AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is an evolutionarily-conserved enzyme and a target of antihyperglycemic agents including metformin. However, the precise role(s) of the enzyme in controlling insulin secretion remains uncertain. The catalytic α1 and α2 subunits of AMPK were ablated selectively in pancreatic beta cells and hypothalamic neurons by breeding AMPKα1 null mice, bearing flox’d AMPKα2 alleles, with animals expressing Cre recombinase under the rat insulin promoter. The latter promoter was used to express constitutively-activated AMPK selectively in beta cells in transgenic mice. Food intake, body weight and urinary catecholamines were measured using metabolic cages. Glucose and insulin tolerance were determined after intraperitoneal injection. Beta cell mass and morphology were analysed by optical projection tomography and confocal immunofluorescence microscopy, respectively. Granule docking, insulin secretion, membrane potential, and intracellular free Ca2+ were measured with standard techniques. Trigenic βAMPKdKO mice, lacking both AMPK α subunits in the beta cell, displayed normal body weight and increased insulin sensitivity, but were profoundly insulin deficient. Secreted catecholamine levels were unchanged. Total beta cell mass was unaltered whilst mean islet and beta cell volume were reduced. AMPK-deficient beta cells displayed normal glucose-induced changes in membrane potential and intracellular free Ca2+ whilst granule docking and insulin secretion were enhanced. Conversely, βAMPK transgenic mice were glucose-intolerant and displayed defective insulin secretion. Inhibition of AMPK activity within the beta cell is necessary, but not sufficient, for the stimulation of insulin secretion by glucose. AMPK activation in extrapancreatic RIP.Cre-expressing cells might also influence insulin secretion in vivo
