Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: This study was designed to investigate how a Portulaca oleracea L. extract (POE) stimulates insulin secretion in INS-1 pancreatic ${\beta}-cells$. MATERIALS/METHOD: INS-1 pancreatic ${\beta}-cells$ were incubated in the presence of various glucose concentrations: 1.1 or 5.6, 16.7 mM glucose. The cells were treated with insulin secretagogues or insulin secretion inhibitor for insulin secretion assay using an insulin ELISA kit. In order to quantify intracellular influx of $Ca^{2+}$ caused by POE treatment, the effect of POE on intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ in INS-1 pancreatic ${\beta}-cells$ was examined using Fluo-2 AM dye. RESULTS: POE at 10 to $200{\mu}g/mL$ significantly increased insulin secretion dose-dependently as compared to the control. Experiments at three glucose concentrations (1.1, 5.6, and 16.7 mM) confirmed that POE significantly stimulated insulin secretion on its own as well as in a glucose-dependent manner. POE also exerted synergistic effects on insulin secretion with secretagogues, such as L-alanine, 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine, and especially tolbutamide, and at a depolarizing concentration of KCl. The insulin secretion caused by POE was significantly attenuated by treatment with diazoxide, an opener of the $K{^+}_{ATP}$ channel (blocking insulin secretion) and by verapamil (a $Ca^{2+}$ channel blocker). The insulinotropic effect of POE was not observed under $Ca^{2+}$-free conditions in INS-1 pancreatic ${\beta}-cells$. When the cells were preincubated with a $Ca^{2+}$ fluorescent dye, Fluo-2 (acetoxymethyl ester), the cells treated with POE showed changes in fluorescence in red, green, and blue tones, indicating a significant increase in intracellular $Ca^{2+}$, which closely correlated with increases in the levels of insulin secretion. CONCLUSIONS: These findings indicate that POE stimulates insulin secretion via a $K{^+}_{ATP}$ channel-dependent pathway in INS-1 pancreatic ${\beta}-cells$.
