Abstract
Cellular and molecular mechanisms of insulin resistance in isolated adipocytes from methylcholanthrene-induced sarcoma-bearing rats were investigated by measuring 3-O-[14C]methyl glucose transport activity, glucose transporter-4 (GLUT4) protein in both plasma membrane and low-density microsomes, and insulin-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of the insulin receptor (IR) and insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1). Compared to both pair-fed and freely fed controls, tumor-bearing rats (TBR) had a decreased insulin-stimulated glucose transport activity with a lower Vmax and a higher EC50. GLUT4 protein in low-density microsomes from adipocytes maintained at the basal state was less in TBR than in controls. In insulin-stimulated adipocytes, GLUT4 protein in plasma membranes was also less in tumor-bearing rats than in controls. Insulin-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1 was less in TBR than controls, but that of the IR was similar among the three groups. These data suggest that the insulin resistance seen in adipose cells of these tumor-bearing rats was caused in part by a decreased amount of GLUT4 protein in both basal and insulin-stimulated states resulting from the selective inhibition of insulin-stimulated phosphorylation of IRS-1.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Insulin resistance may play an important role in cancer cachexia; however, its mechanisms remain to be clarified. METHODS Cellular mechanisms of insulin resistance in tumor-bearing rats (TBR) were investigated in isolated adipose cells by measuring 3-O-[14C]methyl glucose transport activity and glucose transporter-4 (GLUT4) protein in low-density microsomes at a basal state and in the plasma membrane at an insulin-stimulated state. RESULTS The insulin-stimulated glucose transport activity in adipose cells from TBR was significantly lower than that of control rats (CTR) (0.51 +/- 0.25 and 2.27 +/- 0.11 fmol/cell/min, respectively). The amount of GLUT4 in low-density microsomes at a basal state and in plasma membrane at an insulin-stimulated state was less in TBR than in CTR. CONCLUSIONS These data suggest that the insulin resistance seen in the adipose cells of these tumor-bearing rats was caused in part by both a decreased amount of GLUT4 protein in a basal state and a decreased translocation of GLUT4 in response to insulin stimulation.

Abstract
The present study was conducted to examine the involvement of Rab4, a low molecular weight GTP-binding protein, in the action of insulin on glucose transport. A synthetic peptide corresponding to the Rab4 hypervariable carboxyl-terminal domain, Rab4-(191-210), was successfully transferred into rat adipocytes by electroporation and inhibited insulin-stimulated glucose transport by about 50% without affecting the basal transport activity. In contrast, synthetic peptides corresponding to the Rab3C and Rab3D carboxyl-terminal hypervariable domain had little effect on insulin action on glucose transport. The Rab4-(191-210) peptide also reduced insulin-induced GLUT4 translocation from the intracellular pool to the plasma membrane. Furthermore, the Rab4-(191-210) peptide reduced both insulin-induced glucose transport and GLUT4 translocation in the presence of a major histocompatibility complex class I antigen-derived peptide, D(k)-(62-85), which is a potent inhibitor of GLUT4 internalization, suggesting that the peptide inhibited exocytotic recruitment of GLUT4-containing vesicles. The Rab4-(191-210) peptide also inhibited GTP gamma S-stimulated glucose transport. In addition, insulin-stimulated glucose transport was inhibited by the addition of anti-Rab4 antibody. These results suggest that Rab4 protein plays a crucial role in insulin action on GLUT4 translocation, especially in exocytotic recruitment by the hormone of the glucose transporter to the plasma membrane from the intracellular retention pool.

Abstract
The effects of guanine nucleotides on either exocytosis or endocytosis of GLUT4 were examined in electrically permeabilized rat adipocytes by using Dk-(62-85), a major histocompatibility complex class I-derived peptide. Reversal of glucose transport activity that had been stimulated with insulin was completely blocked by Dk-(62-85). Likewise, endocytosis of the trypsin-cleaved 35-kDa fragment of GLUT4 was almost completely inhibited by the peptide. Insulin-stimulated glucose transport activity was enhanced about 50% by Dk-(62-85), whereas the basal transport activity was stimulated only slightly. Although guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP gamma S) augmented glucose transport to the same extent as insulin in the absence of the peptide, glucose transport stimulated by GTP gamma S was only 60% of the insulin effect in the presence of the peptide; the effect of insulin was markedly enhanced by Dk-(62-85), whereas GTP gamma S-induced glucose transport was not affected, suggesting that GTP gamma S has an effect similar to that of the peptide. In fact, endocytosis of the 35-kDa fragment of GLUT4 was markedly inhibited by GTP gamma S. Additionally, GLUT4 endocytosis was accelerated by GTP but was inhibited by guanosine 5'-O-(2-thiodiphosphate). These results indicate that GTP gamma S induces translocation of GLUT4 by both stimulating exocytosis and inhibiting endocytosis. With respect to the dependence on GTP hydrolysis, distinct types of GTP-binding proteins are involved in exocytosis and endocytosis of GLUT4.

