Effect of rosiglitazone on capillary density and angiogenesis in adipose tissue of normoglycaemic humans in a randomised controlled trial. Diabetologia 2012; 55:2794-2799.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS Recent reports of decreased capillary density in the adipose tissue of obese individuals suggest that an imbalance of angiogenesis and adipogenesis may, in part, underlie insulin resistance. This study aimed to determine whether the insulin-sensitising peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) activator rosiglitazone affects adipose tissue vascularisation in normal humans. METHODS A randomised, parallel-group, investigator-blinded placebo-controlled trial was conducted with normoglycaemic volunteers with BMI 27-43, recruited from the community at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, Worcester, MA, USA. Peri-umbilical adipose tissue biopsies were obtained before and after treatment for 6 weeks with rosiglitazone (8 mg once daily) or placebo, which were randomly allocated from a sequentially numbered list. The primary outcomes were adipocyte size and capillary density measured by immunohistochemistry, and angiogenic potential assessed by capillary sprout formation in Matrigel. Secondary outcomes were serum adiponectin, glycaemic, lipid and liver function variables. RESULTS A total of 35 individuals fulfilling the inclusion criteria were randomised, and complete before-vs-after analyses were achieved in 30 participants (13 and 17, placebo and rosiglitazone, respectively). Significant differences, assessed by paired two-tailed Student t tests, were seen in response to rosiglitazone for adipocyte size (3,458 ± 202 vs 2,693 ± 223 μm(2), p = 0.0049), capillary density (5.6 ± 0.5 vs 7.5 ± 0.5 lumens/field, p = 0.0098), serum adiponectin (14.3 ± 1.5 vs 28.6 ± 3.0 ng/ml, p < 0.0001) and alkaline phosphatase (1.04 ± 0.07 vs 0.87 ± 0.05 μkat/l, p = 0.001). A difference in angiogenic potential before and after treatment between the placebo and rosiglitazone groups was also seen (-23.88 ± 14 vs 13.42 ± 13, p = 0.029, two-tailed Mann-Whitney test). CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION Significant effects on adipose tissue vascular architecture occur after a short period of treatment with rosiglitazone in individuals with normal glucose tolerance. Improved adipose tissue vascularisation may, in part, mediate the therapeutic actions of this class of drugs. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01150981 FUNDING The study was funded by National Institutes of Health grant DK089101 to S. Corvera, and by pilot funding from the University of Massachusetts (UMASS) Center for Clinical Translational Sciences (M. Thompson, S. Malkani and S. Corvera). Morphology core services were supported by UMASS Diabetes Endocrine Research Center (DERC) grant DK32520.

Abstract
Insulin and the insulin-like growth factors (IGF) I and II are structurally related peptides that elicit a large number of similar biological effects in target cells. Three well-characterized receptor complexes bind one or more of these peptides with high affinity. Two of these receptors, denoted as type I, are ligand-activated tyrosine kinases with similar heterotetrameric alpha 2 beta 2 subunit structures which bind insulin or IGF-I, respectively, with highest affinity. Ligand-stimulated tyrosine autophosphorylation of these receptors further activates their intrinsic tyrosine kinase activities both in vitro and in intact cells. Rapid signal transduction follows such receptor autophosphorylation and tyrosine kinase activation, leading to increased serine phosphorylation of many cellular proteins and decreased serine phosphorylation of several others. Experiments in our laboratory have identified three distinct insulin-activated serine kinase activities in cell-free extracts that appear to account for the insulin-stimulated serine phosphorylation of the insulin receptor itself, ATP citrate lyase, and acetyl CoA carboxylase, respectively. A third receptor in this group binds IGF-I and II, lacks kinase activity and is denoted as type II IGF receptor. Amino acid sequences of this receptor deduced from isolated rat cDNA clones show a high degree of homology with those of the bovine cation-independent mannose 6-phosphate (Man-6-P) receptor. We demonstrated that these receptors are indeed identical. The IGF-II/Man-6-P receptor rapidly recycles between the cell surface membrane and intracellular membrane compartments, providing for the rapid uptake of both IGF-II and mannose 6-phosphate-linked lysosomal enzymes. Insulin action markedly increases the proportion of receptors in the plasma membrane and the uptake of bound ligands. We also observe that large amounts of the extracellular domain of the IGF-II/Man-6-P receptor are released into the serum of fetal, neonatal and adult rats. The biological role of this receptor in IGF-II function is yet to be determined.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) activity has been implicated in fundamental cellular functions such as endosomal trafficking, growth-factor receptor signal transduction, and cell survival. This multiplicity of actions can be attributed to the existence of three classes of PI 3-kinases in mammalian cells, which can together lead to the production of four known distinct end products: PtdIns(3)P, PtdIns(3,4)P2, PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 and PtdIns(3,5)P2. The challenge of deciphering the connection between PI 3-kinase activity, the production of specific phosphoinositides and the control of specific cellular events is being met with the discovery of novel structural motifs that interact specifically with distinct PI 3-kinase products.

Abstract
Early endosome autoantigen localization to early endosomes is mediated by a C-terminal region, which includes a calmodulin binding motif, a Rab5 interaction site, and a FYVE domain that selectively binds phosphatidyl inositol 3-phosphate. The crystal structure of the C-terminal region bound to inositol 1,3-bisphosphate reveals an organized, quaternary assembly consisting of a parallel coiled coil and a dyad-symmetric FYVE domain homodimer. Structural and biochemical observations support a multivalent mechanism for endosomal localization in which domain organization, dimerization, and quaternary structure amplify the weak affinity and modest specificity of head group interactions with conserved residues. A unique mode of membrane engagement deduced from the quaternary structure of the C-terminal region provides insight into the structural basis of endosome tethering.

