The effects of acute omission of extracellular Na+on pancreatic B-cell function were studied in mouse islets, using choline and lithium salts as impermeant and permeant substitutes, respectively. In the absence of glucose, choline substitution for Na+hyperpolarized the B-cell membrane, inhibited86Rb+and45Ca2+efflux, but did not affect insulin release. In contrast, Li+substitution for Na+depolarized the B-cell membrane and caused a Ca2+-independent, transient acceleration of45Ca2+efflux and insulin release. Na+replacement by choline in the presence of 10 mM glucose and 2.5 mM Ca2+again rapidly hyperpolarized the B-cell membrane. This hyperpolarization was then followed by a phase of depolarization with continuous spike activity, before long slow waves of the membrane potential resumed. Under these conditions,86Rb+efflux first decreased before accelerating, concomitantly with marked and parallel increases in45Ca2+efflux and insulin release. In the absence of Ca2+,45Ca2+and86Rb+efflux were inhibited and insulin release was unaffected by choline substitution for Na+. Na+replacement by Li+in the presence of 10 mM glucose rapidly depolarized the B-cell membrane, caused an intense continuous spike activity, and accelerated45Ca2+efflux,86Rb+efflux and insulin release. In the absence of extracellular Ca2+, Li+still caused a rapid but transient increase in45Ca2+and86Rb+efflux and in insulin release. Although not indispensable for insulin release, Na+plays an important regulatory role in stimulus-secretion coupling by modulating, among others, membrane potential and ionic fluxes in B-cells.
