Abstract
Anthracyclines are a widely used class of chemotherapy in pediatric and adult cancers, however, their use is hampered by the development of cardiotoxic side-effects and ensuing complications, primarily heart failure. Clinically used imaging modalities to screen for cardiotoxicity are mostly echocardiography and occasionally cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. However, the assessment of diastolic and global or segmental systolic function may not be sensitive to detect subclinical or early stages of cardiotoxicity. Multiple studies have scrutinized molecular nuclear imaging strategies to improve the detection of anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity. Anthracyclines can activate all forms of cell death in cardiomyocytes. Injury mechanisms associated with anthracycline usage include apoptosis, necrosis, autophagy, ferroptosis, pyroptosis, reactive oxygen species, mitochondrial dysfunction, as well as cardiac fibrosis and perturbation in sympathetic drive and myocardial blood flow; some of which have been targeted using nuclear probes. This review retraces the pathobiology of anthracycline-induced cardiac injury, details the evidence to date supporting a molecular nuclear imaging strategy, explores disease mechanisms which have not yet been targeted, and proposes a clinical strategy incorporating molecular imaging to improve patient management.

Diabetes Alters the Expression and Translocation of the Insulin-Sensitive Glucose Transporters 4 and 8 in the Atria. PLoS One 2015; 10:e0146033. [PMID: 26720696 PMCID: PMC4697822 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0146033] [Citation(s) in RCA: 54] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2015] [Accepted: 12/12/2015] [Indexed: 01/14/2023] Open
Abstract
Although diabetes has been identified as a major risk factor for atrial fibrillation, little is known about glucose metabolism in the healthy and diabetic atria. Glucose transport into the cell, the rate-limiting step of glucose utilization, is regulated by the Glucose Transporters (GLUTs). Although GLUT4 is the major isoform in the heart, GLUT8 has recently emerged as a novel cardiac isoform. We hypothesized that GLUT-4 and -8 translocation to the atrial cell surface will be regulated by insulin and impaired during insulin-dependent diabetes. GLUT protein content was measured by Western blotting in healthy cardiac myocytes and type 1 (streptozotocin-induced, T1Dx) diabetic rodents. Active cell surface GLUT content was measured using a biotinylated photolabeled assay in the perfused heart. In the healthy atria, insulin stimulation increased both GLUT-4 and -8 translocation to the cell surface (by 100% and 240%, respectively, P<0.05). Upon insulin stimulation, we reported an increase in Akt (Th308 and s473 sites) and AS160 phosphorylation, which was positively (P<0.05) correlated with GLUT4 protein content in the healthy atria. During diabetes, active cell surface GLUT-4 and -8 content was downregulated in the atria (by 70% and 90%, respectively, P<0.05). Akt and AS160 phosphorylation was not impaired in the diabetic atria, suggesting the presence of an intact insulin signaling pathway. This was confirmed by the rescued translocation of GLUT-4 and -8 to the atrial cell surface upon insulin stimulation in the atria of type 1 diabetic subjects. In conclusion, our data suggest that: 1) both GLUT-4 and -8 are insulin-sensitive in the healthy atria through an Akt/AS160 dependent pathway; 2) GLUT-4 and -8 trafficking is impaired in the diabetic atria and rescued by insulin treatment. Alterations in atrial glucose transport may induce perturbations in energy production, which may provide a metabolic substrate for atrial fibrillation during diabetes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Estradiol (E(2)) is known to modulate insulin sensitivity and, consequently, glucose homeostasis. Resveratrol (RSV), an agonist of estrogen receptor (ER), has exerted antihyperglycemic effects in streptozotocin-induced type 1 diabetic rats in our previous study and was also shown to improve insulin resistance in other reports. However, it remains unknown whether activation of ER is involved in the metabolic effects of RSV via insulin-dependent and -independent mechanisms. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Male Sprague-Dawley rats were given a high cholesterol-fructose (HCF) diet for 15 weeks and were treated with RSV for either 15 days or 15 weeks. RESULTS Here, we show that RSV shifts the metabolic characteristics of rats on an HCF diet toward those of rats on a standard diet. RSV treatment increased insulin-stimulated whole-body glucose uptake and steady-state glucose uptake of soleus muscle and liver in HCF-fed rats as well as enhanced membrane trafficking activity of GLUT4 and increased phosphorylation of insulin receptor in insulin-resistant soleus muscles. Interestingly, the phosphorylated ER level in insulin-resistant soleus muscle was significantly elevated in rats with RSV treatment in both basal and euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic conditions. RSV exerted an insulin-like stimulatory effect on isolated soleus muscle, epididymal fat and hepatic tissue, and C2C12 myotubes. The RSV-stimulated glucose uptake in C2C12 myotubes was dependent on extracellular signal-related kinase/p38 (early phase, 1 h) and p38/phosphoinositide 3-kinase (late phase, 14 h) activation. Inhibition of ER abrogated RSV-induced glucose uptake in both early and late phases. CONCLUSIONS Collectively, these results indicate that ER is a key regulator in RSV-stimulating insulin-dependent and -independent glucose uptake, which might account for the protective effects of RSV on diet-induced insulin resistance syndrome.

Abstract
Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is associated with surgical stress, hypothermia, hyperoxia, enhancement of neuroendocrine outflow, and administration of glucogenic catecholamines that are associated with glucogonolysis and glucogenesis that result in hyperglycemia. The hyperglycemic state during CPB has been associated with adverse outcomes, such as infection, neurological impairment, cardiac dysfunction, prolonged hospitalization, and higher mortality rates. This report justifies vigilant monitoring of blood glucose levels and a rational protocol for the treatment of hyperglycemia of all open heart surgical patients that may improve post-CPB surgical outcomes.

