Abstract: | Isolated rat hepatocytes were incubated for 1 h at 37 degrees C with 10 nM insulin. Following washout of insulin, cells were incubated with 125I] monoiodoinsulin at 15 degrees C to assess surface insulin binding. Preincubation with 10 nM insulin did not cause a decrease in insulin binding. Scatchard analysis confirmed that insulin receptor number remained constant. In the presence of 200 microM chloroquine or 25 microM monensin, surface insulin binding after preincubation with 10 nM insulin fell to 81.1 +/- 1.2% or 39.0 +/- 2.7% of control, respectively. It is suggested that the maintenance of insulin receptor number following acute insulin treatment in vitro is due to an insulin receptor recycling pathway, possibly involving lysosomes and/or the Golgi apparatus. |
