[HTML][HTML] Tentonin 3/TMEM150C regulates glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in pancreatic β-cells
Cell Reports, 2021•cell.com
Glucose homeostasis is initially regulated by the pancreatic hormone insulin. Glucose-
stimulated insulin secretion in β-cells is composed of two cellular mechanisms: a high
glucose concentration not only depolarizes the membrane potential of the β-cells by ATP-
sensitive K+ channels but also induces cell inflation, which is sufficient to release insulin
granules. However, the molecular identity of the stretch-activated cation channel responsible
for the latter pathway remains unknown. Here, we demonstrate that Tentonin 3/TMEM150C …

Summary
Glucose homeostasis is initially regulated by the pancreatic hormone insulin. Glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in β-cells is composed of two cellular mechanisms: a high glucose concentration not only depolarizes the membrane potential of the β-cells by ATP-sensitive K+ channels but also induces cell inflation, which is sufficient to release insulin granules. However, the molecular identity of the stretch-activated cation channel responsible for the latter pathway remains unknown. Here, we demonstrate that Tentonin 3/TMEM150C (TTN3), a mechanosensitive channel, contributes to glucose-stimulated insulin secretion by mediating cation influx. TTN3 is expressed specifically in β-cells and mediates cation currents to glucose and hypotonic stimulations. The glucose-induced depolarization, firing activity, and Ca2+ influx of β-cells were significantly lower in Ttn3−/− mice. More importantly, Ttn3−/− mice show impaired glucose tolerance with decreased insulin secretion in vivo. We propose that TTN3, as a stretch-activated cation channel, contributes to glucose-stimulated insulin secretion.
