We examined the possibility of culturing muscle cells of gilthead sea bream in vitro and assessed variations in insulin-like
growth factor-I (IGF-I) binding during myocyte development. The viability of the cell culture was determined by fluorescence-activated
cell-sorting analysis, which showed that the percentage of dead cells decreased with cell differentiation. The intracellular
reduction of MTT into formazan pigment was preferentially carried out as cells differentiated (from day 4) indicating an increase
in metabolic activity. IGF-I-binding assays demonstrated that the number of receptors increased from 190 ± 0.09 fmol/mg
protein in myocytes at day 5 to 360 ± 0.09 fmol/mg protein in myotubes at day12. The affinity of IGF-I receptors did not change
significantly during cell development (from 0.89 ± 0.09 to 0.98 ± 0.09 nM). The activation of various kinase (ERK 1/2 MAPK
and Akt/PKB) proteins by IGFs and insulin was studied by means of Western blot analysis. Levels of MAPK-P increased after
IGF and insulin treatment during the first stages of cell culture, with a low response being observed at day 15, whereas IGFs
displayed a stimulatory effect on Akt-P throughout the cell culture period, even on day 15. This study thus shows that (1)
gilthead sea bream myocytes can be cultured, (2) they express functional IGF-I receptors that increase in number as they differentiate
in vitro; (3) IGF signalling transduction through IGF-I receptors stimulates the MAPK and Akt pathways, depending on the development
stage of the muscle cell culture.

The insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) is a key regulator of skeletal muscle growth in vertebrates, promoting mitogenic and anabolic effects through the activation of the MAPK/ERK and the PI3K/Akt signaling pathways. Nutrition also affects skeletal muscle growth, activating intracellular pathways and inducing protein synthesis and accretion. Thus, both hormonal and nutritional signaling regulate muscle mass. In this context, plasma IGF-I levels and the activation of both pathways in response to food were evaluated in the fine flounder using fasting and refeeding trials. The present study describes for the first time in a nonmammalian species that the MAPK/ERK and PI3K/Akt are activated by exogenous circulating IGF-I, as well as showing that the MAPK/ERK pathway activation is modulated by the nutritional status. Also, these results show that there is a time-dependent regulation of IGF-I plasma levels and its signaling pathways in muscle. Together, these results suggest that the nutritionally managed IGF-I could be regulating the activation of the MAPK/ERK and the PI3K/Akt signaling pathways differentially according to the nutritional status, triggering different effects in growth parameters and therefore contributing to somatic growth in fish. This study contributes to the understanding of the nutrient regulation of IGF-I and its signaling pathways in skeletal muscle growth in nonmammalian species, therefore providing insight concerning the events controlling somatic growth in vertebrates. 相似文献

Insulin and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) receptors are highly homologous tyrosine kinase receptors that share many common steps in their signaling pathways and have ligands that can bind to either receptor with differing affinities. To define precisely the signaling specific to the insulin receptor (IR) or the IGF-I receptor, we have generated brown preadipocyte cell lines that lack either receptor (insulin receptor knockout (IRKO) or insulin-like growth factor receptor knockout (IGFRKO)). Control preadipocytes expressed fewer insulin receptors than IGF-I receptors (20,000 versus 60,000), but during differentiation, insulin receptor levels increased so that mature adipocytes expressed slightly more insulin receptors than IGF-I receptors (120,000 versus 100,000). In these cells, insulin stimulated IR homodimer phosphorylation, whereas IGF-I activated both IGF-I receptor homodimers and hybrid receptors. Insulin-stimulated IRS-1 phosphorylation was significantly impaired in IRKO cells but was surprisingly elevated in IGFRKO cells. IRS-2 phosphorylation was unchanged in either cell line upon insulin stimulation. IGF-I-dependent phosphorylation of IRS-1 and IRS-2 was ablated in IGFRKO cells but not in IRKO cells. In control cells, both insulin and IGF-I produced a dose-dependent increase in phosphorylated Akt and MAPK, although IGF-I elicited a stronger response at an equivalent dose. In IRKO cells, the insulin-dependent increase in phospho-Akt was completely abolished at the lowest dose and reached only 20% of the control stimulation at 10 nm. Most interestingly, the response to IGF-I was also impaired at low doses, suggesting that IR is required for both insulin- and IGF-I-dependent phosphorylation of Akt. Most surprisingly, insulin- or IGF-I-dependent phosphorylation of MAPK was unaltered in either receptor-deficient cell line. Taken together, these results indicate that the insulin and IGF-I receptors contribute distinct signals to common downstream components in response to both insulin and IGF-I. 相似文献

Insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I and IGF-II play major roles in the regulation of skeletal muscle growth and differentiation, and both are locally expressed in muscle cells. Recent studies have demonstrated that IGF-II up-regulates its own gene expression during myogenesis and this auto-regulatory loop is critical for muscle differentiation. How local IGF-I is regulated in this process is unclear. Here, we report that while IGF-II up-regulated its own gene expression, it suppressed IGF-I gene expression during myogenesis. These opposite effects of IGF-II on IGF-I and IGF-II genes expression were time dependent and dose dependent. It has been shown that IGFs activate the PI3K-Akt-mTOR, p38 MAPK, and Erk1/2 MAPK pathways. In myoblasts, we examined their role(s) in mediating the opposite effects of IGF-II. Our results showed that both the PI3K-Akt-mTOR and p38 MAPK pathways played critical roles in increasing IGF-II mRNA expression. In contrast, mTOR was required for down-regulating the IGF-I gene expression by IGF-II. In addition, Akt, Erk1/2 MAPK, and p38 MAPK pathways were also involved in the regulation of basal levels of IGF-I and IGF-II genes during myogenesis. These findings reveal a previously unrecognized negative feedback mechanism and extend our knowledge of IGF-I and IGF-II gene expression and regulation during myogenesis. 相似文献

Comparison of insulin and insulin-like growth factor I receptors from rat skeletal muscle and L-6 myocytes 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Insulin and IGF-I receptors were solubilized from fused L-6 myocytes, a rat skeletal muscle derived cell line, and compared to rat skeletal muscle receptors. In skeletal muscle, 125I-insulin binding was competed by insulin greater than IGF-I greater than MSA, whereas in L-6 cells IGF-I greater than insulin greater than MSA. 125I-IGF-I binding was competed by IGF-I greater than insulin = MSA in both tissues. On electrophoresis, differences in Mr were observed between skeletal muscle and L-6 derived receptors both in the alpha- and beta-subunits. Six antibodies directed against the human insulin receptor beta-subunit recognized the rat skeletal muscle insulin receptor, while only two reacted strongly with L-6 derived receptors. Skeletal muscle has receptors with relative specificity for insulin and IGF-I respectively; L-6 cells also have two classes of receptors, one is kinetically similar to the IGF-I receptor from skeletal muscle; the other, which binds insulin with relatively high affinity has even greater affinity for IGF-I. This unusual receptor may represent a developmental stage in muscle or the transformed nature of L-6 cells. 相似文献

The relative function of IGF-I and insulin on fish muscle metabolism and growth has been investigated by the isolation and culture at different stages (myoblasts at day 1, myocytes at day 4, and myotubes at day 10) of rainbow trout muscle cells. This in vitro model avoids interactions with endogenous peptides, which could interfere with the muscle response. In these cells, the effects of IGF-I and insulin on cell proliferation, 2-deoxyglucose (2-DG), and l-alanine uptake at different development stages, and the use of inhibitors were studied and quantified. Insulin (10-1,000 nM) and IGF-I (10-100 nM) stimulated 2-DG uptake in trout myocytes at day 4 in a similar manner (maximum of 124% for insulin and of 142% for IGF-I), and this stimulation increased when cells differentiated to myotubes (maximum for IGF-I of 193%). When incubating the cells with PD-98059 and especially cytochalasin B, a reduction in 2-DG uptake was observed, suggesting that glucose transport takes place through specific facilitative transporters. IGF-I (1-100 nM) stimulated the l-alanine uptake in myocytes at day 4 (maximum of 239%), reaching higher values of stimulation than insulin (100-1,000 nM) (maximum of 160%). This stimulation decreased when cells developed to myotubes at day 10 (118% for IGF-I and 114% for insulin). IGF-I (0.125-25 nM) had a significant effect on myoblast proliferation, measured by thymidine incorporation (maximum of 170%), and required the presence of 2-5% fetal serum (FBS) to promote thymidine uptake. On the other hand, insulin was totally ineffective in stimulating thymidine uptake. We conclude that IGF-I is more effective than insulin in stimulating glucose and alanine uptake in rainbow trout myosatellite cells and that the degree of stimulation changes when cells differentiate to myotubes. IGF-I stimulates cell proliferation in this model of muscle in vitro and insulin does not. These results indicate the important role of IGF-I on growth and metabolism of fish muscle. 相似文献

