Abstract

Exercise is known to increase insulin sensitivity and is an effective form of treatment for the hyperglycemia observed in type 2 diabetes. Activation of 5'-AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) by 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide riboside (AICAR), exercise, or electrically stimulated contraction leads to increased glucose transport in skeletal muscle. Here we report the first evidence of a direct interaction between AMPK and the most upstream component of the insulin-signaling cascade, insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1). We find that AMPK rapidly phosphorylates IRS-1 on Ser-789 in cell-free assays as well as in mouse C2C12 myotubes incubated with AICAR. In the C2C12 myotubes activation of AMPK by AICAR matched the phosphorylation of IRS-1 on Ser-789. This phosphorylation correlates with a 65% increase in insulin-stimulated IRS-1-associated phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activity in C2C12 myotubes preincubated with AICAR. The binding of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase to IRS-1 was not affected by AICAR. These results demonstrate the existence of an interaction between AMPK and early insulin signaling that could be of importance to our understanding of the potentiating effects of exercise on insulin signaling.

  • AMPK rapidly phosphorylates IRS1 on S789 in vitro and treatment with AICAR increases IRS1 S789 phosphorylation in mouse C2C12 myotubes.

    “It has been reported that AMPK rapidly phosphorylates IRS1 on S789 in vitro and treatment with AICAR increases IRS1 S789 phosphorylation in mouse C2C12 myotubes, suggesting a possible link between the potentiating effects of exercise on insulin signaling [145].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
