Background/Aims: Phosphatidylethanolamine, a component of the plasma membrane, regulates diverse cellular processes. The present study investigated the role of 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (DOPE) in the trafficking of the glucose transporter GLUT4 and the glucose homeostasis. Methods: Monitoring of GLUT4 trafficking, GLUT4 internalization assay, and glucose uptake assay were carried out using differentiated 3T3-L1-GLUT4myc adipocytes. Akt1/2 and PKC isozymes were knocked-down by transfecting each siRNA. Cell-free PKC assay and in situ PKCα assay with a FRET probe were carried out. Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was performed using BKS.Cg-+Lepdb/+Lebdb/Jcl mice, an animal model of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). Results: DOPE increased cell surface localization of the glucose transporter GLUT4 in differentiated 3T3-L1-GLUT4myc adipocytes, regardless of Akt activation. Likewise, PKCα deficiency increased cell surface localization of GLUT4, that occludes the effect of DOPE. DOPE clearly suppressed phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate-induced PKCα activation in the cell-free and in situ PKC assay. DOPE and PKCα deficiency cancelled endocytic internalization of GLUT4 localized on the plasma membrane after insulin stimulation. DOPE significantly enhanced glucose uptake into cells. A similar effect was obtained by knocking-down PKCα, that occludes the effect of DOPE. In OGTT, oral administration with DOPE effectively restricted an increase in the blood glucose levels after glucose loading in type 2 DM model mice. Conclusion: The results of the present study show that DOPE retains cell surface GLUT4 by suppressing PKCα-driven endocytic internalization of GLUT4, to enhance glucose uptake into cells and restrict an increase in the blood glucose levels after glucose loading in type 2 DM.

Endosomal System

Insulin stimulates glucose transport in fat and muscle cells by triggering exocytosis of the glucose transporter GLUT4. To define the intracellular trafficking of GLUT4, we have studied the internalization of an epitope-tagged version of GLUT4 from the cell surface. GLUT4 rapidly traversed the endosomal system en route to a perinuclear location. This perinuclear GLUT4 compartment did not colocalize with endosomal markers (endosomal antigen 1 protein, transferrin) or TGN38, but showed significant overlap with the TGN target (t)-solubleN-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptors (SNAREs) Syntaxins 6 and 16. These results were confirmed by vesicle immunoisolation. Consistent with a role for Syntaxins 6 and 16 in GLUT4 trafficking we found that their expression was up-regulated significantly during adipocyte differentiation and insulin stimulated their movement to the cell surface. GLUT4 trafficking between endosomes and trans-Golgi network was regulated via an acidic targeting motif in the carboxy terminus of GLUT4, because a mutant lacking this motif was retained in endosomes. We conclude that GLUT4 is rapidly transported from the cell surface to a subdomain of thetrans-Golgi network that is enriched in the t-SNAREs Syntaxins 6 and 16 and that an acidic targeting motif in the C-terminal tail of GLUT4 plays an important role in this process.

Surface Fusion

Insulin-stimulated glucose transport is a characteristic property of adipocytes and muscle cells and involves the regulated delivery of glucose transporter (GLUT4)-containing vesicles from intracellular stores to the cell surface. Fusion of these vesicles results in increased numbers of GLUT4 molecules at the cell surface. In an attempt to overcome some of the limitations associated with both primary and cultured adipocytes, we expressed an epitope- and GFP-tagged version of GLUT4 (HA–GLUT4–GFP) in HeLa cells. Here we report the characterisation of this system compared to 3T3-L1 adipocytes. We show that insulin promotes translocation of HA–GLUT4–GFP to the surface of both cell types with similar kinetics using orthologous trafficking machinery. While the magnitude of the insulin-stimulated translocation of GLUT4 is smaller than mouse 3T3-L1 adipocytes, HeLa cells offer a useful, experimentally tractable, human model system. Here, we exemplify their utility through a small-scale siRNA screen to identify GOSR1 and YKT6 as potential novel regulators of GLUT4 trafficking in human cells.