Abstract
Phagosomal biogenesis is a fundamental biological process of particular significance for the function of phagocytic and antigen-presenting cells. The precise mechanisms governing maturation of phagosomes into phagolysosomes are not completely understood. Here, we applied the property of pathogenic mycobacteria to cause phagosome maturation arrest in infected macrophages as a tool to dissect critical steps in phagosomal biogenesis. We report the requirement for 3-phosphoinositides and acquisition of Rab5 effector early endosome autoantigen (EEA1) as essential molecular events necessary for phagosomal maturation. Unlike the model phagosomes containing latex beads, which transiently recruited EEA1, mycobacterial phagosomes excluded this regulator of vesicular trafficking that controls membrane tethering and fusion processes within the endosomal pathway and is recruited to endosomal membranes via binding to phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PtdIns[3]P). Inhibitors of phosphatidylinositol 3'(OH)-kinase (PI-3K) activity diminished EEA1 recruitment to newly formed latex bead phagosomes and blocked phagosomal acquisition of late endocytic properties, indicating that generation of PtdIns(3)P plays a role in phagosomal maturation. Microinjection into macrophages of antibodies against EEA1 and the PI-3K hVPS34 reduced acquisition of late endocytic markers by latex bead phagosomes, demonstrating an essential role of these Rab5 effectors in phagosomal biogenesis. The mechanism of EEA1 exclusion from mycobacterial phagosomes was investigated using mycobacterial products. Coating of latex beads with the major mycobacterial cell envelope glycosylated phosphatidylinositol lipoarabinomannan isolated from the virulent Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv, inhibited recruitment of EEA1 to latex bead phagosomes, and diminished their maturation. These findings define the generation of phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate and EEA1 recruitment as: (a) important regulatory events in phagosomal maturation and (b) critical molecular targets affected by M. tuberculosis. This study also identifies mycobacterial phosphoinositides as products with specialized toxic properties, interfering with discrete trafficking stages in phagosomal maturation.

Abstract
A novel imaging technology, high-speed microscopy, has been used to visualize the process of GLUT4 translocation in response to insulin in single 3T3-L1 adipocytes. A key advantage of this technology is that it requires extremely low light exposure times, allowing the quasi-continuous capture of information over 20-30 min without photobleaching or photodamage. The half-time for the accumulation of GLUT4-eGFP (enhanced green fluorescent protein) at the plasma membrane in a single cell was found to be of 5-7 min at 37 degrees C. This half-time is substantially longer than that of exocytic vesicle fusion in neuroendocrine cells, suggesting that additional regulatory mechanisms are involved in the stimulation of GLUT4 translocation by insulin. Analysis of four-dimensional images (3-D over time) revealed that, in response to insulin, GLUT4-eGFP-enriched vesicles rapidly travel from the juxtanuclear region to the plasma membrane. In nontransfected adipocytes, impairment of microtubule and actin filament function inhibited insulin-stimulated glucose transport by 70 and 50%, respectively. When both filament systems were impaired insulin-stimulated glucose transport was completely inhibited. Taken together, the data suggest that the regulation of long-range motility of GLUT4-containing vesicles through the interaction with microtubule- and actin-based cytoskeletal networks plays an important role in the overall effect of insulin on GLUT4 translocation.

Abstract
The plasma membranes of endothelial cells reaching confluence undergo profound structural and functional modifications, including the formation of adherens junctions, crucial for the regulation of vascular permeability and angiogenesis. Adherens junction formation is accompanied by the tyrosine dephosphorylation of adherens junctions proteins, which has been correlated with the strength and stability of adherens junctions. Here we show that cholesterol is a critical determinant of plasma membrane remodeling in cultures of growing cow pulmonary aortic endothelial cells. Membrane cholesterol increased dramatically at an early stage in the formation of confluent cow pulmonary aortic endothelial cell monolayers, prior to formation of intercellular junctions. This increase was accompanied by the redistribution of caveolin from a high density to a low density membrane compartment, previously shown to require cholesterol, and increased binding of the annexin II-p11 complex to membranes, consistent with other studies indicating cholesterol-dependent binding of annexin II to membranes. Furthermore, partial depletion of cholesterol from confluent cells with methyl-beta-cyclodextrin both induced tyrosine phosphorylation of multiple membrane proteins, including adherens junctions proteins, and disrupted adherens junctions. Both effects were dramatically reduced by prior complexing of methyl-beta-cyclodextrin with cholesterol. Our results reveal a novel physiological role for cholesterol regulating the formation of adherens junctions and other plasma membrane remodeling events as endothelial cells reach confluence.

Abstract
The FYVE domain is a protein motif that allows the interaction of cytosolic proteins with membranes containing the lipid phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate. Structural information about FYVE domains has come from two crystal structures and NMR analysis. Corvera discusses how these structures differ and what they tell us about how proteins with FYVE domains interact with biological membranes. The Perspective also addresses how proteins with FYVE domains and protein internalization are involved in signal transduction.

Abstract
Early endosome antigen 1 (EEA1) is 170-kDa polypeptide required for endosome fusion. EEA1 binds to both phosphtidylinositol 3-phosphate (PtdIns3P) and to Rab5-GTP in vitro, but the functional role of this dual interaction at the endosomal membrane is unclear. Here we have determined the structural features in EEA1 required for binding to these ligands. We have found that the FYVE domain is critical for both PtdIns3P and Rab5 binding. Whereas PtdIns3P binding only required the FYVE domain, Rab5 binding additionally required a 30-amino acid region directly adjacent to the FYVE domain. Microinjection of glutathione S-transferase fusion constructs into Cos cells revealed that the FYVE domain alone is insufficient for localization to cellular membranes; the upstream 30-amino acid region required for Rab5 binding must also be present for endosomal binding. The importance of Rab5 in membrane binding of EEA1 is underscored by the finding that the increased expression of wild-type Rab5 increases endosomal binding of EEA1 and decreases its dependence on PtdIns3P. Thus, the levels of Rab5 are rate-limiting for the recruitment of EEA1 to endosome membranes. PtdIns3P may play a role in modulating the Rab5 EEA1 interaction.

