Cell-type-specific roles of IGF-1R and EGFR in mediating Zn2+-induced ERK1/2 and PKB phosphorylation. J Biol Inorg Chem 2009; 15:399-407.

Abstract
Zn(2+) exerts insulin-mimetic and antidiabetic effects in rodent models of insulin resistance, and activates extracellular-signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2) and protein kinase B (PKB), key components of the insulin signaling pathway. Zn(2+)-induced signaling has been shown to be associated with an increase in the tyrosine phosphorylation of insulin receptor (IR), as well as of insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF-1R) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in several cell types. However, the specific contribution of these receptor protein tyrosine kinases (R-PTKs) in mediating Zn(2+)-induced responses in a cell-specific fashion remains to be established. Therefore, using a series of pharmacological inhibitors and genetically engineered cells, we have investigated the roles of various R-PTKs in Zn(2+)-induced ERK1/2 and PKB phosphorylation. Pretreatment of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells overexpressing a human IR (CHO-HIR cells) with AG1024, an inhibitor for IR protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) and IGF-1R-PTK, blocked Zn(2+)-induced ERK1/2 and PKB phosphorylation, but AG1478, an inhibitor for EGFR, was without effect in CHO cells. On the other hand, both of these inhibitors were able to attenuate Zn(2+)-induced phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and PKB in A10 vascular smooth muscle cells. In addition, in CHO cells overexpressing tyrosine kinase deficient IR, Zn(2+) was still able to induce the phosphorylation of these two signaling molecules, whereas the insulin effect was significantly attenuated. Furthermore, both Zn(2+) and insulin-like growth factor 1 failed to stimulate ERK1/2 and PKB phosphorylation in IGF-1R knockout cells. Also, Zn(2+)-induced responses in CHO-HIR cells were not associated with an increase in the tyrosine phosphorylation of the IR beta-subunit and insulin receptor substrate 1 in CHO-HIR cells. Taken together, these data suggest that distinct R-PTKs mediate Zn(2+)-evoked ERK1/2 and PKB phosphorylation in a cell-specific manner.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate whether zinc, along with pyridoxine, is effective in improving performance and egg quality of laying hens. One hundred and twenty, 28-week-old Hy-Line laying hens were assigned to four treatment groups, 30 hens each. The birds were fed a basal diet or the basal diet supplemented with either 30 mg of zinc/kg of diet, 8 mg of pyridoxine/kg of diet, or 30 mg of zinc plus 8 mg of pyridoxine/kg of diet. Feed conversion (P < 0.01) and egg production (P < 0.01) improved most when both zinc and pyridoxine were supplemented to the diet. Eggshell weights were also greatest (P < 0.01) when the diet was supplemented with both pyridoxine and zinc. Egg-shape index was, however, greatest with zinc-supplemented diet (P < 0.004). Haugh unit was greatest in eggs of hens fed a diet supplemented with both zinc and pyridoxine (P < 0.01). Dietary zinc and pyridoxine supplementations together increased plasma calcium and phosphorous concentrations (P < 0.002). The results of the present study suggested that zinc (30 ppm) and pyridoxine (8 ppm) supplements, when used together, are recommended in terms of a better performance and egg quality in laying hens.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate whether zinc (Zn) along with magnesium (Mg) is effective in alleviating the negative effects of heat stress in Japanese quails. One hundred and twenty 10-day-old healthy Japanese quails were randomly assigned to four treatment groups, three replicates of ten birds each. The birds were fed either a basal diet or the basal diet supplemented with either 30 mg of Zn/kg of diet, 600 mg of Mg/kg of diet, or 30 mg of Zn + 600 mg of Mg/kg of diet. The birds were kept under a high temperature (35 degrees C) for 8 h/day. Feed consumption was greatest with the combination of Zn and Mg supplementation (P < 0.01). Hot and chilled dressing percentages were greater (P < 0.05) with Zn- and Mg-supplemented diets. Concentrations of plasma malondialdehyde were lower (P < 0.01) with both Zn and Mg supplementations. Mg concentrations in the serum remained similar with either Zn or Mg supplements in the diet (P > 0.05). Serum glucose concentrations were lowest in birds fed the basal diet. Supplementing a combination of Zn and Mg may offer a potential protective management practice in preventing heat stress-related depression in performance of quails.

