Abstract
The review focused mainly on the pathogenesis of hepatogenous diabetes (HD) in liver cirrhosis (LC). This review reveals parallels between the mechanisms of metabolic dysfunction observed in LC and type II diabetes (T2DM), suggesting a shared pathway leading to HD. It underscores the role of insulin in HD pathogenesis, highlighting key factors such as insulin signaling, glucose metabolism, insulin resistance (IR), and the influence of adipocytes. Furthermore, the impact of adipose tissue accumulation, fatty acid metabolism, and pro-inflammatory cytokines like Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) on IR are discussed in the context of HD. Altered signaling pathways, disruptions in the endocrine system, liver inflammation, changes in muscle mass and composition, and modifications to the gut microbiota collectively contribute to the complex interplay linking cirrhosis and HD. This study highlights how important it is to identify and treat this complex condition in cirrhotic patients by thoroughly analyzing the link between cirrhosis, IR, and HD. It also emphasizes the vitality of targeted interventions. Cellular and molecular investigations into IR have revealed potential therapeutic targets for managing and preventing HD.

Abstract
Insulin signaling controls multiple aspects of animal physiology. At the cell surface, insulin binds and activates the insulin receptor (IR), a receptor tyrosine kinase. Insulin promotes a large conformational change of IR and stabilizes the active conformation. The insulin-activated IR triggers signaling cascades, thus controlling metabolism, growth, and proliferation. The activated IR undergoes internalization by clathrin- or caveolae-mediated endocytosis. The IR endocytosis plays important roles in insulin clearance from blood, and distribution and termination of the insulin signaling. Despite decades of extensive studies, the mechanism and regulation of IR endocytosis and its contribution to pathophysiology remain incompletely understood. Here we discuss recent findings that provide insights into the molecular mechanisms and regulatory pathways that mediate the IR endocytosis.

Abstract
The global prevalences of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus have reached epidemic status, presenting a heavy burden on society. It is therefore essential to find novel mechanisms and targets that could be utilized in potential treatment strategies and, as such, intracellular membrane trafficking has re-emerged as a regulatory tool for controlling metabolic homeostasis. Membrane trafficking is an essential physiological process that is responsible for the sorting and distribution of signalling receptors, membrane transporters and hormones or other ligands between different intracellular compartments and the plasma membrane. Dysregulation of intracellular transport is associated with many human diseases, including cancer, neurodegeneration, immune deficiencies and metabolic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes mellitus and its associated complications. This Review focuses on the latest advances on the role of endosomal membrane trafficking in metabolic physiology and pathology in vivo, highlighting the importance of this research field in targeting metabolic diseases.

Abstract
Insulin receptor (IR) phosphorylation is critical for the assessment of the extent of IR agonism and nuances in the downstream signaling cascade. A thorough identification and monitoring of the phosphorylation events is important for understanding the process of insulin signaling transduction and regulation. Although IR phosphorylation has been studied extensively in the past decades, only a handful of phosphorylation sites can be identified by either traditional antibody-based assays or recent large-scale mass spectrometry-based phosphoproteomics approaches. In the present study, the most exhaustive assessment of the IR phosphorylation was conducted using nano-liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, in which 13 IR phosphorylation sites and 22 combinations thereof were analyzed. The kinetic analysis included Y965, Y972, S968/969, and S974/976 in the juxtamembrane region; Y1158, Y1162, and Y1163 in the kinase domain; and Y1328, Y1334, S1278, S1320, S1321, and T1348 in the C-terminal region. Employing two different receptor agonists (i.e. insulin and an IR peptide agonist), the data revealed contrasting phosphorylation kinetics across these sites with dynamics far more diverse than expected for known IR agonists. Notably, cell trafficking experiments revealed that the IR peptide agonist was incapable of inducing IR to the early endosome, which is probably linked to a difference in IR phosphorylation. The present study provides a powerful tool for investigating IR signaling and trafficking that will benefit the design of IR agonists with improved therapeutic utility.

Abstract
Insulin signaling controls cell growth and metabolic homeostasis. Dysregulation of this pathway causes metabolic diseases such as diabetes. Insulin signaling pathways have been extensively studied. Upon insulin binding, the insulin receptor (IR) triggers downstream signaling cascades. The active IR is then internalized by clathrin-mediated endocytosis. Despite decades of studies, the mechanism and regulation of clathrin-mediated endocytosis of IR remain incompletely understood. Recent studies have revealed feedback regulation of IR endocytosis through Src homology phosphatase 2 (SHP2) and the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway. Here we review the molecular mechanism of IR endocytosis and its impact on the pathophysiology of insulin resistance, and discuss the potential of SHP2 as a therapeutic target for type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
Insulin receptor (INSR) has been extensively studied in the area of cell proliferation and energy metabolism. Impaired INSR activities lead to insulin resistance, the key factor in the pathology of metabolic disorders including type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The mainstream opinion is that insulin resistance begins at a post-receptor level. The role of INSR activities and trafficking in insulin resistance pathogenesis has been largely ignored. Ligand-activated INSR is internalized and trafficked to early endosome (EE), where INSR is dephosphorylated and sorted. INSR can be subsequently conducted to lysosome for degradation or recycled back to the plasma membrane. The metabolic fate of INSR in cellular events implies the profound influence of INSR on insulin signaling pathways. Disruption of INSR-coupled activities has been identified in a wide range of insulin resistance-related diseases such as T2DM. Accumulating evidence suggests that alterations in INSR trafficking may lead to severe insulin resistance. However, there is very little understanding of how altered INSR activities undermine complex signaling pathways to the development of insulin resistance and T2DM. Here, we focus this review on summarizing previous findings on the molecular pathways of INSR trafficking in normal and diseased states. Through this review, we provide insights into the mechanistic role of INSR intracellular processes and activities in the development of insulin resistance and diabetes.

