Abstract
Among a few hundred mycotoxins, aflatoxins had always posed a major threat to the world. Apart from A. flavus, A. parasiticus, and A. nomius of Aspergillus genus, which are most toxin-producing strains, several fungal bodies including Fusarium, Penicillium, and Alternaria that can biosynthesis aflatoxins. Basically, there are four different types of aflatoxins (Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), Aflatoxin B2 (AFB2), Aflatoxin G1 (AFG1), Aflatoxin G2 (AFG2)) are produced as secondary metabolites. There are certainly other types of aflatoxins found but they are the by-products of these toxins. The fungal agents generally infect the food crops during harvesting, storing, and/or transporting; making a heavy post-harvest as well as economic loss in both developed and developing countries. And while ingesting the crop products, these toxins get into the dietary system causing aflatoxicosis, liver cirrhosis, etc. Therefore, it is imperative to search for certain ways to control the spread of infections and/or production of these toxins which may also not harm the crop harvest. In this review, we are going to discuss some sustainable methods that can effectively control the spread of infection and inhibit the biosynthesis of aflatoxins.

Abstract
Blood glucose homeostasis requires proper function of pancreatic islets, which secrete insulin, glucagon, and somatostatin from the β-, α-, and δ-cells, respectively. Each islet cell type is equipped with intrinsic mechanisms for glucose sensing and secretory actions, but these intrinsic mechanisms alone cannot explain the observed secretory profiles from intact islets. Regulation of secretion involves interconnected mechanisms among and between islet cell types. Islet cells lose their normal functional signatures and secretory behaviors upon dispersal as compared to intact islets and in vivo. In dispersed islet cells, the glucose response of insulin secretion is attenuated from that seen from whole islets, coordinated oscillations in membrane potential and intracellular Ca2+ activity, as well as the two-phase insulin secretion profile, are missing, and glucagon secretion displays higher basal secretion profile and a reverse glucose-dependent response from that of intact islets. These observations highlight the critical roles of intercellular communication within the pancreatic islet, and how these communication pathways are crucial for proper hormonal and nonhormonal secretion and glucose homeostasis. Further, misregulated secretions of islet secretory products that arise from defective intercellular islet communication are implicated in diabetes. Intercellular communication within the islet environment comprises multiple mechanisms, including electrical synapses from gap junctional coupling, paracrine interactions among neighboring cells, and direct cell-to-cell contacts in the form of juxtacrine signaling. In this article, we describe the various mechanisms that contribute to proper islet function for each islet cell type and how intercellular islet communications are coordinated among the same and different islet cell types. © 2021 American Physiological Society.

Abstract
The 1921 discovery of insulin was a Big Bang from which a vast and expanding universe of research into insulin action and resistance has issued. In the intervening century, some discoveries have matured, coalescing into solid and fertile ground for clinical application; others remain incompletely investigated and scientifically controversial. Here, we attempt to synthesize this work to guide further mechanistic investigation and to inform the development of novel therapies for type 2 diabetes (T2D). The rational development of such therapies necessitates detailed knowledge of one of the key pathophysiological processes involved in T2D: insulin resistance. Understanding insulin resistance, in turn, requires knowledge of normal insulin action. In this review, both the physiology of insulin action and the pathophysiology of insulin resistance are described, focusing on three key insulin target tissues: skeletal muscle, liver, and white adipose tissue. We aim to develop an integrated physiological perspective, placing the intricate signaling effectors that carry out the cell-autonomous response to insulin in the context of the tissue-specific functions that generate the coordinated organismal response. First, in section II, the effectors and effects of direct, cell-autonomous insulin action in muscle, liver, and white adipose tissue are reviewed, beginning at the insulin receptor and working downstream. Section III considers the critical and underappreciated role of tissue crosstalk in whole body insulin action, especially the essential interaction between adipose lipolysis and hepatic gluconeogenesis. The pathophysiology of insulin resistance is then described in section IV. Special attention is given to which signaling pathways and functions become insulin resistant in the setting of chronic overnutrition, and an alternative explanation for the phenomenon of ‟selective hepatic insulin resistanceˮ is presented. Sections V, VI, and VII critically examine the evidence for and against several putative mediators of insulin resistance. Section V reviews work linking the bioactive lipids diacylglycerol, ceramide, and acylcarnitine to insulin resistance; section VI considers the impact of nutrient stresses in the endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria on insulin resistance; and section VII discusses non-cell autonomous factors proposed to induce insulin resistance, including inflammatory mediators, branched-chain amino acids, adipokines, and hepatokines. Finally, in section VIII, we propose an integrated model of insulin resistance that links these mediators to final common pathways of metabolite-driven gluconeogenesis and ectopic lipid accumulation.