To characterize and study the variations of IGF-I binding during the development of trout muscle cells, in vitro experiments were conducted using myocyte cultures, and IGF-I binding assays were performed in three stages of cell development: mononuclear cells (day 1), small myotubes (day 4), and large myotubes (day 10). Binding experiments were done by incubating cells with IGF-I for 12 h at 4 degrees C. Specific IGF-I binding increased with the concentration of labeled IGF-I and reached a plateau at 32 pM. The displacement of cold human and trout IGF-I showed a very similar curve (EC(50) = 1.19 +/- 0.05 and 0.95 +/- 0.05 nM, respectively). IGF binding proteins did not interfere significantly because displacement of labeled IGF-I by either cold trout recombinant IGF-I or Des (1-3) IGF-I resulted in similar curves. Insulin did not displace labeled IGF-I even at very high concentrations (>1 microM), which indicates the specificity of IGF-I binding. The amount of receptor (R(0)) increased from 253 +/- 51 fmol/mg DNA on day 1 to 766 +/- 107 fmol/mg DNA on day 10. However, the affinity (K(d)) of IGF-I receptors did not change significantly during this development (from 1.29 +/- 0.19 to 0.79 +/- 0.13 nM). On the basis of our results, we conclude that rainbow trout muscle cells in culture express specific IGF-I receptors, which increase their number with development from mononuclear cells to large myotubes. 相似文献

Although insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and androgen receptor (AR) are well known effectors of skeletal muscle, the
molecular mechanism by which signaling pathways integrating AR and IGF-I in skeletal muscle cells has not been previously
examined. In this study, the role of PI3K/Akt on IGF-I-induced gene expression and activation of AR in skeletal muscle cells
was investigated. C2C12 cells were treated with IGF-I in the absence or presence of inhibitors of PI3K/Akt pathway (LY294002
and Wortmannin). Inhibition of the PI3K/Akt pathway with LY294002 or Wortmannin led to a significant decrease in IGF-I-induced
AR phosphorylation and total AR protein expression. Furthermore, IGF-I-induced AR mRNA and skeletal α-actin mRNA were blocked
by LY294002 or Wortmannin. Confocal images showed that IGF-I-induced AR translocation from cytosol to nucleus was inhibited
significantly in response to treatment with LY294002 or Wortmannin. The present results suggest that modulating effect of
IGF-I on AR gene expression and activation in C2C12 mouse skeletal muscle cells is mediated at least in part by the PI3K/Akt
pathway. 相似文献

The adaptability of skeletal muscle to changes in the mechanical environment has been well characterized at the tissue and system levels, but the mechanisms through which mechanical signals are transduced to chemical signals that influence muscle growth and metabolism remain largely unidentified. However, several findings have suggested that mechanical signal transduction in muscle may occur through signaling pathways that are shared with insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I. The involvement of IGF-I-mediated signaling for mechanical signal transduction in muscle was originally suggested by the observations that muscle releases IGF-I on mechanical stimulation, that IGF-I is a potent agent for promoting muscle growth and affecting phenotype, and that IGF-I can function as an autocrine hormone in muscle. Accumulating evidence shows that at least two signaling pathways downstream of IGF-I binding can influence muscle growth and adaptation. Signaling via the calcineurin/nuclear factor of activated T-cell pathway has been shown to have a powerful influence on promoting the slow/type I phenotype in muscle but can also increase muscle mass. Neural stimulation of muscle can activate this pathway, although whether neural activation of the pathway can occur independent of mechanical activation or independent of IGF-I-mediated signaling remains to be explored. Signaling via the Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin pathway can also increase muscle growth, and recent findings show that activation of this pathway can occur as a response to mechanical stimulation applied directly to muscle cells, independent of signals derived from other cells. In addition, mechanical activation of mammalian target of rapamycin, Akt, and other downstream signals is apparently independent of autocrine factors, which suggests that activation of the mechanical pathway occurs independent of muscle-mediated IGF-I release. 相似文献

Insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I and -II have been cloned from a number of teleost species, but their cellular actions in fish are poorly defined. In this study, we show that both IGF-I and -II stimulated zebrafish embryonic cell proliferation and DNA synthesis in a concentration-dependent manner, whereas insulin had little mitogenic activity. Affinity cross-linking and immunoblotting studies revealed the presence of IGF receptors with the characteristics of the mammalian type I IGF receptor. Competitive binding assay results indicated that the binding affinities of the zebrafish IGF-I receptors to IGF-I, IGF-II, and insulin are 1.9, 2.6, and >190 nM, indicating that IGF-I and -II bind to the IGF-I receptor(s) with approximately equal high affinity. To further investigate the cellular mechanism of IGF actions, we have studied the effects of IGFs on two major signal transduction pathways: mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3 kinase). IGFs activated MAPK in zebrafish embryonic cells in a dose-dependent manner. This activation occurred within 5 min of IGF-I stimulation and disappeared after 1 h. IGF-I also caused a concentration-dependent activation of protein kinase B, a downstream target of PI3 kinase, this activation being sustained for several hours. Inhibition of MAPK activation by the MAPK kinase inhibitor PD-98059 inhibited the IGF-I-stimulated DNA synthesis. Similarly, use of the PI3 kinase inhibitor LY-294002 also inhibited IGF-I-stimulated DNA synthesis. When both the MAPK and PI3 kinase pathways were inhibited using a combination of these compounds, the IGF-I-stimulated DNA synthesis was completely negated. These results indicate that both IGF-I and -II are potent mitogens for zebrafish embryonic cells and that activation of both the MAPK and PI3 kinase-signaling pathways is required for the mitogenic action of IGFs in zebrafish embryonic cells. 相似文献

Maturation of the regulation of GLUT4 activity by p38 MAPK during L6 cell myogenesis 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Niu W Huang C Nawaz Z Levy M Somwar R Li D Bilan PJ Klip A 《The Journal of biological chemistry》2003,278(20):17953-17962
Insulin stimulates glucose uptake in skeletal muscle cells and fat cells by promoting the rapid translocation of GLUT4 glucose transporters to the plasma membrane. Recent work from our laboratory supports the concept that insulin also stimulates the intrinsic activity of GLUT4 through a signaling pathway that includes p38 MAPK. Here we show that regulation of GLUT4 activity by insulin develops during maturation of skeletal muscle cells into myotubes in concert with the ability of insulin to stimulate p38 MAPK. In L6 myotubes expressing GLUT4 that carries an exofacial myc-epitope (L6-GLUT4myc), insulin-stimulated GLUT4myc translocation equals in magnitude the glucose uptake response. Inhibition of p38 MAPK with SB203580 reduces insulin-stimulated glucose uptake without affecting GLUT4myc translocation. In contrast, in myoblasts, the magnitude of insulin-stimulated glucose uptake is significantly lower than that of GLUT4myc translocation and is insensitive to SB203580. Activation of p38 MAPK by insulin is considerably higher in myotubes than in myoblasts, as is the activation of upstream kinases MKK3/MKK6. In contrast, the activation of all three Akt isoforms and GLUT4 translocation are similar in myoblasts and myotubes. Furthermore, GLUT4myc translocation and phosphorylation of regulatory sites on Akt in L6-GLUT4myc myotubes are equally sensitive to insulin, whereas glucose uptake and phosphorylation of regulatory sites on p38 MAPK show lower sensitivity to the hormone. These observations draw additional parallels between Akt and GLUT4 translocation and between p38 MAPK and GLUT4 activation. Regulation of GLUT4 activity by insulin develops upon muscle cell differentiation and correlates with p38 MAPK activation by insulin. 相似文献

Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) induces skeletal muscle insulin resistance by impairing insulin signaling events involved in GLUT4 translocation. We tested whether mitogenic-activated protein kinase kinase kinase kinase isoform 4 (MAP4K4) causes the TNF-alpha-induced negative regulation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase-1/2 (ERK-1/2), c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK), and the insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) on the insulin signaling pathway governing glucose metabolism. Using small interfering RNA (siRNA) to suppress the expression of MAP4K4 protein 85% in primary human skeletal muscle cells, we provide evidence that TNF-alpha-induced insulin resistance on glucose uptake was completely prevented. MAP4K4 silencing inhibited TNF-alpha-induced negative signaling inputs by preventing excessive JNK and ERK-1/2 phosphorylation, as well as IRS-1 serine phosphorylation. These results highlight the MAPK4K4/JNK/ERK/IRS module in the negative regulation of insulin signaling to glucose transport in response to TNF-alpha. Depletion of MAP4K4 also prevented TNF-alpha-induced insulin resistance on Akt and the Akt substrate 160 (AS160), providing evidence that appropriate insulin signaling inputs for glucose metabolism were rescued. Silencing of MAP2K1 and MAP2K4, signaling proteins downstream of MAP4K4, recapitulated the effect of MAP4K4 siRNA in TNF-alpha-treated cells. Thus, strategies to inhibit MAP4K4 may be efficacious in the prevention of TNF-alpha-induced inhibitory signals that cause skeletal muscle insulin resistance on glucose metabolism in humans. Moreover, in myotubes from insulin-resistant type II diabetic patients, siRNA against MAP4K4, MAP2K4, or MAP2K1 restored insulin action on glucose uptake to levels observed in healthy subjects. Collectively, our results demonstrate that MAP4K4 silencing prevents insulin resistance in human skeletal muscle and restores appropriate signaling inputs to enhance glucose uptake. 相似文献

IGF-I is a potent fibrogenic growth factor that stimulates proliferation of intestinal smooth muscle cells and increases synthesis of collagen and IGF-I-binding proteins by the cells. These processes contribute to intestinal fibrosis that develops in patients with Crohn's disease and in Lewis-strain rats with experimental Crohn's disease. The aim of this study was to determine which early docking proteins are associated with IGF-I receptor signal transduction and which transduction pathway is involved in IGF-I-mediated gene regulation in intestinal smooth muscle cells. Primary cultures of smooth muscle cells isolated from the muscularis externa of the distal colon of Lewis rats were treated with IGF-I (100 ng/ml). Immunoprecipitation studies demonstrated that IGF-I stimulation resulted in tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1, IRS-2, and Shc. Coimmunoprecipitation demonstrated a close association between the IGF-I receptor and these three early docking proteins. Concurrent treatment with the MAPK inhibitor PD98059 (10 microM) resulted in an inhibition of the IGF-I-mediated increase in IGFBP-5 and collagen alpha(1)(I) mRNAs, while concurrent treatment with the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-K) inhibitor wortmannin (100 nM) had no effect. In additional experiments, cells were transiently transfected with adenoviral vectors dominantly expressing inactive mutant Akt or constitutively expressing wild-type Akt. In both cases, the IGF-I-mediated increase in collagen I protein did not differ from that observed in control cultures that had been transfected with an adenoviral vector carrying the LacZ reporter gene. These results suggest that the MAPK pathway is key to IGF-I-mediated gene regulation in intestinal smooth muscle cells, whereas data do not suggest a role for the Akt-dependent pathway in our system. 相似文献

In isosmotic conditions, insulin stimulation of PI 3-K/Akt and p38 MAPK pathways in skeletal muscle inhibits Na(+)-K(+)-2Cl(-) cotransporter (NKCC) activity induced by the ERK1,2 MAPK pathway. Whether these signaling cascades contribute to NKCC regulation during osmotic challenge is unknown. Increasing osmolarity by 20 mosM with either glucose or mannitol induced NKCC-mediated (86)Rb uptake and water transport into rat soleus and plantaris skeletal muscle in vitro. This NKCC activity restored intracellular water. In contrast to mannitol, hyperosmolar glucose increased ERK1,2 and p38 MAPK phosphorylation. Glucose, but not mannitol, impaired insulin-stimulated phosphorylation of Akt and p38 MAPK in the plantaris and soleus muscles, respectively. Hyperosmolarity-induced NKCC activation was insensitive to insulin action and pharmacological inhibition of ERK1,2 and p38 MAPK pathways. Paradoxically, cAMP-producing agents, which stimulate NKCC activity in isosmotic conditions, suppressed hyperosmolar glucose- and mannitol-induced NKCC activity and prevented restoration of muscle cell volume in hyperosmotic media. These results indicate that NKCC activity helps restore muscle cell volume during hyperglycemia. Moreover, hyperosmolarity activates NKCC regulatory pathways that are insensitive to insulin inhibition. 相似文献

