Abstract
BACKGROUND We previously demonstrated that insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) regulates sodium/potassium adenosine triphosphatase (Na+/K+-ATPase) in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) via phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI3K). Taking into account that others' work show that IGF-1 activates the PI3K/protein kinase B (Akt) signaling pathway in many different cells, we here further questioned if the Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR)/ribosomal protein p70 S6 kinase (S6K) pathway stimulates Na+/K+-ATPase, an essential protein for maintaining normal heart function. METHODS AND RESULTS There were 14 adult male Wistar rats, half of whom received bolus injections of IGF-1 (50 μg/kg) for 24 h. We evaluated cardiac Na+/K+-ATPase expression, activity, and serum IGF-1 levels. Additionally, we examined the phosphorylated forms of the following proteins: insulin receptor substrate (IRS), phosphoinositide-dependent kinase-1 (PDK-1), Akt, mTOR, S6K, and α subunit of Na+/K+-ATPase. Additionally, the mRNA expression of the Na+/K+-ATPase α1 subunit was evaluated. Treatment with IGF-1 increases levels of serum IGF-1 and stimulates Na+/K+-ATPase activity, phosphorylation of α subunit of Na+/K+-ATPase on Ser23, and protein expression of α2 subunit. Furthermore, IGF-1 treatment increased phosphorylation of IRS-1 on Tyr1222, Akt on Ser473, PDK-1 on Ser241, mTOR on Ser2481 and Ser2448, and S6K on Thr421/Ser424. The concentration of IGF-1 in serum positively correlates with Na+/K+-ATPase activity and the phosphorylated form of mTOR (Ser2448), while Na+/K+-ATPase activity positively correlates with the phosphorylated form of IRS-1 (Tyr1222) and mTOR (Ser2448). CONCLUSION These results indicate that the Akt/mTOR/S6K signalling pathway may be involved in the IGF-1 regulating cardiac Na+/K+-ATPase expression and activity.

The (Na(+)/K (+))-ATPase activity in the developing rat retina: the role of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I). Cell Mol Neurobiol 2014; 35:243-54.

Abstract
In this work, the (Na(+)/K(+))-ATPase activity was evaluated during the early stages of the postnatal development of rat retina and showed an almost three-time increase from P0 to P14. Expression of the three catalytic subunit isoforms (α1, α2, and α3) of the (Na(+)/K(+))-ATPase was also evaluated by immunoblot in the same period, but no correlation to the catalytic activity increment was observed. On the other hand, immunolocalization of these three α-catalytic isoforms in the developing retina showed an age-related pattern. Involvement of IGF-I in the stimulation of the (Na(+)/K(+))-ATPase was investigated. Our results demonstrate that the exogenous IGF-I (10 ng/mL) stimulates enzyme activity at the age of P7 only. Incubation of retinas with 10 μM I-OMe-AG 538 (inhibitor of the IGF-I receptor) indicates that the basal (Na(+)/K(+))-ATPase activity is sustained by endogenous IGF-I in P7 animals. These data were corroborated by an age-dependent decrease in the immunodetection of endogenous IGF-I as well as in the phosphorylation level of its cognate receptor in rat retina homogenates. The signaling pathway involved in IGF-I-induced modulation of the (Na(+)/K(+))-ATPase was also investigated. Our data show that the inhibitory effects induced by I-OMe-AG 538 and the PI 3-kinase inhibitor Ly 294002 on the basal (Na(+)/K(+))-ATPase activity were non-cumulative. Furthermore, IGF-I induced phosphorylation of PKB in a Ly 294002-sensitive manner. Together, these data demonstrate that the PI 3-kinase/PKB signaling pathway is involved in the IGF-I-sustained basal (Na(+)/K(+))-ATPase activity during the first 7 days of the postnatal development of rat retina.