Abstract
The male obese Wistar Diabetic Fatty (WDF) rat is a genetic model of obesity and non-insulin dependent diabetes (NIDDM). The obese Zucker rat shares the same gene for obesity on a different genetic background but is not diabetic. This study evaluated the degree of insulin resistance in both obese strains by examining the binding and post binding effects of muscle insulin receptors in obese rats exhibiting hyperinsulinemia and/or hyperglycemia. Insulin receptor binding and affinity and tyrosine kinase activity were measured in skeletal muscle from male WDF fa/fa (obese) and Fa/? (lean) and Zucker fa/fa (obese) and Fa/Fa (homozygous lean) rats. Rats were fed a high sucrose (68% of total Kcal) or Purina stock diet for 14 weeks. At 27 weeks of age, adipose depots were removed for adipose cellularity analysis and the biceps femoris muscle was removed for measurement of insulin binding and insulin-stimulated receptor kinase activity. Plasma glucose (13.9 vs. 8.4 mM) and insulin levels (14,754 vs. 7440 pmol/L) were significantly higher in WDF obese than in Zucker obese rats. Insulin receptor number and affinity and TK activity were unaffected by diet. Insulin receptor number was significantly reduced in obese WDF rats ( 2.778 +/- 0.617 pmol/mg protein), compared to obese Zucker rats (4.441 +/- 0.913 pmol/mg potein). Both obese strains exhibited down regulation of the insulin receptor compared to their lean controls. Maximal tyrosine kinase (TK) activity was significantly reduced in obese WDF rats (505 +/- 82 fmol/min/mg protein) compared to obese Zucker rats (1907 +/- 610 fmol/min/mg protein). Only obese WDF rats displayed a decrease in TK activity per receptor. These observations establish the obese WDF rat as an excellent model for exploring mechanisms of extreme insulin resistance, particularly post-receptor tyrosine kinase-associated defects, in non-insulin dependent diabetes.

Abstract
An accumulation of evidence implicates leptin, insulin, glucocorticoids, proopiomelanocortin (POMC), and neuropeptide Y (NPY) interactions as being integral to metabolic control associated with neuroendocrine-endocrine functioning. Dysfunction of neuroendocrine-endocrine interactions contributes to the metabolic disturbances of diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM-2). Since Zn has a direct impact on the healthy functioning of hormonal and neuropeptide balance, it is possible that altered Zn status and metabolism in DM-2 are involved in some of the metabolic dysfunctions of DM-2.Key words: zinc, insulin, leptin, neuropeptide Y, glucocorticoids, proopiomelanocortin (POMC), diabetes, obesity.

Abstract
Phorbol ester treatment of granulocytes triggers release of superoxide (O2.-) and a concomitant burst of DNA strand breaks. The relationship between the amount of O2.- and the number of DNA breaks has not previously been explored. To quantify the relatively large amount of O2.- generated over a 40-min period by 1 x 10(6) granulocytes/mL, a discontinuous "10-min pulse" method employing cytochrome c was used; 140 nmol O2.- per 1 x 10(6) cells was detected. DNA strand breaks were quantified by fluorimetric analysis of DNA unwinding (FADU). To vary the level of O2.- released by cells, inhibitors of the respiratory burst were used. Sodium fluoride (1-10 mM) and staurosporine (2-10 nM) both inhibited O2.- production. In both cases, however, inhibition of strand breakage was considerably more pronounced than inhibition of O2.-. Zinc chloride (50-200 microM) inhibited both O2.- and DNA breaks, approximately equally. Dinophysistoxin-1 (okadaic acid) inhibited O2.- production more effectively than it inhibited DNA breaks. O2.- dismutes to H2O2, a reactive oxygen species known to cause DNA breaks. The addition of catalase to remove extracellular H2O2 had no effect on DNA breakage. Using pulse field gel electrophoresis, few double-stranded breaks were detected compared to the number detected by FADU, indicating that about 95% of breaks were single-stranded. The level of DNA breaks is not directly related to the amount of extracellular O2.- or H2O2 in PMA-stimulated granulocytes. We conclude that either an intracellular pool of these reactive oxygen species is involved in breakage or that the metabolic inhibitors are affecting a novel strand break pathway.