Glucose Transporter Glut4

Insulin increases glucose uptake into adipose tissue and muscle by increasing trafficking of the glucose transporter Glut4. In cultured adipocytes, the exocytosis of Glut4 relies on activation of the small G protein RalA by insulin, via inhibition of its GTPase activating complex RalGAP. Here, we evaluate the role of RalA in glucose uptake in vivo with specific chemical inhibitors and by generation of mice with adipocyte-specific knockout of RalGAPB. RalA was profoundly activated in brown adipose tissue after feeding, and its inhibition prevented Glut4 exocytosis. RalGAPB knockout mice with diet-induced obesity were protected from the development of metabolic disease due to increased glucose uptake into brown fat. Thus, RalA plays a crucial role in glucose transport in adipose tissue in vivo.

Introduction: The adaptive metabolic regulation of glucose and fatty acid in the heart plays a critical role in limiting cardiac damage caused by ischemia and reperfusion (I/R). TUG (tether containing a UBX domain, for GLUT4) can be cleaved to mobilize glucose transporter GLUT4 from intracellular vesicles to the cell surface in skeletal muscle and adipose in response to insulin stimulation. The energy sensor AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) plays an important cardioprotective role in response to ischemic insults by modulating GLUT4 translocation. Hypothesis: TUG is one of the downstream targets of AMPK in the heart. TUG could be phosphorylated by ischemic AMPK and cleaved to dissociate with GLUT4 and increase GLUT4 translocation in the ischemic heart. Methods: In vivo regional ischemia by ligation of left anterior coronary artery and ex vivo isolated mouse heart perfusion Langendorff system were used to test the hypothesis. Results: Antithrombin (AT) is an endogenous AMPK agonist in the heart and used to define the role of TUG in regulating GLUT4 trafficking during ischemia and reperfusion in the heart. AT showed its cardioprotective function through recovering cardiac pumping function and activating AMPK. The results showed that AMPK activation by AT treatment was through LKB1 and Sesn2 complex. Furthermore, the ex vivo heart perfusion data demonstrated that AT administration significantly increase GLUT4 translocation, glucose uptake, glycolysis and glucose oxidation during ischemia and reperfusion (p<0.05 vs . vehicle). Moreover, AT treatment increased abundance of a TUG cleavage product (42 KD) in response to I/R. The TUG protein was clearly phosphorylated by activated AMPK in HL-1 cardiomyocytes. The in vivo myocardial ischemia results demonstrated that ischemic AMPK activation triggers TUG cleavage and significantly increases GLUT4 translocation to the cell surface. Moreover, an augmented interaction between AMPK and TUG was observed during ischemia. Conclusions: Cardiac AMPK activation stimulates TUG cleavage and causes the dissociation between TUG and GLUT4 in the intracellular vesicles. TUG is a critical mediator that modulates cardiac GLUT4 translocation to cell surface and enhances glucose uptake by AMPK signaling pathway.

Abstract Insulin increases glucose uptake through translocation of the glucose transporter GLUT4 to the plasma membrane. We previously showed that insulin activates p38MAPK, and inhibitors of p38MAPKα and p38MAPKβ (e.g. SB203580) reduce insulin-stimulated glucose uptake without affecting GLUT4 translocation. This observation suggested that insulin may increase GLUT4 activity via p38α and/or p38β. Here we further explore the possible participation of p38MAPK through a combination of molecular strategies. SB203580 reduced insulin stimulation of glucose uptake in L6 myotubes overexpressing an SB203580-resistant p38α (drug-resistant p38α) but barely affected phosphorylation of the p38 substrate MAPK-activated protein kinase-2. Expression of dominant-negative p38α or p38β reduced p38MAPK phosphorylation by 70% but had no effect on insulin-stimulated glucose uptake. Gene silencing via isoform-specific small interfering RNAs reduced expression of p38α or p38β by 60–70% without diminishing insulin-stimulated glucose uptake. SB203580 reduced photoaffinity labeling of GLUT4 by bio-LC-ATB-BMPA only in the insulin-stimulated state. Unless low levels of p38MAPK suffice to regulate glucose uptake, these results suggest that the inhibition of insulin-stimulated glucose transport by SB203580 is likely not mediated by p38MAPK. Instead, changes experienced by insulin-stimulated GLUT4 make it susceptible to inhibition by SB203580.

