Abstract

We have tested the hypothesis that changes in the levels and cellular location of protein kinase C (PKC) isozymes might be associated with the development of insulin resistance in skeletal muscles from the high-fat-fed rat. Lipid measurements showed that triglyceride and diacylglycerol, an activator of PKC, were elevated four- and twofold, respectively. PKC activity assays indicated that the proportion of membrane-associated calcium-independent PKC was also increased. As determined by immunoblotting, total (particulate plus cytosolic) PKC alpha, epsilon, and zeta levels were not different between control and fat-fed rats. However, the ratio of particulate to cytosolic PKC epsilon in red muscles from fat-fed rats was increased nearly sixfold, suggesting chronic activation. In contrast, the amount of cytosolic PKC theta was downregulated to 45% of control, while the ratio of particulate to cytosolic levels increased, suggesting a combination of chronic activation and downregulation. Interestingly, while insulin infusion in glucose-clamped rats increased the proportion of PKC theta in the particulate fraction of red muscle, this was potentiated by fat-feeding, suggesting that the translocation is a consequence of altered lipid flu...Continue Reading
