Fasiglifam (TAK-875) is a free fatty acid receptor 1 (FFAR1)/G-protein-coupled receptor 40 (GPR40) agonist that improves glycemic control in type 2 diabetes with minimum risk of hypoglycemia. Fasiglifam potentiates glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) from pancreatic beta-cells glucose dependently, although the precise mechanism underlying the glucose dependency still remains unknown. Here, we investigated key cross-talk between the GSIS pathway and FFAR1 signaling, and Ca2+ dynamics using mouse insulinoma MIN6 cells. We demonstrated that the glucose-dependent insulinotropic effect of fasiglifam required membrane depolarization and that fasiglifam induced a glucose-dependent increase in intracellular Ca2+ level and amplification of Ca2+ oscillations. This differed from the sulfonylurea glimepiride that induced changes in Ca2+ dynamics glucose independently. Stimulation with cell-permeable analogs of IP3 or diacylglycerol (DAG), downstream second messengers of Gaq-FFAR1, augmented GSIS similar to fasiglifam, indicating their individual roles in the potentiation of GSIS pathway. Intriguingly, the IP3 analog triggered similar Ca2+ dynamics to fasiglifam, whereas the DAG analog had no effect. Despite the lack of an effect on Ca2+ dynamics, the DAG analog elicited synergistic effects on insulin secretion with Ca2+ influx evoked by an L-type voltage-dependent calcium channel opener that mimics glucose-dependent Ca2+ dynamics. These results indicate that the Gaq signaling activated by fasiglifam enhances GSIS pathway via dual potentiating mechanisms in which IP3 amplifies glucose-induced Ca2+ oscillations and DAG/protein kinase C (PKC) augments downstream secretory mechanisms independent of Ca2+ oscillations.
