Metabolic activation of AMP kinase in vascular smooth muscle

Journal of Applied Physiology
L J RubinC C Hale

Abstract

AMP-activated kinase (AMPK) is a highly conserved heterotrimeric kinase that functions as a metabolic master switch to coordinate cellular enzymes involved in carbohydrate and fat metabolism that regulate ATP conservation and synthesis. AMPK is activated by conditions that increase AMP-to-ATP ratio, such as exercise and metabolic stress. In the present study, we probed whether AMPK was expressed in vascular smooth muscle and would be activated by metabolic stress. Endothelium-denuded porcine carotid artery segments were metabolically challenged with 2-deoxyglucose (10 mM) plus N(2) (N(2)-2DG). These vessels exhibited a rapid increase in AMPK activity by 1 min that was near maximal by 20 min. AMPK inactivation on return to normal physiological saline was approximately 50% in 1 min and fully recovered by 5 min. Immunoprecipitation of the alpha(1)- and alpha(2)-catalytic subunit followed by immunoblot analysis for [P]Thr(172)-AMPK indicates that alpha(1)-AMPK accounts for all activity. Little if any alpha(2)-AMPK was detected in carotid smooth muscle. AMPK activity was not increased by contractile agonist (endothelin-1) or by the reported AMPK activators 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribofuranoside (2 mM), metformin (2 mM), or ph...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.