Abstract
The inward l-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-dopa) transport supplies renal proximal tubule cells (PTCs) with the precursor for dopamine synthesis. We have previously described insulin-induced stimulation of L-dopa uptake into PTCs. In the present paper we examined insulin-related signaling pathways involved in the increase of l-dopa transport into isolated rat PTCs. Insulin (50-500 microU/ml) increased L-dopa uptake by PTCs, reaching the maximal increment (60% over the control) at 200 microU/ml. At this concentration, insulin also increased insulin receptor tyrosine phosphorylation. Both effects were abrogated by the tyrosine kinase inhibitor genistein (5 microM). In line, inhibition of the protein tyrosine phosphatase by pervanadate (0.2-100 microM) caused a concentration-dependent increase in both the uptake of L-dopa (up to 400%) and protein tyrosine phosphorylation. A synergistic effect between pervanadate and insulin on L-dopa uptake was observed only when threshold (0.2 microM), but not maximal (5 microM), concentrations of pervanadate were assayed. Insulin-induced stimulation of L-dopa uptake was also abolished by inhibition of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K; 100 nM wortmannin, and 25 microM LY-294002) and protein kinase C (PKC; 1 microM RO-318220). Insulin-induced activation of PKC-zeta was confirmed in vitro by its translocation from the cytosol to the membrane fraction, and in vivo by immunohistochemistry studies. Insulin caused a wortmannin-sensitive increase in Akt/protein kinase B (Akt/PKB) phosphorylation and a dose-dependent translocation of Akt/PKB to the membrane fraction. Our findings suggest that insulin activates PKC-zeta, and Akt/PKB downstream of PI3K, and that these pathways contribute to the insulin-induced increase of L-dopa uptake into PTCs.

Abstract
We investigated the effects of exclusive and sustained transgenic overexpression of insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I in the central nervous system (CNS) on the age-dependent decline in muscle strength, excitation-contraction coupling, muscle innervation and neuromuscular junction postterminal architecture. We found that (1) transgenic IGF-I overexpression in the CNS does not modify the decline in extensor digitorum longus (EDL) and soleus muscle weight with aging and (2) strength significantly decreases in transgenic (Tg) compared to wild-type mice. The latter finding is consistent with (3) the decreased absolute and specific force measured in the EDL muscle in vitro and (4) the decreased charge movement and peak intracellular Ca(2+) mobilization in individual muscle fibers from old IGF-I Tg mice compared to young wild-type mice, which also is associated with (5) decreased dihydropyridine receptor alpha(1)-subunit expression in old compared to young IGF-I Tg mice. (6) Tg IGF-I prevents a change in muscle fiber type that is associated with (7) improved muscle innervation and postterminal neuromuscular structure. (8) IGF-I is expressed extensively across the spinal cord gray matter and the lateral motor column. Our results raise questions about the timing and cell location of CNS IGF-I overexpression necessary to prevent or to ameliorate age-dependent alterations in the structure and function of skeletal muscle.

Abstract
Transepithelial Cl(-) secretion in polarized renal A6 cells is composed of two steps: (1) Cl(-) entry step across the basolateral membrane mediated by Na(+)/K(+)/2Cl(-) cotransporter (NKCC) and (2) Cl(-) releasing step across the apical membrane via cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) Cl(-) channel. We estimated CFTR Cl(-) channel activity and transcellular Cl(-) secretion by measuring 5-nitro 2-(3-phenylpropylamino)benzoate (NPPB, a blocker of CFTR Cl(-) channel)-sensitive transepithelial conductance (Gt) and short-circuit current (Isc), respectively. Pretreatment with 1 microM insulin for 24 h had no effects on NPPB-sensitive Gt or Isc. On the other hand, in A6 cells treated with carbobenzoxy-L-leucyl-leucyl-L-leucinal (MG132; 100 microM for 2 h) that inhibits endocytosis of proteins at the plasma membrane into the cytosolic space, insulin pretreatment increased the NPPB-sensitive Isc with no effects on NPPB-sensitive Gt. Genistein (100 microM) induced sustained increases in NPPB-sensitive Gt and Isc, which were diminished by brefeldin A (a blocker of protein translocation to Golgi apparatus from endoplasmic reticulum). Co-application of insulin and genistein synergically stimulated the NPPB-sensitive Isc without any effects on NPPB-sensitive Gt. These observations suggest that: (1) insertion and endocytosis of NKCC are stimulated by insulin, (2) the insulin-induced stimulation of NKCC insertion into the basolateral membrane is offset by the stimulatory action on NKCC endocytosis from the basolateral membrane, (3) genistein stimulates insertion of both CFTR Cl(-) channel into the apical membrane and NKCC into the basolateral membrane, and (4) insulin and genistein synergically stimulated NKCC insertion into the basolateral membrane.