Abstract
Upon its secretion from pancreatic β-cells, insulin reaches the liver through the portal circulation to exert its action and eventually undergo clearance in the hepatocytes. In addition to insulin secretion, hepatic insulin clearance regulates the homeostatic level of insulin that is required to reach peripheral insulin target tissues to elicit proper insulin action. Receptor-mediated insulin uptake followed by its degradation constitutes the basic mechanism of insulin clearance. Upon its phosphorylation by the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase, carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 1 (CEACAM1) takes part in the insulin-insulin receptor complex to increase the rate of its endocytosis and targeting to the degradation pathways. This review summarizes how this process is regulated and how it is associated with insulin-degrading enzyme in the liver. It also discusses the physiological implications of impaired hepatic insulin clearance: Whereas reduced insulin clearance cooperates with increased insulin secretion to compensate for insulin resistance, it can also cause hepatic insulin resistance. Because chronic hyperinsulinemia stimulates hepatic de novo lipogenesis, impaired insulin clearance also causes hepatic steatosis. Thus impaired insulin clearance can underlie the link between hepatic insulin resistance and hepatic steatosis. Delineating these regulatory pathways should lead to building more effective therapeutic strategies against metabolic syndrome.

Abstract
The spindle checkpoint ensures accurate chromosome segregation during mitosis and guards against aneuploidy. Insulin signaling governs metabolic homeostasis and cell growth, and its dysregulation leads to metabolic disorders, such as diabetes. These critical pathways have been extensively investigated, but a link between the two has not been established until recently. Our recent study reveals a critical role of spindle checkpoint regulators in insulin signaling and metabolic homeostasis through regulating endocytosis of the insulin receptor (IR). These findings have linked spindle checkpoint proteins to metabolic regulation, expanding the connection between cell division and metabolism. Here, we briefly review the unexpected roles of spindle checkpoint regulators in vesicle trafficking and insulin signaling.

Abstract
AIMS In patients with diabetes treated with sunitinib symptomatic hypoglycaemia has been reported. To explore the mechanism of this adverse effect we performed a prospective study to investigate the effect of sunitinib on insulin concentration, insulin clearance and insulin sensitivity. METHODS We studied the early effects of sunitinib on insulin sensitivity and insulin clearance with a hyperinsulinaemic euglycaemic clamp (insulin infusion rate 60 mU m−2 min−1; steady-state 90–120 min) in patients with renal cell carcinoma before and 1 week after the start of sunitinib 50 mg day−1. Insulin sensitivity index (SI) was defined as steady-state glucose disposal divided by the steady-state plasma insulin. RESULTS Ten patients (one with diabetes, treated with metformin) were included in the study protocol. Steady-state insulin concentrations during the clamp increased after 1 week of sunitinib (from 128.9 ± 9.0 mU l−1 to 170.8 ± 12.8 mU l−1, P < 0.05; 95% CI on difference − 64.3, −19.6). The calculated insulin sensitivity index decreased from 0.22 ± 0.04 before to 0.18 ± 0.02 μmol kg−1 min−1 per mU l−1 insulin (P < 0.05; 95% CI on difference 0.07, 0.08). As the insulin infusion rate was similar for both clamps, the increased steady-state insulin concentration indicates reduced insulin clearance. CONCLUSION Sunitinib affects insulin clearance which could possibly lead to overexposure to insulin in patients using insulin or insulin-secretion stimulating agents.

Abstract
The cellular uptake of many nutrients and micronutrients governs both their cellular availability and their systemic homeostasis. The cellular rate of nutrient or ion uptake (e.g., glucose, Fe(3+), K(+)) or efflux (e.g., Na(+)) is governed by a complement of membrane transporters and receptors that show dynamic localization at both the plasma membrane and defined intracellular membrane compartments. Regulation of the rate and mechanism of endocytosis controls the amounts of these proteins on the cell surface, which in many cases determines nutrient uptake or secretion. Moreover, the metabolic action of diverse hormones is initiated upon binding to surface receptors that then undergo regulated endocytosis and show distinct signaling patterns once internalized. Here, we examine how the endocytosis of nutrient transporters and carriers as well as signaling receptors governs cellular metabolism and thereby systemic (whole-body) metabolite homeostasis.

Abstract
Activation of receptor tyrosine kinases is a key feature in receptor signaling and membrane trafficking processes. In this study, we found that the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase activity is required for fusion between early endosomes. AG1024, a receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, blocked the in vitro endosome fusion in a concentration-dependent manner. We observed that Rab5: wild type partially rescued the fusion reaction, whereas Rab5: Q79L mutant fully rescued it. We also observed that treatment of cells with insulin receptor kinase inhibitor HNMPA-(AM)3 blocked the formation of Rab5-positive endosomes as well as the activation of Rab5 upon addition of insulin in intact cells. HNMPA-(AM)3 inhibitor also affected the endosomal co-localization of Rab5 and insulin receptor. However, the formation of Rab5: Q79L mutant-positive endosomes were not affected by the HNMPA-(AM)3 inhibitor. In addition, HNMPA-(AM)3 inhibitor affected the association of Rin1 to membrane upon insulin stimulation. Furthermore, Rin1 did not fully support endosome fusion in the presence of the AG1024 inhibitor. These results constitute the first evidence that, at least in part, the enzymatic activity of insulin receptor is required for the fusion events via the activation of Rab5.

Abstract
Alcoholic liver disease is a major biomedical health concern in the United States. Despite considerable research efforts aimed at understanding the progression of the disease, the specific mechanisms leading to alcohol-induced damage remain elusive. Numerous proteins are known to have alcohol-induced alterations in their dynamics. Defining these defects in protein trafficking is an active area of research. In general, two trafficking pathways are affected: transport of newly synthesized secretory or membrane glycoproteins from the Golgi to the basolateral membrane and clathrin-mediated endocytosis from the sinusoidal surface. Both impaired secretion and internalization require ethanol metabolism and are likely mediated by acetaldehyde. Although the mechanisms by which ethanol exposure impairs protein trafficking are not fully understood, recent work implicates alcohol-induced modifications on tubulin or components of the clathrin machinery as potential mediators. Furthermore, the physiological ramifications of impaired protein trafficking are not fully understood. In this review, we will list and discuss the proteins whose trafficking patterns are known to be impaired by ethanol exposure. We will then describe what is known about the possible mechanisms leading to impaired protein trafficking and how disrupted protein trafficking alters liver function and may explain clinical features of the alcoholic patient.

