Glucose is the main source of energy for the body, requiring constant regulation of its blood concentration. Insulin release by the pancreas induces glucose uptake by insulin-sensitive tissues, most notably the brain, skeletal muscle, and adipocytes. Patients suffering from type-2 diabetes and/or obesity often develop insulin resistance and are unable to control their glucose homeostasis. New i...
Regulation of Human Trophoblast GLUT3 Glucose Transporter by Mammalian Target of Rapamycin Signaling
Glucose transporter isoform-3 (GLUT3), one of the primary placental facilitative glucose transporters responsible for basal glucose transport, has a crucial role in glucose transport and fetal growth during early pregnancy. A GLUT3 mutation in mice has been reported to cause loss of early pregnancy or late-gestational fetal growth restriction. However, the underlying mechanisms that regulate th...
Nesfatin-1, a satiety-inducing peptide identified in hypothalamic regions that regulate energy balance, is an integral regulator of energy homeostasis and a putative glucose-dependent insulin coadjuvant. We investigated its production by human cardiomyocytes and its effects on glucose uptake, in the main cardiac glucose transporter GLUT-4 and in intracellular signaling. Quantitative RT-PCR, Wes...
It has been reported previously that the expression of glucose transporter member 3 (GLUT3) is increased in malignant glioma cells compared with normal glial cells. However, the regulating mechanism that causes this phenomenon remains unknown. The present study investigated the regulating role of transcription factor specific protein 1 (Sp1) in GLUT3 expression in a human glioma cell line. In t...
Whether coat proteins play a widespread role in endocytic recycling remains unclear. We find that ACAP1, a GTPase-activating protein (GAP) for ADP-ribosylation factor (ARF) 6, is part of a novel clathrin coat complex that is regulated by ARF6 for endocytic recycling in two key physiological settings, stimulation-dependent recycling of integrin that is critical for cell migration and insulin-sti...
Following the discovery of insulin 85 yr ago and the realization thereafter that in some individuals, tissues lose their responsiveness to this hormone, an enormous world-wide effort began to dissect the cellular mechanisms of insulin action and define abnormalities in the insulin-resistant state. A clear goal through the years has been to unravel the insulin signal transduction network regulat...
Insulin stimulates glucose transport in muscle and adipose tissue by triggering the movement of the glucose transporter GLUT-4 from an intracellular compartment to the cell surface. Fundamental to this process is the intracellular sequestration of GLUT-4 in nonstimulated cells. Two distinct targeting motifs in the amino and carboxy termini of GLUT-4 have been previously identified by expressing...
Rat epididymal adipocytes were incubated with 0, 0.1, and 1 mU sphingomyelinase/ml for 30 or 60 min, and glucose uptake and GLUT-1 and GLUT-4 translocation were assessed. Adipocytes exposed to 1 mU sphingomyelinase/ml exhibited a 173% increase in glucose uptake. Sphingomyelinase had no effect on the abundance of GLUT-1 in the plasma membrane of adipocytes. In contrast, 1 mU sphingomyelinase/ml ...
In skeletal muscle and adipose tissue, insulin-stimulated glucose uptake is dependent upon translocation of the insulin-responsive glucose transporter GLUT4 from intracellular storage compartments to the plasma membrane. This insulin-induced redistribution of GLUT4 protein is achieved through a series of highly organized membrane trafficking events, orchestrated by insulin receptor signals. Rec...