In this study, the roles of the p38 MAPK, ERK1/2 and JNK signaling pathway in IGF-I-induced AR induction and activation were
examined. C2C12 cells were treated with IGF-I in the absence or presence of various inhibitors of p38 MAPK (SB203580), ERK1/2
(PD98059), and JNK (SP600125). Inhibition of the MAPK pathway with SB203580, PD98059, or SP600125 significantly decreased
IGF-I-induced AR phosphorylation and total AR protein expression. IGF-I-induced nuclear fraction of total AR and phosphorylated
AR were significantly inhibited by SB203580, PD98059, or SP600125. Furthermore, IGF-I-induced AR mRNA and skeletal α-actin
mRNA were blocked by those inhibitors in dose-dependent manner. Confocal images showed that IGF-I-induced AR nuclear translocation
from cytosol was significantly blocked by SB203580, PD98059, or SP600125, suggesting that the MAPK pathway regulates IGF-I-induced
AR nuclear localization in skeletal muscle cells. The present results suggest that the MAPK pathways are required for the
ligand-independent activation of AR by IGF-I in C2C12 skeletal muscle cells. 相似文献

Effects of rexinoids on glucose transport and insulin-mediated signaling in skeletal muscles of diabetic (db/db) mice 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Shen Q Cline GW Shulman GI Leibowitz MD Davies PJ 《The Journal of biological chemistry》2004,279(19):19721-19731
Rexinoids and thiazolidinediones (TZDs) are two classes of nuclear receptor ligands that induce insulin sensitization in diabetic rodents. TZDs are peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) activators, whereas rexinoids are selective ligands for the retinoid X receptors (RXRs). Activation of both the insulin receptor substrates (IRSs)/Akt and the c-Cbl-associated protein (CAP)/c-Cbl pathways are important in regulating insulin-stimulated glucose transport. We have compared the effects of a rexinoid (LG268) and a TZD (rosiglitazone) on these two signal pathways in skeletal muscle of diabetic (db/db) mice. The results we have obtained show that treatment of db/db mice with either LG268 or rosiglitazone for 2 weeks results in a significant increase in insulin-stimulated glucose transport activity in skeletal muscle. Treatment with LG268 increases insulin-stimulated IRS-1 tyrosine phosphorylation and Akt phosphorylation in skeletal muscle without affecting the activity of the CAP/c-Cbl pathway. In contrast, rosiglitazone increases the levels of CAP expression and insulin-stimulated c-Cbl phosphorylation without affecting the IRS-1/Akt pathway. The effects of LG268 on the IRS-1/Akt pathway were associated with a decrease in the level of IRS-1 Ser(307) phosphorylation. Taken together, these data suggest that rexinoids improve insulin sensitivity via changes in skeletal muscle metabolism that are distinct from those induced by TZDs. Rexinoids represent a novel class of insulin sensitizers with potential applications in the treatment of insulin resistance. 相似文献

Insulin resistance and Type 2 diabetes are marked by an aberrant response in the insulin signaling network. The phosphoinositide-dependent serine/threonine kinase, Akt2, plays a key role in insulin signaling and glucose uptake, most notably within skeletal muscle. Protein-protein interaction regulates the functional consequence of Akt2 and in turn, Akt2’s role in glucose uptake. However, only few insulin-responsive Akt2 interaction partners have been identified in skeletal muscle cells. In the present work, rat L6 myoblasts, a widely used insulin sensitive skeletal muscle cell line, were used to examine endogenous, insulin-stimulated Akt2 protein interaction partners. Akt2 co-immunoprecipitation was coupled with 1D-SDS-PAGE and fractions were analyzed by HPLC-ESI-MS/MS to reveal Akt2 protein-protein interactions. The pull-down assay displayed specificity for the Akt2 isoform; Akt1 and Akt3 unique peptides were not detected. A total of 49 were detected with a significantly increased (47) or decreased (2) association with Akt2 following insulin administration (n = 4; p<0.05). Multiple pathways were identified for the novel Akt2 interaction partners, such as the EIF2 and ubiquitination pathways. These data suggest that multiple new endogenous proteins may associate with Akt2 under basal as well as insulin-stimulated conditions, providing further insight into the insulin signaling network. Data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD002557. 相似文献