Abstract
Background The insulin receptor is localized in caveolae and is dependent on caveolae or cholesterol for signaling in adipocytes. When stimulated with insulin, the receptor is internalized. Methodology/Principal Findings We examined primary rat adipocytes by subcellular fractionation to examine if the insulin receptor was internalized in a caveolae-mediated process. Insulin induced a rapid, t1/2<3 min, endocytosis of the insulin receptor in parallel with receptor tyrosine autophosphorylation. Concomitantly, caveolin-1 was phosphorylated at tyrosine(14) and endocytosed. Vanadate increased the phosphorylation of caveolin-1 without affecting insulin receptor phosphorylation or endocytosis. Immunocapture of endosomal vesicles with antibodies against the insulin receptor co-captured caveolin-1 and immunocapture with antibodies against tyrosine(14)-phosphorylated caveolin-1 co-captured the insulin receptor, demonstrating that the insulin receptor was endocytosed together with tyrosine(14)-phosphorylated caveolin-1. By immunogold electron microscopy the insulin receptor and caveolin-1 were colocalized in endosome vesicles that resembled caveosomes. Clathrin was not endocytosed with the insulin receptor and the inhibitor of clathrin-coated pit-mediated endocytosis, chlorpromazine, did not inhibit internalization of the insulin receptor, while transferrin receptor internalization was inhibited. Conclusion It is concluded that in response to insulin stimulation the autophosphorylated insulin receptor in primary adipocytes is rapidly endocytosed in a caveolae-mediated process, involving tyrosine phosphorylation of caveolin-1.

Abstract
In health insulin is secreted in discrete insulin secretory bursts from pancreatic beta-cells, collectively referred to as beta-cell mass. We sought to establish the relationship between beta-cell mass, insulin secretory-burst mass, and hepatic insulin clearance over a range of age-related insulin sensitivity in adult rats. To address this, we used a novel rat model with chronically implanted portal vein catheters in which we recently established the parameters to permit deconvolution of portal vein insulin concentration profiles to measure insulin secretion and resolve its pulsatile components. In the present study, we examined total and pulsatile insulin secretion, insulin sensitivity, hepatic insulin clearance, and beta-cell mass in 35 rats aged 2-12 mo. With aging, insulin sensitivity declined, but euglycemia was sustained by an adaptive increase in fasting and glucose-stimulated insulin secretion through the mechanism of a selective augmentation of insulin pulse mass. The latter was attributable to a closely related increase in beta-cell mass (r=0.8, P<0.001). Hepatic insulin clearance increased with increasing portal vein insulin pulse amplitude, damping the delivery of insulin in the systemic circulation. In consequence, the curvilinear relationship previously reported between insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity was extended to both insulin pulse mass and beta-cell mass vs. insulin sensitivity. These data support a central role of adaptive changes in beta-cell mass to permit appropriate insulin secretion in the setting of decreasing insulin sensitivity in the aging animal. They emphasize the cooperative role of pancreatic beta-cells and the liver in regulating the secretion and delivery of insulin to the systemic circulation.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes is characterized by insulin resistance of target organs, which is due to impaired insulin signal transduction. The skeleton of signaling mediators that provide for normal insulin action has been established. However, the detailed kinetics, and their mechanistic generation, remain incompletely understood. We measured time-courses in primary human adipocytes for the short-term phosphorylation dynamics of the insulin receptor (IR) and the IR substrate-1 in response to a step increase in insulin concentration. Both proteins exhibited a rapid transient overshoot in tyrosine phosphorylation, reaching maximum within 1 min, followed by an intermediate steady-state level after approximately 10 min. We used model-based hypothesis testing to evaluate three mechanistic explanations for this behavior: (A) phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of IR at the plasma membrane only; (B) the additional possibility for IR endocytosis; (C) the alternative additional possibility of feedback signals to IR from downstream intermediates. We concluded that (A) is not a satisfactory explanation; that (B) may serve as an explanation only if both internalization, dephosphorylation, and subsequent recycling are permitted; and that (C) is acceptable. These mechanistic insights cannot be obtained by mere inspection of the datasets, and they are rejections and thus stronger and more final conclusions than ordinary model predictions. Insulin is a central player in maintaining energy balance in our bodies and in type 2 diabetes, where the effect of insulin on its target tissues is diminished. Insulin acts on cells by binding to specific insulin receptors (IRs) at the cell surface. This triggers a series of events, including attachment of phosphate to IR, activation of downstream proteins that eventually mediate the signal to specific targets in the cell, and internalization of IR to the inner cytosolic part of the cell. The importance, time relations, and interactions between these events are not fully understood. We have collected experimental time-series and developed a novel analysis method based on mathematical modeling to gain insights into these initial aspects of how insulin controls cells. The main conclusion is that either IR internalization and the subsequent recycling back to the cell surface or feedbacks from downstream proteins (or both) must be significantly active during the first few minutes of insulin action. These conclusions could not have been reached from the experimental data through conventional biological reasoning, and this work thus illustrates the power of modeling to improve our understanding of biological systems.

