Involvement of hormone processing in insulin-activated glucose transport by isolated cardiac myocytes.

ABSTRACT: Isolated muscle cells from adult rat heart were used to study the relationship between myocardial insulin processing and insulin action on 3-O-methylglucose transport at 37 degrees C. Internalization of the hormone as measured by determination of the non-dissociable fraction of cell-bound insulin increased linearly up to 10 min, reaching a plateau by 30-60 min at 3 nM-insulin. At this hormone concentration the onset of insulin action was found to be biphasic, with a rapid phase up to 8 min, followed by a much slower phase, reaching maximal insulin action by 30-60 min. Insulin internalization was totally blocked by phenylarsine oxide, whereas dansylcadaverine had no effect on this process. Initial insulin action (5 min) on glucose transport was not affected by chloroquine and dansylcadaverine, but was completely abolished by treatment of cardiocytes with phenylarsine oxide. This drug effect was partly prevented by the presence of 2,3-dimercaptopropanol. Under steady-state conditions (60 min), the stimulatory action of insulin was decreased by about 60% by both chloroquine and dansylcadaverine. This study, demonstrates that insulin action on cardiac glucose transport is mediated by processing of the hormone. The data suggest dual pathways of insulin action involving initial processing of hormone-receptor complexes and lysosomal degradation.

G-protein-mediated regulation of the insulin-responsive glucose transporter in isolated cardiac myocytes.

Project description:Isolated muscle cells from adult rat heart were used to study the involvement of G-proteins in the regulation of the glucose transporter by insulin and isoprenaline. Efficient modification of G-protein functions was established by measuring isoprenaline-stimulated cyclic AMP production, viability and ATP content after treating the cells with cholera toxin and pertussis toxin for 2 h. Under these conditions cholera toxin decreased the stimulatory action of insulin on 3-O-methylglucose transport by 56%, but pertussis toxin had no effect. Basal transport was not affected by toxin treatment. Isoprenaline increased 3-O-methylglucose transport by 63%. This effect was not mimicked by dibutyryl cyclic AMP, but was completely blocked by cholera toxin. Streptozotocin-diabetes abolished isoprenaline action and decreased stimulation of transport by 64%. Concomitantly, cholera-toxin sensitivity of glucose transport was lost in cells from diabetic animals. This was paralleled by a large decrease (87 +/- 4%) in mRNA expression of the insulin-regulatable glucose transporter, as shown by Northern-blot analysis of RNA isolated from cardiomyocytes of diabetic rats. These data suggest a functional association between the insulin-responsive glucose transporter and a cholera-toxin-sensitive G-protein mediating stimulation by insulin and isoprenaline.

Hormone-stimulated lipolysis in cardiac myocytes.

Project description:Type L hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) activity was increased approx. 35% above control in cardiac myocytes incubated for 15 min with 5 nM-adrenaline. Concomitantly. adrenaline-stimulated myocytes had a lower triacylglycerol content, released more non-esterified fatty acid and had a higher intracellular concentration of cyclic AMP than did myocytes incubated without hormone. The lipase activity measured in adrenaline-stimulated and non-stimulated myocytes was stable in acetone/diethyl ether, stimulated by serum and inhibited by NaCl. These properties are consistent with the type L designation of this HSL. The finding that type L HSL is stimulated by adrenaline indicates that the enzyme that is being activated is found in the cell and not associated with an extracellular compartment of the myocardium.

Catecholamine-induced insulin resistance of glucose transport in isolated rat adipocytes.

Project description:The effects of pre-incubation with isoprenaline and noradrenaline on insulin binding and insulin stimulation of D-glucose transport in isolated rat adipocytes are reported. (1) Pre-incubation of the cells with isoprenaline (0.1-10 microM) in Krebs-Ringer-Hepes [4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazine-ethanesulphonic acid] buffer (30 min, 37 degrees C) at D-glucose concentrations of 16 mM, in which normal ATP levels were maintained, caused a rightward-shift in sensitivity of D-glucose transport to insulin stimulation by 50% and a decrease in maximal responsiveness by 30% (2) [A14-125I]insulin binding was reduced significantly by 35% at insulin concentrations less than 100 mu-units/ml and Scatchard analysis showed that this consisted mainly of a decrease in high-affinity binding. (3) Pre-incubation with catecholamines under the same conditions but at low glucose concentrations (0-5 mM) caused a fall in intracellular ATP levels of 65 and 45% respectively. (4) The fall in ATP additionally lowered insulin binding by 50% at all insulin concentrations and a parallel shift of the binding curves in the Scatchard plot showed that this was due to a decrease in the number of receptors. (5) At low and high ATP concentrations the insulin stimulation of D-glucose transport was inhibited to a similar extent. (6) Pre-incubation with catecholamines thus inhibited insulin stimulation of D-glucose transport in rat adipocytes mainly by a decrease in high-affinity binding of insulin, which was not mediated by low ATP levels. This mechanism may play a role in the pathogenesis of catecholamine-induced insulin resistance in vivo.