Abstract
The GRP1 protein contains a Sec7 homology domain that catalyzes guanine nucleotide exchange on ADP-ribosylation factors (ARF) 1 and 5 as well as a pleckstrin homology domain that binds phosphatidylinositol(3,4,5)P(3), an intermediate in cell signaling by insulin and other extracellular stimuli (Klarlund, J. K., Guilherme, A., Holik, J. J., Virbasius, J. V., Chawla, A., and Czech, M. P. (1997) Science 275, 1927-1930). Here we show that both endogenous GRP1 and ARF6 rapidly co-localize in plasma membrane ruffles in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO-T) cells expressing human insulin receptors and COS-1 cells in response to insulin and epidermal growth factor, respectively. The pleckstrin homology domain of GRP1 appears to be sufficient for regulated membrane localization. Using a novel method to estimate GTP loading of expressed HA epitope-tagged ARF proteins in intact cells, levels of biologically active, GTP-bound ARF6 as well as GTP-bound ARF1 were elevated when these ARF proteins were co-expressed with GRP1 or the related protein cytohesin-1. GTP loading of ARF6 in both control cells and in response to GRP1 or cytohesin-1 was insensitive to brefeldin A, consistent with previous data on endogenous ARF6 exchange activity. The ability of GRP1 to catalyze GTP/GDP exchange on ARF6 was confirmed using recombinant proteins in a cell-free system. Taken together, these results suggest that phosphatidylinositol(3,4,5)P(3) may be generated in cell membrane ruffles where receptor tyrosine kinases are concentrated in response to growth factors, causing recruitment of endogenous GRP1. Further, co-localization of GRP1 with ARF6, combined with its demonstrated ability to activate ARF6, suggests a physiological role for GRP1 in regulating ARF6 functions.

Abstract
Phosphoinositides serve as direct local modulators or recruiters of the protein machineries that control membrane trafficking. In the past year, examples of phosphoinositide effectors include regulators of small GTPases in coat assembly, dynamin in clathrin coated vesicle formation and FYVE finger proteins in endocytic membrane traffic. A novel phosphoinositide appears to regulate effectors involved in the formation of multivesicular endosomes.

Abstract
Phosphoinositide 3-kinases are a family of lipid kinases that phosphorylate the 3' position of the inositol ring on phosphatidylinositol and higher-phosphorylated polyphosphoinositides. The multiplicity of cellular functions influenced by the activity of these enzymes has captured the attention of researchers working on two important fields of cell biology--signal transduction and membrane traffic. This review discusses how the recent identification of proteins that interact directly with 3'-polyphosphoinositides has revealed novel potential interconnections between these fundamental cellular processes.

Abstract
Cellular levels of phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PtdIns(3,4,5)P3) are rapidly elevated in response to activation of growth factor receptor tyrosine kinases. This polyphosphoinositide binds the pleckstrin homology (PH) domain of GRP1, a protein that also contains 200 residues with high sequence similarity to a segment of the yeast Sec7 protein that functions as an ADP ribosylation exchange factor (ARF) (Klarlund, J., Guilherme, A., Holik, J. J., Virbasius, J. V., Chawla, A., and Czech, M. P. (1997) Science 275, 1927-1930). Here we show that dioctanoyl PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 binds the PH domain of GRP1 with a Kd = 0.5 microM, an affinity 2 orders of magnitude greater than dioctanoyl-PtdIns(4,5)P2. Further, the Sec7 domain of GRP1 is found to catalyze guanine nucleotide exchange of ARF1 and -5 but not ARF6. Importantly, PtdIns(3,4,5)P3, but not PtdIns(4,5)P2, markedly enhances the ARF exchange activity of GRP1 in a reaction mixture containing dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine micelles, 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonic acid, and a low concentration of sodium cholate. PtdIns(3,4,5)P3-mediated ARF nucleotide exchange through GRP1 is selectively blocked by 100 microM inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate, which also binds the PH domain of GRP1. Taken together, these data are consistent with the hypothesis that selective recruitment of GRP1 to PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 in membranes activates ARF1 and -5, known regulators of intracellular membrane trafficking.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinases (PI 3-kinases) have been implicated in membrane trafficking in the secretory and endocytic pathways of yeast and mammalian cells, but the molecular mechanisms by which these lipid kinases operate are not known. Here we identify a protein of 170 kDa that is rapidly released from cell membranes in response to wortmannin, a potent inhibitor of mammalian PI 3-kinases. The amino acid sequence of peptides from p170 reveal its identity to early endosomal antigen (EEA) 1, an endosomal antigen with homology to several yeast proteins genetically implicated in membrane trafficking. Immunofluorescence analysis of 3T3-L1 adipocytes with antisera against p170/EEA1 reveal a punctate peripheral pattern that becomes diffuse in response to wortmannin. In vitro, p170/EEA1 binds specifically to liposomes containing PIns(3)P, suggesting that the effect of wortmannin on cells is due to inhibition of PIns(3)P production. Thus, p170/EEA1 may define a family of proteins that mediate the regulatory effects of 3'-phosphoinositides on membrane trafficking in yeast and mammalian cells.

Abstract
The proto-oncogene c-Cbl was originally identified as a cellular homologue of the transforming protein expressed by the murine Cas NS-1 retrovirus. The full-length c-Cbl protein is a predominantly cytoplasmic protein, abundant in lymphoid cells, and potentially involved in signal transduction in several cell types. The specific signal transduction pathways in which c-Cbl participates, and its precise role in these pathways, are unclear. Previous studies from our laboratory have shown that c-Cbl is the predominant tyrosine-phosphorylated protein bound to the p85 subunit of phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase on T lymphocyte and B lymphocyte activation. To further understand the properties of c-Cbl and the significance of its interactions with PI 3-kinase, we have further studied the cellular biological and biochemical responses of c-Cbl to stimulation in lymphoid cells. We show that stimulation induces the association of a highly tyrosine-phosphorylated pool of c-Cbl with lymphocyte membranes and with a detergent-insoluble particulate fraction. Immunoprecipitation of c-Cbl from subcellular fractions reveals that p85 is predominantly associated with the c-Cbl pool recovered from the membrane fraction, despite the fact that this pool represents a small amount of total cellular c-Cbl. The formation of c-Cbl.PI 3-kinase complexes on lymphocyte membranes did not depend on the catalytic activity of PI 3-kinase since it was unaltered by the treatment of cells with wortmannin prior to stimulation. Interestingly, c-Cbl tyrosine phosphorylation and the formation of c-Cbl.PI 3-kinase complexes were also observed in a mutant Jurkat cell line, JCaM1.6, lacking p56(lck) expression. Because p56(lck) is critical for mitogenic signal transduction in response to T cell receptor activation, our results suggest that the activation of c-Cbl and the formation of c-Cbl.PI 3-kinase complexes occur upstream or independently of mitogenic signal transduction pathways in T cells.