Abstract
Activation of the tyrosine kinase of the insulin receptor by insulin binding initiates a cascade of signaling pathways that mediates the metabolic and growth-promoting effects of insulin. Insulin action is regulated by the amount of circulating insulin, which is, in turn, partially regulated by insulin clearance in liver. Receptor-mediated insulin endocytosis followed by degradation mediates insulin clearance. Earlier studies in transfected cells suggested that the carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 1 (CEACAM1), a substrate of the insulin receptor in liver, upregulates receptor-mediated insulin endocytosis and degradation in a phosphorylation-dependent manner. To test this hypothesis, a transgenic mouse, L-SACC1, overexpressing a dominant-negative phosphorylation-defective S503A CEACAM1 mutant in liver was established. The transgenic mouse demonstrated that CEACAM1 increases insulin clearance to maintain insulin sensitivity. Because insulin resistance is the hallmark of type 2 diabetes, understanding the mechanism of CEACAM1 regulation of insulin clearance and action might lead to novel therapeutic strategies against this disease.

Abstract
The mechanisms that regulate the transport of the macrophage class A scavenger receptor during ligand uptake were investigated. Kinetic analysis of the changes in receptor phosphorylation demonstrated that serine phosphorylation increased during the internalization of acetyl-low density lipoproteins (LDL) by macrophages. The increase was maximal at about 2.5 min after the initiation of ligand uptake. Oxidized LDL also stimulated serine phosphorylation, but the relative increase was smaller and the time to maximum was shorter. Receptor mutants expressed in Chinese hamster ovary and COS cells showed that elimination of the potential phosphorylation site at Ser(21) increased acetyl-LDL metabolism, whereas inactivation of the site at Ser(49) reduced acetyl-LDL uptake. The increase in uptake by the Ser(21) mutant was due to an increase in surface receptor expression. In contrast, elimination of the site at Ser(49) did not affect receptor expression but slowed receptor internalization. To identify potential internalization signal sequences, beta-turn structure in the cytosolic domain was targeted for mutagenesis. Disruption of one region near Asp(25) inhibited receptor activity. The studies support a model whereby receptor internalization requires the presence of an internalization signal motif but that the rate of receptor internalization is governed by the pattern of receptor phosphorylation induced by the ligand.

Abstract
pp120 undergoes phosphorylation by the tyrosine kinase of the insulin, not the insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), receptor. Moreover, pp120 stimulates receptor-mediated insulin, but not IGF-1, endocytosis, suggesting that pp120 phosphorylation underlies its effect on insulin endocytosis. pp120 phosphorylation also underlies its bile acid transport and tumor suppression functions. In addition to depending on the intracellular tail, the cell adhesion property of pp120 depends on Arg98 in the N-terminal IgV-like ectoplasmic domain. To investigate whether this domain mediates the effect of pp120 on insulin endocytosis, we mutated Arg98 to Ala and examined whether this mutation altered pp120 phosphorylation and its effect on ligand endocytosis in transfected NIH 3T3 cells. This mutation did not modify either pp120 phosphorylation or its effect on receptor-mediated ligand endocytosis. These findings support the hypothesis that stimulation of insulin endocytosis by pp120 is not mediated by Arg98 in the N-terminal IgV-like ectoplasmic domain of pp120.

Abstract
Transcytosis of the polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (pIgR) is stimulated by binding of its ligand, dimeric IgA (dIgA). During this process, dIgA binding at the basolateral surface of the epithelial cell transmits a signal to the apical region of the cell, which in turn stimulates the transport of dIgA-pIgR complex from a postmicrotubule compartment to the apical surface. We have previously reported that the signal of stimulation was controlled by a protein-tyrosine kinase (PTK) activated upon dIgA binding. We now show that this signal of stimulation moves across the cell independently of pIgR movement or microtubules and acts through the tyrosine kinase activity by releasing Ca++ from inositol trisphosphate-sensitive intracellular stores. Surprisingly we have found that a second independent signal is required to achieve dIgA-stimulated transcytosis of pIgR. This second signal depends on dIgA binding to the pIgR solely at the basolateral surface and the ability of pIgR to dimerize. This enables pIgR molecules that have bound dIgA at the basolateral surface to respond to the signal of stimulation once they reach the postmicrotubule compartment. We propose that the use of two signals may be a general mechanism by which signaling receptors maintain specificity along their signaling and trafficking pathways.

Abstract
The endocytic function of caveolae was challenged by taking advantage of a cell-free assay directly measuring the detachment of receptor-containing vesicles from isolated plasma membranes. Plasma membranes from cultured cells surface-labeled with 125I-cholera toxin (segregating in caveolae) were isolated as described previously. Following incubation of these labeled membranes in the presence of nucleotide(s) and cytosol, a significant proportion of the initially membrane-associated radioactivity was released into the incubation medium in sedimentable form (14*10(6)g). Results of biochemical, morphological, and fractionation analysis of the material containing the released radioactivity directly demonstrated that caveolae are plasma membrane domains involved in an endocytic process and resulting in the formation of caveolae-derived vesicles. In addition, these studies allowed a direct comparison of caveolae- and clathrin-coated pit-mediated endocytosis and reveal that these two processes diverge in terms of kinetics, cytosol and nucleotide requirements as well as in terms of the density and size of the endocytic vesicles formed.

Abstract
Sorting nexin 1 (SNX1) is a protein that binds to the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor and is proposed to play a role in directing EGF receptors to lysosomes for degradation (R. C. Kurten, D. L. Cadena, and G. N. Gill, Science 272:1008-1010, 1996). We have obtained full-length cDNAs and deduced the amino acid sequences of three novel homologous proteins, which were denoted human sorting nexins (SNX2, SNX3, and SNX4). In addition, we identified a presumed splice variant isoform of SNX1 (SNX1A). These molecules contain a conserved domain of approximately 100 amino acids, which was termed the phox homology (PX) domain. Human SNX1 (522 amino acids), SNX1A (457 amino acids), SNX2 (519 amino acids), SNX3 (162 amino acids), and SNX4 (450 amino acids) are part of a larger family of hydrophilic molecules including proteins identified in Caenorhabditis elegans and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Despite their hydrophilic nature, the sorting nexins are found partially associated with cellular membranes. They are widely expressed, although the tissue distribution of each sorting nexin mRNA varies. When expressed in COS7 cells, epitope-tagged sorting nexins SNX1, SNX1A, SNX2, and SNX4 coimmunoprecipitated with receptor tyrosine kinases for EGF, platelet-derived growth factor, and insulin. These sorting nexins also associated with the long isoform of the leptin receptor but not with the short and medium isoforms. Interestingly, endogenous COS7 transferrin receptors associated exclusively with SNX1 and SNX1A, while SNX3 was not found to associate with any of the receptors studied. Our demonstration of a large conserved family of sorting nexins that interact with a variety of receptor types suggests that these proteins may be involved in several stages of intracellular trafficking in mammalian cells.

