Insulin-induced epidermal growth factor activation in vascular smooth muscle cells is ADAM-dependent

Abstract: Background-With the rise in metabolic syndrome, understanding the role of insulin signaling within the cells of vasculature has become more important but yet remains poorly defined. The study examines the role of insulin actions on a pivotal cross-talk receptor, Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR). EGFR is transactivated by both G-protein-coupled receptors and receptor linked tyrosine kinases and is key to many of their responses.

“…The phosphorylation of EGFR appeared to be enhanced in the presence of GM6001, with a relatively higher S.E.M. In line with our observations, GM6001 was also reported previously as causing a slightly higher EGFR phosphorylation induced by insulin (Roztocil et al, 2008).…”

“…Insulin resistance and the associated metabolic syndrome lead to a reduction in the ability of multiple cell types, and especially neurons, to uptake glucose, regulate calcium homeostasis and respond positively to trophic and neurotrophic stimuli [ 173 ]. In addition to generating a global disruption of neuronal energy balance, protracted insulin resistance leads to a loss of vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) functional regulation and promotion of VSMC migration [ 174 ]. The latter is crucial in atherosclerotic development and wound healing.…”

“…However, no previous study had examined this possibility under short-term conditions. The manner by which MMPs may be “beneficial” remains to be determined; however, scenarios include the possibility that MMPs may “activate” via their proteolytic action biological mediators of cardioprotection such as humoral factors, which would act in an autocrine and/or paracrine manner 36. One such possibility could be the cleavage of insulin-like growth factor or transforming growth factor-β1 by MMP-7.…”