Abstract
Previously we have shown that PDGF receptor mutants that do not bind PI-3 kinase internalize after ligand binding, but fail to downregulate and degrade. To define further the role of PI-3 kinase in trafficking processes in mammalian cells, we have investigated the effects of a potent inhibitor of PI-3 kinase activity, wortmannin. At nanomolar concentrations, wortmannin inhibited both the transfer of PDGF receptors from peripheral compartments to juxtanuclear vesicles, and their subsequent degradation. In contrast, the delivery of soluble phase markers to lysosomes, assessed by the accumulation of Lucifer yellow (LY) in perinuclear vesicles after 120 min of incubation, was not blocked by wortmannin. Furthermore, wortmannin did not affect the rate of transferrin uptake, and caused only a small decrease in its rate of recycling. Thus, the effects of wortmannin on PDGFr trafficking are much more pronounced than its effects on other endocytic events. Unexpectedly, wortmannin also caused a striking effect on the morphology of endosomal compartments, marked by tubulation and enlargement of endosomes containing transferrin or LY. This effect was somewhat similar to that produced by brefeldin A, and was also blocked by pre-treatment of cells with aluminum fluoride (AlF4-). These results suggest two sites in the endocytic pathway where PI-3 kinase activity may be required: (a) to sort PDGF receptors from peripheral compartments to the lysosomal degradative pathway; and (b) to regulate the structure of endosomes containing lysosomally directed and recycling molecules. This latter function could be mediated through the activation of AlFt4-)-sensitive GTP-binding proteins downstream of PI-3 kinase.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI-3 kinase) has been implicated in cellular events such as mitogenic signaling, actin organization, and receptor sorting. The p85 subunit of PI-3 kinase contains multiple domains capable of protein-protein interactions that may contribute to mediate the multiple physiological functions of this enzyme. Here, we demonstrate that antibodies raised against the p85 subunit of PI-3 kinase immunoprecipitate a single tyrosine-phosphorylated protein of 120 kDa (pp120) from lysates of activated Jurkat T cells and A20 B cells. This protein is the only significant phosphotyrosine-containing protein in p85 immunoprecipitates from these cells, and it cannot be detected in immunoprecipitates of other signaling proteins such as PLC gamma. Furthermore, antibodies specific for the beta isoform of p85 but not antibodies specific for the alpha isoform immunoprecipitate this tyrosine-phosphorylated protein. pp120 completely comigrates with the proto-oncogene c-cbl, which is a 120 kDa protein product abundant in lymphoid cells. Furthermore, immunoblots of p85 immunoprecipitates using antibodies raised against c-cbl detect a band at exactly the position of pp120. In addition, p85 can be detected in immunoblots of c-cbl immunoprecipitates. Thus, pp120 appears to correspond to c-cbl. A direct association between c-cbl and p85 can be observed in vitro using a fusion protein comprising the Src homology 2 (SH2) domains of p85, and this binding is abolished by phenyl phosphate, suggesting that the interaction is mediated through phosphotyrosine-SH2 domain interactions. Thus, these results show important functional differences between the alpha and beta isoforms of p85 in vivo and point to c-cbl as a potentially important mediator of some of the functions of PI-3 kinase in intact cells.

We have previously reported that platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) receptor mutants that lack high affinity binding sites for phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) fail to concentrate in juxtanuclear vesicular structures after activation with PDGF. We have now identified the point in the endocytic pathway at which PI 3-kinase binding sites are required. Receptor internalization from the plasma membrane, measured as the acquisition of acid resistance of prebound 125I-PDGF, was only slightly decreased in cells expressing a PDGF receptor mutant (F5) lacking PI 3-kinase, GTPase-activating protein (GAP), phospholipase C gamma, and Syp binding sites but not expressing mutants where any of these individual sites were restored nor expressing a mutant lacking exclusively PI 3-kinase binding sites. In contrast, the extent of down-regulation of PDGF binding sites from the cell surface after prolonged incubation with PDGF as well as the degradation of [35S]methionine-labeled receptor were markedly reduced in cells expressing the F5 mutant, mutants restored in GAP, phospholipase C gamma, or Syp binding sites or expressing the mutant exclusively lacking PI 3-kinase binding sites but not in cells expressing the mutant where PI 3-kinase binding sites were restored. Inhibition of PI 3-kinase activity with wortmannin caused a dramatic decrease in the rates of down-regulation and degradation of wild-type receptors. These results suggest that PI 3-kinase binding sites are not required for internalization of PDGF receptor but are required to divert the PDGF receptor to a degradative pathway. Furthermore, the requirement for PI 3-kinase binding sites on the receptor appears to be due to a requirement for PI 3-kinase catalytic activity.

Abstract
The unique COOH-terminal 30-amino acid region of the adipocyte/skeletal muscle glucose transporter (GLUT4) appears to be a major structural determinant of this protein's perinuclear localization, from where it is redistributed to the cell surface in response to insulin. To test whether an underlying mechanism of this domain's function involves glucose transporter endocytosis rates, transfected cells were generated expressing exofacial hemagglutinin epitope (HA)-tagged erythrocyte/brain glucose transporter (GLUT1) or a chimera containing the COOH-terminal 30 amino acids of GLUT4 substituted onto this GLUT1 construct. Incubation of COS-7 or CHO cells expressing the HA-tagged chimera with anti-HA antibody at 37 degrees resulted in an increased rate of antibody internalization compared to cells expressing similar levels of HA-tagged GLUT1, which displays a cell surface disposition. Colocalization of the internalized anti-HA antibody in vesicular structures with internalized transferrin and with total transporters was established by digital imaging microscopy, suggesting the total cellular pool of transporters are continuously recycling through the coated pit endocytosis pathway. Mutation of the unique double leucines 489 and 490 in the rat GLUT4 COOH-terminal domain to alanines caused the HA-tagged chimera to revert to the slow endocytosis rate and steady-state cell surface display characteristic of GLUT1. These results support the hypothesis that the double leucine motif in the GLUT4 COOH terminus operates as a rapid endocytosis and retention signal in the GLUT4 transporter, causing its localization to intracellular compartments in the absence of insulin.