Abstract
Pre-diabetic subjects with high insulin secretory capacity have double risk of cardiovascular disease compared with subjects who do not develop insulin-resistance. It is well established that the ability of the myocardium to increase its glycolytic ATP production plays a crucial role in determining cell survival under conditions of ischemia. Up to now, whether the pre-diabetic state reduces the tolerance of the heart to ischemia by affecting its ability to increase its energy production through glycolysis remains unknown. The aim of the present study was to assess whether insulin resistance affects the ability of the myocardium to increase glycolysis under ischemic conditions. Male Wistar rats were fed for 8 weeks a fructose-enriched (33%) diet to induce a pre-diabetic state. Hearts were isolated and subjected to ex-vivo low-flow (2%) ischemia for 30 min. The fructose diet increased sarcolemmal GLUT4 localisation in myocardial cells under basal conditions compared with controls. This effect was not accompanied by increased glucose utilisation. Ischemia induced the translocation of GLUT4 to the plasma membrane in controls but did not significantly modify the distribution of these transporters in pre-diabetic hearts. Glycolytic flux under ischemic conditions was significantly lower in fructose-fed rat hearts compared with controls. The reduction of glycolytic flux during ischemia in fructose-fed rat hearts was not due to metabolic inhibition downstream hexokinase II since no cardiac accumulation of glucose-6-phosphate was detected. In conclusion, our results suggest that the pre-diabetic state reduces the tolerance of the myocardium to ischemia by decreasing glycolytic flux adaptation.

Abstract
The metabolic syndrome is characterized by a blunted insulin-mediated glucose uptake in various cell types. We compared the glucose uptake characteristics of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-transformed lymphoblasts obtained from young men with vs without metabolic and cardiovascular evidence of metabolic syndrome. From a population of 218 men, 20- to 25-year-old, 10 men with a systolic blood pressure (BP) > or =130 mm Hg and family history of hypertension were assigned to a high BP (HBP) group, and 10 with a BP < or =110 mm Hg, and no family history of hypertension was assigned to a low BP (LBP) group. Multiple clinical and metabolic characteristics were examined in both groups and compared. Peripheral lymphocytes from HBP and LBP subjects were EBV-transformed, and the glucose transporter (Glut)-mediated glucose uptake from each group was compared in lymphoblasts. Body mass index, fasting glucose, immunoreactive insulin, insulin resistance index based on a homeostasis model assessment (HOMA-R), and total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol were significantly higher in the HBP than the LBP subgroup (whole-body insulin resistance). Baseline Glut-mediated and Glut-mediated insulin-stimulated glucose uptake by lymphoblasts from the HBP group were significantly lower than by lymphoblasts from the LBP group (cellular insulin resistance). The net increment in Glut-mediated glucose uptake by insulin was inversely correlated with HOMA-R. In conclusion, cellular insulin resistance in EBV-transformed lymphoblasts is associated with young Japanese subjects with HBP. The net increment in Glut-mediated glucose uptake by insulin in lymphoblasts may be a useful intermediate phenotype to study genetic aspects of the metabolic syndrome.

Abstract
Since it was reported in 1991 by Schaffer et al. that myocardial contractile responsiveness was altered in NIDDM in the absence of alterations in the beta-adrenergic receptor population, researchers have been seeking a post-receptor defect to account for this. The present study addresses this issue by comparing alterations occurring in the myocardial beta-receptor signalling pathway in two different models of rat NIDDM, as well as the response of the pathway after stimulation with isoproterenol in the presence or absence of insulin. The characteristics of the beta-receptor population, adenylyl cyclase activity and cAMP levels were determined at three different ages. The main results demonstrate that: (i) the two models of NIDDM myocardium differ biochemically; (ii) the beta-adrenergic signalling system of the insulin deficient model was altered more than the hyperinsulinemic model and (iii) the observed exaggerated cAMP response of NIDDM hearts after stimulation with a beta-adrenergic agonist is in contrast with lower responsivity.

Abstract
Ventricular fibrillation (VF) remains the most common cardiac arrest heart rhythm. Defibrillation is the primary treatment and is very effective if delivered early within a few minutes of onset of VF. However, successful treatment of VF becomes increasingly more difficult when the duration of VF exceeds 4 minutes. Classically, successful cardiac arrest resuscitation has been thought of as simply achieving restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). However, this traditional approach fails to consider the high early post-cardiac arrest mortality and morbidity and ignores the reperfusion injuries, which are manifest in the heart and brain. More recently, resuscitation from cardiac arrest has been divided into two phases; phase I, achieving ROSC, and phase II, treatment of reperfusion injury. The focus in both phases of resuscitation remains the heart and brain, as prolonged VF remains primarily a two-organ disease. These two organs are most sensitive to oxygen and substrate deprivation and account for the vast majority of early post-resuscitation mortality and morbidity. This review focuses first on the initial resuscitation (achieving ROSC) and then on the reperfusion issues affecting the heart and brain.

Abstract
Glucose uptake, glut 4 translocation and activation of protein kinase B were measured in Langendorff perfused hearts from (i) Wistar control, (ii) lean, neonatal Streptozotocin induced (Stz) and (iii) Zucker (fa/fa) obese diabetic rats of 10-12 weeks old. Hearts were subjected to stimulation with insulin, isoproterenol (beta-adrenergic agonist) or a combination of insulin and isoproterenol, during the perfusion protocol. Basal myocardial glucose uptake was impaired in both diabetic models, but could be stimulated significantly by insulin. In the Zucker rats, the time-course of insulin action was delayed. Insulin and beta-stimulation of glucose uptake were not additive. Evaluation of sarcolemmal membranes from these hearts showed that the affinity of glut 4 was significantly lower in the Zucker but not in the Stz hearts while a reduced affinity found with a combination of insulin and beta-stimulation in control hearts, was absent in both diabetic models. Total membrane lysates were analyzed for glut 4 expression while an intracellular component was generated to quantify translocation on stimulation as well as activity of protein kinase B (PKB). At this age, the neonatal Streptozotocin induced diabetic animals presented with more faulty regulation concerning adrenergic stimulated effects on elements of this signal transduction pathway while the Zucker fa/fa animals showed larger deviations in insulin stimulated effects. The overall response of the Zucker myocardium was poorer than that of the Stz group. No significant modulation of beta-adrenergic signaling on insulin stimulated glucose uptake was found. The PI-3-kinase inhibitor wortmannin, could abolish glucose uptake as well as PKB activation elicited by both insulin and isoproterenol.

