Abstract

The serine/threonine kinase Akt/protein kinase B (PKB) is required for the metabolic actions of insulin. Controversial data have been reported regarding Akt defective activation in the muscle of type 2 diabetic patients. Because three Akt isoforms exist, each having a distinct physiological role, we investigated the contribution of isoform-specific defects to insulin signalling in human muscle. The phosphorylation pattern and kinase activity of each Akt isoform were compared in primary myotubes from healthy control participants and type 2 diabetic patients. Phosphorylation of Ser(473) and of Thr(308) in each isoform was determined after immunoprecipitation in myotubes treated or not with insulin. Muscle cells from diabetic patients displayed defective insulin action and a drastic reduction of insulin-stimulated activity of all Akt isoforms. This was associated with specific defects of their phosphorylation pattern in response to insulin, with impaired Akt2- (and to a lower extent Akt3-) Ser(473) phosphorylation, and with altered Akt1-Thr(308) phosphorylation. These defects were not due to faulty phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase 1 (PDK1) production or activation. Rather, we found higher levels of the Akt2-Ser(473)-speci...Continue Reading
