Abstract
AKT1 and AKT2, the AKT isoforms that are highly expressed in skeletal muscle, have distinct and overlapping functions, with AKT2 more important for insulin-stimulated glucose metabolism. In adipocytes, AKT2 versus AKT1 has greater susceptibility for insulin-mediated redistribution from cytosolic to membrane localization, and insulin also causes subcellular redistribution of AKT Substrate of 160 kDa (AS160), an AKT2 substrate and crucial mediator of insulin-stimulated glucose transport. Although skeletal muscle is the major tissue for insulin-mediated glucose disposal, little is known about AKT1, AKT2 or AS160 subcellular localization in skeletal muscle. The major aim of this study was to determine insulin’s effects on the subcellular localization and phosphorylation of AKT1, AKT2 and AS160 in skeletal muscle. Rat skeletal muscles were incubated ex vivo ± insulin, and differential centrifugation was used to isolate cytosolic and membrane fractions. The results revealed that: 1) insulin increased muscle membrane localization of AKT2, but not AKT1; 2) insulin increased AKT2 phosphorylation in the cytosol and membrane fractions; 3) insulin increased AS160 localization to the cytosol and membranes; and 4) insulin increased AS160 phosphorylation in the cytosol, but not membranes. These results demonstrate distinctive insulin effects on the subcellular redistribution of AKT2 and its substrate AS160 in skeletal muscle.

Abstract
The slit diaphragm (SD), the specialized intercellular junction between renal glomerular epithelial cells (podocytes), provides a selective-filtration barrier in renal glomeruli. Dysfunction of the SD results in glomerular diseases that are characterized by disappearance of SD components, such as nephrin, from the cell surface. Although the importance of endocytosis and degradation of SD components for the maintenance of SD integrity has been suggested, the dynamic nature of the turnover of intact cell-surface SD components remained unclear. Using isolated rat glomeruli we show that the turnover rates of cell-surface SD components are relatively high; they almost completely disappear from the cell surface within minutes. The exocytosis, but not endocytosis, of heterologously expressed nephrin requires the kinase activity of the cell polarity regulator atypical protein kinase C (aPKC). Consistently, we demonstrate that podocyte-specific deletion of aPKCλ resulted in a decrease of cell-surface localization of SD components, causing massive proteinuria. In conclusion, the regulation of SD turnover by aPKC is crucial for the maintenance of SD integrity and defects in aPKC signalling can lead to proteinuria. These findings not only reveal the pivotal importance of the dynamic turnover of cell-surface SD components but also suggest a novel pathophysiological basis in glomerular disease.

Abstract
Exercise can increase skeletal muscle sensitivity to insulin, improve insulin resistance and regulate glucose homeostasis in rat models of type 2 diabetes. However, the potential mechanism remains poorly understood. In this study, we established a male Sprague–Dawley rat model of type 2 diabetes, with insulin resistance and β cell dysfunction, which was induced by a high-fat diet and low-dose streptozotocin to replicate the pathogenesis and metabolic characteristics of type 2 diabetes in humans. We also investigated the possible mechanism by which chronic and acute exercise improves metabolism, and the phosphorylation and expression of components of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and downstream components of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) signaling pathways in the soleus. As a result, blood glucose, triglyceride, total cholesterol, and free fatty acid were significantly increased, whereas insulin level progressively declined in diabetic rats. Interestingly, chronic and acute exercise reduced blood glucose, increased phosphorylation and expression of AMPKα1/2 and the isoforms AMPKα1 and AMPKα2, and decreased phosphorylation and expression of AMPK substrate, acetyl CoA carboxylase (ACC). Chronic exercise upregulated phosphorylation and expression of AMPK upstream kinase, LKB1. But acute exercise only increased LKB1 expression. In particular, exercise reversed the changes in protein kinase C (PKC)ζ/λ phosphorylation, and PKCζ phosphorylation and expression. Additionally, exercise also increased protein kinase B (PKB)/Akt1, Akt2 and GLUT4 expression, but AS160 protein expression was unchanged. Chronic exercise elevated Akt (Thr308) and (Ser473) and AS160 phosphorylation. Finally, we found that exercise increased peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator 1 (PGC1) mRNA expression in the soleus of diabetic rats. These results indicate that both chronic and acute exercise influence the phosphorylation and expression of components of the AMPK and downstream to PIK3 (aPKC, Akt), and improve GLUT4 trafficking in skeletal muscle. These data help explain the mechanism how exercise regulates glucose homeostasis in diabetic rats.