RyR2 modulates a Ca2+-activated K+ current in mouse cardiac myocytes.

Project description:In cardiomyocytes, Ca2+ entry through voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels (VDCCs) binds to and activates RyR2 channels, resulting in subsequent Ca2+ release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) and cardiac contraction. Previous research has documented the molecular coupling of small-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channels (SK channels) to VDCCs in mouse cardiac muscle. Little is known regarding the role of RyRs-sensitive Ca2+ release in the SK channels in cardiac muscle. In this study, using whole-cell patch clamp techniques, we observed that a Ca2+-activated K+ current (IK,Ca) recorded from isolated adult C57B/L mouse atrial myocytes was significantly decreased by ryanodine, an inhibitor of ryanodine receptor type 2 (RyR2), or by the co-application of ryanodine and thapsigargin, an inhibitor of the sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase (SERCA) (p<0.05, p<0.01, respectively). The activation of RyR2 by caffeine increased the IK,Ca in the cardiac cells (p<0.05, p<0.01, respectively). We further analyzed the effect of RyR2 knockdown on IK,Ca and Ca2+ in isolated adult mouse cardiomyocytes using a whole-cell patch clamp technique and confocal imaging. RyR2 knockdown in mouse atrial cells transduced with lentivirus-mediated small hairpin interference RNA (shRNA) exhibited a significant decrease in IK,Ca (p<0.05) and [Ca2+]i fluorescence intensity (p<0.01). An immunoprecipitated complex of SK2 and RyR2 was identified in native cardiac tissue by co-immunoprecipitation assays. Our findings indicate that RyR2-mediated Ca2+ release is responsible for the activation and modulation of SK channels in cardiac myocytes.

Translocation of the brain-type glucose transporter largely accounts for insulin stimulation of glucose transport in BC3H-1 myocytes.

Project description:Insulin-stimulated glucose transport was examined in BC3H-1 myocytes. Insulin treatment lead to a 2.7 +/- 0.3-fold increase in the rate of deoxyglucose transport and, under the same conditions, a 2.1 +/- 0.1-fold increase in the amount of the brain-type glucose transporter (GLUT 1) at the cell surface. It has been shown that some insulin-responsive tissues express a second, immunologically distinct, transporter, namely GLUT 4. We report here that BC3H-1 myocytes and C2 and G8 myotubes express only GLUT 1; in contrast, rat soleus muscle and heart express 3-4 times higher levels of GLUT 4 than GLUT 1. Thus translocation of GLUT 1 can account for most, if not all, of the insulin stimulation of glucose transport in BC3H-1 myocytes. On the other, hand, neither BC3H-1 myocytes nor the other muscle-cell lines are adequate as models for the study of insulin regulation of glucose transport in muscle tissue.

Dissection of stress-activated glucose transport from insulin-induced glucose transport in mammalian cells using wortmannin and ML-9.

Project description:The signaling pathways responsible for the activation of glucose transport by insulin and by metabolic stress in mammalian cells were studied in Clone 9 cells and 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Exposure of both cell types to azide or insulin markedly increased their glucose uptake capacity (Vmax.) without affecting their apparent affinity for glucose (Km). The effects of azide and insulin were not additive. Wortmannin, a selective inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase, did not affect stimulation of transport by azide but inhibited insulin-induced glucose transport with a Ki of < 10 nM. ML-9, a putative mitogen-activated protein kinase inhibitor, was equipotent in its inhibition of azide- and insulin-stimulated glucose transport. These findings suggest that multiple signalling cascades are involved in the stimulation of glucose transport in mammalian cells and that PI 3-kinase, an essential link in the pathway by which insulin stimulates glucose transport, is not necessary for the activation of glucose uptake by metabolic stress.

Doxycycline decreases amyloidogenic light chain-induced autophagy in isolated primary cardiac myocytes.

Project description:BackgroundImmunoglobulin light chain (AL) cardiac amyloidosis is characterized by extracellular deposition of amyloid fibrils in the heart and is potentially fatal. Untreated, it manifests clinically as heart failure with a precipitous decline and a median survival of <6 months. AL cardiac amyloidosis is associated with impaired extracellular matrix homeostasis in the heart with increased matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) levels. This commmunication provides novel insights into a potential role for doxycycline, a non-selective MMP inhibitor in AL cardiac amyloidosis.Methods/resultsAdult rat ventricular myocytes stimulated with AL (obtained from cardiac amyloidosis patients) increased MMP-2 and MMP-9 activities (P < .05); the expression of autophagy marker microtubule associated protein 1 LC-3 isoform II (LC3-II) (P < .01), and the autophagy-related proteins ATG-4B (P < .05) and ATG-5 (P < .05) as compared to untreated cardiomyocytes. Doxycycline abrogated MMP activities (P < .0001) and decreased AL-induced autophagy via ATG-5 (P < .05).ConclusionsThese in vitro studies demonstrated that doxycycline, in addition to inhibiting MMP, also modulated AL-induced autophagy in cardiomyocytes and provide potential insights for future therapeutic targets for AL-induced proteotoxicity. Novel therapies for cardiotoxicity and heart failure in AL cardiac amyloidosis remain an important unmet need.

