چکیده
Inositol phosphate glycan pseudotetrasaccharides consisting of man-(alpha1-6)-man-(alpha1-4)-glcN-(alpha,beta1-6)-myo-inositol-1,2-cyclic phosphate possessing a sulfate group at either O-6 (compounds 3alpha,beta) or O-2 (compounds 4alpha,beta) of the terminal mannose have been prepared. Compound 4alpha was able to stimulate lipogenesis in native rat adipocytes to 78% of the maximal insulin response (MIR) with an EC50 of 1.1 microM. The other compounds exhibited lower maximal stimulations (47-63% MIR) and higher EC50 values (9.5-10.6 microM).

Phosphoinositolglycan-Peptides from Yeast Potently Induce Metabolic Insulin Actions in Isolated Rat Adipocytes, Cardiomyocytes, and Diaphragms.
Polar headgroups of free glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol (GPI) lipids or protein-bound GPI membrane anchors have been shown to exhibit insulin-mimetic activity in different cell types. However, elucidation of the molecular mode of action of these phospho-inositolglycan (PIG) molecules has been hampered by 1) lack of knowledge of their exact structure; 2) variable action profiles; and 3) rather mo...
متن کاملA fluorescent inositol phosphate glycan stimulates lipogenesis in rat adipocytes by extracellular activation alone.
The chemical synthesis of 2,6-dideoxy-2-amino-6-mercaptoglucopyranosyl-(alpha1-6)-myo-inositol 1,2-cyclic phosphate and its conjugation with a lucifer yellow derivative are reported. The resulting fluorescent IPG analogue was able to stimulate lipogenesis in rat adipocytes despite the fact that it was not internalized into the cell. The results demonstrate that internalization of the IPG is not...
متن کاملInsulin-induced activation of glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase by a chiro-inositol-containing insulin mediator is defective in adipocytes of insulin-resistant, type II diabetic, Goto-Kakizaki rats.
Type II diabetic Goto-Kakizaki (GK) rats were insulin-resistant in euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp studies. We therefore examined insulin signaling systems in control Wistar and diabetic GK rats. Glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase (G3PAT), which is activated by headgroup mediators released from glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol (GPI), was activated by insulin in intact and cell-free adipocyte p...
متن کاملIsolation of insulin-sensitive phosphatidylinositol-glycan from rat adipocytes. Its impaired breakdown in the streptozotocin-diabetic rat.
In this study an insulin-sensitive glycophospholipid from rat adipocytes was isolated and partially characterized. A material that activated pyruvate dehydrogenase was extracted from rat adipocyte membrane supernatants. Its release was stimulated by insulin and phosphatidylinositol-specific-phospholipase C and its activity was destroyed by nitrous acid deamination. These findings suggested that...
متن کاملInsulin-Mimicking Bioactivities of Acylated Inositol Glycans in Several Mouse Models of Diabetes with or without Obesity
Insulin-mimetic species of low molecular weight are speculated to mediate some intracellular insulin actions. These inositol glycans, which are generated upon insulin stimulation from glycosylphosphatidylinositols, might control the activity of a multitude of insulin effector enzymes. Acylated inositol glycans (AIGs) are generated by cleavage of protein-free GPI precursors through the action of...
