Abstract

Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) has been implicated in the regulation of numerous cellular processes, including the insulin-induced regulation of glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK-3) and glucose transport. The hormonal-induced inactivation of GSK-3 is mediated by protein kinase B (PKB), a downstream target of PI 3-kinase, whose involvement in other insulin-stimulated responses remains poorly defined at present. In this study, we investigated whether the uptake of glucose, system A amino acid transport, and cellular protein synthesis are regulated by PKBalpha in L6 skeletal muscle cells. L6 cells stably overexpressing wild-type PKBalpha (wtPKBalpha) or a constitutively active membrane-targeted PKBalpha (mPKBalpha) showed a 3- and 15-fold increase in PKB activity, respectively. Both wtPKBalpha and mPKBalpha expression led to a significant increase in the basal uptake of glucose and methyl-aminoisobutyric acid (a substrate for the system A amino acid transporter), at least to a level seen in control cells treated with insulin. The stimulation in glucose transport was facilitated, in part, by the increased translocation of GLUT4 to the plasma membrane and also through an increase in the cellular synthesis of GLUT3. In the absence of insulin, only muscle cells expressing the constitutively active PKBalpha showed a significant increase in protein synthesis and an inhibition in GSK-3. Our results indicate that constitutive activation of PKBalpha in skeletal muscle stimulates the uptake of glucose, system A amino acids, and protein synthesis and promotes the inactivation of GSK-3. These observations imply that PKBalpha may have a role in the insulin-regulated control of these processes in skeletal muscle.

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.
