Abstract

Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) activation is necessary for many insulin-induced metabolic and mitogenic responses. However, it is unclear whether PI3K activation is sufficient for any of these effects. To address this question we increased PI3K activity in differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes by adenovirus-mediated expression of both the inter-SH2 region of the regulatory p85 subunit of PI3K (iSH2) and the catalytic p110 alpha subunit (p110). Coexpression resulted in PI3K activity that exceeded insulin-stimulated activity by two- to fivefold in cytosol, total membranes, and the low density microsome (LDM) fraction, the site of greatest insulin stimulation. While insulin increased glucose transport 15-fold, coexpression of iSH2-p110 increased transport (5.2-) +/- 0.7-fold with a parallel increase in GLUT4 translocation to the plasma membrane. Constitutive activation of PI3K had no effect on maximally insulin-stimulated glucose transport. Neither basal nor insulin-stimulated activity of glycogen synthase or mitogen-activated protein kinase was altered by iSH2-p110 coexpression. DNA synthesis was increased twofold by insulin in control 3T3-L1 adipocytes transduced with beta-galactosidase-encoding recombinant adenovirus, while iS...Continue Reading