Abstract
We have identified an unusual potential dual Akt/protein kinase B consensus phosphorylation motif in the protein Synip (RxKxRS97xS99). Surprisingly, serine 97 is not appreciably phosphorylated, whereas serine 99 is only a specific substrate for Akt2 but not Akt1 or Akt3. Although wild-type Synip (WT-Synip) undergoes an insulin-stimulated dissociation from Syntaxin4, the Synip serine 99 to phenylalanine mutant (S99F-Synip) is resistant to Akt2 phosphorylation and fails to display insulin-stimulated Syntaxin4 dissociation. Furthermore, overexpression of WT-Synip in 3T3L1 adipocytes had no effect on insulin-stimulated recruitment of glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) to the plasma membrane, whereas overexpression of S99F-Synip functioned in a dominant-interfering manner by preventing insulin-stimulated GLUT4 recruitment and plasma membrane fusion. These data demonstrate that insulin activation of Akt2 specifically regulates the docking/fusion step of GLUT4-containing vesicles at the plasma membrane through the regulation of Synip phosphorylation and Synip–Syntaxin4 interaction.

Abstract
Diminished insulin (Ins) sensitivity is a characteristic feature of various pathological conditions such as the cardiometabolic syndrome, Type 2 diabetes, and hypertension. Persons with essential hypertension are more prone than normotensive persons to develop diabetes, and this propensity may reflect decreased ability of Ins to promote relaxation and glucose transport in vascular and skeletal muscle tissue, respectively. There are increasing data suggesting that ANG II acting through its ANG type 1 receptor inhibits the actions of Ins in vascular and skeletal muscle tissue, in part, by interfering with Ins signally through phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) and its downstream protein kinase B (Akt) signaling pathways. This inhibitory action of ANG II is mediated, in part, through stimulation of RhoA activity and oxidative stress. Activated RhoA and increased reactive oxygen species inhibition of PI3K/Akt signaling results in decreased endothelial cell production of nitric oxide, increased myosin light chain activation with vasoconstriction, and reduced skeletal muscle glucose transport.

Abstract
The cardiometabolic syndrome, an interesting constellation of maladaptive cardiovascular, renal, metabolic, prothrombotic, and inflammatory abnormalities, is now recognized as a disease entity by the American Society of Endocrinology, National Cholesterol Education Program, and World Health Organization, among others. These cardiovascular and metabolic derangements individually and interdependently lead to a substantial increase in cardiovascular disease (CVD) morbidity and mortality, making the cardiometabolic syndrome an established and strong risk factor for premature and severe CVD and stroke. Established and evolving treatment strategies including moderate physical activity, weight reduction, rigorous blood pressure control, correction of dyslipidemia, and glycemic control have proven beneficial in reversing these abnormal responses and decreasing the CVD risk.

