Abstract
Sulfonylureas are drugs widely used in the treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. In addition to their pancreatic effect of stimulating insulin secretion, many studies suggest that sulfonylureas also have extrapancreatic actions. We have previously reported that gliclazide, a second-generation sulfonylurea, stimulates the glucose uptake by rat hindquarter skeletal muscle directly and immediately by promoting the translocation of glucose transporter 4 to the plasma membrane. The aim of our study was to approach the gliclazide intracellular signaling pathway. For this purpose, we incubated clamped and isolated soleus muscle from rat with gliclazide. The following results were obtained: 1) gliclazide stimulates insulin receptor substrate (IRS)-1-phosphatidylinositol 3 (PI3)-kinase-associated activity, and this activity is necessary for gliclazide-stimulated glucose transport; 2) gliclazide treatment produces a gradual translocation of the diacylglycerol (DAG)-dependent isoforms protein kinase C (PKC) alpha, theta, and epsilon from cytosolic to membrane fraction that is dependent on PI3-kinase and phospholipase C (PLC)-gamma activation; and 3) PKC and PLC-gamma activation is necessary for gliclazide-stimulated glucose transport. We propose a hypothetical signaling pathway by which gliclazide could stimulate IRS-1 that would allow its association with PI3-kinase, promoting its activation. PI3-kinase products could induce PLC-gamma activation, whose hydrolytic activity could activate the DAG-dependent isoforms PKC alpha, theta, and epsilon.

Abstract
Diacylglycerol (DAG) and protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms have been implicated in insulin signalling in muscle and fat cells. We evaluated the involvement of DAG and PKC in the action of insulin in adult rat hepatocytes cultured with dexamethasone, but in the absence of serum, for 48 h. Our results show that although insulin stimulated glycolysis and glycogen synthesis, it had no effect on DAG mass or molecular species composition. Epidermal growth factor showed the expected insulin-mimetic effect on glycolysis, whereas ATP and exogenous phospholipase C acted as antagonists and abolished the insulin signal. Similarly to insulin, epidermal growth factor had no effect on DAG mass or molecular species composition. In contrast, both ATP and phospholipase C induced a prominent increase in several DAG molecular species, including 18:0/20:4, 18:0/20:5, 18:0/22:5 and a decrease in 18:1/18:1. These changes were paralleled by an increase in phospholipase D activity, which was absent in insulin-treated cells. By immunoblotting or by measuring PKC activity, we found that neither insulin nor ATP translocated the PKCalpha, -delta, -epsilon or -zeta isoforms from the cytosol to the membrane in cells cultured for six or 48 h. Similarly, insulin had no effect on immunoprecipitable PKCzeta. Suppression of the glycogenic insulin signal by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, but not by ATP, could be completely alleviated by bisindolylmaleimide. Finally, insulin showed no effect on DAG mass or translocation of PKC isoforms in the perfused liver, although it reduced the glucagon-stimulated glucose output by 75%. Together these results indicate that phospholipases C and D or multiple PKC isoforms are not involved in the hepatic insulin signal chain.

Abstract
Insulin provokes rapid changes in phospholipid metabolism and thereby generates biologically active lipids that serve as intracellular signaling factors that regulate glucose transport and glycogen synthesis. These changes include: (i) activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) and production of PIP3; (ii) PIP3-dependent activation of atypical protein kinase Cs (PKCs); (iii) PIP3-dependent activation of PKB; (iv) PI3K-dependent activation of phospholipase D and hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine with subsequent increases in phosphatidic acid (PA) and diacylglycerol (DAG); (v) PI3K-independent activation of glycerol-3-phosphate acylytansferase and increases in de novo synthesis of PA and DAG; and (vi) activation of DAG-sensitive PKCs. Recent findings suggest that atypical PKCs and PKB serve as important positive regulators of insulin-stimulated glucose metabolism, whereas mechanisms that result in the activation of DAG-sensitive PKCs serve mainly as negative regulators of insulin signaling through PI3K. Atypical PKCs and PKB are rapidly activated by insulin in adipocytes, liver, skeletal muscles, and other cell types by a mechanism requiring PI3K and its downstream effector, 3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase-1 (PDK-1), which, in conjunction with PIP3, phosphorylates critical threonine residues in the activation loops of atypical PKCs and PKB. PIP3 also promotes increases in autophosphorylation and allosteric activation of atypical PKCs. Atypical PKCs and perhaps PKB appear to be required for insulin-induced translocation of the GLUT 4 glucose transporter to the plasma membrane and subsequent glucose transport. PKB also appears to be the major regulator of glycogen synthase. Together, atypical PKCs and PKB serve as a potent, integrated PI3K/PDK-1-directed signaling system that is used by insulin to regulate glucose metabolism.

