Glucose-stimulated increases in osteoclast activity are mediated, at least in part, by transcriptional regulation of H+-ATPase expression through a mechanism involving p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase. We hypothesized that early events in the glucose-dependent signaling pathway would be similar to those identified in other glucose-sensitive cells, such as islet β-cells, including rapid changes in the cellular ATP/ADP ratio and mobilization of intracellular Ca2+. We demonstrate that glucose stimulates a prolonged 50% increase in the ATP/ADP ratio that was maximal 30 s after glucose concentrations were increased. Glucose stimulated a transient 30% increase in calcium/calmodulin-dependent kinase II (CaMK II) activity that was maximal 3 min after the glucose concentration was increased. CaMK II was activated maximally by 3 mmol D-glucose/L in 3-min assays. Activation of CaMK II in the presence of the nonmetabo lizable glucose analog 2-deoxyglucose was 2-fold greater than with D-glucose but was unchanged by glucosamine. Pretreatment of osteoclasts with the intracellular Ca2+ chelator BAPTA-AM inhibited glucose transport by 75%. BAPTA-AM treatment also prevented glucose-dependent stimulation of CaMK II. The data indicate that osteoclasts utilize a glucose-sensing mechanism similar to that of β-cells and that glucose-stimulated signaling in osteoclasts involves changes in the ATP/ADP ratio and mobilization of intracellular Ca2+, resulting in activation of CaMK II.Key words: osteoclast, metabolism, glucose transport, calmodulin kinase II.

Insulinoma Cells

In β cells, both glucose and hormones, such as GLP-1, stimulate production of the second messenger cAMP, but glucose and GLP-1 elicit distinct cellular responses. We now show in INS-1E insulinoma cells that glucose and GLP-1 produce cAMP with distinct kinetics via different adenylyl cyclases. GLP-1 induces a rapid cAMP signal mediated by G protein–responsive transmembrane adenylyl cyclases (tmAC). In contrast, glucose elicits a delayed cAMP rise mediated by bicarbonate, calcium, and ATP-sensitive soluble adenylyl cyclase (sAC). This glucose-induced, sAC-dependent cAMP rise is dependent upon calcium influx and is responsible for the glucose-induced activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (ERK1/2) pathway. These results demonstrate that sAC-generated and tmAC-generated cAMP define distinct signaling cascades.

Inflammation Resolution

Inflammation resolution counterbalances excessive inflammation and restores tissue homeostasis after injury. Failure of resolution contributes to the pathology of numerous chronic inflammatory diseases. Resolution is mediated by endogenous specialized proresolving mediators (SPMs), which are derived from long-chain fatty acids by lipoxygenase (LOX) enzymes. 5-LOX plays a critical role in the biosynthesis of two classes of SPMs: lipoxins and resolvins. Cytoplasmic localization of the nonphosphorylated form of 5-LOX is essential for SPM biosynthesis, whereas nuclear localization of phosphorylated 5-LOX promotes proinflammatory leukotriene production. We previously showed that MerTK, an efferocytosis receptor on macrophages, promotes SPM biosynthesis by increasing the abundance of nonphosphorylated, cytoplasmic 5-LOX. We now show that activation of MerTK in human macrophages led to ERK-mediated expression of the gene encoding sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase 2 (SERCA2), which decreased the cytosolic Ca2+ concentration and suppressed the activity of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII). This, in turn, reduced the activities of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) p38 and the kinase MK2, resulting in the increased abundance of the nonphosphorylated, cytoplasmic form of 5-LOX and enhanced SPM biosynthesis. In a zymosan-induced peritonitis model, an inflammatory setting in which macrophage MerTK activation promotes resolution, inhibition of ERK activation delayed resolution, which was characterized by an increased number of neutrophils and decreased amounts of SPMs in tissue exudates. These findings contribute to our understanding of how MerTK signaling induces 5-LOX–derived SPM biosynthesis and suggest a therapeutic strategy to boost inflammation resolution in settings where defective resolution promotes disease progression.

