Insulin Signalling Pathway

This study investigated the effects of vitamins D and E on an insulin-resistant model and hypothesized that this treatment would reverse the effects of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and improves insulin signalling. An insulin-resistant model was induced in SK-N-SH neuronal cells with a treatment of 250 nM insulin and re-challenged with 100 nM at two different incubation time (16 h and 24 h). The effects of vitamin D (10 and 20 ng/mL), vitamin E in the form of tocotrienol-rich fraction (TRF) (200 ng/mL) and the combination of vitamins D and E on insulin signalling markers (IR, PI3K, GLUT3, GLUT4, and p-AKT), glucose uptake and AD markers (GSK3β and TAU) were determined using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The results demonstrated an improvement of the insulin signalling pathway upon treatment with vitamin D alone, with significant increases in IR, PI3K, GLUT3, GLUT4 expression levels, as well as AKT phosphorylation and glucose uptake, while GSK3β and TAU expression levels was decreased significantly. On the contrary, vitamin E alone, increased p-AKT, reduced the ROS as well as GSK3β and TAU but had no effect on the insulin signalling expression levels. The combination of vitamins D and E only showed significant increase in GLUT4, p-AKT, reduced ROS as well as GSK3β and TAU. Thus, the universal role of vitamin D, E alone and in combinations could be the potential nutritional agents in restoring the sensitivity of neuronal cells towards insulin and delaying the pathophysiological progression of AD.

There is accumulating evidence that insulin has a physiological role to vasodilate skeletal muscle vasculature in humans. This effect occurs in a dose-dependent fashion within a half-maximal response of approximately 40 microU/ml. This vasodilating action is impaired in states of insulin resistance such as obesity, non-insulin-dependent diabetes, and elevated blood pressure. The precise physiological role of insulin-mediated vasodilation is not known. Data indicate that the degree of skeletal muscle perfusion can be an important determinant of insulin-mediated glucose uptake. Therefore, it is possible that insulin-mediated vasodilation is an integral aspect of insulin's overall action to stimulate glucose uptake; thus defective vasodilation could potentially contribute to insulin resistance. In addition, insulin-mediated vasodilation may play a role in the regulation of vascular tone. Data are provided to indicate that the pressor response to systemic norepinephrine infusions is increased in obese insulin-resistant subjects. Moreover, the normal effect of insulin to shift the norepinephrine pressor dose-response curve to the right is impaired in these patients. Therefore, impaired insulin-mediated vasodilation could further contribute to the increased prevalence of hypertension observed in states of insulin resistance. Finally, data are presented to indicate that, via a yet unknown interaction with the endothelium, insulin is able to increase nitric oxide synthesis and release and through this mechanism vasodilate. It is interesting to speculate that states of insulin resistance might also be associated with a defect in insulin's action to modulate the nitric oxide system.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

SUMMARY Sulfonylurea drugs are used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. The mechanism of action of sulfonylureas is to release insulin from pancreatic cells and they have been proposed to act on insulin-sensitive tissues to enhance glucose uptake. The goal of the present study was to test the hypothesis that gliclazide, a second-generation sulfonylurea, could enhance insulin signaling in insulin-resistant skeletal muscle cells. We demonstrated that gliclazide enhanced insulin-stimulated insulin receptor tyrosine phosphorylation in insulin-resistant skeletal muscle cells. Although insulin receptor substrate-1 tyrosine phosphorylation was unaffected by gliclazide treatment, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activity was partially restored by treatment with gliclazide. No increase in 2-deoxyglucose uptake in insulin-resistant cells by treatment with gliclazide was observed. Further investigations into the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway revealed that insulin-stimulated p38 phosphorylation was impaired, as compared with extracellular-signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and c-Jun N-terminal kinase(JNK), which were phosphorylated normally in insulin-resistant cells. Treatment with gliclazide could not restore p38 phosphorylation in insulin-resistant cells. We propose that gliclazide can regulate part of the insulin signaling in insulin-resistant skeletal muscle, and p38 could be a potential therapeutic target for glucose uptake to treat insulin resistance.

Postexercise Recovery

It is not generally known whether impaired stimulation of muscle glucose metabolism in insulin-resistant states is specific to insulin stimulation. Our aim was to examine whether glucose uptake responded normally to exercise and postexercise recovery in insulin-resistant high-fat-fed (HFF) rats. Three-week HFF or Chow-fed [control (Con)] adult rats were studied 5 days after cannulation. Before, during, or immediately after (recovery) 50 min of treadmill exercise, bolus 2-deoxy-[3H]glucose and [14C]glucose were administered to estimate muscle glucose uptake (R'g) and glycogen incorporation rates. Mean exercise and recovery plasma glucose levels were similar in HFF and Con rats. In hindlimb muscles sampled, exercise and recovery R'g were similar in HFF and Con (e.g., red quadriceps exercise 104 +/- 13 vs. 113 +/- 8, recovery 45.3 +/- 3.9 vs. 47.7 +/- 4.5 mumol.100 g-1.min-1, respectively). Moreover, muscle glucose transporter (GLUT-4) content was not reduced in HFF rats. Glycogen resynthesis accounted almost entirely for R'g during recovery and was equivalent between groups. We conclude that impaired muscle glucose uptake and glycogen synthesis in HFF rats are characteristic of insulin but not of exercise or postexercise stimulation.