Abstract
The effects of brazilin on glucose transport into isolated rat epididymal adipocytes were investigated. Brazilin increased [3H]2-deoxy-D-glucose uptake, which was characterized by an increase in Vmax with no effect on the Km value. Phenylarsine oxide, which inhibits the translocation of glucose transporters, decreased brazilin-stimulated glucose transport to the basal level. The inhibition of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-kinase) with wortmannin also blocked brazilin-stimulated glucose transport. Western blot analysis with an anti-GLUT4 antibody revealed that brazilin increased the translocation of GLUT4 from intracellular pools to the plasma membrane. Brazilin, in combination with phorbol ester, showed an additive effect on glucose transport. The stimulating effect of phorbol ester on glucose transport was inhibited by staurosporine, but the effect of brazilin remained unchanged. Protein kinase C activity was not influenced by brazilin treatment. The inhibition of protein synthesis showed no effect on brazilin-stimulated glucose transport, and GLUT4 content in the total membrane fraction was not altered as a result of treatment with brazilin for 4 hr. Metabolic labeling of GLUT4 with [35S]methionine showed that de novo synthesis of GLUT4 was not induced by brazilin. These data suggest that brazilin may increase glucose transport by recruitment of GLUT4 from intracellular pools to the plasma membrane of adipocytes via the activation of PI3-kinase. However, the effect of brazilin may not be mediated by GLUT4 synthesis and protein kinase C activation.

Abstract
Phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho) is the most abundant phospholipid in mammalian cell membranes and is essential for cell viability. The levels of this lipid must be tightly controlled to maintain homeostasis. Therefore, changes in the rate of PtdCho synthesis are generally balanced by changes in PtdCho catabolism and vice versa. It is commonly accepted that the rate of PtdCho synthesis is regulated by CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase (CT). However, it is not certain if PtdCho mass is regulated by specific catabolic enzyme(s). Our goal is to determine if PtdCho homeostasis is regulated by a phospholipase A2 (PLA2). To this end, we have prepared Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell lines that overexpress CT. CT activity is 7-10-fold higher in the transfected cells than in parental CHO cells. This increase in CT activity is associated with increases in both PtdCho synthesis and PtdCho catabolism. Glycerophosphocholine is the PtdCho catabolite that accumulates in the transfected cells, which suggests that PtdCho turnover is mediated by a phospholipase A2 (PLA2). Indeed, higher levels of calcium-independent PLA2 activity are measured in the cytosols of the CHO cells that overexpress CT, compared to parental CHO cells. The elevated calcium-independent PLA2 activity is associated with increases in the expression of the 80-kDa calcium-independent PLA2 (iPLA2). Together, these data suggest that the 80-kDa iPLA2 may be modulated in response to changes in PtdCho levels and therefore is involved in the regulation of PtdCho homeostasis in CHO cells.

Abstract
Insulin reportedly (Standaert, M. L., Avignon, A., Yamada, K., Bandyopadhyay, G., and Farese, R. V. (1996) Biochem. J. 313, 1039-1046) activates phospholipase D (PLD)-dependent hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine (PC) in plasma membranes of rat adipocytes by a mechanism that may involve wortmannin-sensitive phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase. Because Rho and ADP ribosylation factor (ARF) activate PC-PLD, we questioned whether these small G-proteins are regulated by insulin and PI 3-kinase. We found that insulin provoked a rapid translocation of both Rho and ARF to the plasma membrane and increased GTP loading of Rho. Wortmannin and LY294002 inhibited Rho translocation in intact adipocytes, and the polyphosphoinositide, PI 4,5-(PO4)2, stimulated Rho translocation in adipocyte homogenates. On the other hand, wortmannin did not block GTP loading of Rho. Guanosine 5'-3-O-(thio)triphosphate stimulated both Rho and ARF translocation and activated PC-PLD in homogenates. C3 transferase, which inhibits and depletes Rho, inhibited PC-PLD activation by insulin in intact adipocytes. C3 transferase also inhibited insulin stimulation of [3H]2-deoxyglucose uptake. Our findings suggest that: (a) insulin translocates Rho by a PI 3-kinase-dependent mechanism, but another factor is responsible for GTP loading of Rho; (b) both Rho and ARF may contribute to PC-PLD activation during insulin action; and (c) Rho may be required for insulin stimulation of glucose transport.

Abstract
Binding of insulin to its receptor triggers multiple cellular responses, including changes in metabolism and in gene expression, resulting from the activation of multiple signalling pathways. Pertussis toxin has been shown to block an insulin-stimulated phospholipase C, resulting in an inhibition of the synthesis of phospholipid second messengers by insulin. In the present study, we investigated the significance of this pathway for the induction of growth-related genes by insulin treatment of H35 hepatoma cells. We found that pertussis toxin dramatically inhibits the induction of c-fos mRNA by insulin. Although c-jun and ornithine decarboxylase induction were also inhibited by pertussis toxin, they were much less sensitive than c-fos. These results indicate an important for lipid second messengers in mitogenic signalling by insulin and further demonstrate distinct roles for this pathway in the induction of c-fos and c-jun.