Abstract
Metabolic interventions that promote glucose use during ischemia have been shown to protect ischemic myocardium and improve functional recovery on reperfusion. We evaluated whether the cardioprotection afforded by high glucose during low-flow ischemia is associated with changes in the sarcolemmal content of glucose transporters, specifically GLUT-4. Isolated rat hearts were paced at 300 beats/min and perfused under normal glucose (5 mM) or high glucose (10 mM) conditions in buffer containing 0.4 mM albumin, 0.4 mM palmitate, and 70 mU/l insulin and subjected to 50 min of low-flow ischemia and 60 min of reperfusion. To determine the importance of insulin-sensitive glucose transporters in mediating cardioprotection, a separate group of hearts were perfused in the presence of cytochalasin B (10 microM), a preferential inhibitor of insulin-sensitive glucose transporters. Ischemic contracture during low-flow ischemia and creatine kinase release on reperfusion was decreased, and the percent recovery of left ventricular function with reperfusion was enhanced in hearts perfused with high glucose (P < 0.03). Hearts perfused with high glucose exhibited increased GLUT-4 protein expression in the sarcolemmal membrane compared with control hearts under baseline conditions, and these changes were additive with low-flow ischemia. In addition, high glucose did not affect the baseline distribution of sarcolemmal GLUT-1 and blunted any changes with low-flow ischemia. These salutary effects were abolished when glucose transporters are blocked with cytochalasin B. These data demonstrate that protection of ischemic myocardium by high glucose is associated with increased sarcolemmal content of the insulin-sensitive GLUT-4 and suggest a target for the protection of jeopardized myocardium.

Abstract
In target organs, insulin switches substrate utilization from free fatty acids to glucose, a change that: (i) is oxygen-efficient; (ii) repletes glycogen stores; (iii) removes potentially toxic fatty acids; and (iv) restores intracellular potassium. During or after an ischaemic challenge, the insulin metabolic mode should protect cellular functions provided that insulin can reach the ischaemic tissue. Insulin, however, also exerts non-metabolic effects, such as membrane hyperpolarization, the stimulation of adrenergic activity, and inhibition of parasympathetic tone, which may counter its beneficial metabolic actions. The net balance between the favourable and unfavourable effects of insulin on ischaemic tissues depends on: (i) the dose-response of the various effects; (ii) the presence of insulin resistance; (iii) the coexistence of hyperglycaemia; and (iv) the stage of ischaemic tissue damage. At present, a role for glucose-insulin-potassium infusions in clinical practice seems to be clearly established in the case of diabetic patients with acute coronary syndromes, and in patients undergoing urgent or elective cardiac surgery. Its role as an adjunctive therapy in the management of myocardial infarction in non-diabetic individuals has been tested in several clinical trials; however, the evidence emerging from them is inconclusive.

Abstract
The intracellular signaling mechanism of the ischemia-stimulated glucose transporter (GLUT) translocation in the heart is not yet characterized. It has been suggested that catecholamines released during ischemia may be involved in this pathway. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the contribution of alpha-adrenoceptors and beta-adrenoceptors to ischemia-mediated GLUT4 and GLUT1 translocation in the isolated, Langendorff-perfused rat heart. Additionally, GLUT translocation was studied in response to catecholamine stimulation with phenylephrine (Phy) and isoproterenol (Iso). The results were compared with myocardial uptake of glucose analogue [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG). Subcellular analysis of GLUT4 and GLUT1 protein on plasma membrane vesicles (PM) and intracellular membrane vesicles (IM) using membrane preparation and immunoblotting revealed that alpha- and beta-receptor agonists stimulated GLUT4 translocation from IM to PM (2.5-fold for Phy and 2.1-fold for Iso, P<0.05 versus control), which was completely inhibited by phentolamine (Phe) and propranolol (Pro), respectively. Plasmalemmal GLUT1 moderately rose after Iso exposure, and this was prevented by Pro. In contrast, ischemia-stimulated GLUT4 translocation (2.2-fold, P<0.05 versus control) was only inhibited by alpha-adrenergic antagonist Phe but not by beta-adrenergic antagonist Pro. Similarly, Phe but not Pro inhibited ischemia-stimulated GLUT1 translocation. GLUT data were confirmed by FDG uptake monitored using bismuth germanate detectors. The catecholamine-stimulated FDG uptake (6.9-fold for Phy and 8.9-fold for Iso) was significantly inhibited by Phe and Pro; however, only Phe but not Pro significantly reduced the ischemia-induced 2.5-fold increase in FDG uptake (P<0.05 versus ischemia). This study suggests that alpha-adrenoceptor stimulation may play a role in the ischemia-mediated increase in glucose transporter trafficking leading to the stimulation of FDG uptake in the isolated, perfused rat heart, whereas beta-adrenergic activation does not participate in this signaling pathway.

Abstract
We tested the hypothesis that low-flow ischemia increases glucose uptake and reduces insulin responsiveness. Working hearts from fasted rats were perfused with buffer containing glucose alone or glucose plus a second substrate (lactate, octanoate, or beta-hydroxybutyrate). Rates of glucose uptake were measured by 3H2O production from [2-3H]glucose. After 15 min of perfusion at a physiological workload, hearts were subjected to low-flow ischemia for 45 min, after which they were returned to control conditions for another 30 min. Insulin (1 mU/ml) was added before, during, or after the ischemic period. Cardiac power decreased by 70% with ischemia and returned to preischemic values on reperfusion in all groups. Low-flow ischemia increased lactate production, but the rate of glucose uptake during ischemia increased only when a second substrate was present. Hearts remained insulin responsive under all conditions. Insulin doubled glucose uptake when added under control conditions, during low-flow ischemia, and at the onset of the postischemic period. Insulin also increased net glycogen synthesis in postischemic hearts perfused with glucose and a second substrate. Thus insulin stimulates glucose uptake in normal and ischemic hearts of fasted rats, whereas ischemia stimulates glucose uptake only in the presence of a cosubstrate. The results are consistent with two separate intracellular signaling pathways for hexose transport, one that is sensitive to the metabolic requirements of the heart and another that is sensitive to insulin.

