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 | In the cloned pituitary cell line GH3 and rat anterior pituitary cells, adenosine activity via A1 receptors inhibits prolactin release. A regulatory role for adenosine in modulating adenylate cyclase activity and reducing prolactin release from primary cultures of rat anterior pituitary cells in both basal and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP)-stimulated conditions has been suggested. Adenosine, acting through A1 receptors, however, was claimed to stimulate the release of prolactin from the anterior pituitary in vitro. |

Comment | ATP was next shown to stimulate glucagon and insulin secretion from isolated perfused rat pancreas in 1976, which was dependent on low and high glucose concentrations, respectively. The ATP released from secretary granules is broken down to ADP and adenosine monophosphate (AMP) and ectoATPases are present. Adenosine, resulting from ATP breakdown, inhibited insulin secretion stimulated by glucose. Adenosine, ADP and 5'-AMP elicit release of glucagon in isolated perfused rat pancreas. |

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. |

Comment | In pancreatic beta cells the facilitative GLUT-2 transporter mediates glucose entry. Glucose metabolism results in production of ATP, which closes the ATP-sensitive channel, K-ATP. The channel comprises of four Kir6.2 and SUR1 subunits. Closure of K-ATP depolarises the cell membrane potential and thus opens voltage-gated L-type Ca2+ channels eventually leading to generation of Ca2+ action potentials. Exocytosis of secretory vesicles containing insulin (and ATP) is triggered by increases in the cellular Ca2+. |

Comment | P2 receptors can boost and amplify signals associated with the glucose effect on insulin secretion and on proliferation or apoptosis of beta-cells. P2X receptors facilitate Ca2+/Na+ influx and membrane depolarisation, and as a result, they can elicit insulin secretion even at low glucose concentrations. Some P2Y receptors increase cellular Ca2+ and activate protein kinase C (PKC) pathways. In addition, other P2Y and adenosine receptors affect the cyclic AMP pathway and possibly Epac signalling. At high adenosine concentrations, adenosine would be transported into the beta-cell and exert metabolic effects. |
