Abstract
Insulin treatment in vivo provoked rapid dose-related increases in diacylglycerol content and/or translocation of protein kinase-C (PKC) from cytosol to membranes in rat soleus and gastrocnemius muscles. These effects were apparent with 1) insulin doses that provoked submaximal and maximal increases in glucose utilization, and 2) glucose-stimulated endogenous insulin secretion. Insulin-stimulated PKC translocation was evident when PKC was assayed by 1) histone or protamine phosphorylation after PKC purification by Mono Q column chromatography, and 2) immunoblotting for PKC beta and PKC epsilon. Dose-related effects of insulin on PKC translocation were also observed in the rat soleus in vitro, and this was associated with increased phosphorylation of 40- and 80-kilodalton proteins, which were also phosphorylated by phorbol ester treatment. A role for diacylglycerol-PKC signalling in insulin-stimulated glucose transport was suggested by studies of [3H]2-deoxyglucose ([3H]2-DOG) uptake in the rat soleus in vitro in that 1) PKC translocation and 2-DOG uptake were correlated; and 2) stimulatory effects of insulin and phorbol esters on 2-DOG uptake were apparently nonadditive.
