Insulin stimulation of pyruvate dehydrogenase in adipocytes involves two distinct signalling pathways.

چکیده
In isolated rat adipocytes, the insulin stimulation of pyruvate dehydrogenase can be partially inhibited by inhibitors of PI3K (phosphoinositide 3-kinase) and MEK1/2 (mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinase kinase). In combination, U0126 and wortmannin completely block the insulin stimulation of pyruvate dehydrogenase. It is concluded that the effect of insulin on pyruvate dehydrogenase in rat adipocytes involves two distinct signalling pathways: one is sensitive to wortmannin and the other to U0126. The synthetic phosphoinositolglycan PIG41 can activate pyruvate dehydrogenase but the activation is only approx. 30% of the maximal effect of insulin. This modest activation can be completely blocked by wortmannin alone, suggesting that PIG41 acts through only one of the pathways leading to the activation of pyruvate dehydrogenase.

Multiple signalling pathways involved in the stimulation of fatty acid and glycogen synthesis by insulin in rat epididymal fat cells.
We have investigated the signalling pathways involved in the stimulation of glycogen and fatty acid synthesis by insulin in rat fat cells using wortmannin, an inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, and rapamycin, which blocks activation of p70 ribosomal S6 protein kinase (p70S6K). Insulin produced a decrease in the activity of glycogen synthase kinase-3 which is likely to be important in t...
متن کاملIsolation from rat adipocytes of a chemical mediator for insulin activation of pyruvate dehydrogenase.
Insulin treatment of adipocytes increased the amount or activity of a low molecular weight, acid-stable material which, when isolated from intact adipocytes by heat extraction and subsequent Sephadex G25 chromatography, yielded a single active fraction that stimulated mitochondrial pyruvate dehydrogenase by activating the phosphatase and not by altering the kinase activity. Phosphatase activati...
متن کاملInsulin resistance of glucose metabolism in isolated brown adipocytes of lactating rats. Evidence for a post-receptor defect in insulin action.
The mechanism responsible for the insulin resistance described in vivo in brown adipose tissue (BAT) of lactating rats was investigated. The effect of insulin on glucose metabolism was studied on isolated brown adipocytes of non-lactating and lactating rats. Insulin stimulation of total glucose metabolism is 50% less in brown adipocytes from lactating than from non-lactating rats. This reflects...
متن کاملThe STAT5A-mediated induction of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4 expression by prolactin or growth hormone in adipocytes.
The purpose of this study was to determine whether pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDK)4 was expressed in adipocytes and whether PDK4 expression was hormonally regulated in fat cells. Both Northern blot and Western blot analyses were conducted on samples isolated from 3T3-L1 adipocytes after various treatments with prolactin (PRL), growth hormone (GH), and/or insulin. Transfection of PDK4 promot...
متن کاملInsulin-stimulating protein from human plasma. Chemical characteristics and biological activity.
A protein that potentiates the action of insulin in vitro was purified from human plasma. When reduced with 2-mercaptoethanol and then carboxymethylated, it yielded a single subunit, indicating that it was composed of two identical subunits connected by a single disulfide bond. This modified subunit tended to inhibit rather than stimulate insulin activity. A distinctive feature of the amino aci...