Glucose Transporter Glut4

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. RAB14 functions upstream of RAB10 in the sorting of GLUT4 to the specialized transport vesicles that ferry GLUT4 to the plasma membrane. RAB10 and its GTPase-activating protein (GAP) AS160 comprise the principal signaling module downstream of insulin receptor activation that regulates the accumulation of GLUT4 transport vesicles at the plasma membrane. Although both RAB10 and RAB14 are regulated by the GAP activity of AS160 in vitro, only RAB10 is under the control of AS160 in vivo. Insulin regulation of the pool of RAB10 required for GLUT4 translocation occurs through regulation of AS160, since activation of RAB10 by DENND4C, its GTP exchange factor, does not require insulin stimulation.

Glucose uptake into brown adipose tissue has been shown to be enhanced directly by noradrenaline (norepinephrine) released from sympathetic nerves. In this study we characterized the glucose transport system in cultured brown adipocytes, which responds to noradrenaline as well as insulin, and analysed the mechanism underlying the noradrenaline-induced increase in glucose transport. Insulin increased 2-deoxyglucose (dGlc) uptake progressively at concentrations from 10-11 to 10-6 M, with maximal stimulation at 10-7 M. Noradrenaline concentrations ranging from 10-8 to 10-6 M also enhanced dGlc uptake, even in the absence of insulin. The effects of noradrenaline and insulin on dGlc uptake were additive. The stimulatory effect of noradrenaline was mimicked by the β3-adrenergic agonist, BRL37344, at concentrations two orders lower than noradrenaline. Dibutyryl cyclic AMP also mimicked the stimulatory effect of noradrenaline, and the antagonist of cyclic AMP, cyclic AMP-S Rp-isomer, blocked the enhancement of glucose uptake due to noradrenaline. Furthermore Western blot analysis with an anti-phosphotyrosine antibody revealed that, in contrast with insulin, noradrenaline apparently does not stimulate intracellular phosphorylation of tyrosine, suggesting that the noradrenaline-induced increase in dGlc uptake depends on elevation of the intracellular cyclic AMP level and not on the signal chain common to insulin. When cells were incubated with insulin, the content of the muscle/adipocyte type of glucose transporter (GLUT4) in the plasma membrane increased, with a corresponding decrease in the amount in the microsomal membrane. In contrast, noradrenaline did not affect the subcellular distribution of GLUT4 or that of the HepG2/erythrocyte type of glucose transporter. Although insulin increased Vmax. and decreased the Km value for glucose uptake, the effect of noradrenaline was restricted to a pronounced decrease in Km. These results suggest that the mechanism by which noradrenaline stimulates glucose transport into brown adipocytes is not due to translocation of GLUT but is probably due to an increase in the intrinsic activity of GLUT, which is mediated by a cyclic AMP-dependent pathway.

Novel Approach

Glucose uptake in the heart is mediated by specific glucose transporters (GLUTs) present on cardiomyocyte cell surface membranes. Metabolic stress and insulin both increase glucose transport by stimulating the translocation of glucose transporters from intracellular storage vesicles to the cell surface. Isolated perfused transgenic mouse hearts are commonly used to investigate the molecular regulation of heart metabolism; however, current methods to quantify cell surface glucose transporter content in intact mouse hearts are limited. Therefore, we developed a novel technique to directly assess the cell surface content of the cardiomyocyte glucose transporter GLUT4 in perfused mouse hearts, using a cell surface impermeant biotinylated bis-glucose photolabeling reagent (bio-LC-ATB-BGPA). Bio-LC-ATB-BGPA was infused through the aorta and cross-linked to cell surface GLUTs. Bio-LC-ATB-BGPA-labeled GLUT4 was recovered from cardiac membranes by streptavidin isolation and quantified by immunoblotting. Bio-LC-ATB-BGPA-labeling of GLUT4 was saturable and competitively inhibited by d-glucose. Stimulation of glucose uptake by insulin in the perfused heart was associated with parallel increases in bio-LC-ATB-BGPA-labeling of cell surface GLUT4. Bio-LC-ATB-BGPA also labeled cell surface GLUT1 in the perfused heart. Thus, photolabeling provides a novel approach to assess cell surface glucose transporter content in the isolated perfused mouse heart and may prove useful to investigate the mechanisms through which insulin, ischemia, and other stimuli regulate glucose metabolism in the heart and other perfused organs.
