Exogenously administered somatostatin (SST) inhibits secretion of insulin and glucagon. Furthermore, it is hypothesized that islet SST regulates glucagon secretion by a local action. A number of studies utilizing SST antibodies have been performed to test this hypothesis, and their results have been conflicting. Five subtypes of SST receptor (SSTR1-5) mediate the effect of SST on target cells. In rodents, SST inhibits the release of glucagon, but not that of insulin, via SSTR2. A novel SSTR2-selective antagonist, DC-41-33, was synthesized recently. We have investigated the effects of this antagonist on arginine-stimulated glucagon and insulin release in batch incubations of isolated rat islets, perifused isolated rat islets, and isolated perfused rat pancreas. In batch incubations at 3.3 mmol/l glucose, DC-41-33 increased glucagon release in a dose-dependent manner. At the maximum dose tested (2 micro mol/l), DC-41-33 enhanced the glucagon response by 4.3- to 5-fold. Similarly, this compound increased arginine-induced glucagon release in perifused islets at 3.3 mmol/l glucose (2.8-fold) and perfused pancreas at 3.3 and 5.5 mmol/l glucose (2.5- and 2.3-fold, respectively). In the two latter experimental systems, DC-41-33 had no significant effect on insulin release. In conclusion, our results strongly support the hypothesis that islet SST inhibits glucagon secretion via a local action.
