The importance of mitochondrial biosynthesis in stimulus secretion coupling in the insulin-producing beta-cell probably equals that of ATP production. In glucose-induced insulin secretion, the rate of pyruvate carboxylation is very high and correlates more strongly with the glucose concentration the beta-cell is exposed to ( and thus with insulin release) than does pyruvate decarboxylation, which produces acetyl-CoA for metabolism in the citric acid cycle to produce ATP. The carboxylation pathway can increase the levels of citric acid cycle intermediates, and this indicates that anaplerosis, the net synthesis of cycle intermediates, is important for insulin secretion. Increased cycle intermediates will alter mitochondrial processes, and, therefore, the synthesized intermediates must be exported from mitochondria to the cytosol ( cataplerosis). This further suggests that these intermediates have roles in signaling insulin secretion. Although evidence is quite good that all physiological fuel secretagogues stimulate insulin secretion via anaplerosis, evidence is just emerging about the possible extramitochondrial roles of exported citric acid cycle intermediates. This article speculates on their potential roles as signaling molecules themselves and as exporters of equivalents of NADPH, acetyl-CoA and malonyl-CoA, as well as alpha-ketoglutarate as a substrate for hydroxylases. We also discuss the succinate mechanism, which hypothesizes that insulin secretagogues produce both NADPH and mevalonate. Finally, we discuss the role of mitochondria in causing oscillations in beta-cell citrate levels. These parallel oscillations in ATP and NAD(P) H. Oscillations in beta-cell plasma membrane electrical potential, ATP/ADP and NAD(P)/NAD(P) H ratios, and glycolytic flux are known to correlate with pulsatile insulin release. Citrate oscillations might synchronize oscillations of individual mitochondria with one another and mitochondrial oscillations with oscillations in glycolysis and, therefore, with flux of pyruvate into mitochondria. Thus citrate oscillations may synchronize mitochondrial ATP production and anaplerosis with other cellular oscillations.
