Abstract
In pituitary cells, internalized somatostatin receptor is held in a GLUT4-like storage compartment. The receptor rapidly resurfaces in response to selective signaling pathways in a process that fine-tunes pituitary hormone release. The surfacing of the glucose transporter GLUT4 driven by insulin receptor activation provides the prototypic example of a homeostasis response dependent on mobilization of an intracellular storage compartment. Here, we generalize this concept to a G protein–coupled receptor, somatostatin receptor subtype 2 (SSTR2), in pituitary cells. Following internalization in corticotropes, SSTR2 moves to a juxtanuclear syntaxin-6–positive compartment, where it remains until the corticotropes are stimulated with corticotropin releasing factor (CRF), whereupon SSTR2 exits the compartment on syntaxin-6–positive vesicular/tubular carriers that depend on Rab10 for their fusion with the plasma membrane. As SSTR2 activation antagonizes CRF-mediated hormone release, this storage/resurfacing mechanism may allow for a physiological homeostatic feedback system. In fact, we find that SSTR2 moves from an intracellular compartment to the cell surface in pituitary gland somatotropes, concomitant with increasing levels of serum growth hormone (GH) during natural GH cycles. Our data thus provide a mechanism by which signaling-mediated plasma membrane resurfacing of SSTR2 can fine-tune pituitary hormone release.

Abstract
Our earlier studies proposed a radically new idea suggesting interdependency between TNF-α/TNFR1 and IL-1β/IL-1R pathways in modulation of Staphylococcus aureus-induced CXCL8/CXCR1 axis. However, the effects of inhibition of cytokine receptor mobilization at intracellular level and surface TNFR1 and IL-1R shedding on S. aureus-induced CXCR1 expression have not been studied so far in peritoneal macrophages. This study aimed to investigate the role of inhibition of receptor mobilization from the intracellular pool (using brefeldin A) and surface receptor shedding (using TAPI-1) on CXCR1 expression during dual receptor (TNFR1 plus IL-1R) neutralization in peritoneal macrophages isolated from wild-type Swiss Albino mice. Release of superoxide anion, nitric oxide, and hydrogen peroxide was measured and cytokine production was done by ELISA. Expression of surface receptors (TNFR1, IL-1R, and CXCR1) and inflammatory mediators was studied by Western blot. It was observed that S. aureus-infected macrophages showed elevated ROS production, secretion of TNF-α, IL-1β, and CXCL8, along with increased expression of surface receptors (TNFR1, IL-1R, and CXCR1), and inflammatory markers (iNOS and COX-2) compared with control or treated groups (p < 0.05). However, prior treatment of macrophages with BFA or TAPI-1 in the presence of anti-TNFR1 antibody and IRAP during S. aureus infection showed significant reduction of all these parameters (p < 0.05). We can conclude that targeting of TNFR1 and IL-1R (with major focus on surface expression study) either through blockage of intracellular receptor trafficking pathway or via surface receptor shedding diminishes TNFR1/IL-1R interaction and consequently downregulates CXCR1 expression along with inflammatory signalling pathways during bacterial infections.

Abstract
Brefeldin A (BFA) is a fungal metabolite best known for its ability to inhibit activation of ADP-ribosylation factor (Arf) and thereby inhibit secretory traffic. BFA also appears to regulate the trafficking of the GLUT4 glucose transporter by inducing its relocation from intracellular stores to the cell surface. Such redistribution of GLUT4 is normally regulated by insulin-mediated signaling. Hence, we tested whether BFA may intersect with the insulin pathway. We report that BFA causes the activation of the insulin receptor (IR), IRS-1, Akt-2, and AS160 components of the insulin pathway. The response is mediated through phosphoinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) and Akt kinase since the PI3K inhibitor wortmannin and the Akt inhibitors MK2206 and perifosine inhibit the BFA effect. BFA-mediated activation of the insulin pathway results in Akt-mediated phosphorylation of the insulin-responsive transcription factor FoxO1. This leads to nuclear exclusion of FoxO1 and a decrease in transcription of the insulin-responsive gene SIRT-1. Our findings suggest novel effects for BFA in signaling and transcription, and imply that BFA has multiple intracellular targets and can be used to regulate diverse cellular responses that include vesicular trafficking, signaling and transcription.

