Alterations in skeletal muscle protein-tyrosine phosphatase activity and expression in insulin-resistant human obesity and diabetes.

Abstract: Obese human subjects have increased protein-tyrosine phosphatase (PTPase) activity in adipose tissue that can dephosphorylate and inactivate the insulin receptor kinase. To extend these findings to skeletal muscle, we measured PTPase activity in the skeletal muscle particulate fraction and cytosol from a series of lean controls, insulin-resistant obese (body mass index Ͼ 30) nondiabetic subjects, and obese individuals with non-insulin-dependent diabetes. PTPase activities in subcellular fractions from the nond… Show more

“…In insulin-resistant states such as obesity and type 2 diabetes, insulin signaling is impaired. Several studies of obese humans and rodents report that the expression and͞or activity of specific PTPs, including leukocyte antigen-related phosphatase (LAR), protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B), and srchomology phosphatase-2 (SHP2), are increased in muscle and adipose tissue (11)(12)(13)(14)(15). We have also observed increased levels of LAR expression in immunoblots of liver extracts from Zucker rats (J.M.Z., unpublished observations).…”

“…We have also observed increased levels of LAR expression in immunoblots of liver extracts from Zucker rats (J.M.Z., unpublished observations). Immunodepletion experiments suggest that a 2-3-fold elevation of LAR accounts for most of the enhanced PTP activity in both adipose tissue (12) and muscle (13) of obese humans.…”

“…To investigate the potential mechanism(s) associated with this glucose intolerance, we examined the levels of PTP1B, a well-known negative regulator of insulin and leptin receptor signalling [32] whose levels are elevated in obesity in humans [33,34] and rodents, and under inflammatory conditions [22,35,36]. Mice lacking PTP1B globally or specifically in the brain [35,37,38] are lean, while those lacking muscle-or liver-PTP1B are protected against HFD-induced insulin resistance and glucose intolerance [18,19].…”

“…Indeed, increased expression and activity of several PTPs has been observed in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue in insulin-resistant, obese states in rodents and humans (16 -20). In obese humans, the increased PTP activity in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue has been reported to be due mainly to increased expression of two PTPs, the transmembrane (receptor-like) leukocyte antigen related phosphatase (LAR) and the nontransmembrane tyrosine phosphatase PTP1B (17,18). Whereas Src homology phosphatase 2 expression is also increased, immunodepletion (17,18) and substrate specificity (21) studies suggest it may be less important.…”

Whereas Src homology phosphatase 2 expression is also increased, immunodepletion (17,18) and substrate specificity (21) studies suggest it may be less important. Consistent with the notion that increased PTP activity may contribute to insulin resistance, weight loss in obese humans results in a decrease in the level of these PTPs, concomitant with an increase in the glucose disposal rate (22).…”