Abstract
Cardiac muscle is characterized by a high rate of glucose consumption. In the absence of insulin, glucose transport into cardiomyocytes limits the rate of glucose utilization and therefore it is important to understand the regulation of glucose transporters. Cardiac muscle cells express 2 distinct glucose transporters, GLUT4 and GLUT1; although GLUT4 is quantitatively the more important glucose transporter expressed in heart, GLUT1 is also expressed at a substantial level. In isolated rat cardiomyocytes, insulin acutely stimulates glucose transport and translocates both GLUT4 and GLUT1 from an intracellular site to the cell surface. Recent evidence indicates the existence of at least 2 distinct intracellular membrane populations enriched in GLUT4 with a different protein composition. Elucidation of the intracellular location of these 2 GLUT4 vesicle pools in cardiac myocytes, their role in GLUT4 trafficking, and their relation to insulin-induced GLUT4 translocation needs to be addressed.

Abstract
Many clinical and laboratory studies suggest that an increase in glucose uptake and metabolism by ischemic myocardium helps protect myocardial cells from irreversible injury. We have examined whether increased sarcolemmal abundance of cardiomyocyte glucose transporters plays a role in this adaptive response. We have shown that acute myocardial ischemia in perfused rat hearts results in increased sarcolemmal abundance of the major glucose transporter, GLUT4, by causing translocation of GLUT4 molecules from an intracellular compartment to the sarcolemma. In nonischemic control hearts only 18 +/- 2.8% of GLUT4 molecules were on the sarcolemma whereas in ischemic hearts this increased to 41 +/- 9.3%. Insulin also caused translocation of GLUT4 molecules to the sarcolemma, and resulted in 61 +/- 2.6% of GLUT4 molecules on the sarcolemma. The combination of ischemia and insulin did not result in additive increases in sarcolemmal GLUT4 abundance. In more persistent or chronic ischemia, the other major myocardial glucose transporter, GLUT1, appears to play an important role. The mRNA for this transporter, which is constitutively expressed on cardiomyocyte sarcolemma, was increased 2.0-fold in regions of hibernating myocardium in humans with coronary heart disease as well as in persistently hypoxic rat neonatal cardiomyocytes in primary culture. In neither of these conditions was GLUT4 mRNA expression increased. Thus, acute myocardial ischemia increases sarcolemmal glucose transporter abundance mainly by translocating previously synthesized GLUT4 molecules from an intracellular compartment, whereas more chronic ischemia also increases GLUT1 abundance via enhanced mRNA expression. Increased GLUT1 and GLUT4 abundance may participate in the augmented glucose uptake of ischemic myocardium and therefore may help protect ischemic myocardium from irreversible injury.

Abstract
A glucose analogue labelled with iodine-123 in position 6 has been synthesized: [123I]-6-deoxy-6-iodo-D-glucose (6DIG). The aim of this study was to examine its biological behaviour in order to assess whether it could be used to evaluate glucose transport with SPECT. To establish whether 6DIG enters the cells using the glucose transporter, four biological models have been used: human erythrocytes in suspension, neonatal rat cardiomyocytes in culture, isolated perfused rat hearts, and biodistribution in mice. 6DIG competed with D-glucose to enter the cells and its entry was increased by insulin and inhibited in the presence of cytochalasin B. The biological behaviour of 6DIG was similar to that of 3-O-methyl-D-glucose. 6DIG is a tracer of glucose transport which is very promising for clinical studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Myocardial ischemia increases heart glucose utilization in vivo. However, whether low-flow ischemia leads to the translocation of glucose transporter (GLUT)-4 and/or GLUT-1 to the sarcolemma in vivo is unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS In a canine model, we evaluated myocardial glucose metabolism in vivo and the distribution of GLUT-4 and GLUT-1 by use of immunoblotting of sarcolemma and intracellular membranes and immunofluorescence localization with confocal microscopy. In vivo glucose extraction increased fivefold (P < .001) and was associated with net lactate release in the ischemic region. Ischemia led to an increase in the sarcolemma content of both GLUT-4 (15 +/- 2% to 30 +/- 3%, P < .02) and GLUT-1 (41 +/- 4% to 58 +/- 3%, P < .03) compared with the nonischemic region and to a parallel decrease in their intracellular contents. Immunofluorescence demonstrated the presence of both GLUT-4 and GLUT-1 on cardiac myocytes. GLUT-1 had a more prominent cell surface pattern than GLUT-4, which was primarily intracellular in the nonischemic region. However, significant GLUT-4 surface labeling was found in the ischemic region. CONCLUSIONS Translocation of the insulin-responsive GLUT-4 transporter from an intracellular storage pool to the sarcolemma occurs in vivo during acute low-flow ischemia. GLUT-1 is also present in an intracellular storage pool from which it undergoes translocation to the sarcolemma in response to ischemia. These results indicate that both GLUT-1 and GLUT-4 are important in ischemia-mediated myocardial glucose uptake in vivo.