Abstract
Since the recognition of zinc as an essential trace element in man and animals there has been a remarkable progress in our knowledge of the role of zinc in nutritional physiology, biology and medicine during the last few decades. Highlights in zinc research, mechanisms and homeostatic regulation of zinc absorption, sources of zinc intake, dietary factors and mineral interactions affecting zinc bioavailability are reviewed in the present paper. This is followed by an overview of the biochemical functions of zinc in enzymes, gene expression, endocrinology, immunology and oxidative stress. General signs and metabolic consequences of zinc deficiency as well as excessive intake and toxicity of zinc are summarized. Furthermore, national and international dietary zinc recommendations and different methods to determine the zinc status are discussed.

Abstract
Zinc is one of the most important trace elements in the body for many biological functions; it is required as a catalytic component for more than 200 enzymes, and as a structural constituent of many proteins, hormones, neuropeptides, hormone receptors, and probably polynucleotides. Due to its role in cell division and differentiation, programmed cell death, gene transcription, biomembrane functioning and obviously many enzymatic activities, zinc is considered a major element in assuring the correct functioning of an organism, from the very first embryonic stages to the last periods of life. This biological role together with the many factors that modulate zinc turnover explains on one hand, the variety of clinical and laboratory signs resulting from its reduced bioavailability, and on the other, the high number of human pathologies characterized by alterations in the zinc pool. As zinc supplementation is efficacious in most of these conditions, it is regarded more as an oriented therapeutical support, than a simple dietary integrator. Furthermore, the relevance of zinc status to many age-associated diseases and, according to experimental studies, the aging itself of the major homeostatic mechanisms of the body, i.e., the nervous, neuroendocrine and immune systems, places zinc in a pivotal position in the economy of the aging organism.

Abstract
Tyrosine phosphorylation plays a central role in intracellular signaling by many hormones and growth factors. Termination of the signal is thought to involve dephosphorylation of target proteins by phosphotyrosine phosphatases (PTPase). Soluble protein PTPases from neonatal rat osteoblasts (ROBs) and rat osteosarcoma (ROS 17/2.8) cells were chromatographically distinguished and characterized using 32P-labelled glutamate/tyrosine co-polymer as substrate. Two activities from both cell types were chromatographically separable. The dominant PTPase activity in the presence of 60-125 mM salt (E1), was eluted from phosphocellulose by 180-280 mM NaCl, bound weakly to a strong anion exchange column (QAE-trisacryl), had an apparent Km for [32P]glutamate/tyrosine copolymer of 52 micrograms/ml, was enhanced (5-10-fold, ROS; 1.5-3-fold, ROB) by assay in 125 mM NaCl, had no significant alkaline, acid, or serine phosphatase activity and had an M(r) of 53,000. A second activity (E2) was not retained by phosphocellulose but eluted from QAE-trisacryl in a single peak at 90-130 mM NaCl. It had an apparent Km for [32P]glutamate/tyrosine copolymer of 30 micrograms/ml (ROS) and its activity was not enhanced by NaCl in the assay. Activity E1 from both cells was 50% inhibited by 0.05 microM Na3VO4, 20 microM ZnCl2, or 5-10 microM CoCl2, but not by 1 mM NaF; activity E2 had a similar inhibition profile, but was more sensitive to ZnCl2 (IC50, 5 microM). Co2+ is a relatively non-toxic metal which may be a useful tool for investigating the role of phosphotyrosine in osteoblast proliferation and function. The similarity between the E1 activity from ROS cells and ROBs suggests that ROS cells may be useful in studying PTPase regulation by hormones, but molecular approaches will be required to establish the identity of PTPases in ROBs and ROS cells.

