Observation of Insulin Exocytosis by a Pancreatic β Cell Line with Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence Microscopy
INSULIN secretion was traditionally measured with biochemical and immunological methods such as enzyme linked immunosorbant ?assay and radioimmunoassay. However
these methods can only tell the amount of insulin secreted; they give no information about the secretion process or mechanism of exocytosis. In recent years
an imaging technique known as total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy has been employed to study insulin secretion.1-4 This imaging technique can explore events taking place near or on live cell membrane
such as secretory granule movement
exocytosis
vesicle content release
and membrane fusion.5-10 In the present paper
we applied TIRF microscopy to the observation of insulin exocytosis by the pancreatic β cell line Ins-1.
