We examined the effects of anti-six-transmembrane epithelial antigen of the prostate-4 (STEAP4) antibodies on glucose transport in mature adipocytes and determined the mechanism of insulin resistance in obesity. Western blotting was performed to determine STEAP4 expression, to assess translocation of insulin-sensitive glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4), and to measure phosphorylation and total protein content of insulin-signaling proteins. Confocal laser microscopy and flow cytometry were used to detect intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and fluctuations in mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨ). ATP production was measured by using a luciferase-based luminescence assay kit. After the application of anti-STEAP4 antibodies at 0.002?mg/mL, adipocytes exhibited reduced insulin-stimulated glucose transport by attenuating the phosphorylation of IRS-1, PI3K (p85), and Akt. The antibodies also potentially increase the level of ROS and decrease cellular ATP production and ΔΨ. In conclusion, (i) STEAP4 regulates the function of IRS-1, PI3K, and Akt and decreases insulin-induced GLUT4 translocation and glucose uptake; (ii) ROS-related mitochondrial dysfunction may be related to a reduced IRS-1 correlation with the PI3K signaling pathway, leading to insulin resistance. These observations highlight the potential role of STEAP4 in glucose homeostasis and possibly in the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes related to obesity and may provide new insights into the mechanisms of insulin resistance in obesity. 相似文献
