Interactions among glucose delivery, transport, and phosphorylation that underlie skeletal muscle insulin resistance in obesity and type 2 Diabetes: studies with dynamic PET imaging.

ABSTRACT: Dynamic positron emission tomography (PET) imaging was performed using sequential tracer injections ([(15)O]H2O, [(11)C]3-O-methylglucose [3-OMG], and [(18)F]fluorodeoxyglucose [FDG]) to quantify, respectively, skeletal muscle tissue perfusion (glucose delivery), kinetics of bidirectional glucose transport, and glucose phosphorylation to interrogate the individual contribution and interaction among these steps in muscle insulin resistance (IR) in type 2 diabetes (T2D). PET imaging was performed in normal weight nondiabetic subjects (NW) (n = 5), obese nondiabetic subjects (OB) (n = 6), and obese subjects with T2D (n = 7) during fasting conditions and separately during a 6-h euglycemic insulin infusion at 40 mU · m(-2) · min(-1). Tissue tracer activities were derived specifically within the soleus muscle with PET images and magnetic resonance imaging. During fasting, NW, OB, and T2D subjects had similar [(11)C]3-OMG and [(18)F]FDG uptake despite group differences for tissue perfusion. During insulin-stimulated conditions, IR was clearly evident in T2D (P < 0.01), and [(18)F]FDG uptake by muscle was inversely correlated with systemic IR (P < 0.001). The increase in insulin-stimulated glucose transport was less (P < 0.01) in T2D (twofold) than in NW (sevenfold) or OB (sixfold) subjects. The fractional phosphorylation of [(18)F]FDG during insulin infusion was also significantly lower in T2D (P < 0.01). Dynamic triple-tracer PET imaging indicates that skeletal muscle IR in T2D involves a severe impairment of glucose transport and additional impairment in the efficiency of glucose phosphorylation.

Project description:The cellular mechanisms whereby prior exercise enhances insulin-stimulated glucose transport (GT) are not well understood. Previous studies suggested that a prolonged increase in phosphorylation of Akt substrate of 160 kDa (AS160) may be important for the postexercise increase in insulin sensitivity. In the current study, the effects of in vivo exercise and in vitro contraction on subsequent insulin-stimulated GT were studied separately and together. Consistent with results from previous studies, prior exercise resulted in an increase in AS160 (642)Thr phosphorylation immediately after exercise in rat epitrochlearis muscles, and this increase remained 3 h postexercise concomitant with enhanced insulin-stimulated GT. For experiments with in vitro contraction, isolated rat epitrochlearis muscles were electrically stimulated to contract in the presence or absence of rat serum. As expected, insulin-stimulated GT measured 3 h after electrical stimulation in serum, but not after electrical stimulation without serum, exceeded resting controls. Immediately after electrical stimulation with or without serum, phosphorylation of both AS160 (detected by phospho-Akt substrate, PAS, antibody, or phospho-(642)Thr antibody) and its paralog TBC1D1 (detected by phospho-(237)Ser antibody) was increased. However, both AS160 and TBC1D1 phosphorylation had reversed to resting values at 3 h poststimulation with or without serum. Increasing the amount of exercise (from 1 to 2 h) or electrical stimulation (from 5 to 10 tetani) did not further elevate insulin-stimulated GT. In contrast, the combination of prior exercise and electrical stimulation had an additive effect on the subsequent increase in insulin-stimulated GT, suggesting that these exercise and electrical stimulation protocols may amplify insulin-stimulated GT through distinct mechanisms, with a persistent increase in AS160 phosphorylation potentially important for increased insulin sensitivity after exercise, but not after in vitro contraction.