Abstract
The interaction of the adipocyte/skeletal muscle glucose transporter (GLUT-4) with clathrin lattices may be important in maintaining its intracellular distribution. To better understand the role of clathrin lattices in the sorting of GLUT-4, we have attempted to determine the cellular origin of clathrin-coated vesicles (CCVs) that contain this transporter. The fungal toxin brefeldin A (BFA) causes the selective disassembly of clathrin lattices at the trans-Golgi network (TGN), but not at the plasma membrane (PM), thus providing a way of estimating the proportion of GLUT-4 in PM- versus TGN-derived clathrin lattices. Exposure of 3T3-L1 adipocytes to BFA resulted in a rapid disassembly of clathrin lattices at the TGN, observed by optical sectioning microscopy, and to a pronounced decrease in the yield of CCVs purified from these cells. Thus, CCVs isolated from BFA-treated cells are likely to be derived from the PM. Immunoblotting experiments revealed the presence of GLUT-4 in such CCVs, suggesting that under basal conditions the transporter is continually retrieved from the PM through the CCV pathway. Exposure of both BFA-treated or non-treated cells to insulin resulted in a 4-6-fold increase in the concentration of GLUT-4 at the PM. In parallel, the concentration of GLUT-4 in PM-derived CCVs decreased by 60%. These results suggest (a) that the effect of insulin to increase the cell surface concentration of GLUT-4 is not inhibited by BFA, and (b) that a decreased association of GLUT-4 with endocytic CCVs may be important in facilitating its increased cell surface concentration in response to the hormone.

Abstract
Human platelet-derived growth factor receptors (PDGFRs) expressed in human Hep G2 cells internalized and concentrated in a juxtanuclear region near the Golgi network within 10 minutes after the cells were treated with PDGF. A PDGFR mutant (F5) that lacks high-affinity binding sites for the Src homology 2 domain-containing proteins phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI-3 kinase), Ras guanosine triphosphatase activating protein, phospholipase C-gamma, and a phosphotyrosine phosphatase (Syp) remained at the cell periphery. Restoration of the PI-3 kinase binding sites on F5 completely restored the ability of the receptor to concentrate intracellularly. A PDGFR mutant lacking only PI-3 kinase binding sites failed to concentrate intracellularly. Thus, PI-3 kinase binding sites appear both necessary and sufficient for the normal endocytic trafficking of the activated PDGFR.

Abstract
Mechanisms for intracellular retention of proteins are induced during adipocytic differentiation of 3T3-L1 cells. To investigate the potential role of clathrin lattices in these retention processes, we performed a morphological and biochemical analysis of coated vesicle components in 3T3-L1 cells. Optical sectioning and image restoration revealed a marked increase in the staining of clathrin and beta adaptins in the perinuclear region of cells with differentiation. In addition, predominance of beta (subunit of the AP-2, plasma membrane adaptor) over beta' (subunit of the AP-1, Golgi adaptor) adaptin was observed in immunoblots of clathrin-coated vesicles purified from nondifferentiated fibroblasts, and this ratio was reversed in coated vesicles purified from differentiated adipocytes. These results indicate that the relative abundance of TGN-derived clathrin lattices increases markedly during adipocytic differentiation. Subcellular fractionation indicated that cytosolic AP-1 and AP-2 adaptors comprised approximately 70% of the total cellular adaptor pool. Interestingly, neither the concentration nor the relative ratio of cytosolic AP-1 to AP-2 adaptors increased significantly during differentiation. These data suggest that the increase in TGN-derived lattices results from differentiation-induced mechanisms for enhanced assembly or stabilization of adaptors on Golgi membranes. Interestingly, double-immunofluorescence microscopy also revealed that whereas extensive colocalization between clathrin and beta adaptins occurred both in fibroblasts and adipocytes, structures stained only with anti-adaptin antibody could be detected. Taken together these results suggest that membranes coated with adaptors, but not clathrin, can exist in these cells.

Abstract
The insulin-regulated adipocyte/skeletal muscle glucose transporter (GLUT4) displays a characteristic steady-state intracellular localization under basal conditions, whereas the erythrocyte/brain transporter isoform (GLUT1) distributes mostly to the cell surface. To identify possible structural elements in these transporter proteins that determine their cellular localization, GLUT1/GLUT4 chimera cDNA constructs that contain the hemagglutinin epitope YPYDVPDYA (HA) in their major exofacial loops were engineered. Binding of monoclonal anti-HA antibody to non-permeabilized COS-7 cells expressing HA-tagged transporter chimeras revealed that expression of transporters on the cell surface was strongly influenced by their cytoplasmic COOH-terminal domain. This method also revealed a less marked, but significant effect on cellular localization of amino acid residues between transporter exofacial and middle loops. The subcellular distribution of expressed chimeras was confirmed by immunofluorescence microscopy of permeabilized COS-7 cells. Thus, HA-tagged native GLUT4 was concentrated in the perinuclear region, whereas a chimera containing the COOH-terminal 29 residues of GLUT1 substituted onto GLUT4 distributed to the plasma membrane, as did native GLUT1. Furthermore, a chimera composed of GLUT1 with a GLUT4 COOH-terminal 30-residue substitution exhibited a predominantly intracellular localization. Similar data was obtained in CHO cells stably expressing these chimeras. Taken together, these results define the unique COOH-terminal cytoplasmic sequences of the GLUT1 and GLUT4 glucose transporters as important determinants of cellular localization in COS-7 and CHO cells.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol (PI)-3' kinase catalyzes the formation of PI 3,4-diphosphate and PI 3,4,5-triphosphate in response to stimulation of cells by platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF). Here we report that tyrosine-phosphorylated PDGF receptors, the p85 subunit of PI-3' kinase (p85), and activated PI-3' kinase are found in isolated clathrin-coated vesicles within 2 min of exposure of cells to PDGF, indicating that both receptor and activated PI-3' kinase enter the endocytic pathway. Immunofluorescence analysis of p85 in serum-starved cells revealed a punctate/reticular staining pattern, concentrated in the perinuclear region and displaying high focal concentration at the centrosome. In addition, partial coalignment of p85 with microtubules was observed after optical sectioning microscopy and image reconstruction. The association of p85 with the microtubule network was further evidenced by the microtubule-depolymerizing drug nocodazole, which caused a redistribution of p85 from the perinuclear region to the cell periphery. Interestingly, the most significant effect of PDGF on the distribution of p85 was an increase in the staining intensity of this protein in the perinuclear region, and this effect was eliminated by prior treatment of cells with nocodazole. These results suggest that PDGF receptor-p85 complexes internalize and transit in association with the microtubule cytoskeleton. In addition, the high concentration of p85 in intracellular structures in the absence of PDGF stimulation suggests additional roles for this protein independent of its association with receptor tyrosine kinases.