We have previously shown that Ca2+-dependent Cl−secretion across intestinal epithelial cells is limited by a signaling pathway involving transactivation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and activation of ERK mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK). Here, we have investigated a possible role for p38 MAPK in regulation of Ca2+-dependent Cl− secretion. Western blot analysis of T84 colonic epithelial cells revealed that the muscarinic agonist carbachol (CCh; 100 μM) stimulated phosphorylation and activation of p38 MAPK. The p38 inhibitor SB-203580 (10 μM) potentiated and prolonged short-circuit current ( I sc) responses to CCh across voltage-clamped T84 cells to 157.4 ± 6.9% of those in control cells ( n = 21; P < 0.001). CCh-induced p38 phosphorylation was attenuated by the EGFR inhibitor tyrphostin AG-1478 (0.1 nM–10 μM) and by the Src family kinase inhibitor PP2 (20 nM–2 μM). The effects of CCh on p38 phosphorylation were mimicked by thapsigargin (TG; 2 μM), which specifically elevates intracellular Ca2+, and were abolished by the Ca2+ chelator BAPTA-AM (20 μM), implying a role for intracellular Ca2+ in mediating p38 activation. SB-203580 (10 μM) potentiated I sc responses to TG to 172.4 ± 18.1% of those in control cells ( n= 18; P < 0.001). When cells were pretreated with SB-203580 and PD-98059 to simultaneously inhibit p38 and ERK MAPKs, respectively, I sc responses to TG and CCh were significantly greater than those observed with either inhibitor alone. We conclude that Ca2+-dependent agonists stimulate p38 MAPK in T84 cells by a mechanism involving intracellular Ca2+, Src family kinases, and the EGFR. CCh-stimulated p38 activation constitutes a similar, but distinct and complementary, antisecretory signaling pathway to that of ERK MAPK.

In L6 myotubes insulin stimulates glucose transport through the translocation of glucose transporters GLUT1, GLUT3 and GLUT4 from intracellular stores to the plasma membrane. An intact actin network and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activity are required for this process. Glucose transport is also stimulated by the mitochondrial ATP-production uncoupler dinitrophenol. We show here that, in serum-depleted myotubes, dinitrophenol induced translocation of GLUT1 and GLUT4, but not GLUT3. This response was not affected by inhibiting phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase or disassembling the actin network. Insulin, but not dinitrophenol, caused tyrosine phosphorylation of several polypeptides, including the insulin-receptor substrate-1 and mitogen-activated protein kinase. Similarly, insulin, but not dinitrophenol, caused actin reorganization, which was inhibited by wortmannin. We conclude that insulin and dinitrophenol stimulate glucose transport by different mechanisms.

Rabbit Embryos

The addition of insulin during in vitro culture has beneficial effects on rabbit preimplantation embryos leading to increased cell proliferation and reduced apoptosis. We have previously described the expression of the insulin receptor (IR) and the insulin-responsive glucose transporters (GLUT) 4 and 8 in rabbit preimplantation embryos. However, the effects of insulin on IR signaling and glucose metabolism have not been investigated in rabbit embryos. In the present study, the effects of 170 nM insulin on IR, GLUT4 and GLUT8 mRNA levels, Akt and Erk phosphorylation, GLUT4 translocation and methyl glucose transport were studied in cultured day 3 to day 6 rabbit embryos. Insulin stimulated phosphorylation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) Erk1/2 and levels of IR and GLUT4 mRNA, but not phosphorylation of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-dependent protein kinase, Akt, GLUT8 mRNA levels, glucose uptake or GLUT4 translocation. Activation of the MAPK signaling pathway in the absence of GLUT4 translocation and of a glucose transport response suggest that in the rabbit preimplantation embryo insulin is acting as a growth factor rather than a component of glucose homeostatic control.
