was no less from grafts than from fresh islets; in grafts 12 or 40 weeks old at 16.7 mmol/L glucose, the fractional output above baseline was significantly diminished during the initial 10 min, but not subsequently. Immediately on switching from basal to stimulatory glucose concentration, there was a transient drop in insulin secretion from the grafts, especially after more than 12 weeks of transplantation and in response to 16.7, as compared with 11, mmol/L glucose. When glucose was switched back from stimulatory to basal concentration, grafts also frequently exhibited a transient increase in the insulin secretory rate. Neither initial drops nor "off responses" were seen in untransplanted islets. The modifications of the secretory dynamics in islet grafts suggest that transplantation influences the balance between the stimulatory and inhibitory influences of glucose on the beta-cell's secretory machinery.