Abstract
Initial studies suggested that insulin increases diacylglycerol and activates protein kinase C (PKC) in BC3H-1 myocytes. In these earlier studies, insulin was found to translocate PKC-beta, but the presence of PKC-epsilon was not appreciated. More recently, the presence of PKC-epsilon was documented, but PKC-beta was not detected, and it was questioned whether insulin activates PKC in BC3H-1 myocytes [Stumpo, D.J., Haupt, D.M. and Blackshear, P.J. (1994) J. Biol. Chem. 269:21184-21190]. We questioned whether insulin translocates PKC-epsilon in BC3H-1 myocytes, and re-evaluated the question of whether myocytes truly contain a PKC-beta isoform whose existence can be verified by its response to phorbol ester treatment. We found that PKC-epsilon was acutely translocated by insulin and phorbol esters from the cytosol to the membrane fraction in BC3H-1 myocytes; in addition, PKC-epsilon, like PKC-alpha, was depleted by chronic phorbol ester treatment. We also found that BC3H-1 myocytes containing a 76,000 Mr PKC-beta isoform that is acutely translocated and subsequently depleted by phorbol esters. Moreover, chronic phorbol ester treatment induced an 84,000 Mr PKC-beta 2 isoform that appeared to be persistently translocated and activated, as suggested by studies of myristoylated arginic-rich C kinase substrate (MARCKS) phosphorylation. We conclude that: (1) insulin acutely translocates PKC-epsilon, as well as PKC-beta, in BC3H-1 myocytes; and (2) PKC-beta is not truly downregulated by phorbol esters in BC3H-1 myocytes.

Abstract
There is increased interest in physiological functions and mechanisms of action of sphingolipids metabolites, ceramide, sphingosine, and sphingosine-1-phosphate (SPP), members of a new class of lipid second messengers. This review summarizes current knowledge regarding the role of these sphingolipids metabolites in the actions of growth factors and focuses on the second messenger roles of sphingosine and its metabolite, SPP, in the regulation of cell growth. We also discuss possible interactions with intermediates of the well known glycerophospholipid cycle. Sphingosine and SPP generally provide positive mitogenic signals whereas ceramide has been reported to induce apoptosis and cell arrest in several mammalian cell lines. Stimulation of phospholipase D leading to an increase in phosphatidic acid, a positive regulator of cell growth, by sphingosine and SPP, and its inhibition by ceramide, might be related to their opposite effects on cell growth. This also indicates that sphingolipid turnover could regulate the diacylglycerol cycle. Cross-talk between sphingolipid turnover pathways and the diacylglycerol cycle increases complexity of signaling pathways leading to cellular proliferation and adds additional sites of regulation.

Abstract
We questioned whether phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) and protein kinase C (PKC) function as interrelated signalling mechanisms during insulin action in rat adipocytes. Insulin rapidly activated a phospholipase D that hydrolyses phosphatidylcholine (PC), and this activation was accompanied by increases in diacylglycerol and translocative activation of PKC-alpha and PKC-beta in the plasma membrane. Wortmannin, an apparently specific PI 3-kinase inhibitor, inhibited insulin-stimulated, phospholipase D-dependent PC hydrolysis and subsequent translocation of PKC-alpha and PKC-beta to the plasma membrane. Wortmannin did not inhibit PKC directly in vitro, or the PKC-dependent effects of phorbol esters on glucose transport in intact adipocytes. The PKC inhibitor RO 31-8220 did not inhibit PI 3-kinase directly or its activation in situ by insulin, but inhibited both insulin-stimulated and phorbol ester-stimulated glucose transport. Our findings suggest that insulin acts through PI 3-kinase to activate a PC-specific phospholipase D and causes the translocative activation of PKC-alpha and PKC-beta in plasma membranes of rat adipocytes.

Abstract
Protein kinase C (PKC)-theta is a newly recognized major PKC isoform in skeletal muscle. In this study we found that insulin provoked rapid biphasic increases in membrane-associated immunoreactive PKC-theta, as well as PKC-alpha, PKC-beta and PKC-epsilon, in rat soleus muscles incubated in vitro. Effects of insulin on PKC isoforms in the soleus were comparable in magnitude with those of phorbol esters. Increases in membrane-associated PKC-theta, PKC-alpha, PKC-beta and PKC-epsilon were also observed in rat gastrocnemius muscles after insulin treatment in vivo. Our findings suggest that PKC-theta, like other diacylglycerol-sensitive PKC isoforms (alpha, beta and epsilon), may play a role in insulin action in skeletal muscles.

