Interaction Information:

Comment The pituitary gland is the master endocrine gland lying beneath the hypothalamus. It has an anterior lobe that secretes: thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), which stimulates growth of the thyroid gland and releases its hormone; adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), which regulates the endocrine activities of the adrenal cortex which produces cortisol; follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), which promotes secretion of oestrogen and the development of eggs and sperm cells; gonadotrophins; growth hormone; prolactin; luteinising hormone (LH) that releases oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone; lipotropin and melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH). The posterior lobe (neurohypophysis) secretes vasopressin (VP) and oxytocin (OT), which are synthesised in the hypothalamus and transported to the pituitary, where they are stored before release. The anterior pituitary hormones do not act on endocrine glands, but directly affect specific tissues; prolactin causes breast development and milk production and MSH stimulates pigment cells. There are five cell types in the anterior pituitary, namely lactotrophs, somatotrophs, corticotrophs, gonadotrophs and thyrotrophs, as well as pituitary stem cells.

Comment Insulin granules contain ATP (and ADP). These granules are secreted and were detected as quantal exocytotic release from rat beta-cells expressing P2X2 receptors acting as ATP biosensors; ATP concentrations up to 25 micromol/l close to plasma cell membranes have been detected. ATP was shown to be released by exocytosis, while insulin was retained in the granule, suggesting that basal release of ATP may have a role as an autocrine regulator. The vesicular nucleotide transporter (VNUT) is expressed in pancreatic beta-cells and VNUT-mediated ATP release is part of the mechanism that controls glucose-induced secretion. P2X receptors are critical in mediating the effect of ATP on insulin secretion when VNUT is overexpressed. Evidence has been presented to suggest that P2Y1 as well as P2X receptors play a role in the modulation of insulin secretion, proliferation and cell viability in mouse pancreatic beta-cells. ATP is also co-released with 5-hydroxythryptamine (5-HT), gamma-aminobutyric acid, glutamate and zinc, which have further autocrine coregulatory functions on insulin secretion. Extracellular nucleotides inhibit insulin receptor signalling.

P2X receptors facilitate Ca2+/Na+ influx and membrane depolarisation, and as a result, they can elicit insulin secretion even at low glucose concentrations.
