Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) plays an important role in a variety of hormone and growth factor-mediated intracellular signaling cascades and has been implicated in the regulation of a number of metabolic effects of insulin, including glucose transport and glycogen synthase activation. In the present study we have examined 1) the association of PI 3-kinase with the insulin receptor kinase (IRK) in rat liver and 2) the subcellular distribution of PI 3-kinase-IRK interaction. Insulin treatment promoted a rapid and pronounced recruitment of PI 3-kinase to IRKs located at the plasma membrane, whereas no increase in association with endosomal IRKs was observed. In contrast to IRS-1-associated PI 3-kinase activity, association of PI 3-kinase with the plasma membrane IRK did not augment the specific activity of the lipid kinase. With use of the selective PI 3-kinase inhibitor wortmannin, our data suggest that the cell surface IRK β-subunit is not a substrate for the serine kinase activity of PI 3-kinase. The functional significance for the insulin-stimulated selective recruitment of PI 3-kinase to cell surface IRKs remains to be elucidated.

The Src homology and collagen protein (Shc) is tyrosine phosphorylated in response to insulin; however, evidence for its interaction with insulin receptor (IR) in normal tissues is missing. Interactions between IR, Shc and regulatory subunits of the phosphatidylinositol 3´-kinase (PI 3´-kinase) were characterized in the present study in liver and muscles of chickens submitted to various nutritional states. A chicken liver Shc cDNA fragment encoding a 198 amino acid long fragment, including the phosphotyrosine binding domain was sequenced. It shows 89% homology with the corresponding human homologue. The amounts of the three Shc isoforms (66, 52 and 46 kDa) and Shc messenger were not altered by the nutritional state. Shc tyrosine phosphorylation was decreased by fasting in both liver and muscle. Importantly, Shc was immunoprecipitated by IR antibody (mostly the 52 kDa isoform) or by αIRS-1(mostly the 46 kDa isoform). IR–Shc association was decreased by fasting and restored by refeeding. In liver, αShc immunoprecipitated the three forms of regulatory subunits of PI 3´-kinase and a PI 3´-kinase activity which was decreased by fasting. In muscle, αShc immunoprecipitated only the p85 isoform; the associated PI 3´-kinase activity was not altered by the nutritional state. Conversely, in both tissues anti-p85 antibody precipitated only the 52 kDa Shc isoform. In liver, antibodies to insulin receptor substrate-1 (αIRS-1), Shc or IR immunoprecipitated the three regulatory subunits of PI 3´-kinase and an equal PI 3´-kinase activity, without any residual activity left in the supernatants, suggesting the presence of a large complex involving IR, IRS-1, Shc (mainly the 52 kDa isoform) and PI 3´-kinase activity. The presence of another complex containing IRS-1 and the 46 kDa Shc isoform, but no PI 3´-kinase activity, is suggested.

Glucose transporters (GLUTs) are continuously recycled in 3T3-L1 cells and so insulin, through its action on phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase), could potentially alter the distribution of these transporters by enhancing retention in the plasma membrane or acting intracellularly to increase exocytosis, either by stimulating a budding or a docking and fusion process. To examine the site of involvement of PI 3-kinase in the glucose transporter recycling pathway, we have determined the kinetics of recycling under conditions in which the PI 3-kinase activity is inhibited by wortmannin. Wortmannin addition to fully insulin-stimulated cells induces a net reduction of glucose transport activity with a time course that is consistent with a major effect on the return of internalized transporters to the plasma membrane. The exocytosis of GLUT1 and GLUT4 is reduced to very low levels in wortmannin-treated cells (≈ 0.009 min-1), but the endocytosis of these isoforms is not markedly perturbed and the rate constants are approx. 10-fold higher than for exocytosis (0.099 and 0.165 min-1, respectively). The slow reduction in basal activity following treatment with wortmannin is consistent with a wortmannin effect on constitutive recycling as well as insulin-regulated exocytosis. PI 3-kinase activity that is precipitated by anti-phosphotyrosine, anti-[insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS1)] and anti-α-p85 antibodies show the same level of insulin-stimulated activity, ≈ 0.5 pmol/20 min per dish of 3T3-L1 cells. Since the activities precipitated by all three antibodies are similar, it seems unlikely that a second insulin receptor substrate, IRS2, contributes significantly to the insulin signalling observed in 3T3-L1 cells. To examine whether insulin targets PI 3-kinase to intracellular membranes we have carried out subcellular fractionation studies. These suggest that nearly all the insulin-stimulated PI 3-kinase activity is located on intracellular, low-density, membranes. In addition, the association of PI 3-kinase with IRS1 appears to partially deplete the cytoplasm of α-p85-precipitatable activity, suggesting that IRS1 may redistribute PI 3-kinase from the cytoplasm to the low-density microsome membranes. Taken together, the trafficking kinetic and PI 3-kinase distribution studies suggest an intracellular membrane site of action of the enzyme in enhancing glucose transporter exocytosis.

Abstract Preincubation of rat soleus muscle with 1 and 10 μm monensin for 2 h increased the subsequent basal 2-deoxyglucose uptake by muscle 76 and 121% respectively. Under the same conditions, monensin decreased the insulin-stimulated (1 mU/ml) 2-deoxyglucose uptake by 29 and 37% respectively. The monensin-induced augmentation of basal 2-deoxyglucose uptake was inhibited 92% by cytochalasin B suggesting that the uptake is mediated by glucose transporters. Monensin did not increase the cellular accumulation of l-glucose in muscle indicating that it does not affect the cell membrane integrity. Neither the stimulatory effect of monensin on basal 2-deoxyglucose uptake nor the opposite, inhibitory action of monensin on the insulin-stimulated 2-deoxyglucose uptake were influenced by the removal of Ca2+ from the medium or by dantrolene, an inhibitor of Ca2+ release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum, suggesting that the actions of monensin are not mediated by calcium. Monensin had no effect on muscle ATP concentration. The monensin-induced augmentation of basal 2-deoxyglucose uptake was neither associated with stimulation of muscle phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activity nor inhibited by wortmannin, demonstrating that the increase in basal 2-deoxyglucose uptake is not mediated by activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase. The inhibition of insulin-stimulated 2-deoxyglucose uptake by monensin was associated with a 31% decrease in the abundance of insulin receptors in muscles, a 64% decrease in the insulin-induced autophosphorylation of the insulin receptor β-subunit, and a 44% reduction of the insulin-stimulated phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activity. Addition of monensin into the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase reaction had no effect on the activity of the enzyme, demonstrating that the inhibition in monensin-treated muscles is indirect and occurs upstream of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase. It is concluded that monensin has a dual effect on 2-deoxyglucose uptake by skeletal muscle: it stimulates basal uptake but inhibits the insulin-stimulated uptake. The primary cause of the latter, inhibitory effect of monensin is at the level of the insulin receptor. Journal of Endocrinology (1997) 154, 85–93