Abstract
The purpose of this investigation was to assess the effects of hyperglycemia, in the absence of changes in plasma insulin and arterial free fatty acid (FFA) levels, on interstitial glucose levels and glucose uptake across the left ventricular wall during ischemia in domestic swine. Insulin secretion was suppressed with a continuous infusion of somatostatin. Arterial FFA levels remained stable due to the suppression of insulin. Microdialysis probes were used to estimate changes in interstitial glucose and lactate, and were placed in the subepicardium and the subendocardium of the left anterior descending ([LAD] ischemic) coronary artery perfusion bed and in the midmyocardium of the circumflex ([CFX] nonischemic) perfusion bed. The LAD coronary artery was cannulated and perfused with blood from the femoral artery through an extracorporal perfusion circuit. Ischemia was induced in the LAD perfusion bed by reducing the flow of the LAD perfusion pump by 60% for 50 minutes, and was followed by 30 minutes of reperfusion. Twenty minutes into the ischemic period, seven animals were given a bolus injection of 50% glucose (200 mg/kg) followed by a glucose infusion (10 mg/kg/min), resulting in an increase in arterial glucose levels from 5 to 13 mmol/L in the hyperglycemic group. Hyperglycemia resulted in a marked increase in dialysate glucose during ischemia and a greater than twofold increase in glucose extraction and uptake. Dialysate glucose correlated with plasma glucose in all three perfusion beds. In conclusion, hyperglycemia, in the absence of an increase in insulin and a decrease in arterial FFA, resulted in a doubling of glucose extraction, delivery, and uptake, which corresponded to the twofold elevation in interstitial glucose during ischemia.

Abstract
In cardiomyocytes glucose transport is activated not only by insulin but also by contractile activity that causes translocation of the glucose transporter, GLUT-4, from intracellular vesicles to the plasma membrane. The latter effect may possibly be mediated by intracellular Ca2+, as suggested by previous studies. To investigate the role of Ca2+, we permeabilized neonatal rat myocytes with alpha-toxin and incubated them for 1 h either at a pCa (i.e.--log10 [Ca2+]) of 8 (control) or at a pCa of 5 in the presence of adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP). Translocation of GLUT-4 was then monitored by a novel immunoprecipitation method using a peptide antibody directed against an exofacial (extracellular) loop of GLUT-4 (residues 58-80). Incorporation of GLUT-4 into the plasmalemma was stimulated 1.8-fold by 10 microM Ca2+ and 1.7-fold by insulin (as in the case of intact cells). The insulin effect was Ca2+ independent, i.e. it was identical in the absence and presence of Ca2+ (10 microM). Guanosine 5'-O-(3-thio-triphosphate) (GTP[gamma S]), which was inactive in intact cells, also caused translocation of GLUT-4 in permeabilized cardiomyocytes. Thus, incorporation of GLUT-4 into the plasma membrane was enhanced 2.5-fold by 200 microM GTP[gamma S] in the virtual absence of Ca2+ (pCa 8) and even 3.5-fold at 10 microM free Ca2+. We conclude that an increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentration increases GLUT-4 translocation of (permeabilized) cardiomyocytes to a similar extent as do insulin and GTP[gamma S] in the absence of Ca2+, but that the effects of Ca2+ and GTP[gamma S] may be additive.

Abstract
We have used a photoaffinity label to quantify cell surface GLUT4 glucose transporters in isolated rat soleus muscles. In this system, insulin stimulated an 8.6-fold increase in 3-O-methylglucose glucose transport, while photolabelled GLUT4 increased 8-fold. These results demonstrate that the insulin-stimulated increase in glucose transport activity in skeletal muscle can be accounted for by an increase in surface-accessible GLUT4 content.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute myocardial ischemia is accompanied by an increase in glucose uptake and metabolism, which appears to be important in protecting myocardial cells from irreversible ischemic injury. Because insulin augments myocardial glucose uptake by inducing the translocation of glucose transporters from an intracellular compartment to the plasma membrane, we hypothesized that acute ischemia would trigger a similar translocation. METHODS AND RESULTS We used a subcellular fractionation method to separate intracellular membrane and plasma membranes from control, ischemic, and hypoxic Langendorff-isolated perfused rat hearts and determined the expression of the major myocardial glucose transporter, GLUT4, in these separated membrane fractions. We found that translocation of GLUT4 molecules occurred in ischemic, hypoxic, and insulin-treated hearts and in hearts that underwent ischemia plus insulin treatment. The percentages of GLUT4 molecules present on the plasma membrane in the different conditions were as follows: control, 18.0 +/- 2.8%; ischemia, 41.3 +/- 9.4%; hypoxia, 31.1 +/- 2.9%; insulin, 61.1 +/- 2.6%; and ischemia plus insulin, 66.8 +/- 5.7%. Among the statistically significant differences in these values were the difference between control and ischemia and the difference between ischemia alone and insulin plus ischemia. CONCLUSIONS Ischemia causes substantial translocation of GLUT4 molecules to the plasma membrane of cardiac myocytes. A combination of insulin plus ischemia stimulates an even greater degree of GLUT4 translocation. GLUT4 translocation is likely to mediate at least part of the increased glucose uptake of ischemic myocardium and may be a mechanism for the cardioprotective effect of insulin during acute myocardial ischemia.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the stimulating effects of sulfhydryl reagents on glucose transport in isolated rat heart muscle cells and to compare them with the action of insulin. Low concentrations of the sulfhydryl oxidants hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and diamide (5-100 microM), but also of phenylarsine oxide (PAO) (0.5-3 microM), that is known to specifically react with vicinal SH-groups, stimulated the rate of 2-deoxy-D-glucose uptake by a factor of 4 to 8 in these cells, while higher concentrations were inhibitory. The stimulating effects of H2O2 or diamide, and, to a significantly lesser extent, those of PAO or insulin, were depressed in cells pretreated with the sulfhydryl-alkylating agent N-ethylmaleimide (56-100 microM). H2O2 raised the Vmax and lowered the Km of 3-O-methyl-D-glucose uptake, while PAO or insulin solely increased Vmax. The increase in glucose transport caused by H2O2 was antagonized by the beta-adrenergic agonist isoprenaline (1 microM) or by a membrane-permeant cyclic AMP analog, whereas the effects of PAO or insulin were not altered. The action of H2O2 was additive with the stimulation induced by the protein phosphatase inhibitors okadaic acid (1 microM) or vanadate (6 mM), whereas the responses to PAO or insulin were reduced in the presence of these agents. Finally, H2O2 and PAO, but not insulin, acted additively with the protein kinase C ligand phorbol myristate acetate (0.8 microM) and with phospholipase C (0.03 units/ml). We conclude that, in cardiac myocytes, H2O2, on the one hand, and PAO (and possibly insulin), on the other hand, stimulate glucose transport via at least two distinct, SH-dependent pathways. These pathways, in turn, differ from a protein kinase C- and from a phospholipase C-mediated mechanism.

