Abstract
Isolated islets of the rat labelled with myo-[3H]inositol showed decreased accumulation of total inositol phosphates (InsPs) and [3H]polyphosphoinositide hydrolysis in response to glucose after preincubation with prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). The response was concentration-dependent and specific for PGE2. PGE2 did not affect basal [3H]phosphoinositide hydrolysis or InsPs accumulation. Pertussis-toxin pretreatment antagonized the response to PGE2, whereas 8-bromo cyclic AMP was without effect. The PGE2-induced decrease in InsPs may contribute to the suppression of insulin secretion.