Abstract
Insulin is thought to exert its effects on cellular function through the phosphorylation or dephosphorylation of specific regulatory substrates. We have analyzed the effects of okadaic acid, a potent inhibitor of type 1 and 2A protein phosphatases, on the ability of insulin to stimulate glucose transport in rat adipocytes. Insulin and okadaic acid caused a 20-25- and a 3-6-fold increase, respectively, in the rate of 2-deoxyglucose accumulation by adipose cells. When added to cells previously treated with okadaic acid, insulin failed to stimulate 2-deoxyglucose accumulation beyond the levels observed with okadaic acid alone. Treatment of cells with okadaic acid did not inhibit the effect of insulin to stimulate tyrosine autophosphorylation of its receptor. These results indicate that okadaic acid potently inhibits the effects of insulin to stimulate glucose uptake and/or utilization at a step after receptor activation. To clarify the mechanism of inhibition by okadaic acid, the intrinsic activity of the plasma membrane glucose transporters was analyzed by measuring the rate of uptake of 3-O-methylglucose by adipose cells, and the concentration of adipocyte/skeletal muscle isoform of the glucose transporter (GLUT-4) in plasma membranes isolated from these cells. Insulin caused a 15-20-fold stimulation of 3-O-methylglucose uptake and a 2-3-fold increase in the levels of GLUT-4 detected by immunoblotting of isolated plasma membranes; okadaic acid caused a 2-fold increase in 3-O-methylglucose uptake, and a 1.5-fold increase in plasma membrane GLUT-4. Pretreatment of cells with okadaic acid blocked the effect of insulin to stimulate 3-O-methylglucose uptake and to increase the plasma membrane concentration of GLUT-4 beyond the levels observed with okadaic acid alone. These results indicate that the effect of okadaic acid to inhibit the effect of insulin on glucose uptake is exerted at a step prior to the recruitment of glucose transporters to the cell surface, and suggest that a phosphatase activity may be critical for this process.

Abstract
The effect of insulin to increase the cell surface concentration of various receptors is accompanied by an increase in the concentration of clathrin assembled on the plasma membrane (Corvera, S. (1990) J. Biol. Chem. 265, 2413-2416). In the present study, clathrin-coated membranes were purified from isolated adipocytes labeled isotopically with [32P]orthophosphate. Analysis of the coated vesicle preparation by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and autoradiography revealed the presence of a cluster of phosphopeptides of 90-100 kDa as well as other phosphorylated species of 125, 70, 58, 50, 43, and 32 kDa. Incubation of the coated vesicles in alkaline pH resulted in the elution of the majority of the phosphopeptides, suggesting that these components are part of the clathrin coat and not integral membrane proteins. A pronounced increase in the amount of phosphate incorporated into the 125-kDa species was observed in response to stimulation of labeled cells by low concentrations of insulin. Phosphoamino acid analysis of an acid hydrolysate of this band revealed that its phosphorylation occurred exclusively on serine residues. The increased serine phosphorylation of this protein was apparent after only 2 min of exposure of cells to insulin and persisted for at least 60 min. The effect of insulin to increase the cell surface concentration of receptors and the assembly of clathrin on the plasma membrane displays a similar time course. Phorbol esters or dibutyryl cyclic AMP did not mimic the effects of insulin to stimulate the incorporation of [32P]phosphate into the 125-kDa polypeptide. Phosphorylation of the 125-kDa polypeptide was not observed after incubation of purified adipocyte-coated vesicles with [gamma-32P]ATP, suggesting that the kinase responsible for this reaction may not be contained within the clathrin-coated vesicle itself. These results suggest that phosphorylation of this 125-kDa polypeptide in intact cells may play a role in the regulation of clathrin-coated membrane formation and receptor-mediated endocytosis in response to insulin.

Abstract
The effects of insulin on the subcellular distribution of the heavy chain of clathrin and on the insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II) mannose 6-phosphate receptor were investigated in isolated rat adipocytes. Plasma membranes, intracellular membranes, and cytosol were separated by differential centrifugation, and the concentration of clathrin and receptor in each fraction was quantified by sequential immunoblotting with monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies against these proteins. A 3-fold increase in the amount of clathrin heavy chain associated with isolated plasma membranes was found after treatment of cells with low concentrations of insulin. This effect was complete within 2 min of stimulation at 37 degrees C and was abolished at 5-10 degrees C. The insulin-mediated increase in the cell surface concentration of receptors for IGF-II/mannose 6-phosphate displayed a similar time course and temperature dependence. A concomitant decrease in the concentration of IGF-II/mannose 6-phosphate receptors in intracellular membranes was observed. In contrast, no significant changes in the concentration of clathrin in this fraction could be detected. Instead, a marked decrease in the level of unassembled cytosolic clathrin was observed in insulin-treated cells compared with controls. These results suggest that insulin induces an increase in the assembly of cytosolic clathrin onto the plasma membrane in conjunction with its ability to increase the concentration of receptors on the cell surface.

