Abstract Glucose plays an important role in fetal development and energy metabolism. Facilitative glucose transporter-1 (GLUT1) has been found in placenta. However, little is known about GLUT1 modulation in placental cells. To examine changes in mouse placental GLUT1 levels caused by 8-bromo-cAMP, we performed 2-deoxyglucose uptake experiments, Northern blot analysis and immunoblot analysis using a primary mouse placental cell culture. Immunohistochemical analysis showed that GLUT1 was localized to the ectoplacental cone and the labyrinth zone of mouse placentas on days 7 and 11 of pregnancy respectively. Treatment of mouse placental cells with 250 μmol/l 8-bromo-cAMP resulted in a significant (P<0·01) decrease in glucose uptake on days 2–5 of culture. The inhibitory effect of 8-bromo-cAMP on glucose uptake was concentration-dependent. Glucose uptake was also inhibited by 100 μg/l cholera toxin and by 0·1 mmol/l forskolin. Northern blot and immunoblot analysis revealed that both GLUT1 mRNA and protein levels were also decreased by 8-bromo-cAMP. These findings suggest that 8-bromo-cAMP inhibits glucose transport activity in mouse placental cells in culture. Journal of Endocrinology (1996) 150, 319–327

Flexor Digitorum

It is widely thought that aging results in development of insulin resistance in skeletal muscle. In this study, we examined the effects of growth and aging on the concentration of the GLUT-4 glucose transporter and on glucose transport activity in skeletal muscles of female Long-Evans rats. Relative amounts of immunoreactive GLUT-4 protein were measured in muscle homogenates of 1-, 10-, and 25-mo-old rats by immunoblotting with a polyclonal antibody directed against GLUT-4. In the epitrochlearis, plantaris, and the red and white regions of the quadriceps muscles, GLUT-4 immunoreactivity decreased by 14-33% between 1 and 10 mo of age and thereafter remained constant. In flexor digitorum brevis (FDB) and soleus muscles, GLUT-4 concentration was similar at all three ages studied. Glucose transport activity was assessed in epitrochlearis and FDB muscles by incubation with 2-deoxyglucose under the following conditions: basal, submaximal insulin, and either maximal insulin or maximal insulin combined with contractile activity. Glucose transport in the epitrochlearis muscle decreased by approximately 60% between 1 and 4 mo of age and then did not decline further between 4 and 25 mo of age. Transport activity in the FDB assessed with a maximally effective insulin concentration decreased only slightly (< 20%) between 1 and 7 mo of age. Aging, i.e., the transition from young adulthood to old age, was not associated with a decrease in glucose transport activity in either the epitrochlearis or the FDB.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The relationships among fiber type, glucose transporter (GLUT-4) protein content, and glucose transport activity stimulated maximally with insulin and/or contractile activity were studied by use of the rat epitrochlearis (15% type I-20% type II2a-65% type IIb), soleus (84-16-0%), extensor digitorum longus (EDL, 3-57-40%), and flexor digitorum brevis (FDB, 7-92-1%) muscles. Insulin-stimulated 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG) uptake was greatest in the soleus, followed (in order) by the FDB, EDL, and epitrochlearis. On the other hand, contractile activity induced the greatest increase in 2-DG uptake in the FDB, followed by the EDL, soleus, and epitrochlearis. The effects of insulin and contractile activity on 2-DG uptake were additive in all the muscle preparations, with the relative rates being FDB greater than soleus greater than EDL greater than epitrochlearis. Quantitation of the GLUT-4 protein content with the antiserum R820 showed the following pattern: FDB greater than soleus greater than EDL greater than epitrochlearis. Linear regression analysis showed that whereas a relatively low and nonsignificant correlation existed between GLUT-4 protein content and 2-DG uptake stimulated by insulin alone, significant correlations existed between GLUT-4 protein content and 2-DG uptake stimulated either by contractions alone (r = 0.950) or by insulin and contractions in combination (r = 0.992). These results suggest that the differences in maximally stimulated glucose transport activity among the three fiber types may be related to differences in their content of GLUT-4 protein.