Abstract
Elevated circulating fatty acids (FAs) contribute to obesity-associated metabolic complications, but the mechanisms by which insulin suppresses lipolysis are poorly understood. We show that α/β-hydrolase domain-containing 15 (ABHD15) is required for the anti-lipolytic action of insulin in white adipose tissue (WAT). Neither insulin nor glucose treatments can suppress FA mobilization in global and conditional Abhd15-knockout (KO) mice. Accordingly, insulin signaling is impaired in Abhd15-KO adipocytes, as indicated by reduced AKT phosphorylation, glucose uptake, and de novo lipogenesis. In vitro data reveal that ABHD15 associates with and stabilizes phosphodiesterase 3B (PDE3B). Accordingly, PDE3B expression is decreased in the WAT of Abhd15-KO mice, mechanistically explaining increased protein kinase A (PKA) activity, hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) phosphorylation, and undiminished FA release upon insulin signaling. Ultimately, Abhd15-KO mice develop insulin resistance. Notably, ABHD15 expression is decreased in humans with obesity and diabetes compared to humans with obesity and normal glucose tolerance, identifying ABHD15 as a potential therapeutic target to mitigate insulin resistance.

Abstract
Isoforms in the PDE3 family of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases have important roles in cyclic nucleotide-mediated signalling in cardiac myocytes. These enzymes are targeted by inhibitors used to increase contractility in patients with heart failure, with a combination of beneficial and adverse effects on clinical outcomes. This review covers relevant aspects of the molecular biology of the isoforms that have been identified in cardiac myocytes; the roles of these enzymes in modulating cAMP-mediated signalling and the processes mediated thereby; and the potential for targeting these enzymes to improve the profile of clinical responses.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a complex metabolic disease, and cardiovascular disease is a leading complication of diabetes. Epicardial adipose tissue surrounding the heart displays biochemical, thermogenic, and cardioprotective properties. However, the metabolic cross-talk between epicardial fat and the myocardium is largely unknown. This study sought to understand epicardial adipose tissue metabolism from heart failure patients with or without diabetes. We aimed to unravel possible differences in glucose and lipid metabolism between human epicardial and subcutaneous adipocytes and elucidate the potential underlying mechanisms involved in heart failure. Insulin-stimulated [(14)C]glucose uptake and isoproterenol-stimulated lipolysis were measured in isolated epicardial and subcutaneous adipocytes. The expression of genes involved in glucose and lipid metabolism was analyzed by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction in adipocytes. In addition, epicardial and subcutaneous fatty acid composition was analyzed by high-resolution proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The difference between basal and insulin conditions in glucose uptake was significantly decreased (P= 0.006) in epicardial compared with subcutaneous adipocytes. Moreover, a significant (P< 0.001) decrease in the isoproterenol-stimulated lipolysis was also observed when the two fat depots were compared, and it was strongly correlated with lipolysis, lipid storage, and inflammation-related gene expression. Moreover, the fatty acid composition of these tissues was significantly altered by diabetes. These results emphasize potential metabolic differences between both fat depots in the presence of heart failure and highlight epicardial fat as a possible therapeutic target in situ in the cardiac microenvironment.

Imbalanced insulin action in chronic over nutrition: Clinical harm, molecular mechanisms, and a way forward. Atherosclerosis 2016; 247:225-82.

