Potassium channels regulate insulin secretion. The closure of K-ATP channels leads to membrane depolarisation, which triggers Ca2+ influx and stimulates insulin secretion. The subsequent activation of K+ channels terminates secretion. We examined whether KCNQ1 channels are expressed in pancreatic beta-cells and analysed their functional role. Using RT/PCR cellular mRNA of KCNQ1 but not of KCNE1 channels was detected in INS-1 cells. Effects of two sulfonamide analogues, 293B and HMR1556, inhibitors of KCNQ1 channels, were examined on voltage-activated outwardly rectifying K+ currents using the patch-clamp method. It was found that 293B inhibited 60% of whole-cell outward currents induced by voltage pulses from -70 to +50 mV with a concentration for half-maximal inhibition (IC50) of 37 mu M. The other sulfonamide analogue HMR1556 inhibited 48% of the outward current with an IC50 of 7 mu M. The chromanol 293B had no effect on tolbutamide-sensitive K-ATP channels. Action potentials induced by current injections were broadened and after-repolarisation was attenuated by 293B. Insulin secretion in the presence but not in the absence of tolbutamide was significantly increased by 293B. These results suggest that 293B- and HMR1556-sensitive channels, probably in concert with other voltage-activated K+ channels, influence action potential duration and frequency and thus insulin secretion.