Abstract
The biological effects of insulin are initiated by the binding of insulin to the insulin receptor. Insulin binds to the extracellular domain of the insulin receptor and induces conformational changes in the receptor, leading to autophosphorylation of the receptor on intracellular tyrosine residues. These phosphorylated tyrosine residues act as binding sites for proteins which subsequently may be phosphorylated by the insulin receptor. As a result, yet other proteins can be recruited to form larger complexes and, in the case of enzymes, changes in their activity may take place. By a combination of these processes, the activated insulin receptor initiates cascades of biochemical events which are regulated mainly by specific phosphorylation or dephosphorylation reactions. Intermediates which are involved in the normal insulin signalling pathway are subjects of expanding research.

Abstract
Insulin degradation is a regulated process that plays a role in controlling insulin action by removing and inactivating the hormone. Abnormalities in insulin clearance and degradation are present in various pathological conditions including type 2 diabetes and obesity and may be important in producing clinical problems. The uptake, processing, and degradation of insulin by cells is a complex process with multiple intracellular pathways. Most evidence supports IDE as the primary degradative mechanism, but other systems (PDI, lysosomes, and other enzymes) undoubtedly contribute to insulin metabolism. Recent studies support a multifunctional role for IDE, as an intracellular binding, regulatory, and degradative protein. IDE increases proteasome and steroid hormone receptor activity, and this activation is reversed by insulin. This raises the possibility of a direct intracellular interaction of insulin with IDE that could modulate protein and fat metabolism. The recent findings would place intracellular insulin-IDE interaction into the insulin signal transduction pathway for mediating the intermediate effects of insulin on fat and protein turnover.

Abstract
pp120, a substrate of the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase, is a plasma membrane glycoprotein that is expressed in the hepatocyte as two spliced isoforms differing by the presence (full-length) or absence (truncated) of most of the intracellular domain including all phosphorylation sites. Co-expression of full-length pp120, but not its phosphorylation-defective isoforms, increased receptor-mediated insulin endocytosis and degradation in NIH 3T3 fibroblasts. We, herein, examined whether internalization of pp120 is required to mediate its effect on insulin endocytosis. The amount of full-length pp120 expressed at the cell surface membrane, as measured by biotin labeling, markedly decreased in response to insulin only when insulin receptors were co-expressed. In contrast, when phosphorylation-defective pp120 mutants were co-expressed, the amount of pp120 expressed at the cell surface did not decrease in response to insulin. Indirect immunofluorescence analysis revealed that upon insulin treatment of cells co-expressing insulin receptors, full-length, but not truncated, pp120 co-localized with alpha-adaptin in the adaptor protein complex that anchors endocytosed proteins to clathrin-coated pits. This suggests that full-length pp120 is part of a complex of proteins required for receptor-mediated insulin endocytosis and that formation of this complex is regulated by insulin-induced pp120 phosphorylation by the receptor tyrosine kinase. In vitro GST binding assays and co-immunoprecipitation experiments in intact cells further revealed that pp120 did not bind directly to the insulin receptor and that its association with the receptor may be mediated by other cellular proteins.

Abstract
Gram-negative bacterial endotoxin (a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)) specifically binds to CD14, a glycosylphosphatidyl inositol (GPI)-anchored surface myeloid glycoprotein. This interaction leads to cell activation, but it also promotes LPS internalization and detoxification. In this work, we investigated the route of LPS and CD14 internalization and the relevance of CD14 GPI anchor in the endocytic pathway. In promonocytic THP-1 cells transfected with a GPI or a chimeric integral form of CD14, we showed by differential buoyancy in sucrose density gradients that these two forms of CD14 were sorted to different plasma membrane subdomains. However, both forms of CD14 associated preferentially with the same surface microfilament-enriched microvilli or ruffles. Electron microscopic studies indicated that CD14 internalized via macropinocytosis, a process resembling that of phagocytosis, different from "classical" receptor-mediated endocytic pathways, such as clathrin-coated pits or caveolae. With cell warming, the CD14-enriched ruffles fused and formed large vesicles. Later, these vacuoles made stacks and condensed into phago-lysosomes. CD14 was specifically associated with all of these structures. Radiolabeled LPS internalization paralleled CD14 internalization. Confocal microscopic studies confirmed the co-localization of LPS and CD14 both at the cell surface and in endosomal compartments. The microfilament-disrupting, macropinocytosis blocking agent cytochalasin D inhibited LPS and CD14 internalization but did not prevent LPS-dependent activation, indicating that these two processes are dissociated.

Abstract
Abstract
TCR down-regulation plays an important role in modulating T cell responses both during T cell development and in mature T cells. Down-regulation of the TCR is induced by engagement of the TCR by specific ligands and/or by activation of protein kinase C (PKC). We report here that ligand- and PKC-induced TCR down-regulation is mediated by two distinct, independent mechanisms. Ligand-induced TCR down-regulation is dependent on the protein tyrosine kinases p56lck and p59fyn but independent of PKC and the CD3γ leucine-based (L-based) internalization motif. In contrast, PKC-induced TCR down-regulation is dependent on the CD3γ L-based internalization motif but independent of p56lck and p59fyn. Finally, our data indicate that in the absence of TCR ligation, TCR expression levels can be finely regulated via the CD3γ L-based motif by the balance between PKC and serine/threonine protein phosphatase activities. Such a TCR ligation-independent regulation of TCR expression levels could probably be important in determining the activation threshold of T cells in their encounter with APC.