Abstract
AIMS We evaluated if selected pro-inflammatory cytokines and/or the protein suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS-3) could account for decreased insulin-stimulated phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-K) activity in the skeletal muscle of the obese Zucker rat. MAIN METHODS Eight lean and eight obese Zucker rats ~4weeks of age were obtained and allowed to feed ad libitum for 4weeks before undergoing hind limb perfusion in the presence of 500μU/ml insulin. KEY FINDINGS Insulin-stimulated skeletal muscle PI3-K activity and 3-O-methylglucose transport rates were reduced (P<0.05) in obese compared to lean animals. IRS-1 concentration remained unchanged although IRS-1 tyrosine phosphorylation was decreased (P<0.05), and IRS-1 serine phosphorylation (pS) was increased (P<0.05) in obese animals compared to lean animals. IKKα/β pS and JNK theronine/tyrosine phosphorylation was increased (P<0.05) in the obese animals. IκBα concentration was decreased (P<0.05) and IκBα pS was increased (P<0.05) in the obese compared to lean Zucker animals. SOCS-3 concentration and SOCS-3 co-immunoprecipitation with both insulin receptor β-subunit (IR-β) and IRS-1 were elevated (P<0.05) in obese compared to lean animals. IRS-1 co-immunoprecipitation with IR-β was reduced 56% in the obese animals. SIGNIFICANCE Increased IKKα/β and JNK serine phosphorylation may contribute to increasing IRS-1 serine phosphorylation, while concurrent co-localization of SOCS-3 with both IR-β and IRS-1 may prevent IRS-1 from interacting with IR-β. These two mechanisms thusly may independently contribute to impairing insulin-stimulated PI3-K activation in the skeletal muscle of the obese Zucker rat.

Metabolic responses to high-fat diets rich in n-3 or n-6 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids in mice selected for either high body weight or leanness explain different health outcomes. Nutr Metab (Lond) 2011; 8:56.

Abstract
Background Increasing evidence suggests that diets high in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) confer health benefits by improving insulin sensitivity and lipid metabolism in liver, muscle and adipose tissue. Methods The present study investigates metabolic responses in two different lines of mice either selected for high body weight (DU6) leading to rapid obesity development, or selected for high treadmill performance (DUhTP) leading to a lean phenotype. At 29 days of age the mice were fed standard chow (7.2% fat, 25.7% protein), or a high-fat diet rich in n-3 PUFA (n-3 HFD, 27.7% fat, 19% protein) or a high-fat diet rich in n-6 PUFA (n-6 HFD, 27.7% fat, 18.6% protein) for 8 weeks. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of these PUFA-rich high-fat diets on the fatty acid profile and on the protein expression of key components of insulin signalling pathways. Results Plasma concentrations of leptin and insulin were higher in DU6 in comparison with DUhTP mice. The high-fat diets stimulated a strong increase in leptin levels and body fat only in DU6 mice. Muscle and liver fatty acid composition were clearly changed by dietary lipid composition. In both lines of mice n-3 HFD feeding significantly reduced the hepatic insulin receptor β protein concentration which may explain decreased insulin action in liver. In contrast, protein kinase C ζ expression increased strongly in abdominal fat of n-3 HFD fed DUhTP mice, indicating enhanced insulin sensitivity in adipose tissue. Conclusions A diet high in n-3 PUFA may facilitate a shift from fuel deposition in liver to fuel storage as fat in adipose tissue in mice. Tissue specific changes in insulin sensitivity may describe, at least in part, the health improving properties of dietary n-3 PUFA. However, important genotype-diet interactions may explain why such diets have little effect in some population groups.