Abstract
Field stimulation of isolated adult ventricular cardiomyocytes was used to study the effect of contractile activity on 3-O-methylglucose transport and the subcellular distribution of Glut4. Cells contracting at a frequency of 1 Hz for 30 min exhibited unaltered basal and insulin-stimulated rates of glucose transport when compared to resting cells. However, at 5 Hz 3-O-methylglucose transport increased to 224% of control after 5 min. Under these conditions insulin was unable to produce a significant additional stimulation of glucose transport. Immunoblotting with an anti-Glut4 polyclonal antibody showed that both insulin and contraction (5 Hz) increased the amount of Glut4 in a plasma membrane fraction by about 8-fold with a parallel decrease in an intracellular membrane fraction by 60-65%. These data suggest the existence of an identical insulin- and contraction-recruitable Glut4 transporter pool in cardiomyocytes.

Abstract
The effect of culture conditions simulating hypo- and hyper-glycaemia on glucose transport and on the subcellular localization of the glucose transporter GLUT-1 was studied in L8 myocytes. Incubation of the cells with 20 mM-glucose for 25 h decreased the rate of 2-deoxy-D-[3H]glucose (dGlc) uptake to 0.106 +/- 0.016 nmol/min per 10(6) cells compared with 0.212 +/- 0.025 in cells maintained at 2 mM-glucose (final glucose concentrations at the end of the incubation period were 16-17 mM and 0.7-1.0 mM respectively). An additional 5 h incubation of these cells with medium containing the opposite glucose concentration (i.e. change from 17 mM to 1 mM and from 1 mM to 17 mM) increased the transport rate to 0.172 +/- 0.033 nmol/min per 10(6) cells in cultures initially conditioned at high glucose, and decreased the transport to 0.125 +/- 0.029 in those conditioned at low glucose. Plasma-membrane- and microsomal-membrane-enriched fractions were prepared from these cells for [3H]cytochalasin B (CB) binding and Western-blot analysis with antibodies against GLUT-1 and GLUT-4. A decrease in glucose concentration increased the number of D-glucose-displaceable CB-binding sites and GLUT-1 protein in the plasma-membrane fraction to the same extent as the increase in dGlc transport. Under downregulatory conditions, the lower dGlc-transport capacity could be accounted for by a decreased number of transporters in the plasma membrane of the cells. No apparent modification of the intrinsic activity of the glucose transporters was observed in up- or down-regulated cells. Under downregulatory conditions, the CB-binding data indicated a large increase in the number of transporters in the intracellular membranes of the myocytes. Western blots of the same membranes also indicated an increase in GLUT-1 content. However, the interaction of the intracellular GLUT-1 protein with the polyclonal antibodies was much weaker than that of the plasma-membrane-associated GLUT-1. The GLUT-4 concentration was too low to permit quantification in membrane fractions. Our findings suggest that autoregulation of glucose transport in L8 myocytes is accompanied by parallel changes in the number of GLUT-1 transporters in the plasma membrane, and that the rate of transporter degradation may be augmented in the upregulated myocytes. These glucose-induced changes are fully reversible.

Abstract
Starvation (48 h) decreased the concentration of mRNA of the insulin-responsive glucose transporter isoform (GLUT 4) in interscapular brown adipose tissue (IBAT) (56%) and tibialis anterior (10%). Despite dramatic [7-fold (tibialis anterior) and 40-fold (IBAT)] increases in glucose utilization after 2 and 4 h of chow re-feeding, no significant changes in GLUT 4 mRNA concentration were observed in these tissues over this re-feeding period. The results exclude changes in GLUT 4 mRNA concentration in mediating the responses of glucose transport in these tissues to acute re-feeding after prolonged starvation.

Abstract
The uptake of 2-deoxyglucose by perfused rat hearts was compared to the distribution of the insulin-regulatable glucose transporter (GLUT4) in membrane preparations from the same hearts. The hearts were treated with the alpha-adrenergic combination of epinephrine + propranolol, the beta-adrenergic agonist isoproterenol, high (8 mM) Ca2+ concentrations, insulin and the alpha adrenergic combination or insulin alone. Epinephrine (1 microM) + propranolol (10 microM), isoproterenol (10 microM), high Ca2+, insulin (1 microM) + epinephrine (1 microM) + propranolol (10 microM) and insulin (1 microM) each led to an increase in 2-deoxyglucose uptake and a shift in the recovery of the GLUT4 from a high-speed pellet membrane fraction (putatively intracellular) to a low-speed pellet membrane fraction (putatively sarcolemmal). There were significant correlations (r = -0.673, P less than 0.001) between the stimulation of 2-deoxyglucose uptake and the loss of GLUT4 from the intracellular membrane fraction, or the increase in the sarcolemmal fraction. The data provide evidence that the GLUT4 is translocated by agents that stimulate glucose transport in heart, and therefore this mechanism is not restricted to insulin.

Abstract
To clarify the role of the ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH)-sympathetic nervous system in insulin-independent glucose uptake in peripheral tissues, tissue glucose uptake was assessed in vivo by the 2-[3H]deoxyglucose method during electrical stimulation of the VMH in anesthetized rats. VMH stimulation significantly increased the rate constant of glucose uptake in brown adipose tissue (BAT), heart and skeletal muscles, but not in white adipose tissue and brain. The effect of VMH stimulation on glucose uptake in BAT was abolished by local sympathetic denervation, indicating that the increase in glucose uptake is mediated by the sympathetic nerves. Electrical stimulation of the lateral hypothalamus, on the other hand, had no appreciable effects on 2-[3H]deoxyglucose uptake in any tissues. Changes in glucose transporters after VMH stimulation were also examined by the [3H]cytochalasin B binding method using sarcolemmal membranes isolated from heart muscle. Scatchard analysis of cytochalasin B binding indicated that VMH stimulation did not alter both the number and affinity (dissociation constant) of glucose transporters in the heart sarcolemmal membranes, whereas insulin administration increased the number of transporters in the membranes. These results suggest that the mechanism by which VMH stimulation increases glucose uptake in muscle is different from that of insulin.

