TLDR
Glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, glucose transport, glucose phosphorylation and glucose utilization have been characterized in the insulinoma cell line MIN6, indicating that this cell line is an appropriate model for studying the mechanism of glucose- stimulated insulin secretion in pancreatic beta cells.Abstract:
Glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, glucose transport, glucose phosphorylation and glucose utilization have been characterized in the insulinoma cell line MIN6, which is derived from a transgenic mouse expressing the large T-antigen of SV40 in pancreatic beta cells. Glucose-stimulated insulin secretion occurred progressively from 5 mmol/l glucose, reached the maximal level approximately seven-fold above the basal level at 25 mmol/l, and remained at this level up to 50 mmol/l. Glucose transport was very rapid with the half-maximal uptake of 3-O-methyl-d-glucose being reached within 15 s at 22 °C. Glucose phosphorylating activity in the cell homogenate was due mainly to glucokinase; the Vmax value of glucokinase activity was estimated to be 255±37 nmol·h−1·mg protein−1, constituting approximately 80% of total phosphorylating activity, whereas hexokinase activity constituted less than 20%. MIN6 cells exhibited mainly the high Km component of glucose utilization with a Vmax of 289±18 nmol·h−1·mg protein−1. Thus, glucose utilization quantitatively and qualitatively reflected glucose phosphorylation in MIN6 cells. In contrast, MIN7 cells, which exhibited only a small increase in insulin secretion in response to glucose, had 4.7-fold greater hexokinase activity than MIN6 cells with a comparable activity of glucokinase. These characteristics in MIN6 cells are very similar to those of isolated islets, indicating that this cell line is an appropriate model for studying the mechanism of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in pancreatic beta cells.read more

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors localized the Wolfram syndrome (WFS) gene to a BAC/P1 contig of less than 250 kb and found that mutations in a novel gene encoding a putative transmembrane protein were associated with the disease phenotype.

Glucose sensitivity and metabolism-secretion coupling studied during two-year continuous culture in INS-1E insulinoma cells
TL;DR: Stable differentiated INS-1E cells represent a stable and valuable beta-cell model and retained the amplifying pathway, as judged by glucose-evoked augmentation of insulin release in a depolarized state.

TL;DR: It is found that human islet samples heterozygous for rs7903146 showed allelic imbalance in islet FAIRE signals and that the variant alters enhancer activity, indicating that genetic variation at this locus acts in cis with local chromatin and regulatory changes.

A Novel Glucose-Sensing Mechanism Contributing to Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Secretion From the GLUTag Cell Line
TL;DR: It is shown that whereas low concentrations of metabolizable sugars trigger GLP-1 secretion via K(ATP) channel closure, SGLT substrates generate small inward currents as a result of the electrogenic action of the transporter.

TL;DR: Non-neuronal, peripheral serotonin deficiency causes diabetes mellitus and an intracellular role for serotonin in the regulation of insulin secretion is identified.

TL;DR: The MIN6 cell line will be especially useful to analyze the molecular mechanisms by which beta cells regulate insulin secretion in response to extracellular glucose concentrations, and a possible role of GT isoforms in glucose sensing by beta cells is discussed.

TL;DR: New insulin-secreting cell lines established from cells isolated from an x-ray-induced rat transplantable insulinoma indicate that INS-1 cells have remained stable and retain a high degree of differentiation which should make them a suitable model for studying various aspects of beta-cell function.

TL;DR: Insulinoma cells express, inappropriately, the erythrocyte glucose transporter, and it is suggested that this may be related to their inability to secrete insulin in response to elevations in glucose.