Abstract
A study was performed to characterize the effects of dexamethasone (DEX) and insulin administration on gene expression of glucose transporters (GLUT) in chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) skeletal muscles and in cultured embryonic myoblasts. Three groups of 1-wk-old male chickens were randomly subjected to one of the following treatments for 7 d: DEX (a subcutaneous injection of 1 mg/kg BW, twice daily at 0800 h and 2000 h), controls (injected with saline), and pair-fed controls (restricted to the same feed intake as for the DEX treatment). Expressions of GLUT-1, GLUT-3, GLUT-8, and 18S rRNA mRNA were determined by quantitative reverse transcription PCR in the pectoralis major (PM) and biceps femoris (BF) muscles. Using chicken embryonic myoblasts (CEM), the interaction between DEX (200 nM) and insulin (100 nM) administration was evaluated on GLUT gene and GLUT-1 protein expressions and 2-deoxy-D-[1, 2-(3)H]-glucose (2-DG) uptake. Myoblasts were incubated with serum-free medium for 3 h in the presence or absence of insulin (0, 0.02, 0.1, 0.5, and 2.5 μM). Although GLUT-1 is not considered an insulin-responsive GLUT in mammals, this study shows that insulin stimulated 2-DG uptake and GLUT-1 mRNA and protein expression in CEM (P < 0.0001), suggesting that both are regulated in chicken skeletal muscle. Dexamethasone inhibited insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in CEM (P < 0.0001), likely accounting for insulin resistance in skeletal muscles. The results of the present study indicate that the altered GLUT-1 gene and protein expression may contribute to the insulin resistance induced by DEX treatment in chicken muscles.

Subcellular trafficking of the substrate transporters GLUT4 and CD36 in cardiomyocytes. Cell Mol Life Sci 2011; 68:2525-38.

Abstract
Cardiomyocytes use glucose as well as fatty acids for ATP production. These substrates are transported into the cell by glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) and the fatty acid transporter CD36. Besides being located at the sarcolemma, GLUT4 and CD36 are stored in intracellular compartments. Raised plasma insulin concentrations and increased cardiac work will stimulate GLUT4 as well as CD36 to translocate to the sarcolemma. As so far studied, signaling pathways that regulate GLUT4 translocation similarly affect CD36 translocation. During the development of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes, CD36 becomes permanently localized at the sarcolemma, whereas GLUT4 internalizes. This juxtaposed positioning of GLUT4 and CD36 is important for aberrant substrate uptake in the diabetic heart: chronically increased fatty acid uptake at the expense of glucose. To explain the differences in subcellular localization of GLUT4 and CD36 in type 2 diabetes, recent research has focused on the role of proteins involved in trafficking of cargo between subcellular compartments. Several of these proteins appear to be similarly involved in both GLUT4 and CD36 translocation. Others, however, have different roles in either GLUT4 or CD36 translocation. These trafficking components, which are differently involved in GLUT4 or CD36 translocation, may be considered novel targets for the development of therapies to restore the imbalanced substrate utilization that occurs in obesity, insulin resistance and diabetic cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
Insulin stimulates GLUT4 (glucose transporter 4) translocation in adipocytes and muscles. An emerging picture is that Rab10 could bridge the gap between the insulin signalling cascade and GLUT4 translocation in adipocytes. In the present study, two potential effectors of Rab10, GDI (guanine-nucleotide-dissociation inhibitor)-1 and GDI-2, are characterized in respect to their roles in insulin-stimulated GLUT4 translocation. It is shown that both GDI-1 and GDI-2 exhibit similar distribution to GLUT4 and Rab10 at the TGN (trans-Golgi network) and periphery structures. Meanwhile, GDI-1 clearly interacts with Rab10 with higher affinity, as shown by both immunoprecipitation and in vivo FRET (fluorescence resonance energy transfer). In addition, the participation of GDIs in GLUT4 translocation is illustrated when overexpression of either GDI inhibits insulin-stimulated GLUT4 translocation in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Taken together, we propose that GDI-1 is preferentially involved in insulin-stimulated GLUT4 translocation through facilitating Rab10 recycling.