In addition to suppressing appetite, leptin may also modulate insulin secretion and action. Leptin was administered here to insulin-resistant rats to determine its effects on secretagogue-stimulated insulin release, whole body glucose disposal, and insulin-stimulated skeletal muscle glucose uptake and transport. Male Wistar rats were fed either a normal (Con) or a high-fat (HF) diet for 3 or 6 mo. HF rats were then treated with either vehicle (HF), leptin (HF-Lep, 10 mg · kg−1 · day−1 sc), or food restriction (HF-FR) for 12–15 days. Glucose tolerance and skeletal muscle glucose uptake and transport were significantly impaired in HF compared with Con. Whole body glucose tolerance and rates of insulin-stimulated skeletal muscle glucose uptake and transport in HF-Lep were similar to those of Con and greater than those of HF and HF-FR. The insulin secretory response to either glucose or tolbutamide (a pancreatic β-cell secretagogue) was not significantly diminished in HF-Lep. Total and plasma membrane skeletal muscle GLUT-4 protein concentrations were similar in Con and HF-Lep and greater than those in HF and HF-FR. The findings suggest that chronic leptin administration reversed a high-fat diet-induced insulin-resistant state, without compromising insulin secretion.

Little information exists in humans on the regulation that oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) exerts on adipocyte metabolism, which is associated with obesity and type 2 diabetes. The aim was to analyze the oxLDL effects on adipocytokine secretion and scavenger receptors (SRs) and cell death markers in human visceral adipocytes. Human differentiated adipocytes from visceral adipose tissue from non-obese and morbidly obese subjects were incubated with increasing oxLDL concentrations. mRNA expression of SRs, markers of apoptosis and autophagy, secretion of adipocytokines, and glucose uptake were analyzed. In non-obese and in morbidly obese subjects, oxLDL produced a decrease in insulin-induced glucose uptake, a significant dose-dependent increase in tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), IL-6, and adiponectin secretion, and a decrease in leptin secretion. OxLDL produced a significant increase of Lox-1 and a decrease in Cxcl16 and Cl-p1 expression. The expression of Bnip3 (marker of apoptosis, necrosis and autophagy) was significantly increased and Bcl2 (antiapoptotic marker) was decreased. OxLDL could sensitize adipocytes to a lower insulin-induced glucose uptake, a more proinflammatory phenotype, and could modify the gene expression involved in apoptosis, autophagy, necrosis, and mitophagy. OxLDL can upregulate Lox-1, and this could lead to a possible amplification of proinflammatory and proapoptotic effects of oxLDL.

Consumption of a Western diet rich in saturated fats is associated with obesity and insulin resistance. In some insulin-resistant phenotypes this is associated with accumulation of skeletal muscle fatty acids. We examined the effects of diets high in saturated fatty acids (Sat) or n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) on skeletal muscle fatty acid metabolite accumulation and whole-body insulin sensitivity. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed a chow diet (16% calories from fat, Con) or a diet high (53%) in Sat or PUFA for 8 wk. Insulin sensitivity was assessed by fasting plasma glucose and insulin and glucose tolerance via an oral glucose tolerance test. Muscle ceramide and diacylglycerol (DAG) levels and triacylglycerol (TAG) fatty acids were also measured. Both high-fat diets increased plasma free fatty acid levels by 30%. Compared with Con, Sat-fed rats were insulin resistant, whereas PUFA-treated rats showed improved insulin sensitivity. Sat caused a 125% increase in muscle DAG and a small increase in TAG. Although PUFA also resulted in a small increase in DAG, the excess fatty acids were primarily directed toward TAG storage (105% above Con). Ceramide content was unaffected by either high-fat diet. To examine the effects of fatty acids on cellular lipid storage and glucose uptake in vitro, rat L6 myotubes were incubated for 5 h with saturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids. After treatment of L6 myotubes with palmitate (C16:0), the ceramide and DAG content were increased by two- and fivefold, respectively, concomitant with reduced insulin-stimulated glucose uptake. In contrast, treatment of these cells with linoleate (C18:2) did not alter DAG, ceramide levels, and glucose uptake compared with controls (no added fatty acids). Both 16:0 and 18:2 treatments increased myotube TAG levels (C18:2 vs. C16:0, P < 0.05). These results indicate that increasing dietary Sat induces insulin resistance with concomitant increases in muscle DAG. Diets rich in n-6 PUFA appear to prevent insulin resistance by directing fat into TAG, rather than other lipid metabolites.

During exercise, obese individuals oxidize less glycogen and more fat than their lean counterparts, but the shift in substrate use may be mediated by insulin resistance rather than body fat per se. In addition, individuals with Type 2 diabetes are not resistant to contraction-mediated glucose uptake during exercise, but in vivo studies uncomplicated by hyperglycemia are lacking. The purpose of this study was to compare blood glucose uptake and the balance between carbohydrate and fat utilization during exercise in insulin-resistant (IR) and insulin-sensitive (IS) women of equivalent body fatness and maximal oxygen consumption (V̇o2 max). Twelve overweight sedentary women were divided into two groups with similar body mass index (IR = 28.5 ± 1.6, IS = 27.5 ± 1.9), lean mass (IR = 42.4 ± 1.8 kg, IS = 41.5 ± 1.9 kg), and V̇o2 max (IR = 29.7 ± 3.5 ml·kg−1·min−1, IS = 30.7 ± 3.9 ml·kg−1·min−1) but a markedly different composite insulin sensitivity index (IR = 3.0 ± 0.7, IS = 7.7 ± 0.9). Blood glucose kinetics and substrate oxidation were assessed by stable isotope dilution and indirect calorimetry during 50 min of treadmill walking at 45% V̇o2 max. Total carbohydrate oxidation and estimated muscle glycogen use were significantly lower in the IR group. Blood glucose uptake was the same in the IR and IS groups. These data suggest that insulin resistance, independent of body fat, spares muscle glycogen and shifts substrate oxidation toward less carbohydrate use during exercise. Insulin-resistant individuals with normoglycemia appear to have no defect in blood glucose uptake during exercise.
