Distinct Akt phosphorylation states are required for insulin regulated Glut4 and Glut1-mediated glucose uptake
نویسندگان
چکیده
Insulin, downstream of Akt activation, promotes glucose uptake into fat and muscle cells to lower postprandial blood glucose, an enforced change in cellular metabolism to maintain glucose homeostasis. This effect is mediated by the Glut4 glucose transporter. Growth factors also enhance glucose uptake to fuel an anabolic metabolism required for tissue growth and repair. This activity is predominantly mediated by the Glut1. Akt is activated by phosphorylation of its kinase and hydrophobic motif (HM) domains. We show that insulin-stimulated Glut4-mediated glucose uptake requires PDPK1 phosphorylation of the kinase domain but not mTORC2 phosphorylation of the HM domain. Nonetheless, an intact HM domain is required for Glut4-mediated glucose uptake. Whereas, Glut1-mediated glucose uptake also requires mTORC2 phosphorylation of the HM domain, demonstrating both phosphorylation-dependent and independent roles of the HM domain in regulating glucose uptake. Thus, mTORC2 links Akt to the distinct physiologic programs related to Glut4 and Glut1-mediated glucose uptake.

Sustained exposure of L6 myotubes to high glucose and insulin decreases insulin-stimulated GLUT4 translocation but upregulates GLUT4 activity.
Hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia are cardinal features of acquired insulin resistance. In adipose cell cultures, high glucose and insulin cause insulin resistance of glucose uptake, but because of altered GLUT4 expression and contribution of GLUT1 to glucose uptake, the basis of insulin resistance could not be ascertained. Here we show that GLUT4 determines glucose uptake in L6 myotubes stabl...

PURPOSE Extraocular muscles show specific adaptations to fulfill the metabolic demands imposed by their constant activity. One aspect that has not been explored is the availability of substrate for energy pathways in extraocular muscles. In limb muscles, glucose enters by way of GLUT1 and GLUT4 transporters in a process regulated by insulin and contractile activity to match metabolic supply to ...

Background: Oleuropein, the main constituent of olive fruit and leaves, has been reported to protect against insulin resistance and diabetes. While many experimental investigations have examined the mechanisms by which oleuropein improves insulin resistance and diabetes, much of these investigations have been carried out in either muscle cell lines or in vivo models two scenarios with many draw...

Multiple studies have suggested that the protein kinase Akt/PKB (protein kinase B) is required for insulin-stimulated glucose transport in skeletal muscle and adipose cells. In an attempt to understand links between Akt activation and glucose transport regulation, we applied mass spectrometry-based proteomics and bioinformatics approaches to identify potential Akt substrates containing the phos...
متن کاملCeramide- and oxidant-induced insulin resistance involve loss of insulin-dependent Rac-activation and actin remodeling in muscle cells.
In muscle cells, insulin elicits recruitment of the glucose transporter GLUT4 to the plasma membrane. This process engages sequential signaling from insulin receptor substrate (IRS)-1 to phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase and the serine/threonine kinase Akt. GLUT4 translocation also requires an Akt-independent but PI 3-kinase-and Rac-dependent remodeling of filamentous actin. Although IRS-1 pho...