Differentiating 3T3-L1 cells exhibit a dramatic increase in the rate of insulin-stimulated glucose transport during their conversion from proliferating fibroblasts to nonproliferating adipocytes. On day 3 of 3T3-L1 cell differentiation, basal glucose transport and cell surface transferrin binding are markedly diminished. This occurs concomitant with the formation of a distinct insulin-responsive vesicular pool of intracellular glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) and transferrin receptors as assessed by sucrose velocity gradients. The intracellular distribution of the insulin-responsive aminopeptidase is first readily detectable on day 3, and its gradient profile and response to insulin at this time are identical to that of GLUT1. With further time of differentiation, GLUT4 is expressed and targeted to the same insulin-responsive vesicles as the other three proteins. Our data are consistent with the notion that a distinct insulin-sensitive vesicular cargo compartment forms early during fat call differentiation and its formation precedes GLUT4 expression. The development of this compartment may result from the differentiation-dependent inhibition of constitutive GLUT1 and transferrin receptor trafficking such that there is a large increase in, or the new formation of, a population of postendosomal, insulin-responsive vesicles.

Short Term Adaptation

The intestinal epithelium is able to adapt to varying blood flow and, thus, oxygen availability. Still, the adaptation fails under pathologic situations. A better understanding of the mechanisms underlying the epithelial adaptation to hypoxia could help to improve the therapeutic approach. We hypothesized that the short-term adaptation to hypoxia is mediated via AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and that it is coupled to the long-term adaptation by a common regulation mechanism, the HIF-hydroxylase enzymes. Further, we hypothesized the transepithelial transport of glucose to be part of this short-term adaptation. We conducted Ussing chamber studies using isolated lagomorph jejunum epithelium and cell culture experiments with CaCo-2 cells. The epithelia and cells were incubated under 100% and 21% O2, respectively, with the panhydroxylase inhibitor dimethyloxalylglycine (DMOG) or under 1% O2. We showed an activation of AMPK under hypoxia and after incubation with DMOG by Western blot. This could be related to functional effects like an impairment of Na+-coupled glucose transport. Inhibitor studies revealed a recruitment of glucose transporter 1 under hypoxia, but not after incubation with DMOG. Summing up, we showed an influence of hydroxylase enzymes on AMPK activity and similarities between hypoxia and the effects of hydroxylase inhibition on functional changes.

We have compared the rates of insulin stimulation of cell-surface availability of glucose-transporter isoforms (GLUT1 and GLUT4) and the stimulation of 2-deoxy-D-glucose transport in 3T3-L1 cells. The levels of cell-surface transporters have been assessed by using the bismannose compound 2-N-[4-(1-azi-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)benzoyl]-1,3-bis(D-mannos -4-yloxy) propyl-2-amine (ATB-BMPA). At 27 degrees C the half-times for the appearance of GLUT1 and GLUT4 at the cell surface were 5.7 and 5.4 min respectively and were slightly shorter than that for the observed stimulation of transport activity (t 1/2 8.6 min). This lag may be due to a slow dissociation of surface transporters from trafficking proteins responsible for translocation. When fully-insulin-stimulated cells were subjected to a low-pH washing procedure to remove insulin at 37 degrees C, the cell-surface levels of GLUT1 and GLUT4 decreased, with half-times of 9.2 and 6.8 min respectively. These times correlated well with decrease in 2-deoxy-D-glucose transport activity that occurred during this washing procedure (t1/2 6.5 min). When fully-insulin-stimulated cells were treated with phenylarsine oxide (PAO), a similar decrease in transport activity occurred (t1/2 9.8 min). However, surface labelling showed that this corresponded with a decrease in GLUT4 only (t1/2 7.8 min). The cell-surface level of GLUT1 remained high throughout the PAO treatment. Light-microsome membranes were isolated from cells which had been cell-surface-labelled with ATB-BMPA. Internalization of both transporter isoforms to this pool occurred when cells were maintained in the presence of insulin for 60 min. In contrast with the surface-labelling results, we have shown that the transfer to the light-microsome pool of both transporters occurred in cells treated with insulin and PAO. These results suggest that both transporters are recycled by fluid-phase endocytosis and exocytosis. PAO may inhibit this recycling at a stage which involves the re-emergence of internalized transporters at the plasma membrane. The GLUT1 transporters that are recycled to the surface in insulin- and PAO-treated cells appear to have low transport activity. This may be because of a failure to dissociate fully from trafficking proteins at the cell surface. GLUT4 transporters appear to have a greater tendency to remain internalized if the normal mechanisms that commit transporters to the cell surface, such as dissociation from trafficking proteins, are uncoupled.

