Popis: Mitochondrial oxidative metabolism is central to glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS). Whether Ca2+uptake into pancreatic β-cell mitochondria potentiates or antagonises this process is still a matter of debate. Although the mitochondrial importer (MCU) complex is thought to represent the main route for Ca2+transport across the inner mitochondrial membrane, its role in β-cells has not previously been examinedin vivo. Here, we inactivated the pore-forming subunit MCUa (MCU) selectively in the β-cell in mice usingIns1Cre-mediated recombination. Glucose-stimulated mitochondrial Ca2+accumulation, ATP production and insulin secretion were strongly (pMCUnull animals (βMCU-KO)in vitro. Interestingly, cytosolic Ca2+concentrations increased (pin vivoinsulin secretion at 5 (p2+uptake in pancreatic β-cells and is required for normal GSIS. The apparent compensatory mechanisms which maintain glucose tolerance in βMCU-KO mice remain to be established.
