Comment | In 1963, it was reported that ATP causes an increase in the insulin secretion by the beta-cells of rabbit pancreas. Now it is known that it is effected through the activation of P2Y and P2X receptors present on pancreatic beta-cells, and that the effect triggered by ATP is dependent on blood glucose concentration. |

Comment | Adipose tissue produces proinflammatory agents such as interleukin-6 (IL-6), C-reactive protein (CRP) and plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1), which increase tissue resistance to insulin. Adenosine through activation of A2B receptors contributes to increased insulin resistance by stimulating production of IL-6 and other cytokines.

Comment | Adenosine in the extracellular space affects the transport of glucose into the cells of skeletal muscles, while in the cardiac muscle cells and adipocytes increases insulin-stimulated glucose transport into the cells. The conversion of adenosine to inosine by adenosine deaminase or blocking the action of adenosine with adenosine receptor antagonists (CPDPX, 8-cyclopentyl-1,3-dipropylxanthine) impairs the insulin-stimulated glucose transport in skeletal muscles. This effect could be due to either a decrease in the number of glucose transporters GLUT4 on the surface of cells or to the reduction of their efficiency. Reducing the number of glucose transporters on the cell surface is also responsible for the reduction in the effectiveness of insulin in glucose transport into skeletal muscle cells and adipocytes, which contributes to the development of insulin resistance. Results obtained by Han and colleagues indicate that adenosine influences the muscle contraction-stimulated and/or insulin-stimulated glucose transport. |

Comment | Numerous studies have demonstrated the activity of enzymes involved in the metabolism of ecto-nucleotides on pancreatic islet cells, alveolar and duct cells as well as blood vessels. Ecto-NTPDases (ectonucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolases) present on the surface of these cells play an essential role in the metabolism of ecto-nucleotides. Four ecto-NTPDases with different biological properties and localization were cloned so far: NTPDase1 (apyrase/CD39), NTPDase2, NTPDase3 and NTPDase8. In humans, the activity of NTPDase1 was found on alveolar cells (acinar cells) and blood vessels and capillaries within the pancreatic islets. Activity of NTPDase2 was found on alveolar cells, on cells surrounding the pancreatic islets and capillaries. NTPDase3 activity has been demonstrated only on Langerhans cells of the pancreas. Furthermore, high NTPDase activity has been demonstrated on platelets of patients with type 2 diabetes. There was no 5’-nucleotidase activity on the pancreatic islets cells, however the activity has been demonstrated in the capillaries of the Langerhans islets. NTPDase1 hydrolyses both ATP and ADP, NTPDase2 hydrolyses mainly ADP and NTPDase3 activity has an intermediate hydrolysis profile. The final product of ATP and ADP hydrolysis is AMP, that is converted to adenosine with the participation of 5’-nucleotidase. |

Comment | Participation of NTPDase1 (apyrase) in insulin secretion was experimentally confirmed by the results of studies, in which administration of the apyrase inhibitor ARL67156 caused an increase in insulin secretion. NTPDase1 impairs insulin secretion both by hydrolysis of extracellular ATP and ADP as by providing AMP as a substrate for 5'-nucleotidase. Thus, NTPDase1 participates in the formation of adenosine. Adenosine-mediated activation of P1 receptors probably slightly inhibits the secretion of insulin. It can be assumed that a significant reduction in the activity of ecto-5’-nucleotidase should result in decreasing the concentration of adenosine outside the cell, which can affect the secretion of insulin. |

Comment | Diabetes includes the metabolic disorders not only of the pancreas, but also other organs and tissues such as liver, skeletal muscles and adipose tissue. The key pathophysiological disorder is abnormal metabolism and glucose transport ssociated with inadequate secretion of insulin. This leads to an increase in blood glucose level, the formation of free fatty acids and the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines. In type 2 diabetes these processes lead to the phenomenon of insulin resistance, which is mainly responsible for the progression of the disease. Purinergic signaling plays a key role in the above processes. Purinergic receptors P1 and P2 are present on the pancreatic islet cells as well as on hepatocytes, adipocytes, in the circulatory system and pancreatic nerves. |

Comment | P2X3 receptor is of particular importance in human beta-cells. The P2X3R activation results in a positive autocrine signal and its subsequent amplification. Insulin secretion increases as a consequence of the process. ATP participates in this autocrine feedback loop associated with the secretion of insulin. ATP is released together with insulin from beta-cell granules in response to the rapid increase in blood glucose concentration. ATP in the extracellular environment, through the P2X3 receptor activation initiates the increase in intracellular calcium ions concentration, and thus amplifies the release of insulin. |
