Abstract
Adiponectin, a hormone secreted from adipocytes and released at a high rate into the circulation, plays a pivotal role in maintaining insulin sensitivity at the whole-body level. Despite the importance of this adipokine in metabolic homoeostasis, the mechanism of its secretion from adipocytes remains largely unclear. In the present study, we investigated the subcellular localization of adiponectin, and its secretion regulation in 3T3-L1-differentiated adipocytes, using biochemical methods and fluorescence microscopic imaging. We show that adiponectin is localized in vesicular compartments with no apparent overlap with the Golgi apparatus or endosomes. Moreover, adiponectin-containing vesicles are enriched in two distinct pools: one at the plasma membrane (PM) and the other co-fractionating with endoplasmic reticulum membranes. When viewed under a total internal refection fluorescence microscope, a subset of adiponectin-Venus vesicles is readily observed in proximity to PMs, and could be released in response to insulin. Insulin-stimulated adiponectin release appears to be from a pre-existing pool of vesicles, and is not dependent on new protein synthesis, because adiponectin mRNA levels remain unchanged over a 6-h period of insu...Continue Reading