Abstract
A modest diet-induced increase in serum cholesterol in rabbits increases the sensitivity of the sarcolemmal Na+/K+ pump to intracellular Na+, whereas a large increase in cholesterol levels decreases the sensitivity to Na+. To examine the mechanisms, we isolated cardiac myocytes from controls and from rabbits with diet-induced increases in serum cholesterol. The myocytes were voltage clamped with the use of patch pipettes that contained osmotically balanced solutions with Na+ in a concentration of 10 mM and K+ in concentrations ([K+]pip) ranging from 0 to 140 mM. There was no effect of dietary cholesterol on electrogenic Na+/K+ current (Ip) when pipette solutions were K+ free. A modest increase in serum cholesterol caused a [K+]pip-dependent increase in Ip, whereas a large increase caused a [K+]pip-dependent decrease in Ip. Modeling suggested that pump stimulation with a modest increase in serum cholesterol can be explained by a decrease in the microscopic association constant KK describing the backward reaction E1 + 2K+ --> E2(K+)2, whereas pump inhibition with a large increase in serum cholesterol can be explained by an increase in KK. Because hypercholesterolemia upregulates angiotensin II receptors and because angiotensin II regulates the Na+/K+ pump in cardiac myocytes in a [K+]pip-dependent manner, we blocked angiotensin synthesis or angiotensin II receptors in vivo in cholesterol-fed rabbits. This abolished cholesterol-induced pump inhibition. Because the epsilon-isoform of protein kinase C (epsilonPKC) mediates effects of angiotensin II on the pump, we included specific epsilonPKC-blocking peptide in patch pipette filling solutions. The peptide reversed cholesterol-induced pump inhibition.

Abstract
Insulin stimulates K(+) uptake and Na(+) efflux via the Na(+)-K(+) pump in kidney, skeletal muscle, and brain. The mechanism of insulin action in these tissues differs, in part, because of differences in the isoform complement of the catalytic alpha-subunit of the Na(+)-K(+) pump. To analyze specifically the effect of insulin on the alpha(1)-isoform of the pump, we have studied human embryonic kidney (HEK)-293 cells stably transfected with the rat Na(+)-K(+) pump alpha(1)-isoform tagged on its first exofacial loop with a hemagglutinin (HA) epitope. The plasma membrane content of alpha(1)-subunits was quantitated by binding a specific HA antibody to intact cells. Insulin rapidly increased the number of alpha(1)-subunits at the cell surface. This gain was sensitive to the phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase inhibitor wortmannin and to the protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor bisindolylmaleimide. Furthermore, the insulin-stimulated gain in surface alpha-subunits correlated with an increase in the binding of an antibody that recognizes only the nonphosphorylated form of alpha(1) (at serine-18). These results suggest that insulin regulates the Na(+)-K(+) pump in HEK-293 cells, at least in part, by decreasing serine phosphorylation and increasing plasma membrane content of alpha(1)-subunits via a signaling pathway involving PI 3-kinase and PKC.

Abstract
The Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase, or sodium pump, is the membrane-bound enzyme that maintains the Na(+) and K(+) gradients across the plasma membrane of animal cells. Because of its importance in many basic and specialized cellular functions, this enzyme must be able to adapt to changing cellular and physiological stimuli. This review presents an overview of the many mechanisms in place to regulate sodium pump activity in a tissue-specific manner. These mechanisms include regulation by substrates, membrane-associated components such as cytoskeletal elements and the gamma-subunit, and circulating endogenous inhibitors as well as a variety of hormones, including corticosteroids, peptide hormones, and catecholamines. In addition, the review considers the effects of a range of specific intracellular signaling pathways involved in the regulation of pump activity and subcellular distribution, with particular consideration given to the effects of protein kinases and phosphatases.

Abstract
Insulin enhances Na(+)-K(+) pump activity in various noncardiac tissues. We examined whether insulin exposure in vitro regulates Na(+)-K(+) pump function in rabbit ventricular myocytes. Pump current (I(p)) was measured using the whole-cell patch-clamp technique at test potentials (V(m)s) from -100 to +60 mV. When the Na(+) concentration in the patch pipette ([Na](pip)) was 10 mM, insulin caused a V(m)-dependent increase in I(p). The increase was approximately 70% when V(m) was at near physiological diastolic potentials. This effect persisted after elimination of extracellular voltage-dependent steps and when K(+) and K(+)-congeners were excluded from the patch pipettes. When [Na](pip) was 80 mM, causing near-maximal pump stimulation, insulin had no effect, suggesting that it did not cause an increase in membrane pump density. Effects of tyrphostin A25, wortmannin, okadaic acid, or bisindolylmaleimide I in pipette solutions suggested that the insulin-induced increase in I(p) involved activation of tyrosine kinase, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, and protein phosphatase 1, whereas protein phosphatase 2A and protein kinase C were not involved.