Abstract
The unassembled (soluble) and assembled (particulate) pools of clathrin in murine lymphocytes have been separated by centrifugation, and specifically quantified by immunoblotting of cellular extracts with an anticlathrin heavy chain monoclonal antibody. In resting spleen lymphocytes only 25-30% of the total cellular clathrin was found to be present in an assembled form. Upon activation of lymphocytes with B or T cell mitogens (lipopolysaccharide or concanavalin A), the levels of assembled clathrin increased to 60% of the total. These changes in the levels of assembled clathrin were not due to an increase in total cellular clathrin concentration following lymphocyte activation, but rather to changes in the steady state ratio of assembled to unassembled clathrin. The increase in assembled clathrin preceded the expression of transferrin receptors, as measured by the cell surface binding of an antitransferrin receptor monoclonal antibody, and maximal DNA synthesis, indicating that clathrin assembly occurs early after lymphocyte activation and precedes cell division. Immunofluorescence analysis of activated lymphocytes with an anti-clathrin heavy chain monoclonal antibody revealed a punctuate staining pattern characteristic of coated pits and vesicles. Activated B lymphocytes displayed particularly prominent staining in the perinuclear region compared to T cells, suggesting that clathrin assembly may be important for B cell functions such as immunoglobulin synthesis or secretion. These results suggest that in lymphocytes, clathrin assembly is a dynamic process that is triggered by mitogenic stimuli.

Abstract
The present study shows that insulin causes an increase in the binding of alpha 2-macroglobulin (alpha 2M) to 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Scatchard analysis of the binding at 4 degrees C indicated an approximate 2-fold increase in the number of alpha 2M binding sites, with no change in the apparent affinity of the receptor. In addition, a 2-3-fold increase in the binding of monoclonal antibody 2C6, which recognizes a component of the alpha 2M receptor, was found in cells treated at 37 degrees C with insulin and then KCN to inhibit receptor endocytosis. An increased cellular accumulation of alpha 2M was also observed in response to insulin. Interestingly, the increase in the rate of accumulation of alpha 2M was significantly smaller than the increase in the number of alpha 2M receptors on the cell surface, suggesting that the rate of ligand internalization or subsequent processing is altered in response to insulin. Ultrastructural analysis of the internalization pathway of the alpha 2M receptor was performed using colloidal gold-coupled 2C6 monoclonal antibody. Control cells incubated for 20 min at 37 degrees C with the gold-conjugated antibody displayed 40% of cellular gold particles on the cell surface and 60% within intracellular structures. In insulin-treated cells this proportion was reversed, with 64% of the particles being found on the cell surface, and only 36% within intracellular structures. Significant differences in the distribution of gold particles among intracellular structures were detected between control and insulin-treated cells. Whereas in control cells, 18% of the total cellular gold particles internalized into tubulovesicles and multivesicular bodies, in insulin-treated cells only 3% of the gold particles were found within these structures. These data indicate that the movement of this receptor between endocytic compartments is altered in response to insulin, and suggest that the effect of insulin to increase the cell surface concentration of alpha 2M receptors and the accumulation of alpha 2M is due, at least in part, to alterations in the endocytic portion of the receptor recycling pathway.

Abstract
Insulin caused a rapid, dose-dependent increase in the binding of 125I-insulin-like growth factor-II (IGF-II) to the surface of cultured H-35 hepatoma cells. The [32P]phosphate content of the IGF-II receptors, immunoprecipitated from extracts of H-35 cell monolayers previously incubated with [32P]phosphate for 24 h, was decreased after brief exposure of the cells to insulin. Analysis of tryptic digests of labeled IGF-II receptors by bidimensional peptide mapping revealed that the decrease in the content of [32P]phosphate occurred to varying degrees on three tryptic phosphopeptides. Thin layer electrophoresis of an acid hydrolysate of isolated IGF-II receptors revealed the presence of [32P] phosphoserine and [32P]phosphothreonine. Insulin treatment of cells caused a decrease in the labeled phosphoserine and phosphothreonine content of IGF-II receptors. The ability of a number of highly purified protein kinases (cAMP-dependent protein kinase, protein kinase C, phosphorylase kinase, and casein kinase II) to catalyze the phosphorylation of purified IGF-II receptors was examined. Casein kinase II was the only kinase capable of catalyzing the phosphorylation of the IGF-II receptor on serine and threonine residues under the conditions of our assay. Bidimensional peptide mapping revealed that the kinase catalyzed phosphorylation of the IGF-II receptor on a tryptic phosphopeptide which comigrated with the main tryptic phosphopeptide found in receptors obtained from cells labeled in vivo with [32P]phosphate. IGF-II receptors isolated by immunoadsorption from insulin-treated H-35 cells were phosphorylated in vitro by casein kinase II to a greater extent than the receptors isolated from control cells. Similarly, IGF-II receptors from plasma membranes obtained from insulin-treated adipocytes were phosphorylated by casein kinase II to a greater extent than the receptors from control adipocyte plasma membranes. Thus, the insulin-regulated phosphorylation sites on the IGF-II receptor appear to serve as substrates in vivo for casein kinase II or an enzyme with similar substrate specificity.

Abstract
Insulin stimulates the accumulation of iron by isolated fat cells by increasing the uptake of diferric transferrin. Analysis of the cell-surface binding of diferric 125I-transferrin indicated that insulin caused a 3-fold increase in the cell surface number of transferrin receptors. This result was confirmed by the demonstration that insulin increases the binding of an anti-rat transferrin receptor monoclonal antibody (OX-26) to the surface of fat cells. The basis of this effect of insulin was examined by investigating the number of transferrin receptors in membrane fractions isolated from disrupted fat cells. Two methods were employed. First the binding isotherm of diferric 125I-transferrin to the isolated membranes was studied. Second, the membranes were solubilized with detergent, and the number of transferrin receptors was measured by immunoblotting using the monoclonal antibody OX-26. It was observed that insulin treatment of intact fat cells resulted in an increase in the number of transferrin receptors located in the isolated plasma membrane fraction of the disrupted fat cells. Furthermore, the increase in the number of plasma membrane transferrin receptors was associated with a concomitant decrease in the transferrin receptor number in a low density microsome fraction previously shown to consist of intracellular membranes. This redistribution of transferrin receptors between cellular membrane fractions in response to insulin is remarkably similar to the regulation by insulin of glucose transporters and type II insulin-like growth factor receptors. We conclude that insulin stimulates fat cell iron uptake by a mechanism that may involve the redistribution of transferrin receptors from an internal membrane compartment (low density microsomes) to the cell surface (plasma membrane).

