In order to study the relationship between insulin secretion and DNA synthesis, newborn rat islets were cultured in the presence of different concentrations of glucose, theophylline and 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX). DNA synthesis was evaluated by the incorporation of [3H]thymidine (3H-Tdr) into islet DNA, and the release of insulin and the content of insulin and DNA in the islets were determined. No difference in 3H-Tdr incorporation was observed after 24 h culture in 5.5, 11 and 22 mM glucose in spite of a dose dependent increase in insulin release. 5 mM theophylline potentiated the glucose induced insulin release but lowered both 3H-Tdr synthesis and insulin content in the islets.

Inhibition of the DNA synthesis by 5 mM hydroxyurea resulted in a marked reduction in DNA content of the islets but no decrease in either insulin release or insulin content when expressed per ng DNA.