Abstract
The growing worldwide prevalence of overnutrition and underexertion threatens the gains that we have made against atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and other maladies. Chronic overnutrition causes the atherometabolic syndrome, which is a cluster of seemingly unrelated health problems characterized by increased abdominal girth and body-mass index, high fasting and postprandial concentrations of cholesterol- and triglyceride-rich apoB-lipoproteins (C-TRLs), low plasma HDL levels, impaired regulation of plasma glucose concentrations, hypertension, and a significant risk of developing overt type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). In addition, individuals with this syndrome exhibit fatty liver, hypercoagulability, sympathetic overactivity, a gradually rising set-point for body adiposity, a substantially increased risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, and--crucially--hyperinsulinemia. Many lines of evidence indicate that each component of the atherometabolic syndrome arises, or is worsened by, pathway-selective insulin resistance and responsiveness (SEIRR). Individuals with SEIRR require compensatory hyperinsulinemia to control plasma glucose levels. The result is overdrive of those pathways that remain insulin-responsive, particularly ERK activation and hepatic de-novo lipogenesis (DNL), while carbohydrate regulation deteriorates. The effects are easily summarized: if hyperinsulinemia does something bad in a tissue or organ, that effect remains responsive in the atherometabolic syndrome and T2DM; and if hyperinsulinemia might do something good, that effect becomes resistant. It is a deadly imbalance in insulin action. From the standpoint of human health, it is the worst possible combination of effects. In this review, we discuss the origins of the atherometabolic syndrome in our historically unprecedented environment that only recently has become full of poorly satiating calories and incessant enticements to sit. Data are examined that indicate the magnitude of daily caloric imbalance that causes obesity. We also cover key aspects of healthy, balanced insulin action in liver, endothelium, brain, and elsewhere. Recent insights into the molecular basis and pathophysiologic harm from SEIRR in these organs are discussed. Importantly, a newly discovered oxide transport chain functions as the master regulator of the balance amongst different limbs of the insulin signaling cascade. This oxide transport chain--abbreviated 'NSAPP' after its five major proteins--fails to function properly during chronic overnutrition, resulting in this harmful pattern of SEIRR. We also review the origins of widespread, chronic overnutrition. Despite its apparent complexity, one factor stands out. A sophisticated junk food industry, aided by subsidies from willing governments, has devoted years of careful effort to promote overeating through the creation of a new class of food and drink that is low- or no-cost to the consumer, convenient, savory, calorically dense, yet weakly satiating. It is past time for the rest of us to overcome these foes of good health and solve this man-made epidemic.

Abstract
Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) plays an important role in many biological processes as a second messenger, and cAMP treatment has been reported to extend the lifespan of wild-type Drosophila melanogaster. Our study showed that exogenous cAMP improved ageing-related phenotypes by increasing the protein level of Sirtuins, which prevented metabolic disorders to mimic the effect of calorie restriction. Experiments in vitro showed that cAMP directly bound to SIRT1 and SIRT3 and consequently increased their activity. These findings suggest that cAMP slows the ageing process and is a good candidate to mimic calorie restriction. Our research provides a promising therapeutic strategy to target metabolic disorder-induced ageing-related diseases.

Abstract
Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger-1 (NCX1) is a major calcium extrusion mechanism in renal epithelial cells enabling the efflux of one Ca(2+) ion and the influx of three Na(+) ions. The gradient for this exchange activity is provided by Na,K-ATPase, a hetero-oligomer consisting of a catalytic α-subunit and a regulatory β-subunit (Na,K-β) that also functions as a motility and tumor suppressor. We showed earlier that mice with heart-specific ablation (KO) of Na,K-β had a specific reduction in NCX1 protein and were ouabain-insensitive. Here, we demonstrate that Na,K-β associates with NCX1 and regulates its localization to the cell surface. Madin-Darby canine kidney cells with Na,K-β knockdown have reduced NCX1 protein and function accompanied by 2.1-fold increase in free intracellular calcium and a corresponding increase in the rate of cell migration. Increased intracellular calcium up-regulated ERK1/2 via calmodulin-dependent activation of PI3K. Both myosin light chain kinase and Rho-associated kinase acted as mediators of ERK1/2-dependent migration. Restoring NCX1 expression in β-KD cells reduced migration rate and ERK1/2 activation, suggesting that NCX1 functions downstream of Na,K-β in regulating cell migration. In parallel, inhibition of NCX1 by KB-R7943 in Madin-Darby canine kidney cells, LLC-PK1, and human primary renal epithelial cells (HREpiC) increased ERK1/2 activation and cell migration. This increased migration was associated with high myosin light chain phosphorylation by PI3K/ERK-dependent mechanism in HREpiC cells. These data confirm the role of NCX1 activity in regulating renal epithelial cell migration.

