Regulation of glucose transporters GLUT-4 and GLUT-1 gene transcription in denervated skeletal muscle.

چکیده
Because GLUT-4 expression is decreased whereas GLUT-1 expression is increased in denervated skeletal muscle, we examined the effects of denervation on GLUT-4 and GLUT-1 gene transcription. The right hindlimb skeletal muscle of male transgenic mice containing sequential truncations (2,400, 1,639, 1,154, and 730 bp) of the human GLUT-4 promoter linked to the chloramphenacol acyl transferase (CAT) gene was denervated, and the contralateral hindlimb was sham operated. RNase protection analysis revealed that after 72 h denervation decreased CAT mRNA and GLUT-4 mRNA levels 64-85%, respectively (P < 0.05), in the gastrocnemius muscles. In contrast, denervation of the right hindlimb of male rats increased GLUT-1 gene transcription and GLUT-1 mRNA levels by 94 and 213%, respectively (P < 0.05). In conclusion, GLUT-4 transcription is decreased but GLUT-1 transcription is increased in denervated skeletal muscle, suggesting that the effects of denervation on GLUT-4 and GLUT-1 expression are, in part, transcriptionally mediated. Furthermore, these data indicate that a DNA sequence regulated by denervation is located within 730 bp of the 5'-flanking promoter region of the human GLUT-4 gene.

Insulin-mediated translocation of GLUT-4-containing vesicles is preserved in denervated muscles.
Skeletal muscle denervation decreases insulin-sensitive glucose uptake into this tissue as a result of marked GLUT-4 protein downregulation ( approximately 20% of controls). The process of insulin-stimulated glucose transport in muscle requires the movement or translocation of intracellular GLUT-4-rich vesicles to the cell surface, and it is accompanied by the translocation of several additiona...
متن کاملInvited review: Regulation of skeletal muscle GLUT-4 expression by exercise.
The amount of GLUT-4 protein is a primary factor in determining the maximal rate of glucose transport into skeletal muscle. Therefore, it is important that we understand how exercise regulates GLUT-4 expression so that therapeutic strategies can be designed to increase muscle glucose disposal as a treatment for diabetes. Muscle contraction increases the rates of GLUT-4 transcription and transla...
متن کاملTime-dependent and tissue-specific effects of circulating glucose on fetal ovine glucose transporters.
To determine the cellular adaptations to fetal hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia, we examined the time-dependent effects on basal (GLUT-1 and GLUT-3) and insulin-responsive (GLUT-4) glucose transporter proteins by quantitative Western blot analysis in fetal ovine insulin-insensitive (brain and liver) and insulin-sensitive (myocardium, skeletal muscle, and adipose) tissues. Maternal glucose infusio...

Two groups of hypothyroid rats were used; one group was given 2-mercapto-1-methylimidazole (MMI) treatment in the drinking water of the mothers and was killed at 2 and 4 days of life, and the other group was given similar MMI treatment and then was thyroidectomized at 5 days of life and killed at 8 or 20 days. Serum insulin, growth hormone (GH), and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) were dec...
متن کاملInsulin-induced translocation of facilitative glucose transporters in fetal/neonatal rat skeletal muscle.
We examined the effect of insulin on fetal/neonatal rat skeletal muscle GLUT-1 and GLUT-4 concentrations and subcellular distribution by employing immunohistochemical analysis and subcellular fractionation followed by Western blot analysis. We observed that insulin did not alter total GLUT-1 or GLUT-4 concentrations or the GLUT-1 subcellular distribution in fetal/neonatal or adult skeletal musc...