Abstract
Type II diabetic Goto-Kakizaki (GK) rats were insulin-resistant in euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp studies. We therefore examined insulin signaling systems in control Wistar and diabetic GK rats. Glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase (G3PAT), which is activated by headgroup mediators released from glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol (GPI), was activated by insulin in intact and cell-free adipocyte preparations of control, but not diabetic, rats. A specific chiro-inositol-containing inositol phosphoglycan (IPG) mediator, prepared from beef liver, bypassed this defect and comparably activated G3PAT in cell-free adipocyte preparations of both diabetic GK and control rats. A myo-inositol-containing IPG mediator did not activate G3PAT. Relative to control adipocytes, labeling of GPI by [3H]glucosamine was diminished by 50% and insulin failed to stimulate GPI hydrolysis in GK adipocytes. In contrast to GPI-dependent G3PAT activation, insulin-stimulated hexose transport was intact in adipocytes and soleus and gastrocnemius muscles of the GK rat, as was insulin-induced activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase and protein kinase C. We conclude that (i) chiro-inositol-containing IPG mediator activates G3PAT during insulin action, (ii) diabetic GK rats have a defect in synthesizing or releasing functional chiro-inositol-containing IPG, and (iii) defective IPG-regulated intracellular glucose metabolism contributes importantly to insulin resistance in diabetic GK rats.

Abstract
Pertussis toxin was used to block insulin-stimulated phosphatidylinositol (PI)-glycan hydrolysis, consequent de novo synthesis of phosphatidic acid (PA) and the diacylglycerol (DAG) production that results from these two related processes in BC3H-1 myocytes. In contrast, pertussis toxin pretreatment did not inhibit insulin-stimulated hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine (PC) which was found to be at least partly due to activation of a phospholipase D. Moreover, pertussis toxin-insensitive PC hydrolysis was accompanied by rapid biphasic increases in DAG and translocative activation of protein kinase C (PKC). Insulin-stimulated glucose transport was also insensitive to pertussis toxin pretreatment. Our findings suggest that insulin-stimulated PC hydrolysis pays an important role in DAG/PKC signalling during insulin action.

Abstract
To evaluate the question of whether or not insulin activates protein kinase C (PKC), we compared the effects of insulin and phorbol esters on the phosphorylation of the PKC substrate, i.e. myristoylated alanine-rich C-kinase substrate (MARCKS). In rat adipocytes, rat soleus muscle and BC3H-1 myocytes, maximally effective concentrations of insulin and phorbol esters provoked comparable, rapid, 2-fold (on average), non-additive increases in the phosphorylation of immunoprecipitable MARCKS. These effects of insulin and phorbol esters on MARCKS phosphorylation in intact adipocytes and soleus muscles were paralleled by similar increases in the phosphorylation of an exogenous, soluble, 85 kDa PKC substrate (apparently a MARCKS protein) during incubation of post-nuclear membrane fractions in vitro. Increases in the phosphorylation of this 85 kDa PKC substrate in vitro were also observed in assays of both plasma membranes and microsomes obtained from rat adipocytes that had been treated with insulin or phorbol esters. These insulin-induced increases in PKC-dependent phosphorylating activities of adipocyte plasma membrane and microsomes were associated with increases in membrane contents of diacylglycerol, PKC-beta 1 and PKC-beta 2. Our findings suggest that insulin both translocates and activates PKC in rat adipocytes, rat soleus muscles and BC3H-1 myocytes.

Abstract
Insulin and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) are mitogenic for murine 3T3-L1 fibroblasts. Both these mitogens acutely stimulate glucose transport by 2-4-fold in these cells, evident within minutes of agonist exposure. The tumour promoter and protein kinase C activator, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) also stimulates glucose transport by 2-3-fold over a similar time frame, suggesting that protein kinase C may be involved in the mitogenic action of insulin and PDGF in this cell line. In an attempt to address this, we have measured intracellular sn-1,2-diacylglycerol (DAG) levels in response to insulin, PDGF and PMA. We show that PDGF and PMA induce a rapid elevation in intracellular diacylglycerol levels, but insulin was without effect. In addition, we have shown that PMA and PDGF, but not insulin, stimulate protein kinase C activity. However, depletion of protein kinase C by overnight exposure to PMA, abolished PMA-stimulated glucose transport but had no effect on insulin- and PDGF-stimulated glucose transport, suggesting that the stimulation of glucose transport by these mitogens does not involve protein kinase C. The use of the selective protein kinase C inhibitor, Roche 31-8220, which inhibited PMA-stimulated glucose transport, but was without effect on insulin- and PDGF-stimulated glucose transport further supports this conclusion. Taken together, these data argue against a role for protein kinase C in the stimulation of glucose transport in 3T3-L1 fibroblasts caused by acute exposure to insulin or PDGF.