Abstract
Staurosporine, a widely used protein kinase C inhibitor, completely inhibited both phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA)- and insulin-stimulated glucose transport activity in isolated rat adipocytes. The inhibition was non-competitive and was attributed to a blockade of the PMA- and insulin-induced translocation of both GLUT1 and GLUT4 glucose transporters. The PMA-stimulated glucose transport activity was more sensitive to inhibition by staurosporine than was insulin-stimulated transport activity (PMA, IC50 = 1.1 +/- 0.1 microM; insulin, IC50 = 6.4 +/- 0.7 microM; P < 0.05, n = 3). At 1 microM staurosporine the insulin-sensitivity was decreased, i.e. EC50 increased from 0.12 nM to 5.4 nM, but the maximum response to insulin and the time course for stimulation were unaffected. At 6 microM staurosporine the insulin-sensitivity was further decreased, the maximal stimulation was decreased by 25%, and the apparent half-time for stimulation was extended from 2.5 min in control cells to 9.4 min. Staurosporine (30 microM) was able to block insulin's ability to stimulate glucose transport, whether added before or after insulin, by a mechanism that did not alter the rate of GLUT4 internalization. In intact adipose cells, staurosporine (30 microM) induced a slight (30%) decrease in the maximal insulin-induced receptor autophosphorylation and a similar decrease in the tyrosine phosphorylation of pp60 and pp160 (insulin-receptor substrate-1: 'IRS-1'), but was without effect on insulin binding to its receptor. Conversely, staurosporine induced a concentration-dependent inhibition of the constitutively tyrosine-phosphorylated (pp120) protein and of an insulin-stimulated protein pp53 in the cytosol. The locus of staurosporine's action appears to be distal from the initial insulin-receptor signalling, at a step that regulates the specific translocation of the glucose transporters to the plasma membranes.

Abstract
The insulin-stimulated glucose transporter in rat adipocytes was inhibited by two protein kinase inhibitors, staurosporine (SSP) and H-7 (1-(5-isoquinolinylsulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine). However, whereas SSP (10 microM) blocked the insulin-dependent translocation of glucose transporter, H-7 (3 mM) did not. The latter inhibited glucose transporter activity not only in cells, but also in reconstituted liposomes. On the other hand, SSP blocked both the action of insulin and the insulinomimetic action of GTP gamma S (Guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate)). GTP gamma S had distinct effects on the glucose transport and cAMP phosphodiesterase (PDE) activities. It is suggest that H-7 may inhibit glucose transport activity per se; a SSP sensitive protein kinases (protein kinase C isoforms?) may be involved in cascade of the insulin action on glucose transporter as modulated by GTP gamma S; and glucose transport and PDE activities may be regulated by distinct GTP gamma S-sensitive factors.

Abstract
The effects of fluorescein isothiocyanate II (FITC) on the actions of insulin in rat adipocytes were studied. When adipocytes were incubated with FITC at pH 7.4 (2 mM agent, 8 min), the cells were completely deprived of their specific insulin-binding activity and rendered unresponsive to the hormone. The effect of FITC on the insulin-binding activity was milder at pH 9.0, and cAMP phosphodiesterase in cells exposed to FITC at pH 9.0 was maximally stimulated if the insulin concentration was increased to 100 nM. Under identical conditions, however, glucose transport activity was rendered not only less sensitive but also less responsive to the hormone. When FITC was added to cells after insulin at pH 9.0, the glucose transport activity that had been stimulated by the hormone was considerably reduced. This reduction was largely, but not entirely, prevented if the cells were deprived of ATP, suggesting that FITC (a) elicited the ATP-dependent reversal of the hormonal effect and, simultaneously, (b) mildly inhibited the transport activity per se. Western blot assay of GLUT-4 (a major isoform of glucose transporter in adipocytes) indicated that FITC (a) partially blocked insulin-dependent translocation of GLUT-4 from the intracellular site to the plasma membrane while it (b) induced a mild "insulin-like" effect. It is concluded that FITC at pH 9.0 (a) renders both glucose transport and phosphodiesterase activities less insulin sensitive presumably by modifying the cellular hormone receptor and (b) makes glucose transport activity less responsive to insulin presumably by (i) blocking hormone-dependent translocation of glucose transporter and (ii) mildly inhibiting intrinsic glucose transport activity.

Abstract
The acute effects of insulin, adenosine, and isoproterenol on the activity, subcellular distribution, and phosphorylation state of the GLUT4 glucose transporter isoform were investigated in rat adipocytes under conditions carefully controlled to monitor changes in cAMP-dependent protein kinase (A-kinase) activity. In contrast to GLUT1, which has not been shown to be phosphorylated even when cells are exposed to any of the above agents, GLUT4 was partially phosphorylated (0.1-0.2 mol/mol) when the activity of the A-kinase was suppressed, and remained unchanged in response to insulin. Isoproterenol elicited a 64% inhibition of insulin-stimulated glucose transport activity in the absence, but not the presence, of adenosine receptor agonists. However, in either the presence or the absence of agonists, A-kinase was activated as assessed by examining the phosphorylation of the major adipocyte A-kinase substrate, perilipin. Similarly, under either condition, phosphorylation of GLUT4 was enhanced 1.4-fold in the intracellular membranes, but no significant change was observed in the plasma membrane. In the absence of adenosine receptor agonists, isoproterenol exerted a small (14%) but significant inhibition of the insulin-induced translocation of GLUT4 but had no effect on the translocation of GLUT1. Thus, changes in the phosphorylation state and/or subcellular distribution of GLUT4 cannot account for the inhibition of insulin-stimulated glucose activity induced by isoproterenol.