Abstract
To examine the role of clathrin-dependent insulin receptor internalization in insulin-stimulated signal transduction events, we expressed a dominant-interfering mutant of dynamin (K44A/dynamin) by using a recombinant adenovirus in the H4IIE hepatoma and 3T3L1 adipocyte cell lines. Expression of K44A/dynamin inhibited endocytosis of the insulin receptor as determined by both cell surface radioligand binding and trypsin protection analysis. The inhibition of the insulin receptor endocytosis had no effect on either the extent of insulin receptor autophosphorylation or insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS1) tyrosine phosphorylation. In contrast, expression of K44A/dynamin partially inhibited insulin-stimulated Shc tyrosine phosphorylation and activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinases ERK1 and -2. Although there was an approximately 50% decrease in the insulin-stimulated activation of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase associated with IRS1, insulin-stimulated Akt kinase phosphorylation and activation were unaffected. The expression of K44A/dynamin increased the basal rate of amino acid transport, which was additive with the effect of insulin but had no effect on the basal or insulin-stimulated DNA synthesis. In 3T3L1 adipocytes, expression of K44A/dynamin increased the basal rate of glucose uptake, glycogen synthesis, and lipogenesis without any significant effect on insulin stimulation. Together, these data demonstrate that the acute actions of insulin are largely independent of insulin receptor endocytosis and are initiated by activation of the plasma membrane-localized insulin receptor.

Abstract
pp120, a substrate of the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase, does not undergo ligand-stimulated phosphorylation by the insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) receptor. However, replacement of the C-terminal domain of the IGF-1 receptor beta-subunit with the corresponding segment of the insulin receptor restored pp120 phosphorylation by the chimeric receptor. Since pp120 stimulates receptor-mediated insulin endocytosis when it is phosphorylated, we examined whether pp120 regulates IGF-1 receptor endocytosis in transfected NIH 3T3 cells. pp120 failed to alter IGF-1 receptor endocytosis via either wild-type or chimeric IGF-1 receptors. Thus, the effect of pp120 on hormone endocytosis is specific to insulin, and the C-terminal domain of the beta-subunit of the insulin receptor does not regulate the effect of pp120 on insulin endocytosis. Mutation of Tyr960 in the juxtamembrane domain of the insulin receptor abolished the effect of pp120 to stimulate receptor endocytosis, without affecting pp120 phosphorylation by the insulin receptor. These findings suggest that pp120 interacts with two separate domains of the insulin receptor as follows: a C-terminal domain required for pp120 phosphorylation and a juxtamembrane domain required for internalization. We propose that the interaction of pp120 with the juxtamembrane domain is indirect and requires one or more substrates that bind to Tyr960 in the insulin receptor.

Abstract
The GLUT4 glucose transporter continuously recycles between the cell surface and an endosomal compartment in adipocytes. Insulin decreases the rate of GLUT4 endocytosis in addition to increasing its exocytosis. Endocytosis of the transporter is thought to occur at least in part via the clathrin-mediated endocytic system. The protein dynamin is involved in the final stages of clathrin-coated vesicle formation. Here we show that the dynamin II isoform is expressed in 3T3-L1 adipocytes and is present in isolated plasma membrane and low density microsomal fractions. Insulin reduced the levels of dynamin II associated with the plasma membrane by about half, raising the possibility that the hormone may reduce GLUT4 endocytosis by removing dynamin from the cell surface. A fusion protein containing the amphiphysin SH3 domain selectively bound dynamin II from 3T3-L1 adipocyte cell lysates. Microinjection of the fusion protein into these cells inhibited transferrin endocytosis and increased the levels of GLUT4 at the cell surface. Glutathione S-transferase alone, the SH3 domains of spectrin and Crk, and a mutated amphiphysin SH3 domain unable to bind dynamin II did not affect GLUT4 distribution. However, a peptide containing the dynamin II sequence that binds amphiphysin increased the surface presence of GLUT4. Moreover, in cells first treated with insulin to externalize GLUT4, the dynamin peptide, but not an unrelated control peptide, inhibited GLUT4 internalization upon insulin removal. These results suggest that interactions of dynamin II with amphiphysin may play an important role in GLUT4 endocytosis. We hypothesize that insulin may reduce GLUT4 endocytosis by regulating the function of dynamin II at the cell surface, as part of the mechanism to increase glucose uptake.

Abstract
The C860S mutation (IRC860S) in the extracellular domain of the insulin receptor beta-subunit has previously been shown to result in an inhibition of insulin receptor internalization. The present work aims at further dissecting the consequences of this mutation not only on insulin receptor internalization, but also on the signaling of the receptor. Following transfection of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells with insulin receptors with the C860S mutation (CHO-IRC860S) and quantitative electron microscopic analysis of [125I]insulin localization in these cells, the inhibition of receptor internalization appears to be due to an inhibition of the lateral translocation of the receptor from microvilli to nonvillous domains of the cell surface. At 37 C, insulin-stimulated insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) phosphorylation is inhibited by 50% in CHO-IRC860S, whereas Shc phosphorylation remains unaffected. The inhibition of IRS-1 phosphorylation is still present when experiments are conducted at 4 C, a temperature at which insulin receptor internalization is prevented, suggesting that the defect in IRS-1 phosphorylation is not due to the reduced internalization of the receptor. In terms of biological effects, the mutation has negative consequences on insulin-stimulated c-fos expression and DNA synthesis as well as on glycogen synthase activity. Eventually, the events observed are specific for Cys860, as individual substitution of the two more proximal Cys residues (795 and 872) to Ser is not accompanied by any change in either insulin-induced insulin receptor internalization or IRS-1 phosphorylation. Thus, the present analysis of CHO-IRC860S 1) reveals that insulin receptor surface redistribution is not solely dependent on receptor autophosphorylation, 2) emphasizes that IRS-1 phosphorylation is not dependent on receptor internalization and can be triggered from microvilli, and 3) stresses divergent aspects between two of the major signaling pathways of the insulin receptor.