Abstract
High-fat feeding activates components of the pro-inflammatory pathway and increases co-immunoprecipitation of suppressor of cytokine signalling (SOCS)-3 with both the insulin receptor (IR)-β subunit and IRS-1, which together contribute to keeping PI-3 kinase from being fully activated. However, whether aerobic training reverses these impairments is unknown. Sprague-Dawley rats were fed a chow (CON, n = 8) or saturated high-fat (n = 16) diets for 4 weeks. High-fat-fed rats were then allocated (n = 8/group) to either sedentary (HF) or aerobic exercise training (HFX) for an additional 4 weeks after which all animals underwent hind limb perfusions. Insulin-stimulated red quadriceps 3-O-methylglucose transport rates and PI-3 kinase activity were greater (p < 0.05) in CON and HFX compared to HF. IRS-1 tyrosine phosphorylation was increased (p < 0.05) and IRS-1 serine 307 phosphorylation was decreased (p < 0.05) in HFX compared to HF. IR-β subunit co-immunoprecipitation with IRS-1 was increased in HFX compared to HF. SOCS-3 co-immunoprecipitation with both the IR-β subunit and IRS-1 was decreased (p < 0.05) in HFX compared to HF. IKKα/β serine phosphorylation, and IκBα serine phosphorylation were decreased (p < 0.05) while IκBα protein concentration was increased in HFX compared to HF. By decreasing the association of SOCS-3 with both the IR-β subunit and IRS-1 the interaction between IRS-1 and the IR-β subunit was normalized in the HFX, and may have contributed to skeletal muscle PI-3 kinase being fully activated by insulin. Additionally, the reduction in IKKα/β serine phosphorylation in HFX may have contributed to decreasing IRS-1 serine phosphorylation, and in turn, promoted the normalization of insulin-stimulated activation of PI-3 kinase.

Abstract
Agonists targeting the nuclear receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPAR)-delta may be potential therapeutic agents for insulin-resistant related conditions, as they may be able to stimulate fatty acid (FA) oxidation and attenuate the accumulation of harmful lipid species in skeletal muscle. Several reports have demonstrated that PPAR-delta agonists improve whole body insulin sensitivity. However, whether these agonists exert their direct effects on glucose and FA metabolism in skeletal muscle, and specifically with different fiber types, is unknown. This study was undertaken to determine the effects of oral treatment with the PPAR-delta agonist, GW 501516, in conjunction with the administration of a high-saturated-fat diet on insulin-stimulated glucose transport in isolated oxidative (soleus) and glycolytic (epitrochlearis) rodent skeletal muscle in vitro. High-fat feeding significantly decreased maximal insulin-stimulated glucose transport in soleus, but not epitrochlearis muscle, and was associated with increased skeletal muscle diacylglycerol and ceramide content. Unexpectedly, treatment with the PPAR-delta agonist significantly reduced insulin-stimulated glucose transport in both soleus and epitrochlearis muscles, regardless of dietary fat content. The reduction in insulin-stimulated glucose transport induced by the agonist was associated with large increases in total muscle fatty acid translocase (FAT)/CD36protein content, but not diacylglycerol or ceramide contents. Agonist treatment did not alter the protein content of PPAR-delta, GLUT4, or insulin-signaling proteins (IRS-1, p85 PI3-K, Akt). Agonist treatment led to a small, but significant increase, in the oxidative capacity of glycolytic but not oxidative muscle. We propose that chronic treatment with the PPAR-delta agonist GW 501516 may induce or worsen insulin resistance in rodent skeletal muscle by increasing the capacity for FA transport across the sarcolemma without a sufficient compensatory increase in FA oxidation. However, an accumulation of diacylglycerol and ceramide, while associated with diet-induced insulin resistance, does not appear to be responsible for the agonist-induced reduction in insulin-stimulated glucose transport.