Abstract
In particulate fractions from LSTRA lymphoma cells, tyrosine phosphorylation of the lymphoid specific tyrosine kinase p56lck is elicited by Zn2+ in the absence of other divalent cations. Zn2+ alone also induces autophosphorylation of immunoprecipitated p56lck. The effect of Zn2+ is dose dependent; it is detected at concentrations of Zn2+ as low as 5 microM and reaches a maximum at 100 microM Zn2+. Among other divalent cations tested, Mn2+, and Co2+ to a lesser extent, were also effective. Zn2+ also stimulated p56lck phosphorylation in the presence of Mg2+ ions at physiological concentration, whereas orthovanadate had no effect. These results suggest that Zn2+ activates the autophosphorylation of p56lck; this fact could be related with the stimulating effect of Zn2+ in the activation of T lymphocytes.

Abstract
Spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) have been shown to be both insulin resistant and hyperinsulinemic after oral glucose administration or infusion of exogenous insulin during an insulin suppression test. To determine if this hyperinsulinemia may be due to decreased removal of insulin, the metabolic clearance (k) of insulin was measured in isolated perfused liver, kidney, and hindlimb skeletal muscle from SHR and Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) control rats. The data indicate that the k for insulin removal by liver was similar in SHR and WKY rats, averaging 287 +/- 18 and 271 +/- 10 microliters.min-1.g-1 liver, respectively. In contrast, the k for insulin removal by hindlimbs from SHR was decreased 37% (P less than 0.001) compared with WKY rats (8.6 +/- 0.5 vs. 13.7 +/- 0.7 microliters.min-1.g-1 muscle), and this decrease was not accompanied by decreased binding of insulin to its receptor in plantaris muscle. Although the removal of insulin by glomerular filtration was similar in SHR and WKY rats (653 +/- 64 microliters/min vs. 665 +/- 90 microliters.min-1.kidney-1), total insulin removal by kidney was significantly lower (P less than 0.05) in SHR (710 +/- 78 microliters/min) compared with WKY rats (962 +/- 67 microliters/min), due to decreased peritubular clearance of insulin in SHR (56 +/- 73 vs. 297 +/- 59 microliters/min, P less than 0.05). These findings suggest that the decreased clearance of insulin in SHR rats was possibly not due to impaired hepatic removal of insulin but rather to decreased removal by skeletal muscle and kidneys.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Male Wistar rats of the third generation of rats drinking 200 micrograms Ni2+/mL as NiCl2 in their drinking water were studied. Basal plasma glucose and insulin levels were unchanged. Epididymal adipocytes from Ni2(+)-fed rats showed an increased insulin binding with a slight increase in apparent insulin affinity (ED50: Ni2(+)-fed rats 2.8 x 10(-9) M and controls 5 x 10(-9) M) with no change in insulin receptor numbers (Ni2(+)-fed rats 143,000 +/- 12,000 (6) receptors/cell and controls 126,000 +/- 13,000 (5]. Moreover, a decreased sensitivity to the antilipolytic response of insulin was also observed in adipocytes from Ni2(+)-fed rats. These events could represent actions of Ni2+ both at the receptor and post-receptor insulin levels. Several possible mechanisms involved in the process are suggested.