Abstract
Incorporation of 32P from [gamma-32P]ATP into tyrosine residues of the insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-II receptor was observed in a Triton X-100-insoluble fraction of rat adipocyte plasma membranes. IGF-II receptor phosphorylation proceeded to a stoichiometry of approximately 0.5 mol of phosphate/IGF-II binding site after 10 min of incubation at 4 degrees C. A Km for ATP of 6 microM was calculated for this phosphorylation reaction. Addition of IGF-II caused an approximately 2-fold increase in tyrosine phosphorylation of the IGF-II receptor in this preparation. In contrast, phosphorylation of angiotensin II by the Triton X-100 washed membranes was not stimulated by IGF-II. Incubation of purified receptor immobilized on IGF-II agarose or of receptor-enriched low density microsomal membranes with [gamma-32P]ATP did not result in appreciable incorporation of [32P]phosphate into the IGF-II receptor nor into exogenous substrates. These data suggest that the IGF-II receptor is not a tyrosine protein kinase capable of autophosphorylation but that it is a substrate for a tyrosine protein kinase endogenous to the adipocyte plasma membrane. The stimulatory effect of IGF-II on the tyrosine phosphorylation of its receptor may be due to a conformational change which converts the receptor to a better substrate for this tyrosine kinase.

Abstract
4 beta-Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) modified the metabolic actions of three calcium-dependent hormones in different ways. The stimulations of glycogenolysis ureogenesis and phosphatidylinositol labeling produced by alpha 1-adrenergic agonist was blocked by the phorbol ester. In contrast, PMA slightly increased the stimulation of ureogenesis produced by low concentration of angiotensin II without modifying the maximal response. No effect of PMA was observed on the stimulation of ureogenesis induced by vasopressin. The stimulation of phosphatidylinositol labeling induced by vasopressin was decreased by PMA, whereas that induced by angiotensin II was not affected. In intact freshly isolated hepatocytes, [3H]prazosin binds with high affinity to a site which displays the characteristics of alpha 1-adrenergic receptor. Competitive inhibition studies with (-)-epinephrine reveal two different sites for this agonist: a high affinity site (Kd 9 nM) and a low affinity site (Kd 2 microM). In the presence of phorbol esters, (-)-epinephrine binding data now show the presence of a single class of low affinity sites, with similar affinity to those present in control cells. Thus, the inhibition of hepatocyte alpha 1-adrenergic action by PMA may be related to the loss of high affinity binding sites caused by the tumor promoter.

Abstract
Insulin action in adipocytes leads to an increase in the steady-state number of cell surface glucose transporters and insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II) receptors that appear to cycle continuously between the plasma membrane and a low-density membrane fraction. The IGF-II receptor could be labeled to constant specific activity by incubating adipocytes with [32P]phosphate for 2 hr. The extent of phosphorylation of IGF-II receptors in plasma membranes and in low-density microsomes was compared using 125I-labeled IGF-II binding and immunoblotting to quantitate the receptors present in each fraction. Receptors in the plasma membrane fraction of control cells incorporated approximately 1 molecule of phosphate per IGF-II binding site or 2 to 3 times more phosphate than was incorporated into IGF-II receptors in the low-density microsomes. Addition of insulin to labeled adipocytes did not change the specific activity of the gamma-phosphate of ATP but produced a specific and sharp decrease in the 32P-phosphate content of IGF-II receptors in the plasma membrane. No change due to insulin in the phosphorylation of receptors derived from low-density microsomes was observed. The insulin-mediated decrease in the [32P]phosphate content of IGF-II receptors from the plasma membrane was rapid in onset, paralleled the increase in the number of IGF-II receptors on the cell surface, and persisted for at least 30 min in the presence of insulin. Furthermore, when the effect of insulin to increase the number of IGF-II receptors in the cell surface was prevented by cooling cells to 5 degrees C, the decrease in phosphorylation of plasma membrane receptors could still be observed, indicating that this latter effect is not secondary to receptor redistribution. These data indicate that insulin inhibits one or more IGF-II receptor kinases or increases phosphatase activity, or both. Decreased phosphorylation of such insulin-sensitive plasma membrane components as IGF-II receptors may play a role in increasing their steady-state cell surface concentration, perhaps by delaying their internalization.

Abstract
Epinephrine, norepinephrine and phenylephrine stimulate phosphatidylinositol labeling with [32P]Pi in both rat hepatocytes and rabbit aorta. Methoxamine was a full agonist for this effect in rabbit aorta whereas cirazoline and oxymetazoline were partial agonists. In contrast, these three agents (methoxamine, cirazoline and oxymetazoline) were unable to stimulate phosphatidylinositol labeling in rat hepatocytes. Furthermore, cirazoline and oxymetazoline were able to displace the dose-response curve to epinephrine in rat hepatocytes, i.e., they behaved as antagonists. Binding competition curves of these agents with labeled adrenergic ligands indicate that the affinity of alpha 1-adrenergic receptors in these two tissues (aorta and liver) for the different agents tested was very similar. In addition it was observed that phorbol myristate-acetate inhibited in a dose-dependent fashion the epinephrine-mediated stimulation of phosphatidylinositol labeling in hepatocytes but was without effect on the action of the amine in aorta. Our data suggest that stereochemical differences for alpha 1-adrenergic activation in liver and aorta may exist and indicate that the ability of phorbol esters to inhibit alpha 1-adrenergic effects is not universal.