Insulin action on the glucose transport system in isolated cardiocytes from adult rat.

Project description:Calcium-tolerant myocytes from the adult rat heart were used to study the effects of insulin on the kinetics of myocardial 3-0-methylglucose transport at 37 degrees C. Insulin increased the initial velocity of sugar influx without affecting the equilibrium uptake values. Maximal stimulation averaged 50-80%, with a half-maximal response at an insulin concentration of 0.1 nM and maximal stimulation occurring at 1 nM. The onset of insulin action was preceded by a lag-phase of 20 s, reaching maximal action by 60 s. The Vmax. of the glucose transport system was increased from 160 to 287 nmol/min per 10(6) cells with an unaltered affinity. Neither extracellular nor intracellular calcium was found to be involved in the stimulatory action of insulin. Removal of intracellular magnesium resulted in a loss of insulin action. This study demonstrates that activation of the cardiac glucose transporter by insulin is due exclusively to an increase in the maximal velocity representing one of the very early effects of insulin on myocardial metabolism. The data suggest involvement of magnesium in the transmission of the insulin signal.

Hexokinase-mitochondrial interactions regulate glucose metabolism differentially in adult and neonatal cardiac myocytes.

Project description:In mammalian tumor cell lines, localization of hexokinase (HK) isoforms to the cytoplasm or mitochondria has been shown to control their anabolic (glycogen synthesis) and catabolic (glycolysis) activities. In this study, we examined whether HK isoform differences could explain the markedly different metabolic profiles between normal adult and neonatal cardiac tissue. We used a set of novel genetically encoded optical imaging tools to track, in real-time in isolated adult (ARVM) and neonatal (NRVM) rat ventricular myocytes, the subcellular distributions of HKI and HKII, and the functional consequences on glucose utilization. We show that HKII, the predominant isoform in ARVM, dynamically translocates from mitochondria and cytoplasm in response to removal of extracellular glucose or addition of iodoacetate (IAA). In contrast, HKI, the predominant isoform in NRVM, is only bound to mitochondria and is not displaced by the above interventions. In ARVM, overexpression of HKI, but not HKII, increased glycolytic activity. In neonatal rat ventricular myocytes (NVRM), knockdown of HKI, but not HKII, decreased glycolytic activity. In conclusion, differential interactions of HKI and HKII with mitochondria underlie the different metabolic profiles of ARVM and NRVM, accounting for the markedly increased glycolytic activity of NRVM.

Insulin Protects Cardiac Myocytes from Doxorubicin Toxicity by Sp1-Mediated Transactivation of Survivin.

Project description:Insulin inhibits ischemia/reperfusion-induced myocardial apoptosis through the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway. Survivin is a key regulator of anti-apoptosis against doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity. Insulin increases survivin expression in cardiac myocytes to mediate cytoprotection. However, the mechanism by which survivin mediates the protective effect of insulin against doxorubicin-associated injury remains to be determined. In this study, we demonstrated that pretreatment of H9c2 cardiac myocytes with insulin resulted in a significant decrease in doxorubicin-induced apoptotic cell death by reducing cytochrome c release and caspase-3 activation. Doxorubicin-induced reduction of survivin mRNA and protein levels was also significantly perturbed by insulin pretreatment. Reducing survivin expression with survivin siRNA abrogated insulin-mediated inhibition of caspase-3 activation, suggesting that insulin signals to survivin inhibited caspase-3 activation. Interestingly, pretreatment of H9c2 cells with insulin or MG132, a proteasome inhibitor, inhibited doxorubicin-induced degradation of the transcription factor Sp1. ChIP assay showed that pretreatment with insulin inhibited doxorubicin-stimulated Sp1 dissociation from the survivin promoter. Finally using pharmacological inhibitors of the PI3K pathway, we showed that insulin-mediated activation of the PI3K/Akt/mTORC1 pathway prevented doxorubicin-induced proteasome-mediated degradation of Sp1. Taken together, insulin pretreatment confers a protective effect against doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity by promoting Sp1-mediated transactivation of survivin to inhibit apoptosis. Our study is the first to define a role for survivin in cellular protection by insulin against doxorubicin-associated injury and show that Sp1 is a critical factor in the transcriptional regulation of survivin.