Abstract
The insulin receptor is expressed as two variably spliced isoforms that differ by the absence (isoform A) or presence (isoform B) of a 12-amino acid sequence encoded by exon 11 at the carboxy terminus of the alpha-subunit. Coexpression of the A isoform and pp120, a substrate of the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase, in NIH 3T3 fibroblasts increased receptor A-mediated insulin endocytosis and degradation by two- to threefold compared with cells expressing receptors alone. Because B is the predominant isoform in the liver and binds insulin with lower affinity than A, we have examined the effect of pp120 on receptor B-mediated endocytosis. In contrast to isoform A, the effect of pp120 on isoform B-mediated insulin internalization and degradation in stably transfected NIH 3T3 cells was minimal.

Abstract
CD4, a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily, is not only expressed in T4 helper lymphocytes but also in myeloid cells. Receptor-mediated endocytosis plays a crucial role in the regulation of surface expression of adhesion molecules such as CD4. In T lymphocytes p56lck, a CD4-associated tyrosine kinase, prevents CD4 internalization, but in myeloid cells p56lck is not expressed and CD4 is constitutively internalized. In this study, we have investigated the role of cyclic AMP (cAMP) in the regulation of CD4 endocytosis in the myeloid cell line HL-60. Elevations of cellular cAMP were elicited by 1) cholera toxin, 2) pertussis toxin, 3) forskolin and IBMX, 4) NaF, or 5) the physiological receptor agonist prostaglandin E1. All five interventions led to an inhibition of CD4 internalization. Increased cAMP levels did not inhibit endocytosis per se, because internalization of insulin receptors and transferrin receptors and fluid phase endocytosis were either unchanged or slightly enhanced. The mechanism of cAMP inhibition was further analyzed at the ultrastructural level. CD4 internalization, followed either by quantitative electron microscopy autoradiography or by immunogold labeling, showed a rapid and temperature-dependent association of CD4 with clathrin-coated pits in control cells. This association was markedly inhibited in cells with elevated cAMP levels. Thus these findings suggest a second-messenger regulation of CD4 internalization through an inhibition of CD4 association with clathrin-coated pits in p56lck-negative cells.

Abstract
Insulin is the major anabolic hormone in humans and affects multiple cellular processes. Insulin rapidly regulates short-term effects on carbohydrate, lipid, and protein metabolism and is also a potent growth factor controlling cell proliferation and differentiation. The metabolic and growth-related effects require insulin binding to its receptor and receptor phosphorylation. Evidence suggests these events result in subsequent substrate phosphorylation and activation of multiple signaling pathways involving Src homology domain-containing proteins and the internalization of the insulin:receptor complex. The role of insulin internalization in insulin action is largely speculative. For more than two decades, extensive investigation has been carried out by numerous laboratories of the mechanisms by which insulin causes its pleiotropic responses and the cellular processing of insulin receptors. This chapter reviews our current knowledge of the phosphorylation signaling pathways activated by insulin and presents evidence that substrates other than insulin receptor substrate-1 are involved in insulin's regulation of immediate-early gene expression. We also review the mechanisms involved in insulin internalization and present evidence that internalization may play a key role in insulin action through both signal transduction processes and translocation of insulin to the cell cytoplasm and nucleus.

Abstract
Binding of alpha factor to Ste2p, a G protein-coupled plasma membrane receptor, activates a signal transduction pathway and stimulates endocytosis of the receptor-ligand complex. Ligand binding also induces ubiquitination of the Ste2p cytoplasmic tail. Protein ubiquitination is required for stimulated endocytosis of Ste2p, as internalization is 5- to 15-fold slower in ubc mutants that lack multiple ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes. In a C-terminal truncated form of Ste2p that is rapidly ubiquitinated and endocytosed in response to ligand binding, a single lysine to arginine substitution in its cytoplasmic tail eliminates both ubiquitination and internalization. Thus, ubiquitination of Ste2p itself is required for ligand-stimulated endocytosis. We propose that ubiquitination mediates degradation of receptor-ligand complexes, not via the proteasome, but by acting as a signal for endocytosis leading to subsequent degradation in the lysosome/vacuole.

Abstract
UNLABELLED A number of vanadium compounds (vanadate, vanadyl sulfate, metavanadate) have insulin-mimicking actions both in vitro and in vivo. They have multiple biological effects in cultured cells and interact directly with various enzymes. The inhibitory action on phosphoprotein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) and enhancement of cellular tyrosine phosphorylation appear to be the most relevant to explain the ability to mimic insulin. We demonstrated that in rat adipocytes both acute insulin effects, e.g. stimulation of IGF-II and transferrin binding and a chronic effect, insulin receptor downregulation, were stimulated by vanadate. Vanadate also enhanced insulin binding, particularly at very low insulin concentrations, associated with increased receptor affinity. This resulted in increased adipocyte insulin sensitivity. Finally vanadate augmented the extent of activation of the insulin receptor kinase by submaximal insulin concentrations. This was associated with a prolongation of the insulin biological response, lipogenesis, after removal of hormone. IN CONCLUSION in rat adipocytes vanadate promotes insulin action by three mechanisms, 1) a direct insulin-mimetic action, 2) an enhancement of insulin sensitivity and 3) a prolongation of insulin biological response. These data suggest that PTP inhibitors have potential as useful therapeutic agents in insulin-resistant and relatively insulin-deficient forms of diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
Insulin stimulation of 3T3-L1 adipocytes results in rapid activation of the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase followed by autophosphorylation of the receptor and phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1), its major substrate. The insulin receptor resides mostly at the cell surface of 3T3-L1 adipocytes under basal conditions, while about two-thirds of IRS-1 fractionates with intracellular membranes and one-third fractionates with cytosol. To test whether insulin receptor internalization is required for optimal tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1, 3T3-L1 adipocytes and CHO-T cells were incubated at 4 degrees C which inhibits receptor endocytosis but not its tyrosine kinase activity. Under these conditions, tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1 in the low density microsome fraction in response to insulin was as intense as that observed at 37 degrees C, indicating that endocytosis of insulin receptors is not necessary for tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1 to occur. Surprisingly, at 37 degrees C, insulin action on 3T3-L1 adipocytes progressively decreased the amount of IRS-1 protein associated with the low density microsome fraction and increased that in the cytosol. This redistribution of IRS-1 from the low density microsome fraction to the cytosol in response to insulin was accompanied by decreased electrophoretic mobility of IRS-1 on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Incubation of adipocytes at 4 degrees C blocked the appearance of tyrosine-phosphorylated IRS-1 in the cytosol. Taken together, these data indicate that insulin receptors phosphorylate IRS-1 at the cell surface, perhaps in coated pits which are included in the low density microsome fraction. The results also suggest a desensitization mechanism in which the tyrosine-phosphorylated membrane-bound IRS-1, associated with signaling molecules such as phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, is released into the cytoplasm in concert with its serine/threonine phosphorylation.

