Insulin resistance in genetically obese (fa/fa) rats: changes in the glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol signaling system in isolated hepatocytes.

Abstract: In different types of mammalian cells, insulin has been shown to promote the release of an inositol phosphate glycan (InsP-glycan) through the hydrolysis of a glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol (glycosyl-PtdIns). This InsP-glycan, which has been demonstrated to be taken up by intact cells, may mediate some of the biological effects of insulin. We have investigated how the insulin resistance expressed in genetically obese (fa/fa) rats affects the glycosyl-PtdIns signaling system in isolated hepatocytes compared to w… Show more

“…Another possible explanation is that the pattern of impaired GPI/IPG signaling in hepatocytes of fa/fa rats reported by Sancbez-Gutierrez et at. (12) was less dramatic than the STZ rats (11) and is concomitant with normoglycemia of fa/fa rats. Furthermore, results from the present study indicate that urinary chiro-inositol and myo-inositol excretion increases with the severity of diabetes, as observed in the db/db mice.…”

“…Although the exact mechanism and the role of inositols in GPI/IPG signaling is not fully understood, increased renal excretion of chiroand myo-inositol is in keeping with this observed defect. To date, no data on the GPI/IPG signaling system has been reported for db/db mice, however, a similar pattern of impaired GPI-dependent insulin signaling was demonstrated in 14-to 21-week-old fa/fa rats (12). Hepatocyte content of GPI and IPG uptake were reduced by approximately 30% in fa/fa rats compared with lean control animals.…”

“…In this regard it is noteworthy that adipocytes isolated from the genetically inbred insulin resistant Goto-Kakizaki rat, a model of non-obese NIDDM, which has a low rate of urinary chiro-inositol excretion, did not release IPGs in response to insulin, whereas adipocytes from control rats did release IPGs in response to insulin [21]. Moreover, four different states of insulin resistance, i. e. glucocorticoid treatment, streptozotocininduced diabetes, aging and genetic obesity, are associated with similar defects in the ability of insulin to elicit the release of IPGs from isolated hepatocytes [22]. This suggests that insulin resistance, rather than diabetes or obesity, is the factor primarily responsible for the lack of increase in the serum PDH activator after glucose ingestion in the IRM group.…”

“…The glycan also promotes serine/threonine dephosphorylation in adipocyte extracts via a mechanism requiring PP1, the phosphatase that regulates the activity of both glycogen synthetase and phosphorylase (46). Moreover, reduced cellular GPI content and insulin-stimulated turnover was accompanied by a marked decrease in stimulation of glycogen synthase activity and net glycogen accumulation in hepatocytes isolated from insulinresistant, genetically obese rats (47). While these observations indicated a correlation between GPI metabolism and glycogen synthesis, an absolute dependence has not been demonstrated.…”
