Research paper thumbnail of Detection and imaging of zinc secretion from pancreatic beta-cells using a new fluorescent zinc indicator

The chelating portion of the molecule resembles known EGTA-based Ca2+-selective fluoroionophores, except that one of the N-acetic acid moieties has been deleted in 9. FluoZin-3 is virtually non-fluorescent in the absence of Zn2+, and exhibits a several hundred-fold fluorescence increase upon saturation with Zn2+( approximately 100 nM), with a Kd = 15 +/- 2 nM. A 1:1 binding stoichiometry of 9:Zn2+ was determined, and the fluorescence of the complex is pH-independent at pH > 6. FluoZin-3 was used to monitor Zn2+ that was co-secreted with insulin from pancreatic beta-cells by exocytosis following stimulation with glucose. The total Zn2+ concentration near the cells reached 600 nM, and Zn2+ was detectable at least 15 mum away from secreting cells. Heterogeneity in secretion among cells was indicated in that some cells in a cluster did not release Zn2+. Also, within secreting cells some regions of the cell membrane gave rise to secretion while others did not, suggesting active zones of secretion on the cell surface.

Research paper thumbnail of Imaging of Zn2+ release from pancreatic beta-cells at the level of single exocytotic events

In the method, beta-cells were incubated in a solution containing the novel fluorescent Zn2+ indicator FluoZin-3. Zn2+ released from the cells reacted with the dye to form a fluorescent product, which was detected by the confocal microscope. The new dye is much brighter than Zinquin, previously used for this application, allowing detection limits of 10-40 nM and temporal resolution of 16 ms/image. The high temporal resolution allowed imaging of isolated fluorescent transients that occurred at the edge of the cells following stimulation with 20 mM glucose or 40 mM K+. Fluorescent transients took 16-50 ms to reach a peak from the initial rise and returned to baseline after 170 +/- 50 ms (n = 78 transients from 15 cells). It was concluded that the transients correspond to detection of exocytotic release of Zn2+. Analysis of the temporal and spatial dispersion of the transients indicates that the release of Zn2+ is not diffusion limited but is instead kinetically controlled in agreement with previous observations of insulin release detected by amperometry.

Research paper thumbnail of Activation and inactivation of Ca2+ release by NAADP+

L., Walseth, T. F., Dargie, P. J., and Lee, H. C. (1987) J. Biol. Chem. 262, 9561-9568; Lee, H. C., and Aarhus, R. (1995) J. Biol. Chem. 270, 2152-2157). The mechanism of Ca2+ release activated by NAADP+ and the Ca2+ stores it acts on are different from those of IP3 and cADPR. In this study we show that photolyzing caged NAADP+ in intact sea urchin eggs elicits long term Ca2+ oscillations. On the other hand, uncaging threshold amounts of NAADP+ produces desensitization. In microsomes, this self-inactivation mechanism exhibits concentration and time dependence. Binding studies show that the NAADP+ receptor is distinct from that of cADPR, and at subthreshold concentrations, NAADP+ can fully inactivate subsequent binding to the receptor in a time-dependent manner. Thus, the NAADP+-sensitive Ca2+ release process has novel regulatory characteristics, which are distinguishable from Ca2+ release mediated by either IP3 or cADPR. This battery of release mechanisms may provide the necessary versatility for cells to respond to diverse signals that lead to Ca2+ mobilization.