Abstract
We evaluated the effects of stress as mimicked by corticosterone (CORT) administration on the uptake of glucose by skeletal muscles (M. fibularis longus) in broiler chickens (Gallus gallus domesticus). The results showed that both chronic (7 d) and short-term (3 h) CORT administration resulted in hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia. Plasma level of nitric oxide (NO) and the activity of NO synthase (NOS) were both suppressed by either chronic or acute stress. In vivo CORT treatment could stimulate the in vitro uptake of 2-deoxy-D-[1,2-3H]-glucose (2-DG). Sodium nitroprusside (SNP) administration improved the in vitro uptake of 2-DG in both CORT and control groups. In CORT treatment, however, the stimulating effect of NO on 2-DG uptake was relatively lower compared to control group, whereas it was restored by insulin. Insulin stimulated muscle in vitro 2-DG uptake in either control or CORT group, with the improvement being significantly higher in control chickens. The results indicated that the reduced circulating and muscle level of NO level via the suppression of NOS by corticosterone treatment was involved in the stress-induced insulin resistance. It appears that CORT could suppress the insulin stimulated glucose uptake in skeletal muscle, inducing insulin resistance in broiler chickens. We conclude that NO could stimulate glucose transport in chicken skeletal muscle and that the reduced circulating and muscle level of NO is involved in the insulin resistance induced by corticosterone treatment.

Abstract
Insulin recruits two transmembrane proteins, GLUT4 and IRAP, to the plasma membrane of muscle cells and adipocytes. The subcellular trafficking and localization of GLUT4, and to a lesser extent IRAP, have been intensely studied, yet the molecular mechanisms responsible for their insulin-responsive compartmentalization remain unknown. Herein we have investigated the endocytosis and recycling of IRAP from the cell surface back to the insulin-responsive compartment (IRC). Our results show that a key dileucine motif at position 76,77 (LL76,77), although required for the initial biosynthetic entry of IRAP into the IRC, is dispensable for entry into the IRC via the endosomal system. Indeed, we found that an AA76,77 mutant of IRAP is fully capable of undergoing endocytosis and is correctly routed back to the IRC. To verify that the AA76,77 mutant enters the bona fide IRC, we show that the internalized IRAP-AA76,77 construct is sequestered in an IRC that is insensitive to brefeldin A yet sensitive to a dominant-interfering mutant of AS160 (AS160-4P). In addition, we show that the GGA clathrin adaptors are not required for the re-entry of IRAP from the cell surface back into the IRC, whereas the Q-SNARE syntaxin 6 is required for this process.

Abstract
There is increasing evidence that endogenous nitric oxide (NO) influences adipogenesis, lipolysis and insulin-stimulated glucose uptake. We investigated the effect of NO released from S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) and S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine (SNAP) on basal and insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in adipocytes of normoglycaemic and streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. GSNO and SNAP at 0.2,0.5, and 1 mM brought about a concentration-dependent increase in basal and insulin-stimulated 2-deoxyglucose uptake in adipocytes of normoglycaemic and STZ-induced diabetic rats. SNAP at 1.0 mM significantly elevated basal 2-deoxyglucose uptake (115.8+/-10.4% compared with GSNO at the same concentration (116.1+/-9.4%; P less than 0.05) in STZ-induced diabetic rats. Conversely, SNAP at concentrations of 10 mM and 20 mM significantly decreased basal 2-deoxyglucose uptake by 50.0+/-4.5% and 61.5+/-7.2% respectively in adipocytes of STZ-induced diabetic rats (P less than 0.05). GSNO at concentrations of 10 mM and 20 mM also significantly decreased basal 2-deoxyglucose uptake by 50.8+/-6.4% and 55.2+/-7.8% respectively in adipocytes of STZ-induced diabetic rats (P less than 0.05). These observations indicate that NO released from GSNO and SNAP at 1 mM or less stimulates basal and insulin-stimulated glucose uptake,and at concentrations of 10 mM and 20 mM inhibits basal glucose uptake. The additive effect of GSNO or SNAP, and insulin observed in this study could be due to different mechanisms and warrants further investigation.

