Brefeldin A inhibits insulin-induced glucose transport stimulation and GLUT4 recruitment in rat adipocytes.

چکیده
GLUT4, the major insulin-responsive glucose transporter isoform in rat adipocytes, rapidly recycles between an intracellular pool and the plasma membrane in the basal and insulin-stimulated states. To gain insight into the route of this GLUT4 recycling, we studied the effects of brefeldin A (BFA) on glucose transport and glucose transporter subcellular distribution in rat adipocytes in the absence and in the presence of insulin. 3-O-Methyl-D-glucose equilibrium exchange measurements revealed that BFA inhibits insulin-stimulated glucose transport by as much as 80%, whereas the inactive BFA analog, B36, was without effect. The inhibition was reversible and was a saturable function of BFA concentration with an apparent Ki of less than 1 microM. In the absence of insulin, on the other hand, BFA caused a slight (up to 2-fold) increase in glucose transport. Subcellular fractionation and semiquantitative immunoblotting analysis revealed that BFA inhibits insulin-induced redistribution of GLUT4 from microsomes to the plasma membranes, with a dose dependence similar to that for glucose transport inhibition. BFA also caused a slight increase in the plasma membrane GLUT4 level in the absence of insulin. BFA did not affect the subcellular distribution of GLUT1 in these experiments. These findings strongly suggest that GLUT4 recycling in rat adipocytes involves a BFA-sensitive, coat protein-mediated, membrane-budding step, which is distinct between the constitutive and the insulin-induced pathways.

Actin filaments play a critical role in insulin-induced exocytotic recruitment but not in endocytosis of GLUT4 in isolated rat adipocytes.
Actin-based cytoskeletons have been implicated in insulin-stimulated glucose transport and translocation of the insulin-regulated glucose transporter, GLUT4, from the intracellular pool to the plasma membrane. However, most previous studies were done using adherent cell systems such as L6 myotubes and 3T3-L1 adipocytes, and very little information is available on the significance of the actin f...
متن کاملSubstrates of semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase co-operate with vanadate to stimulate tyrosine phosphorylation of insulin-receptor-substrate proteins, phosphoinositide 3-kinase activity and GLUT4 translocation in adipose cells.
It has been shown that the combination of benzylamine or tyramine and low concentrations of vanadate markedly stimulates glucose transport in rat adipocytes by a mechanism that requires semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO) activity and H(2)O(2) formation. Here we have further analysed the insulin-like effects of the combination of SSAO substrates and vanadate and we have studied the sig...
متن کاملFatty acid-induced insulin resistance in adipocytes.
Elevated serum-free fatty acid (FFA) levels induce insulin resistance in whole animals and humans. To understand the direct mechanism by which FFAs impact insulin-responsive tissue, we have used our previously developed in vitro model of long-chain saturated fatty acids (LCSFA)-induced insulin resistance in adipocytes. In addition to explanted rat adipocytes, we now demonstrate that overnight e...
متن کاملPlatelet-derived growth factor inhibits insulin stimulation of insulin receptor substrate-1-associated phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase in 3T3-L1 adipocytes without affecting glucose transport.
Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) activation is necessary for insulin-responsive glucose transporter (GLUT4) translocation and glucose transport. Insulin and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) stimulate PI3K activity in 3T3-L1 adipocytes, but only insulin is capable of stimulating GLUT4 translocation and glucose transport. We found that PDGF causes serine/threonine phosphorylation of insu...
متن کاملSpecialized sorting of GLUT4 and its recruitment to the cell surface are independently regulated by distinct Rabs
Adipocyte glucose uptake in response to insulin is essential for physiological glucose homeostasis: stimulation of adipocytes with insulin results in insertion of the glucose transporter GLUT4 into the plasma membrane and subsequent glucose uptake. Here we establish that RAB10 and RAB14 are key regulators of GLUT4 trafficking that function at independent, sequential steps of GLUT4 translocation...