Abstract
The effect of exercise training on insulin binding and insulin receptor tyrosine kinase activity was studied using detergent solubilized wheat germ agglutinin (WGA)-agarose purified receptor preparations from rat biceps femoris (BF) and tensor fascia lata (TFL) muscles. Insulin receptor activity, as assessed by A14 [125I] insulin binding, was significantly elevated in BF of exercise-trained rats when compared with similar preparations from a sedentary control group. This increase in binding activity was due to change in Bmax not KD. In contrast, neither the Bmax nor the KD of insulin binding to TFL changed with exercise training. The structure of insulin receptors isolated from BF or TFL was unaltered by exercise training as determined by affinity labeling (alpha-subunit, molecular weight (mol wt) approximately 131 kilodaltons [kDa]) and electrophoretic mobility of the alpha- and beta-subunit. Furthermore, basal tyrosine kinase activity was not affected by exercise training in extracts from either BF or TFL. However, the insulin dependent increase in maximal tyrosine kinase activity (Vmax) of the BF, but not TFL, was enhanced by exercise training. Specifically, insulin stimulated phosphorylation of both the beta-subunit of the insulin receptor (auto phosphorylation) and of a synthetic peptide (exogenous phosphorylation) were increased over control values in BF from exercise-trained rats, whereas both measurements of tyrosine kinase activity of TFL from the two experimental groups were similar. In contrast, both insulin-stimulated autophosphorylation and tyrosine kinase activity were significantly decreased in BF of exercise-trained rats when normalized to insulin binding activity. This disassociation was only seen in BF from exercise-trained rats, and was not true of TFL. These data indicate that exercise training can lead to increases in insulin receptor number and tyrosine kinase activity, as well as modifying the relationship between these two variables. The changes noted are not observed in all exercising muscles, and their development seems to depend upon the fiber composition. These results emphasize the complex relationship that exists in the regulation of insulin action at the level of its receptor.

Abstract
Promising progress in understanding the molecular basis of insulin action has been achieved by demonstrating that the insulin receptor is an insulin-sensitive tyrosine kinase. Here we discuss the structure of this receptor kinase and compare it with receptors for related growth factors. We review the known modes to regulate the receptor kinase activity, either through its autophosphorylation (on tyrosine residues) or through its phosphorylation by other kinases (on serine and threonine residues). We discuss the role of the receptor kinase activity in hormone signal transduction in light of results indicating a reduced kinase activity in insulin-resistant states. Finally, studies to identify natural substrates for the insulin receptor kinase are presented. The possible physiological role of these phosphorylated substrates in mediating insulin action is evaluated.

Abstract
1. The zinc and copper concentration of plasma was determined in rainbow trout, lake trout, walleye and whitefish. 2. These fish had mean plasma zinc concentrations ranging from 9.3 to 15.1 ppm and copper concentrations from 0.6 to 1.3 ppm. 3. In rainbow trout, the concentration of zinc and copper is greater in the erythrocyte membrane than in the total erythrocyte. 4. Ultrafilterable plasma zinc and copper concentration in rainbow trout was determined to be 0.03 and 0.019 ppm, respectively. 5. Dialysis of rainbow trout plasma against 20 mM EDTA results in removal of 99% of the zinc and 88% of the copper from plasma proteins.

Abstract
The catalytically active, tyrosyl-phosphorylated form of insulin receptor kinase was isolated from human placenta by a procedure which exploits the propensity for the intact alpha 2 beta 2 form of insulin receptor to undergo insulin-promoted autophosphorylation at tyrosyl residues and concomitant activation as a tyrosyl kinase. Purification of tyrosyl-phosphorylated insulin receptor was effected by adsorption on and elution (with a hapten) from a column of O-phosphotyrosyl-binding antibody immobilized on protein A-Sepharose (Ab-protein A). The starting material for the purification process was protein which had been solubilized from placental membranes and purified by chromatography on immobilized wheat germ agglutinin. After chromatography on Ab-protein A to remove preexisting O-phosphotyrosyl-containing proteins, the fraction which did not adsorb to the Ab-protein A column was incubated with insulin and briefly treated with ATP so as to maximize selective autophosphorylation of insulin receptor. This material was then subjected to chromatography on Ab-protein A. Although the amount of the intact alpha 2 beta 2 form of insulin receptor present in the starting material was only a small fraction of the protein (approximately 0.2%) and only approximately 20% of the insulin-binding forms of the receptor present, it was eluted (with 10 mM p-nitrophenyl phosphate) from the column in greater than or equal to 80% purity. Chromatography on Ab-protein A appears to have an advantage over the alternative affinity chromatographic procedures which utilize immobilized insulin or antiinsulin receptor antibody to adsorb insulin receptor, since these procedures do not resolve the intact alpha 2 beta 2 form of insulin receptor from the nicked insulin-binding forms of the receptor which do not undergo insulin promoted autophosphorylation.