Abstract
To examine the acquisition of insulin sensitivity after the initial biosynthesis of the insulin-responsive aminopeptidase (IRAP), 3T3-L1 adipocytes were transfected with an enhanced green fluorescent protein-IRAP (EGFP-IRAP) fusion protein. In the absence of insulin, IRAP was rapidly localized (1-3 h) to secretory membranes and retained in these intracellular membrane compartments with little accumulation at the plasma membrane. However, insulin was unable to induce translocation to the plasma membrane until 6-9 h after biosynthesis. This was in marked contrast to another type II membrane protein (syntaxin 3) that rapidly defaulted to the plasma membrane 3 h after expression. In parallel with the time-dependent acquisition of insulin responsiveness, the newly synthesized IRAP protein converted from a brefeldin A-sensitive to a brefeldin A-insensitive state. The initial trafficking of IRAP to the insulin-responsive compartment was independent of plasma membrane endocytosis, as expression of a dominant-interfering dynamin mutant (Dyn/K44A) inhibited transferrin receptor endocytosis but had no effect on the insulin-stimulated translocation of the newly synthesized IRAP protein.

Abstract
Insulin-stimulated glucose uptake involves the recruitment of the glucose transporter 4 isoform (GLUT4) from an intracellular location to the plasma membrane of fat and muscle cells. Although the activation of the PI3-kinase/protein kinase B (PKB) pathway is central to this effect of insulin, the key substrates for PKB that are involved require identification. Here we report that serine318 on the FYVE domain-containing PtdIns(3)P 5-kinase (PIKfyve) is a novel substrate for PKB, and show that phosphorylation stimulates the PtdIns(3)P 5-kinase activity of the enzyme. We also demonstrate that PIKfyve is phosphorylated on serine318 in intact cells in response to insulin, in a PI3-kinase-dependent manner, and that PIKfyve colocalises with a highly motile subpopulation of insulin-regulated aminopeptidase (IRAP)/GLUT4 vesicles. Finally, we demonstrate that overexpression of a PIKfyve[S318A] mutant in 3T3-L1 adipocytes enhances insulin-stimulated IRAP/GLUT4 vesicle translocation to the plasma membrane suggesting a role for PKB-dependent phosphorylation of PIKfyve in insulin-regulated IRAP/GLUT4 trafficking. The phosphorylation and activation of PIKfyve by PKB provides a novel signalling paradigm that may link plasma membrane-localised PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 signals via a protein kinase cascade to regulated PtdIns(3,5)P2 production, and thereby to the control of trafficking of other membrane cargos.

Abstract
Insulin enhances plasmalemmal-directed traffic of glucose transporter-4 (GLUT4), but it is unknown whether insulin regulates GLUT4 traffic through endosomal compartments. In L6 myoblasts expressing Myc-tagged GLUT4, insulin markedly stimulated the rate of GLUT4myc recycling. In myoblasts stimulated with insulin to maximize surface GLUT4myc levels, we followed the rates of surface-labeled GLUT4myc endocytosis and chased its intracellular distribution in space and time using confocal immunofluorescence microscopy. Surface-labeled GLUT4myc internalized rapidly (t(12) 3 min), reaching the early endosome by 2 min and the transferrin receptor-rich, perinuclear recycling endosome by 20 min. Upon re-addition of insulin, the t(12) of GLUT4 disappearance from the plasma membrane was unchanged (3 min), but strikingly, GLUT4myc reached the recycling endosome by 10 and left by 20 min. This effect of insulin was blocked by the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitor LY294002 or by transiently transfected dominant-negative phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and protein kinase B mutants. In contrast, insulin did not alter the rate of arrival of rhodamine-labeled transferrin at the recycling endosome. These results reveal a heretofore unknown effect of insulin to accelerate inter-endosomal travel rates of GLUT4 and identify the recycling endosome as an obligatory stage in insulin-dependent GLUT4 recycling.

Abstract
GLUT4 is a mammalian facilitative glucose transporter that is highly expressed in adipose tissue and striated muscle. In response to insulin, GLUT4 moves from intracellular storage areas to the plasma membrane, thus increasing cellular glucose uptake. While the verification of this 'translocation hypothesis' (Cushman SW, Wardzala LJ. J Biol Chem 1980;255: 4758-4762 and Suzuki K, Kono T. Proc Natl Acad Sci 1980;77: 2542-2545) has increased our understanding of insulin-regulated glucose transport, a number of fundamental questions remain unanswered. Where is GLUT4 stored within the basal cell? How does GLUT4 move to the cell surface and what mechanism does insulin employ to accelerate this process? Ultimately we require a convergence of trafficking studies with research in signal transduction. However, despite more than 30 years of intensive research we have still not reached this point. The problem is complex, involving at least two separate signal transduction pathways which feed into what appears to be a very dynamic sorting process. Below we discuss some of these complexities and highlight new data that are bringing us closer to the resolution of these questions.

