The TC10-interacting protein CIP4/2 is required for insulin-stimulated Glut4 translocation in 3T3L1 adipocytes.

ABSTRACT: The GTPase TC10 plays a critical role in insulin-stimulated glucose transport. We report here the identification of the TC10-interacting protein CIP4/2 (Cdc42-interacting protein 4/2) as an effector in this pathway. CIP4/2 localizes to an intracellular compartment under basal conditions and translocates to the plasma membrane on insulin stimulation. Overexpression of constitutively active TC10 brings CIP4/2 to the plasma membrane, whereas overexpression of an inhibitory form of TC10 blocks the translocation of CIP4/2 produced by insulin. Overexpression of mutant forms of CIP4/2 containing an N-terminal deletion or with diminished TC10 binding inhibits insulin-stimulated Glut4 translocation. These data suggest that CIP4/2 may play an important role in insulin-stimulated glucose transport as a downstream effector of TC10.

Project description:ObjectiveRecent studies indicate that brown adipose tissue, in addition to its role in thermogenesis, has a role in the regulation of whole-body metabolism. Here we characterize the metabolic effects of deleting Rab10, a protein key for insulin stimulation of glucose uptake into white adipocytes, solely from brown adipocytes.MethodsWe used a murine brown adipocyte cell line and stromal vascular fraction-derived in vitro differentiated brown adipocytes to study the role of Rab10 in insulin-stimulated GLUT4 translocation to the plasma membrane and insulin-stimulated glucose uptake. We generated a brown adipocyte-specific Rab10 knockout for in vivo studies of metabolism and thermoregulation.ResultsWe demonstrate that deletion of Rab10 from brown adipocytes results in a two-fold reduction of insulin-stimulated glucose transport by reducing translocation of the GLUT4 glucose transporter to the plasma membrane, an effect linked to whole-body glucose intolerance and insulin resistance in female mice. This effect on metabolism is independent of the thermogenic function of brown adipocytes, thereby revealing a metabolism-specific role for brown adipocytes in female mice. The reduced glucose uptake induced by Rab10 deletion disrupts ChREBP regulation of de novo lipogenesis (DNL) genes, providing a potential link between DNL in brown adipocytes and whole-body metabolic regulation in female mice. However, deletion of Rab10 from male mice does not induce systemic insulin resistance, although ChREBP regulation is disrupted.ConclusionsOur studies of Rab10 reveal the role of insulin-regulated glucose transport into brown adipocytes in whole-body metabolic homeostasis of female mice. Importantly, the contribution of brown adipocytes to whole-body metabolic regulation is independent of its role in thermogenesis. It is unclear whether the whole-body metabolic sexual dimorphism is because female mice are permissive to the effects of Rab10 deletion from brown adipocytes or because male mice are resistant to the effect.