Obesity is known to be associated with insulin resistance in human and rat adipocytes. However, it is not known what are the perturbations in insulin action that contribute to disproportional femoral obesity. Thus femoral subcutaneous adipose tissue was obtained from lean women with various degrees of disproportional obesity, by liposuction. 3-O-methylglucose (3-O-methyl-D-glucopyranose) transport was measured in intact cells, and glucose transporter levels in plasma and low-density microsomal membranes were assessed using the cytochalasin B binding assay. A sixfold cellular enlargement was associated with increase in both basal and insulin-stimulated glucose transport activity in the intact cell, and a 300-600% increase in insulin stimulating effect per se. However, when glucose transporter levels were assessed, this cellular enlargement was accompanied by a 40-70% transporter depletion (in largest cells compared with smallest ones) in both subcellular fractions examined, from either basal or insulin-stimulated cells. This discrepancy, between increasing cellular glucose transport rates and relative depletion of transporter levels, suggests that these cells are not insulin resistant, as could be expected from their large size. A role for other factor(s), additional to glucose transporter levels, in the regulation of cellular glucose uptake rate is thus suggested.

Skeletal muscle glucose transport was examined in transgenic mice overexpressing the glucose transporter GLUT1 using both the isolated incubated-muscle preparation and the hind-limb perfusion technique. In the absence of insulin, 2-deoxy-d-glucose uptake was increased ∼ 3–8-fold in isolated fast-twitch muscles of GLUT1 transgenic mice compared with non-transgenic siblings. Similarly, basal glucose transport activity was increased ∼ 4–14-fold in perfused fast-twitch muscles of transgenic mice. In non-transgenic mice insulin accelerated glucose transport activity ∼ 2–3-fold in isolated muscles and to a much greater extent (∼ 7–20-fold) in perfused hind-limb preparations. The observed effect of insulin on glucose transport in transgenic muscle was similarly dependent upon the technique used for measurement, as insulin had no effect on isolated fast-twitch muscle from transgenic mice, but significantly enhanced glucose transport in perfused fast-twitch muscle from transgenic mice to ∼ 50–75% of the magnitude of the increase observed in non-transgenic mice. Cell-surface glucose transporter content was assessed via 2-N-4-(l-azi-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)benzoyl-1,3-bis-(d -mannos-4-yloxy)-2-propylamine photolabelling methodology in both isolated and perfused extensor digitorum longus (EDL). Cell-surface GLUT1 was enhanced by as much as 70-fold in both isolated and perfused EDL of transgenic mice. Insulin did not alter cell-surface GLUT1 in either transgenic or non-transgenic mice. Basal levels of cell-surface GLUT4, measured in either isolated or perfused EDL, were similar in transgenic and non-transgenic mice. Interestingly, insulin enhanced cell-surface GLUT4 ∼ 2-fold in isolated EDL and ∼ 6-fold in perfused EDL of both transgenic and non-transgenic mice. In summary, these results reveal differences between isolated muscle and perfused hind-limb techniques, with the latter method showing a more robust responsiveness to insulin. Furthermore, the results demonstrate that muscle overexpressing GLUT1 has normal insulin-induced GLUT4 translocation and the ability to augment glucose-transport activity above the elevated basal rates.
