- AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activation by AICAR (5-amino-imidazole carboxamide riboside) is correlated with increased glucose transport in rodent skeletal muscle via an insulin-independent pathway. We determined in vitro effects of insulin and/or AICAR exposure on glucose transport and cell-surface GLUT4 content in skeletal muscle from nondiabetic men and men with type 2 diabetes. AICAR increased glucose transport in a dose-dependent manner in healthy subjects. Insulin and AICAR increased glucose transport and cell-surface GLUT4 content to a similar extent in control subjects. In contrast, insulin- and AICAR-stimulated responses on glucose transport and cell-surface GLUT4 content were impaired in subjects with type 2 diabetes. Importantly, exposure of type 2 diabetic skeletal muscle to a combination of insulin and AICAR increased glucose transport and cell-surface GLUT4 content to levels achieved in control subjects. AICAR increased AMPK and acetyl-CoA carboxylase phosphorylation to a similar extent in skeletal muscle from subjects with type 2 diabetes and nondiabetic subjects. Our studies highlight the potential importance of AMPK-dependent pathways in the regulation of GLUT4 and glucose transport activity in insulin-resistant skeletal muscle. Activation of AMPK is an attractive strategy to enhance glucose transport through increased cell surface GLUT4 content in insulin-resistant skeletal muscle.

- Cell surface GLUT4 levels in skeletal muscle from nine type 2 diabetic subjects and nine healthy control subjects have been assessed by a new technique that involves the use of a biotinylated photo-affinity label. A profound impairment in GLUT4 translocation to the skeletal muscle cell surface in response to insulin was observed in type 2 diabetic patients. Levels of insulin-stimulated cell surface GLUT4 above basal in type 2 diabetic patients were only approximately 10% of those observed in healthy subjects. The magnitude of the defect in GLUT4 translocation in type 2 diabetic patients was greater than that observed for glucose transport activity, which was approximately 50% of that in healthy subjects. Reduced GLUT4 translocation is therefore a major contributor to the impaired glucose transport activity in skeletal muscle from type 2 diabetic subjects. When a marked impairment in GLUT4 translocation occurs, the contribution of other transporters to transport activity becomes apparent. In response to hypoxia, marked reductions in skeletal muscle cell surface GLUT4 levels were also observed in type 2 diabetic patients. Therefore, a defect in a common late stage in signal transduction and/or a direct impairment in the GLUT4 translocation process accounts for reduced glucose transport in type 2 diabetic patients.
