Abstract

In adipose tissue, insulin controls glucose and lipid metabolism through the intracellular mediators phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and serine-threonine kinase AKT. Phosphatase and a tensin homolog deleted from chromosome 10 (PTEN), a negative regulator of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/AKT pathway, is hypothesized to inhibit the metabolic effects of insulin. Here we report the generation of mice lacking PTEN in adipose tissue. Loss of Pten results in improved systemic glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity, associated with decreased fasting insulin levels, increased recruitment of the glucose transporter isoform 4 to the cell surface in adipose tissue, and decreased serum resistin levels. Mutant animals also exhibit increased insulin signaling and AMP kinase activity in the liver. Pten mutant mice are resistant to developing streptozotocin-induced diabetes. Adipose-specific Pten deletion, however, does not alter adiposity or plasma fatty acids. Our results demonstrate that in vivo PTEN is a potent negative regulator of insulin signaling and insulin sensitivity in adipose tissue. Furthermore, PTEN may be a promising target for nutritional and/or pharmacological interventions aimed at reversing insulin resistance.

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.