Abstract
The insulin-regulated glucose transporter GLUT4 was immunolocalized in rat cardiac muscle under conditions of basal and stimulated glucose uptake, achieved by fasting and a combined exercise/insulin stimulus, respectively. In basal myocytes there was very little (less than 1%) GLUT4 in the different domains of the plasma membrane (sarcolemma, intercalated disk, and transverse tubular system). GLUT4 was localized in small tubulo-vesicular elements that occur predominantly near the sarcolemma and the transverse tubular system and in the trans-Golgi region. Upon stimulation approximately 42% of GLUT4 was found in the plasma membrane. Each domain of the plasma membrane contributed equally to this effect. GLUT4-positive, clathrin-coated pits were also present at each cell surface domain. The remainder of the labeling was in tubulo-vesicular elements at the same sites as in basal cells and in the intercalated disk areas. The localization of GLUT4 in cardiac myocytes is essentially the same as in brown adipocytes, skeletal muscle, and white adipocytes. We conclude that increased glucose transport in muscle and fat is accounted for by translocation of GLUT4 from the intracellular tubulo-vesicular elements to the plasma membrane. The labeling of coated pits indicates that in stimulated myocytes, as in adipocytes, GLUT4 recycles constantly between the endosomal compartment and the plasma membrane and that stimulation of the exocytotic rate constant is likely the major mechanism for GLUT4 translocation.

Abstract
Freshly isolated adipocytes or cardiac myocytes appear to be subject to unspecific stimulation during isolation and subsequent handling, e.g. with respect to glucose transport. We have developed a modified procedure that yields rat cardiomyocytes with a very low basal, i.e. non stimulated hexose uptake rate (ca. 3 pmol * s-1 * mg protein-1 at 1 mM sugar), as compared to data reported by others. This low value correlates with the reported oxygen consumption of non-beating, isolated rat hearts, when these are perfused with glucose as the only substrate. The basal rate of glucose uptake in our quiescent cardiomyocytes is slightly lower than the value measured by others in beating rat hearts in vivo. Insulin (10 nM) stimulates 2-deoxy-D-glucose uptake 8- to 20-fold and 3-O-methyl-D-glucose uptake 14- to 20-fold, as compared to control. This insulin effect is markedly larger than that usually observed in isolated cardiomyocytes, but it is similar in magnitude to the stimulation of glucose transport reported for isolated, perfused rat hearts. In these cells, new stimulatory effects on the glucose transport, e.g. that of sulfhydryl reagents like phenylarsine oxide, become apparent. We conclude that the cardiomyocytes obtained by this modified method exhibit a basal glucose transport rate that is close to physiological values. These cells represent a new highly responsive model to detect and to investigate the effects of glucose transport stimulators (insulin, contraction etc.).

Abstract
The cause of reduced insulin-stimulated glucose transport in skeletal muscle of diabetic rats was investigated. Basal and insulin-stimulated glucose uptake into hindquarter muscles of 7-day diabetic rats were 70% and 50% lower, respectively, than in nondiabetic controls. Subcellular fractionation of hindquarter muscles yielded total crude membranes, plasma membranes and intracellular membranes. The number of GLUT-4 glucose transporters was lower in crude membranes, plasma membranes and intracellular membranes, relative to non-diabetic rat muscles. These results were paralleled by reductions in D-glucose-protectable binding of cytochalasin B. Insulin caused a redistribution of GLUT-4 transporters from intracellular membranes to plasma membranes, in both control and diabetic rat muscles. This redistribution was also recorded using binding of cytochalasin B. The insulin-dependent decrement in glucose transporters in intracellular membranes was similar for both animal groups, but the gain and final amount of transporters in the plasma membrane were 50% lower in the diabetic group. The results suggest that insulin signalling and recruitment of GLUT-4 glucose transporters occur in diabetic rat muscle, and that the diminished insulin response may be due to fewer glucose transporters operating in the muscle plasma membrane.

Abstract
Organelle translocations are essential cellular processes. Although much progress has been made with regards to microtubule-dependent organelle translocations, little is known about actin-dependent organelle translocation(s) except cytoplasmic streaming in Nitella. On the other hand, there is indirect evidence that actin-dependent organelle translocation may be involved in secretion. We now present evidence that the dispersion of the pigment organelles carotenoid droplets in goldfish xanthophores is apparently actin dependent and that this process may be related to secretory processes. We show that, in digitonin-permeabilized goldfish xanthophores, the pigment organelles can be induced to disperse by a combination of cAMP, ATP, and xanthophore cytosol. This induced dispersion is inhibited by DNase I, phalloidin, or anti-actin, but not by anti-tubulin or anti-intermediate filament proteins, suggesting a dependence on F-actin. Since the dispersion of carotenoid droplets and secretion both involve outward translocation of organelles, we tested the possibility that cytosols of secretory tissues have similar activity. Such activity was indeed found in different tissues, apparently in parallel with the secretory activity of the tissues, suggesting that pigment dispersion in xanthophores and some secretory processes may share a common component.

Abstract
We reported previously that, in cultured goldfish xanthophores, dispersion of aggregated carotenoid droplets (CDs) requires the specific phosphorylation of the CD protein p57 by a cAMP-dependent protein kinase and the presence of cytosol. We report here that, in permeabilized cells, the addition of the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase and ATP phosphorylates p57 and converts the CDs from an immobile to a mobile state (first stage of CD dispersion). However, the CDs are restricted to the vicinity of the original site of the CD aggregate and do not actually disperse (second stage of CD dispersion) unless cytosol is also added. We propose that this process may be related to aspects of secretory processes.