Abstract
pp120/HA4 is a hepatocyte membrane glycoprotein phosphorylated by the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase. In this study, we have investigated the role of pp120/HA4 in insulin action. Transfection of antisense pp120/HA4 cDNA in H35 hepatoma cells resulted in inhibition of pp120/HA4 expression and was associated with a 2-3-fold decrease in the rate of insulin internalization. Furthermore, insulin internalization in NIH 3T3 fibroblasts co-transfected with insulin receptors and pp120/HA4 was increased 2-fold compared with cells expressing insulin receptors alone. In contrast, no effect on internalization was observed in cells overexpressing a naturally occurring splice variant of pp120/HA4 that lacks the phosphorylation sites in the intracellular domain. Insulin internalization was also unaffected in cells expressing three site-directed mutants of pp120/HA4 in which the sites of phosphorylation by the insulin receptor kinase had been removed (Y488F, Y488F/Y513F, and S503A). Our data suggest that pp120/HA4 is part of a complex of proteins required for receptor-mediated internalization of insulin. It is possible that this function is regulated by insulin-induced phosphorylation of the intracellular domain of pp120/HA4.

Abstract
We analysed the biochemical properties of insulin receptors of a Type A insulin resistant patient with a single heterozygous point mutation substituting Gln for Arg1174. Insulin binding capacity and affinity to Epstein-Barr virus transformed lymphocytes was normal. Quantitative analysis of autophosphorylation and substrate phosphorylation of soluble insulin receptors isolated from patient cells revealed no differences in the basal state whereas in the presence of insulin autophosphorylation activity was only 30% of control receptors. The stimulation of substrate phosphorylation and down-regulation of receptors on patient cells after chronic exposure to insulin was diminished when compared to controls. We conclude that the heterozygous Arg1174 mutation does not perturb basal kinase activity but specifically interferes with the kinase activation by insulin and that the mutation has a dominant negative effect on the wild type kinase.

Abstract
Several cell surface receptors including the T cell receptor (TCR) are phosphorylated and down-regulated following activation of protein kinase C (PKC). Among other substrates the activated PKC in T cells phosphorylates the CD3 gamma subunit of the TCR. To investigate the role of CD3 gamma phosphorylation in PKC-mediated TCR down-regulation, point mutated CD3 gamma cDNA was transfected into the CD3 gamma-negative T cell line JGN and CD3 gamma transfectants were analysed. Phosphorylation at S126 but not S123 in the cytoplasmic tail of CD3 gamma was required for PKC-mediated down-regulation of the TCR. Furthermore, analysis of a series of CD3 gamma truncation mutants indicated that in addition to S126 phosphorylation a motif C-terminal of S126 was required for TCR down-regulation. Point mutation analyses confirmed this observation and demonstrated that a membrane-proximal di-leucine motif (L131 and L132) in the cytoplasmic tail of CD3 gamma was required for PKC-mediated TCR down-regulation in addition to phosphorylation at S126. Incubation of T cells in hypertonic medium known to disrupt normal clathrin lattices severely inhibited PKC-mediated TCR down-regulation in non-mutated T cells, indicating that the TCR was down-regulated by endocytosis via clathrin coated pits. Based on the present results and previously published observations on intracellular receptor sorting, a general model for intracellular sorting of receptors containing di-leucine- or tyrosine-based motifs is proposed.

Abstract
The data that we have reviewed indicate that insulin binds to a specific cell-surface receptor. The complex then becomes involved in a series of steps which lead the insulin-receptor complex to be internalized and rapidly delivered to endosomes. From this sorting station, the hormone is targeted to lysosomes to be degraded while the receptor is recycled back to the cell surface. This sequence of events presents two degrees of ligand specificity: (a) The first step is ligand-dependent and requires insulin-induced receptor phosphorylation of specific tyrosine residues. It consists in the surface redistribution of the receptor from microvilli where it preferentially localizes in its unoccupied form. (b) The second step is more general and consists in the association with clathrin-coated pits which represents the internalization gate common to many receptors. This sequence of events participates in the regulation of the biological action of the hormone and can thus be implicated in the pathophysiology of diabetes mellitus and various extreme insulin resistance syndromes, including type A extreme insulin resistance, leprechaunism, and Rabson-Mendehall syndrome. Alterations of the internalization process can result either from intrinsic abnormalities of the receptor or from more general alteration of the plasma membrane or of the cell metabolism. Type I diabetes is an example of the latter possibility, since general impairment of endocytosis could contribute to extracellular matrix accumulation and to an increase in blood cholesterol. Thus, better characterization of the molecular and cellular biology of the insulin receptor and of its journey inside the cell definitely leads to better understanding of disease states, including diabetes.
