- Insulin-dependent diabetic recipients of successful pancreas allografts achieve self-regulatory insulin secretion and discontinue exogenous insulin therapy; however, chronic hyperinsulinemia and impaired insulin sensitivity generally develop. To determine whether insulin resistance is accompanied by altered signal transduction, skeletal muscle biopsies were obtained from pancreas-kidney transplant recipients (n = 4), nondiabetic kidney transplant recipients (receiving the same immunosuppressive drugs; n = 5), and healthy subjects (n = 6) before and during a euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp. Basal insulin receptor substrate (IRS)-1 Ser (312) and Ser (616) phosphorylation, IRS-1–associated phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activity, and extracellular signal–regulated kinase (ERK)-1/2 phosphorylation were elevated in pancreas-kidney transplant recipients, coincident with fasting hyperinsulinemia. Basal IRS-1 Ser (312) and Ser (616) phosphorylation was also increased in nondiabetic kidney transplant recipients. Insulin increased phosphorylation of IRS-1 at Ser (312) but not Ser (616) in healthy subjects, with impairments noted in nondiabetic kidney and pancreas-kidney transplant recipients. Insulin action on ERK-1/2 and Akt phosphorylation was impaired in pancreas-kidney transplant recipients and was preserved in nondiabetic kidney transplant recipients. Importantly, insulin stimulation of the Akt substrate AS160 was impaired in nondiabetic kidney and pancreas-kidney transplant recipients. In conclusion, peripheral insulin resistance in pancreas-kidney transplant recipients may arise from a negative feedback regulation of the canonical insulin-signaling cascade from excessive serine phosphorylation of IRS-1, possibly as a consequence of immunosuppressive therapy and hyperinsulinemia.

- The effect of metformin or rosiglitazone monotherapy versus placebo on insulin signaling and gene expression in skeletal muscle of patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes was determined. A euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp, combined with skeletal muscle biopsies and glucose uptake measurements over rested and exercised muscle, was performed before and after 26 weeks of metformin (n = 9), rosiglitazone (n = 10), or placebo (n = 11) treatment. Insulin-mediated whole-body and leg muscle glucose uptake was enhanced 36 and 32%, respectively, after rosiglitazone (P < 0.01) but not after metformin or placebo treatment. Insulin increased insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1) tyrosine phosphorylation, IRS-1–associated phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase activity, and phosphorylation of Akt Ser473 and AS160, a newly described Akt substrate that plays a role in GLUT4 exocytosis, ∼2.3 fold before treatment. These insulin signaling parameters were unaltered after metformin, rosiglitazone, or placebo treatment. Expression of selected genes involved in glucose and fatty acid metabolism in skeletal muscle was unchanged between the treatment groups. Low-intensity acute exercise increased insulin-mediated glucose uptake but was without effect on insulin signaling. In conclusion, the insulin-sensitizing effects of rosiglitazone are independent of enhanced signaling of IRS-1/PI 3-kinase/Akt/AS160 in patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes.

- Aberrant insulin signaling and glucose metabolism in skeletal muscle from type 2 diabetic patients may arise from genetic defects and an altered metabolic milieu. We determined insulin action on signal transduction and glucose transport in isolated vastus lateralis skeletal muscle from normal glucose-tolerant first-degree relatives of type 2 diabetic patients (n = 8, 41 ± 3 years, BMI 25.1 ± 0.8 kg/m2) and healthy control subjects (n = 9, 40 ± 2 years, BMI 23.4 ± 0.7 kg/m2) with no family history of diabetes. Basal and submaximal insulin-stimulated (0.6 and 1.2 nmol/l) glucose transport was comparable between groups, whereas the maximal response (120 nmol/l) was 38% lower (P < 0.05) in the relatives. Insulin increased phosphorylation of Akt and Akt substrate of 160 kDa (AS160) in a dose-dependent manner, with comparable responses between groups. AS160 phosphorylation and glucose transport were positively correlated in control subjects (R2 = 0.97, P = 0.01) but not relatives (R2 = 0.46, P = 0.32). mRNA of key transcriptional factors and coregulators of mitochondrial biogenesis were also determined. Skeletal muscle mRNA expression of peroxisome proliferator–activated receptor (PPAR) γ coactivator (PGC)-1α, PGC-1β, PPARδ, nuclear respiratory factor-1, and uncoupling protein-3 was comparable between first-degree relatives and control subjects. In conclusion, the uncoupling of insulin action on Akt/AS160 signaling and glucose transport implicates defective GLUT4 trafficking as an early event in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes.

- AS160 is a newly described substrate for the protein kinase Akt that links insulin signaling and GLUT4 trafficking. In this study, we determined the expression of and in vivo insulin action on AS160 in human skeletal muscle. In addition, we compared the effect of physiological hyperinsulinemia on AS160 phosphorylation in 10 lean−to−moderately obese type 2 diabetic and 9 healthy subjects. Insulin infusion increased the phosphorylation of several proteins reacting with a phospho-Akt substrate antibody. We focused on AS160, as this Akt substrate has been linked to glucose transport. A 160-kDa phosphorylated protein was identified as AS160 by immunoblot analysis with an AS160-specific antibody. Physiological hyperinsulinemia increased AS160 phosphorylation 2.9-fold in skeletal muscle of control subjects (P < 0.001). Insulin-stimulated AS160 phosphorylation was reduced 39% (P < 0.05) in type 2 diabetic patients. AS160 protein expression was similar in type 2 diabetic and control subjects. Impaired AS160 phosphorylation was related to aberrant Akt signaling; insulin action on Akt Ser473 phosphorylation was not significantly reduced in type 2 diabetic compared with control subjects, whereas Thr308 phosphorylation was impaired 51% (P < 0.05). In conclusion, physiological hyperinsulinemia increases AS160 phosphorylation in human skeletal muscle. Moreover, defects in insulin action on AS160 may impair GLUT4 trafficking in type 2 diabetes.
