ABSTRACT
Cell culture of different pancreatic islet cell lines, like the murine α-cell line αTC1.9, the rat ß-cell lines INS-1 and INS-1 832/13, and the human δ-cell line QGP-1, can serve as valuable cell models for the analysis of melatonin-dependent modulation of hormone secretion. The paper summarizes in detail the requirements of culture for each cell line and includes batch protocols to stimulate hormone secretion and to treat cells with several melatonin concentrations as previously published. We here describe the processing of collected cell pellets or cell culture supernatants as well as different methods to analyze cell experiments after melatonin treatment on the basis of our own experience. Finally, we outlined for each cell line under which conditions the melatonin treatment should be performed to gain reproducible results.