Abstract
The mechanism underlying the increase in glucose uptake in response to muscular contraction is not known, although it has been established that the change does not require insulin. It is our hypothesis that exercise, like insulin, stimulates translocation of glucose transporters to the plasma membrane. To test this hypothesis an experiment was performed to determine whether glucose transporters are translocated from an intracellular membrane to the plasma membrane during exercise. Untrained male rats weighing approximately 250 g were exercised by treadmill running for 2 h at 25 m/min. They were killed immediately after completion of exercise, and the gastrocnemius and quadriceps muscles were quickly removed. Sedentary animals were treated in the same way. Plasma and intracellular membranes were isolated by sucrose density gradient centrifugation and cytochalasin B binding assays were performed. Exercise resulted in a redistribution of glucose transporters from the intracellular membrane to the plasma membrane. The ratio of cytochalasin B binding sites in the membrane fractions (intracellular/plasma membrane) was 3.2 +/- 0.6 in rested animals and 1.3 +/- 0.3 after exercise. The concentration of glucose transporters was increased in the plasma membrane (from 19.8 +/- 1.8 to 30.4 +/- 3.9 pmol/mg protein) and decreased in the intracellular membrane (from 20.7 +/- 3.0 to 10.8 +/- 1.1 pmol/mg protein) in response to exercise. These results suggest that at least part of the increase in glucose uptake that occurs during exercise is the result of a redistribution of glucose transporters to the plasma membrane.

Abstract
The aim of our work was to investigate a possible role of protein kinase C (PKC) in insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in mouse skeletal muscle, and to search for a defect in PKC activation in insulin resistance found in obesity. In isolated soleus muscle of lean mice, insulin (100 nM) and 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) (1 microM) acutely stimulated glucose uptake 3- and 2-fold respectively. The effects of insulin and TPA were not additive. When PKC activity was down-regulated by long-term (24 h) TPA pretreatment, before measurement of glucose transport, the TPA effect was abolished, but in addition insulin-stimulated glucose transport returned to basal values. Furthermore, polymyxin B, which inhibits PKC in muscle extracts, prevented insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in muscle. In muscle of obese insulin-resistant mice, glucose uptake evoked by insulin was decreased, whereas the TPA effect, expressed as a fold increase, was unaltered. Thus both agents stimulated glucose transport to the same extent. Furthermore, no difference was observed when PKC activation by TPA was measured in muscle from lean and obese mice. These results suggest that: (1) PKC is involved in the insulin effect on glucose transport in muscle; (2) PKC activation explains only part of the insulin stimulation of glucose transport; (3) the defect in insulin response in obese mice does not appear to be due to an alteration in the PKC-dependent component of glucose transport. We propose that insulin stimulation of glucose uptake occurs by a sequential two-step mechanism, with first translocation of transporters to the plasma membrane, which is PKC dependent, and second, activation of the glucose transporters. In obesity only the activation step was decreased, whereas the translocation step was unaltered.

Abstract
The regulation of glucose transport in normal and insulin-resistant obese rat hearts have been studied by measuring glucose transport via the efflux of labelled 3-0-methyl-D-glucose. Glucose transporters in obese rat hearts were also investigated using the labelled cytochalasin B-binding assay. Basal, and insulin- or increasing workload-induced stimulation of glucose transport was decreased in obese rat hearts compared to those of normal ones. Total number of glucose transporters (plasma membrane plus microsomal ones) was about half that previously reported for normal rat hearts. Insulin or workload favoured the translocation of glucose transporters from an intercellular pool (microsomes) to the plasma membrane, as they do in normal rats. Due to the measured decrease in total number of transporters of obese rat hearts, those present in the plasma membrane (under basal conditions, or following stimulation by insulin or workload) were less than those previously found in normal rat hearts tested under identical conditions. In obese rat hearts, regulation of plasma membrane transporters was perturbed. The Hill coefficient (an index of positive cooperativity amongst glucose transporters) was paradoxically decreased by insulin while leaving affinity values unaltered. The Hill coefficient was unaltered by workload, although the affinity values were increased compared to respective controls. To sum up, obese rat hearts have decreased total transporter number, and although the two stimuli studied favour the translocation of available transporters, they fail to "activate" them adequately once present in the plasma membrane.

Abstract
An early effect of insulin in adipocytes is to stimulate glucose uptake. The increased uptake appears to be due to mobilization of glucose transporters from an intracellular location to the plasma membrane and to enhanced intrinsic activity of the transporters. Little is known about the insulin-generated signals causing these changes. Phorbol esters have been shown to mimic the insulin effect, but phosphorylation of the transporter does not seem to be involved. A phospho-oligosaccharide was recently shown to mimic the effects of insulin on protein phosphorylation, suggesting that it could be a mediator for some intracellular metabolic effects of the hormone, but it did not affect glucose uptake. A diacyglycerol is produced in the plasma membrane in conjunction with the generation of the phospho-oligosaccharide. Here I show that added 1,2-diacylglycerols potently increase glucose transporter-mediated uptake of glucose in rat adipocytes, but without activation of protein kinase C.

Abstract
Aspects of the regulation of the glucose transport by perfused hearts of normal rats have been studied by measuring glucose transport (via the efflux of labelled 3-O-methyl-D-glucose) and glucose transporters (via the labelled cytochalasin B binding assay). Similarly to what is observed with insulin, increasing workload (by raising perfusion pressure from 50 to 100 mm Hg) stimulated glucose transport 7 to 8-fold. Glucose (via its analog 3-O-methylglucose, used at 15 mmol/l) stimulated its own transport 4-fold. The three stimuli favored the translocation of glucose transporters from an intracellular pool (microsomes) to the plasma membrane. Insulin increased the apparent affinity (decreased dissociation constant values) of plasma membrane transporters for cytochalasin, as well as the Hill coefficient, indicating the occurrence of a positive cooperativity amongst plasma membrane transporters. Workload increased only the Hill coefficient, glucose only the apparent affinity for cytochalasin of plasma membrane transporters. This study shows that insulin, workload and glucose itself stimulate glucose transport by favouring the translocation process of glucose transporter as well as by changing, albeit by a different mechanism, the functional properties of the transporters once translocated to the plasma membrane.
