Abstract: | Wojtaszewski, Jørgen F. P., Bo F. Hansen, BirgitteUrsø, and Erik A. Richter. Wortmannin inhibits both insulin-and contraction-stimulated glucose uptake and transport in rat skeletal muscle. J. Appl. Physiol. 81(4):1501-1509, 1996. The role of phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinasefor insulin- and contraction-stimulated muscle glucose transport wasinvestigated in rat skeletal muscle perfused with a cell-freeperfusate. The insulin receptor substrate-1-associated PI 3-kinaseactivity was increased sixfold upon insulin stimulation but wasunaffected by contractions. In addition, the insulin-stimulated PI3-kinase activity and muscle glucose uptake and transport in individualmuscles were dose-dependently inhibited by wortmannin with one-halfmaximal inhibition values of ~10 nM and total inhibition at 1 µM.This concentration of wortmannin also decreased thecontraction-stimulated glucose transport and uptake by ~30-70%without confounding effects on contractility or on muscle ATP andphosphocreatine concentrations. At higher concentrations(3 and 10 µM), wortmannin completely blocked thecontraction-stimulated glucose uptake but also decreased thecontractility. In conclusion, inhibition of PI 3-kinase with wortmanninin skeletal muscle coincides with inhibition of insulin-stimulated glucose uptake and transport. Furthermore, in contrast to recent findings in incubated muscle, wortmannin also inhibitedcontraction-stimulated glucose uptake and transport. The inhibitoryeffect of wortmannin on contraction-stimulated glucose uptake may beindependent of PI 3-kinase activity or due to inhibition of asubfraction of PI 3-kinase with low sensitivity to wortmannin. |
