Angiotensin II Inhibits Insulin Receptor Signaling in Adipose Cells. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23116048. [PMID: 35682723 PMCID: PMC9181642 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23116048] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2022] [Revised: 05/20/2022] [Accepted: 05/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Angiotensin II (Ang II) is a critical regulator of insulin signaling in the cardiovascular system and metabolic tissues. However, in adipose cells, the regulatory role of Ang II on insulin actions remains to be elucidated. The effect of Ang II on insulin-induced insulin receptor (IR) phosphorylation, Akt activation, and glucose uptake was examined in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. In these cells, Ang II specifically inhibited insulin-stimulated IR and insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) tyrosine-phosphorylation, Akt activation, and glucose uptake in a time-dependent manner. These inhibitory actions were associated with increased phosphorylation of the IR at serine residues. Interestingly, Ang II-induced serine-phosphorylation of IRS was not detected, suggesting that Ang II-induced desensitization begins from IR regulation itself. PKC inhibition by BIM I restored the inhibitory effect of Ang II on insulin actions. We also found that Ang II promoted activation of several PKC isoforms, including PKCα/βI/βII/δ, and its association with the IR, particularly PKCβII, showed the highest interaction. Finally, we also found a similar regulatory effect of Ang II in isolated adipocytes, where insulin-induced Akt phosphorylation was inhibited by Ang II, an effect that was prevented by PKC inhibitors. These results suggest that Ang II may lead to insulin resistance through PKC activation in adipocytes.

Abstract
Diabetic nephropathy, a lethal microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus, is characterized by progressive albuminuria, excessive deposition of extracellular matrix, thickened glomerular basement membrane, podocyte abnormalities, and podocyte loss. The G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) have attracted considerable attention in diabetic nephropathy, but the specific effects have not been elucidated yet. Likewise, abnormal signaling pathways are closely interrelated to the pathologic process of diabetic nephropathy, despite the fact that the mechanisms have not been explored clearly. Therefore, GPCRs and its mediated signaling pathways are essential for priority research, so that preventative strategies and potential targets might be developed for diabetic nephropathy. This article will give us comprehensive overview of predominant GPCR types, roles, and correlative signaling pathways in diabetic nephropathy.

Molecular Pathways Regulating Macrovascular Pathology and Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells Phenotype in Type 2 Diabetes. Int J Mol Sci 2015; 16:24353-68.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a disease reaching a pandemic proportion in developed countries and a major risk factor for almost all cardiovascular diseases and their adverse clinical manifestations. T2DM leads to several macrovascular and microvascular alterations that influence the progression of cardiovascular diseases. Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are fundamental players in macrovascular alterations of T2DM patients. VSMCs display phenotypic and functional alterations that reflect an altered intracellular biomolecular scenario of great vessels of T2DM patients. Hyperglycemia itself and through intraparietal accumulation of advanced glycation-end products (AGEs) activate different pathways, in particular nuclear factor-κB and MAPKs, while insulin and insulin growth-factor receptors (IGFR) are implicated in the activation of Akt and extracellular-signal-regulated kinases (ERK) 1/2. Nuclear factor-κB is also responsible of increased susceptibility of VSMCs to pro-apoptotic stimuli. Down-regulation of insulin growth-factor 1 receptors (IGFR-1R) activity in diabetic vessels also influences negatively miR-133a levels, so increasing apoptotic susceptibility of VSMCs. Alterations of those bimolecular pathways and related genes associate to the prevalence of a synthetic phenotype of VSMCs induces extracellular matrix alterations of great vessels. A better knowledge of those biomolecular pathways and related genes in VSMCs will help to understand the mechanisms leading to macrovascular alterations in T2DM patients and to suggest new targeted therapies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We investigated the relationships among protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B), angiotensin II (Ang II), and insulin signaling in the presence of endothelial dysfunction in type 2 diabetic Goto-Kakizaki (GK) rat aortas. METHODS AND RESULTS Aortas isolated from GK or control Wistar rats were examined in the presence or absence of Ang II with or without a selective antagonist of the Ang II type 1 (AT1) receptor or a PTP1B inhibitor to evaluate vascular functional and molecular mechanisms, such as insulin-induced relaxation, nitric oxide (NO) production, phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate (IRS)-1, endothelial NO synthase (eNOS), and phosphorylation, and the subcellular localization of PTP1B. GK aortas exhibited reductions of: 1) insulin-induced relaxation, 2) NO production, 3) Ser(1177)-p-eNOS, and 4) Tyr(612)-p-IRS-1. Pre-incubation with a PTP1B inhibitor normalized these reductions. In Wistar aortas, the four above-mentioned parameters were reduced by Ang II, but were completely inhibited by co-treatment with the PTP1B inhibitor. The membrane expression of PTP1B was greater in GK than in Wistar aortas, and it was increased by Ang II in Wistar rats. The membrane PTP1B expression in the presence of insulin + Ang II was reduced by the PTP1B inhibitor or AT1-receptor antagonist. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that the membrane PTP1B suppressed insulin-mediated aortic relaxation, and this was due to the Ang II-AT1-receptor signaling pathway. The inhibition of PTP1B warrants further investigation as a potential therapeutic target for endothelial dysfunction in type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
The presence of insulin resistance is increasingly recognized as an important contributor to early stage kidney disease independent of the contribution of diabetes. Important in this relationship is the strong correlation between hyperinsulinemia and low levels of albuminuria (e.g. microalbuminuria). Recent work highlight mechanisms for glomerular/tubulointerstitial injury with excess insulin and emerging evidence identifies a unique role for insulin metabolic signaling and altered handling of salt reabsorption at the level of the proximal tubule. Evidence is also emerging for the role of insulin signaling in the glomerulus both epithelial and endothelial. Central to the mechanism of injury is inappropriate activation of the RAAS.