Abstract
Suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS) proteins and/or activation of the proinflammatory pathway have been postulated as possible mechanisms that may contribute to skeletal muscle insulin resistance. Thus, the aims of the present investigation were to determine in high-fat-fed skeletal muscle: 1) whether SOCS-3 protein concentration is increased, 2) whether coimmunoprecipitation of SOCS-3 with the insulin receptor-beta subunit and/or IRS-1 is increased, and 3) whether select components of the proinflammatory pathway are altered. Thirty-two male Sprague-Dawley rats were assigned to either control (CON, n = 16) or high-fat-fed (HF, n = 16) dietary groups for 12 wk and then subjected to hind limb perfusions in the presence (n = 8/group) or absence (n = 8/group) of insulin. Insulin-stimulated skeletal muscle 3-MG transport rates and PI-3 kinase activity were greater (P < 0.05) in CON. IRS-1 tyrosine phosphorylation was decreased (P < 0.05), and IRS-1 serine 307 phosphorylation was increased (P < 0.05) in HF. Insulin receptor-beta (IR-beta) subunit coimmunoprecipitation with IRS-1 was reduced in HF. SOCS-3 protein concentration and SOCS-3 coimmunoprecipitation with both the IR-beta subunit and IRS-1 was increased (P < 0.05) in HF. IKKalpha/beta serine phosphorylation was increased (P < 0.05), IkappaBalpha protein concentration was decreased (P < 0.05) and IkappaBalpha serine phosphorylation was increased (P < 0.05) in HF. Increased colocalization of SOCS-3 with both the IR-beta subunit and IRS-1 may provide steric hindrance that prevents IRS-1 from interacting with IR-beta, while increased IKKbeta serine phosphorylation may contribute to increasing IRS-1 serine phosphorylation, both of which independently can have deleterious effects on insulin-stimulated PI-3 kinase activation in high-fat-fed rodent skeletal muscle.

Abstract
The aims of this investigation were 1) to determine whether endurance exercise training could reverse impairments in insulin-stimulated compartmentalization and/or activation of aPKCzeta/lambda and Akt2 in skeletal muscle from high-fat-fed rodents and 2) to assess whether the PPARgamma agonist rosiglitazone could reverse impairments in skeletal muscle insulin signaling typically observed after high-fat feeding. Sprague-Dawley rats were placed on chow (NORCON, n = 16) or high-fat (n = 64) diets for 4 wk. During a subsequent 4-wk experimental period, high-fat-fed rats were allocated (n = 16/group) to either sedentary control (HFC), exercise training (HFX), rosiglitazone treatment (HFRSG), or a combination of both exercise training and rosiglitazone (HFRX). Following the 4-wk experimental period, animals underwent hindlimb perfusions. Insulin-stimulated plasma membrane-associated aPKCzeta and -lambda protein concentration, aPKCzeta/lambda activity, GLUT4 protein concentration, cytosolic Akt2, and aPKCzeta/lambda activities were reduced (P < 0.05) in HFC compared with NORCON. Cytosolic Akt2, aPKCzeta, and aPKClambda protein concentrations were not affected in HFC compared with NORCON. Exercise training reversed the deleterious effects of the high-fat diet such that insulin-stimulated compartmentalization and activation of components of the insulin-signaling cascade in HFX were normalized to NORCON. High-fat diet-induced impairments to skeletal muscle glucose metabolism were not reversed by rosiglitazone administration, nor did rosiglitazone augment the effect of exercise. Our findings indicate that chronic exercise training, but not rosiglitazone, reverses high-fat diet induced impairments in compartmentalization and activation of components of the insulin-signaling cascade in skeletal muscle.

