The exposure of normal pancreatic islets to cyclosporin-A (1 .mu.g/ml) for 24 hr resulted in significant inhibition of glucose-induced (16.7 mM) insulin release from 197 .+-. 14 .mu.U/10 islets/15 min (control) to 103 .+-. 14 .mu.U/10 islets/15 min (Cy-A-treated islets; P < 0.001). Cy-A did not alter insulin release in the presence of non-stimulatory (1.7 nM) or submaximally effective glucose concentrations (9.2 mM). In parallel experiments, Cy-A reduced glucose-stimulated increases in cytosolic free calcium concentrations, [Ca2+]i (217 .+-. 15 nM without and 137 .+-. nM with Cy-A in the presence of 16.7 mM glucose, P < 0.01). To better define the site of Cy-A action, we studied its effect on insulin release and increases in [Ca2+]i induced by either K+ (50 mM), which promotes Ca2+ influx via the voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels, or by forskolin (20 .mu.M),dibutyryl cyclic AMP (1 mM) or arachidonic acid (49 .mu.M), all of which stimulate mobilization of intracellular Ca2+ stores. Cy-A significantly inhibited K+-induced changes (203 .+-. 13 nM without and 77 .+-. 6 nM with Cy-A, respectively, P < 0.001), but not those induced by forskolin, dibutyryl cyclic AMP or arachidonic acid. These observations suggest that Cy-A inhibits insulin release by interfering with Ca2+ influx via voltage-dependent calcium channels.