5HT(2A) and 5HT(2B) receptors contribute to serotonin-induced vascular dysfunction in diabetes. EXPERIMENTAL DIABETES RESEARCH 2012; 2012:398406.

Abstract
Although 5HT(2A) receptors mediate contractions of normal arteries to serotonin (5HT), in some cardiovascular diseases, other receptor subtypes contribute to the marked increase in serotonin contractions. We hypothesized that enhanced contractions of arteries from diabetics to 5HT are mediated by an increased contribution from multiple 5HT receptor subtypes. We compared responses to selective 5HT receptor agonists and expression of 5HT receptor isoforms (5HT(1B), 5HT(2A), and 5HT(2B)) in aorta from nondiabetic (ND) compared to type 2 diabetic mice (DB, BKS.Cg-Dock7(m)+/+Lepr(db)/J). 5HT, 5HT(2A) (TCB2 and BRL54443), and 5HT(2B) (norfenfluramine and BW723C86) receptor agonists produced concentration-dependent contractions of ND arteries that were markedly increased in DB arteries. Neither ND nor DB arteries contracted to a 5HT(1B) receptor agonist. MDL11939, a 5HT(2A) receptor antagonist, and LY272015, a 5HT(2B) receptor antagonist, reduced contractions of arteries from DB to 5HT more than ND. Expression of 5HT(1B), 5HT(2A), and 5HT(2B) receptor subtypes was similar in ND and DB. Inhibition of rho kinase decreased contractions to 5HT and 5HT(2A) and 5HT(2B) receptor agonists in ND and DB. We conclude that in contrast to other cardiovascular diseases, enhanced contraction of arteries from diabetics to 5HT is not due to a change in expression of multiple 5HT receptor subtypes.

Abstract
Insulin (INS) metabolic signaling is important for normal cardiovascular and renal function as well as for exerting the classic actions of INS, such as glucose uptake in skeletal muscle tissue. There is emerging evidence that tyrosine phosphatases as well as protein kinases have important modulating roles in INS metabolic signaling in both cardiovascular and classically INS- sensitive tissues. For example, increases in phosphatase activity may partially explain how angiotensin II and aldosterone attenuate activation of the INS receptor substrate protein 1 (IRS-1)-phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase-protein kinase B pathway, thereby promoting INS resistance. On the other hand, phosphatase activation may also exert beneficial and cardiovascular protective effects in conditions such as overnutrition by blocking serine phosphorylation of IRS-1, thereby improving downstream INS metabolic signaling. Both the beneficial and the detrimental effects exerted by the activation of phosphatases will be covered in this report.

Abstract
Pdx-1 and Irs-1, genes highly associated with diabetes onset, were knocked down in mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells in order to develop cell line models for diabetes. ES cells with different gene knockdown levels were induced to differentiate to the stage of insulin production. Among the cell lines that differentiated, we identified two in which the levels of expression of both genes were 20-40 % of that of control cells. These cell lines showed appreciable deficiencies in three characteristic malfunctions associated with diabetes, namely, insulin production, insulin reception signaling, and glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. These dysfunctions were consistent with results reported elsewhere from in vivo and in vitro studies. Both cell lines did not show any abnormal morphology such as size, shape, color, and surface roughness. No abnormal expression profiles for 17 genes relevant to diabetes were observed. Therefore, these cell lines fulfilled the criteria for a validated cell model for diabetes. The model cell lines developed here are promising biomaterials for cell-based screening tests of new medicines that may be effective in treating diabetes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Insulin resistance, diabetes, and hypertension are considered elements of metabolic syndrome which is associated with vascular dysfunction. We investigated whether inhibition of protein kinase C (PKC) would affect vascular function in diabetic hypertensive (DH) rats. METHODS A combination of type 2 diabetes and arterial hypertension was produced in male Sprague Dawley rats by intrauterine protein deprivation (IUPD) followed by high salt diet. At the age of 32 weeks, DH rats were treated for 2 weeks with the angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor captopril (Capto, 30 mg/kg), PKC inhibitor ruboxistaurin (RBX, 50 mg/kg) or vehicle (n = 8 per group) and blood pressure was monitored using telemetry. At the end of experiments, femoral arteries were dissected, and vascular reactivity was evaluated with isovolumic myography. RESULTS The IUPD followed by high salt diet resulted in significant elevation of plasma glucose, plasma insulin, and blood pressure. Endothelium-dependent vascular relaxation in response to acetylcholine was blunted while vascular contraction in response to phenylephrine was enhanced in the DH rats. Neither Capto nor RBX restored endothelium-dependent vascular relaxation while both suppressed vascular contraction. Ex-vivo incubation of femoral arteries from control rats with insulin induced dose-response vasorelaxation while insulin failed to induce vasorelaxation in the DH rat arteries. In the control arteries treated with endothelial nitric oxide synthase inhibitor L-NAME, insulin induced vasoconstriction that was exacerbated in DH rats. Capto and RBX partially inhibited insulin-stimulated vascular contraction. CONCLUSION These findings suggest that PKC inhibition ameliorates functional endothelial insulin resistance and smooth muscle cell hypersensitivity to insulin, but does not restore acetylcholine-activated endothelium-dependent vasodilation in DH rats.