Abstract
We examined, in soleus muscle, the effects of prolonged palmitate exposure (0, 6, 12, 18 h) on insulin-stimulated glucose transport, intramuscular lipid accumulation and oxidation, activation of selected insulin-signaling proteins, and the insulin-stimulated translocation of GLUT4. Insulin-stimulated glucose transport was progressively reduced after 6 h (-33%), 12 h (-66%), and 18 h (-89%) of palmitate exposure. These decrements were closely associated with concurrent reductions in palmitate oxidation at 6 h (-40%), 12 h (-60%), and 18 h (-67%). In contrast, intramuscular ceramide (+24%) and diacylglycerol (+32%) concentrations, insulin-stimulated AS160 (-36%) and PRAS40 (-33%) phosphorylations, and Akt (-40%), PKCtheta (-50%), and GLUT4 translocation (-40%) to the plasma membrane were all maximally altered within the first 6 h of palmitate treatment. No further changes were observed in any of these parameters after 12 and 18 h of palmitate exposure. Thus, the intrinsic activity of GLUT4 was markedly reduced after 12 and 18 h of palmitate treatment. During this reduced GLUT4 intrinsic activity phase at 12 and 18 h, the reduction in glucose transport was twofold greater compared with the early phase (< or =6 h), when only GLUT4 translocation was impaired. Our study indicates that palmitate-induced insulin resistance is provoked by two distinct mechanisms: 1) an early phase (< or =6 h), during which lipid-mediated impairments in insulin signaling and GLUT4 translocation reduce insulin-stimulated glucose transport, followed by 2) a later phase (12 and 18 h), during which the intrinsic activity of GLUT4 is markedly reduced independently of any further alterations in intramuscular lipid accumulation, insulin signaling and GLUT4 translocation.

Abstract
Both pharmacological intervention (i.e., thiazolidinediones [TZDs]) and lifestyle modification (i.e., exercise training) are clinically effective treatments for improving whole-body insulin sensitivity. However, the mechanism(s) by which these therapies reverse lipid-induced insulin resistance in skeletal muscle is unclear. We determined the effects of 4 weeks of rosiglitazone treatment and exercise training and their combined actions (rosiglitazone treatment and exercise training) on lipid and glucose metabolism in high-fat-fed rats. High-fat feeding resulted in decreased muscle insulin sensitivity, which was associated with increased rates of palmitate uptake and the accumulation of the fatty acid metabolites ceramide and diacylglycerol. Impairments in lipid metabolism were accompanied by defects in the Akt/AS160 signaling pathway. Exercise training, but not rosiglitazone treatment, reversed these impairments, resulting in improved insulin-stimulated glucose transport and increased rates of fatty acid oxidation in skeletal muscle. The improvements to glucose and lipid metabolism observed with exercise training were associated with increased AMP-activated protein kinase alpha1 activity; increased expression of Akt1, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1, and GLUT4; and a decrease in AS160 expression. In contrast, rosiglitazone treatment exacerbated lipid accumulation and decreased insulin-stimulated glucose transport in skeletal muscle. However, rosiglitazone, but not exercise training, increased adipose tissue GLUT4 and acetyl CoA carboxylase expression. Both exercise training and rosiglitazone decreased liver triacylglycerol content. Although both interventions can improve whole-body insulin sensitivity, our results show that they produce divergent effects on protein expression and triglyceride storage in different tissues. Accordingly, exercise training and rosiglitazone may act as complementary therapies for the treatment of insulin resistance.

Abstract
Previously, we suggested that the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)-p70 S6 kinase (p70 S6K) pathway plays an important role in granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF)-dependent enhancement of the neutrophilic differentiation and proliferation of HL-60 cells. While atypical protein kinase C (PKC) has been reported to be a regulator of p70 S6K, abundant expression of PKCiota was observed in myeloid and lymphoid cells. Therefore, we analyzed the participation of PKCiota in G-CSF-dependent proliferation. The maximum stimulation of PKCiota was observed from 15 to 30 min after the addition of G-CSF. From 5 to 15 min into this lag time, PKCiota was found to translocate from the nucleus to the membrane. At 30 min it re-translocated to the cytosol. This dynamic translocation of PKCiota was also observed in G-CSF-stimulated myeloperoxidase-positive cells differentiated from cord blood cells. Small interfering RNA for PKCiota inhibited G-CSF-induced proliferation and the promotion of neutrophilic differentiation of HL-60 cells. These data indicate that the G-CSF-induced dynamic translocation and activation processes of PKCiota are important to neutrophilic proliferation.