Abstract
An increase in transmitter release accompanying long-term sensitization and facilitation occurs at the glutamatergic sensorimotor synapse of Aplysia. We report that a long-term increase in neuronal Glu uptake also accompanies long-term sensitization. Synaptosomes from pleural-pedal ganglia exhibited sodium-dependent, high-affinity Glu transport. Different treatments that induce long-term enhancement of the siphon-withdrawal reflex, or long-term synaptic facilitation increased Glu uptake. Moreover, 5-hydroxytryptamine, a treatment that induces long-term facilitation, also produced a long-term increase in Glu uptake in cultures of sensory neurons. The mechanism for the increase in uptake is an increase in the V(max) of transport. The long-term increase in Glu uptake appeared to be dependent on mRNA and protein synthesis, and transport through the Golgi, because 5,6-dichlorobenzimidazole riboside, emetine, and brefeldin A inhibited the increase in Glu uptake. Also, injection of emetine and 5,6-dichlorobenzimidazole into Aplysia prevented long-term sensitization. Synthesis of Glu itself may be regulated during long-term sensitization because the same treatments that produced an increase in Glu uptake also produced a parallel increase in Gln uptake. These results suggest that coordinated regulation of a number of different processes may be required to establish or maintain long-term synaptic facilitation.

Abstract
The facilitative glucose transporter, GLUT4 undergoes insulin-dependent movement to the cell surface in adipocytes. The magnitude of the insulin effect is much greater for GLUT4 than other recycling proteins such as the CD-MPR. In the present study we have studied the colocalisation of these proteins in adipocytes in an effort to explain this selective insulin-dependent recruitment of GLUT4. Using immunofluorescence microscopy or immuno-EM on 3T3-L1 adipocytes we find that there is considerable colocalisation between these proteins particularly within the area of the TGN. However, the distribution of CD-MPR was not significantly effected by insulin. The insulin-dependent recruitment of GLUT4 was concomitant with a selective decrease in GLUT4 labelling of cytoplasmic vesicles whereas the amount of GLUT4 in the TGN region (approx. 50% of total GLUT4) was relatively unaffected. To explore the possibility that the cytoplasmic GLUT4(+) vesicles represent an intracellular insulin-responsive storage compartment we performed quantitative immuno-EM on whole mounts of intracellular vesicles isolated from basal and insulin-stimulated adipocytes. These studies revealed that: (1) GLUT4 and CD-MPR were concentrated in small (30-200 nm) vesicles at a labelling density of 1–20+ gold particles/vesicle; (2) there was significant overlap between both proteins in that 70% of the total GLUT4 pool colocalised with CD-MPR; (3) a significant amount of GLUT4 (approx. 50% of total) was found in a subpopulation of vesicles that contained as little as 5% of the total CD-MPR pool; (4) the GLUT4(+)/CD-MPR(-) vesicles were highly insulin-responsive, and (5) the total number of GLUT4(+) vesicles, but not CD-MPR(+) vesicles, decreased by approx. 30% in response to insulin treatment. These data are consistent with a model in which GLUT4 is selectively sorted into a vesicular compartment in adipocytes that is recruited to the plasma membrane by insulin stimulation.

Abstract
Insulin stimulates translocation of GLUT4 from an intracellular compartment to the plasma membrane in adipocytes. As a significant amount of GLUT4 is localised to the TGN, independently of the biosynthetic pathway, one possibility is that trafficking via the TGN is important in either intracellular sequestration or insulin-dependent movement to the cell surface. In this study we have used immuno-electron microscopy to show that GLUT4 is localised to AP-1 vesicles in the TGN region in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. To dissect the role of this trafficking pathway we used brefeldin A (BFA) to disrupt AP-1 association with membranes. Despite a reorganisation of GLUT4 compartments following BFA treatment, the intracellular sequestration of GLUT4, and its insulin-dependent movement to the cell surface, was unaffected. BFA increased the half time of reversal of insulin-stimulated glucose transport from 17 to 30 min but did not prevent complete reversal. Furthermore, following reversal restimulation of glucose transport activity by insulin was not compromised. We conclude that under basal conditions GLUT4 cycles between the TGN and endosomes via the AP-1 pathway. However, neither this pathway, nor any other BFA-sensitive pathway, appears to play a major role in insulin-dependent recruitment of GLUT4 to the cell surface.

Abstract
In cultured bovine adrenal chromaffin cells, our [3H]saxitoxin ([3H]STX) binding, immunoblot, and northern blot analyses specified protein kinase C (PKC) isoform-specific posttranscriptional and posttranslational mechanisms that direct down-regulation of cell surface Na channels. Immunoblot analysis showed that among 11 PKC isoforms, adrenal chromaffin cells contained only conventional (c)PKC-alpha, novel (n)PKC-epsilon, and atypical (a)PKC-zeta. Treatment of adrenal chromaffin cells with 100 nM 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) or 100 nM phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDBu) caused a rapid (<15 min) and sustained (>15 h) translocation of PKC-alpha and -epsilon (but not -zeta) from cytosol to membranes, whereas a biologically inactive 4alpha-TPA had no effect. Thymeleatoxin (TMX), an activator of cPKC, produced similar membrane association of only PKC-alpha at 100 nM, with the potency of TMX being comparable with those of TPA and PDBu. Treatment with either 100 nM TPA or 100 nM TMX reduced cell surface [3H]STX binding to a comparable extent at 3, 6, and 12 h, whereas TPA lowered the binding to a greater extent than TMX at 15, 18, and 24 h; at 15 h, Gö6976, a specific inhibitor of cPKC, completely blocked TMX-induced decrease of [3H]STX binding while preventing by merely 57% TPA-induced decrease of [3H]STX binding. Treatment with 100 nM TPA lowered the Na channel alpha-subunit mRNA level between 3 and 12 h, with its maximum 52% fall at 6 h, and it was accompanied by a subsequent 61 % rise of the beta1-subunit mRNA level at 24 h. Gö6976 failed to prevent TPA-induced reduction of the alpha-subunit mRNA level; TMX did not change the alpha- and beta1-subunit mRNA levels throughout the 24-h treatment. Brefeldin A, an inhibitor of vesicular exit from the trans-Golgi network, augmented TPA- and TMX-induced decrease of [3H]STX binding at 1 and 3 h. Our previous and present studies suggest that PKC down-regulates cell surface Na channels without altering the allosteric gating of Na channels via PKC isoform-specific mechanisms; cPKC-alpha promotes Na channel internalization, whereas nPKC-epsilon decreases the alpha-subunit mRNA level by shortening the half-life of alpha-subunit mRNA without changing its gene transcription.

Abstract
Nycodenz gradients have been used to examine the in vitro effects of GTP-(gamma)-S on adaptor complex association with GLUT4 vesicles. On addition of GTP-(gamma)-S, GLUT4 fractionates as a heavier population of vesicles, which we suggest is due to a budding or coating reaction. Under these conditions there is an increase in co-sedimentation of GLUT4 with AP1, but not with AP3. Western blotting of proteins associated with isolated GLUT4 vesicles shows the presence of high levels of AP1 and some AP3 but very little AP2 adaptor complexes. Cell free, in vitro association of the AP1 complex with GLUT4 vesicles is increased approximately 4-fold by the addition of GTP-(gamma)-S and an ATP regenerating system. Following GTP-(gamma)-S treatment in vitro, ARF is also recruited to GLUT4 vesicles, and the temperature dependence of ARF recruitment closely parallels that of AP1. The recruitment of both AP1 and ARF are partially blocked by brefeldin A. These data demonstrate that the coating of GLUT4 vesicles can be studied in isolated cell-free fractions. Furthermore, at least two distinct adaptor complexes can associate with the GLUT4 vesicles and it is likely that these adaptors are involved in mediating distinct intracellular sorting events at the level of TGN and endosomes.

Abstract
ADP-ribosylation factor 6 (ARF6) appears to play an essential role in the endocytic/recycling pathway in several cell types. To determine whether ARF6 is involved in insulin-regulated exocytosis, 3T3-L1 adipocytes were infected with recombinant adenovirus expressing wild-type ARF6 or an ARF6 dominant negative mutant (D125N) that encodes a protein with nucleotide specificity modified from guanine to xanthine. Overexpression of these ARF6 proteins affected neither basal nor insulin-regulated glucose uptake in 3T3-L1 adipocytes, nor did it affect the subcellular distribution of Glut1 or Glut4. In contrast, the secretion of adipsin, a serine protease specifically expressed in adipocytes, was increased by the expression of wild-type ARF6 and was inhibited by the expression of D125N. These results indicate a requirement for ARF6 in basal and insulin-regulated adipsin secretion but not in glucose transport. Our results suggest the existence of at least two distinct pathways that undergo insulin-stimulated exocytosis in 3T3-L1 adipocytes, one for adipsin release and one for glucose transporter translocation.

Abstract
Insulin modulates many intracellular processes including cellular metabolism, cell proliferation and cell differentiation. Some of these processes involve significant changes in the traffic of intracellular vesicles or in the structural organization of the cell. These phenomena have been linked to the activity of regulatory GTP-binding proteins. Most, if not all functions, of the insulin receptor are associated with its tyrosine kinase activity. Thus, over the past few years, a significant effort has been dedicated to elucidate the cross-talk between the tyrosine kinase activity of the receptor and the regulation of G protein-mediated pathways. Recent progress indicates that G proteins may mediate the control of several of insulin's intracellular functions. These include the regulation of the MAP kinase pathway, the activation of phospholipase D and the regulation of glucose uptake. This article discusses some recent advances in this area.

Abstract
In recent years, there have been major advances in the understanding of both the cell biology of vesicle trafficking between intracellular compartments and the molecular targeting signals intrinsic to the trafficking proteins themselves. One system to which these advances have been profitably applied is the regulation of the trafficking of a glucose transporter, GLUT4, from intracellular compartment(s) to the cell surface in response to insulin. The unique nature of the trafficking of GLUT4 and its expression in highly differentiated cells makes this a question of considerable interest to cell biologists. Unraveling the tangled web of molecular events coordinating GLUT4 trafficking will eventually lead to a greater understanding of mammalian glucose metabolism, as well as fundamental cell biological principles related to organelle biogenesis and protein trafficking.

Abstract
To study the role of the GTPase dynamin in GLUT4 intracellular recycling, we have overexpressed dynamin-1 wild type and a GTPase-negative mutant (K44A) in primary rat adipose cells. Transfection was accomplished by electroporation using an hemagglutinin (HA)-tagged GLUT4 as a reporter protein. In cells expressing HA-GLUT4 alone, insulin results in an approximately 7-fold increase in cell surface anti-HA antibody binding. Studies with wortmannin indicate that the kinetics of HA-GLUT4-trafficking parallel those of the native GLUT4 and in addition, that newly synthesized HA-GLUT4 goes to the plasma membrane before being sorted into the insulin-responsive compartments. Short term (4 h) coexpression of dynamin-K44A and HA-GLUT4 increases the amount of cell surface HA-GLUT4 in both the basal and insulin-stimulated states. Under conditions of maximal expression of dynamin-K44A (24 h), most or all of the intracellular HA-GLUT4 appears to be present on the cell surface in the basal state, and insulin has no further effect. Measurements of the kinetics of HA-GLUT4 endocytosis show that dynamin-K44A blocks internalization of the glucose transporters. In contrast, expression of dynamin wild type decreases the amount of cell surface HA-GLUT4 in both the basal and insulin-stimulated states. These data demonstrate that the endocytosis of GLUT4 is largely mediated by processes which require dynamin.

Abstract
The adipocyte is a metabolically active cell that functions to store energy for times of energy deprivation or enhanced need. Obesity is characterized by increased lipid accumulation and turnover compared with the nonobese state. Both triglyceride synthesis and lipolysis are regulated metabolic processes in the adipocyte. Current research on the metabolic activities of the human adipocyte focus on plasma triglyceride hydrolysis and uptake of fatty acids by LPL, esterification of these fatty acids, and the subsequent triglyceride breakdown by hormone-sensitive lipase in response to stimulation of adrenergic receptors. These topics are discussed in relationship to the development of obesity.