Studies in mice showed that PDE3A, not PDE3B, is the subfamily responsible for these inotropic effects and that murine PDE3A1 associates with sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) ATPase 2 (SERCA2), phospholamban (PLB), and AKAP18 in a multiprotein signalosome in human sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). Immunohistochemical staining demonstrated that PDE3A co-localizes in Z-bands of human cardiac myocytes with desmin, SERCA2, PLB, and AKAP18. In human SR fractions, cAMP increased PLB phosphorylation and SERCA2 activity; this was potentiated by PDE3 inhibition but not by PDE4 inhibition. During gel filtration chromatography of solubilized SR membranes, PDE3 activity was recovered in distinct high molecular weight (HMW) and low molecular weight (LMW) peaks. HMW peaks contained PDE3A1 and PDE3A2, whereas LMW peaks contained PDE3A1, PDE3A2, and PDE3A3. Western blotting showed that endogenous HMW PDE3A1 was the principal PKA-phosphorylated isoform. Phosphorylation of endogenous PDE3A by rPKAc increased cAMP-hydrolytic activity, correlated with shift of PDE3A from LMW to HMW peaks, and increased co-immunoprecipitation of SERCA2, cav3, PKA regulatory subunit (PKARII), PP2A, and AKAP18 with PDE3A. In experiments with recombinant proteins, phosphorylation of recombinant human PDE3A isoforms by recombinant PKA catalytic subunit increased co-immunoprecipitation with rSERCA2 and rat rAKAP18 (recombinant AKAP18). Deletion of the recombinant human PDE3A1/PDE3A2 N terminus blocked interactions with recombinant SERCA2. Serine-to-alanine substitutions identified Ser-292/Ser-293, a site unique to human PDE3A1, as the principal site regulating its interaction with SERCA2. These results indicate that phosphorylation of human PDE3A1 at a PKA site in its unique N-terminal extension promotes its incorporation into SERCA2/AKAP18 signalosomes, where it regulates a discrete cAMP pool that controls contractility by modulating phosphorylation-dependent protein-protein interactions, PLB phosphorylation, and SERCA2 activity.

Abstract
By catalyzing hydrolysis of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases are critical regulators of their intracellular concentrations and their biological effects. As these intracellular second messengers control many cellular homeostatic processes, dysregulation of their signals and signaling pathways initiate or modulate pathophysiological pathways related to various disease states, including erectile dysfunction, pulmonary hypertension, acute refractory cardiac failure, intermittent claudication, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and psoriasis. Alterations in expression of PDEs and PDE-gene mutations (especially mutations in PDE6, PDE8B, PDE11A, and PDE4) have been implicated in various diseases and cancer pathologies. PDEs also play important role in formation and function of multimolecular signaling/regulatory complexes, called signalosomes. At specific intracellular locations, individual PDEs, together with pathway-specific signaling molecules, regulators, and effectors, are incorporated into specific signalosomes, where they facilitate and regulate compartmentalization of cyclic nucleotide signaling pathways and specific cellular functions. Currently, only a limited number of PDE inhibitors (PDE3, PDE4, PDE5 inhibitors) are used in clinical practice. Future paths to novel drug discovery include the crystal structure-based design approach, which has resulted in generation of more effective family-selective inhibitors, as well as burgeoning development of strategies to alter compartmentalized cyclic nucleotide signaling pathways by selectively targeting individual PDEs and their signalosome partners.

Abstract
NTT (N-terminal tags) on the catalytic (p110) sub-unit of PI 3-K (phosphoinositol 3-kinase) have previously been shown to increase cell signalling and oncogenic transformation. Here we test the impact of an NT (N-terminal) His-tag on in vitro lipid and protein kinase activity of all class-1 PI 3-K isoforms and two representative oncogenic mutant forms (E545K and H1047R), in order to elucidate the mechanisms behind this elevated signalling and transformation observed in vivo. Our results show that an NT His-tag has no impact on lipid kinase activity as measured by enzyme titration, kinetics and inhibitor susceptibility. Conversely, the NT His-tag did result in a differential effect on protein kinase activity, further potentiating the elevated protein kinase activity of both the helical domain and catalytic domain oncogenic mutants with relation to p110 phosphorylation. All other isoforms also showed elevated p110 phosphorylation (although not statistically significant). We conclude that the previously reported increase in cell signalling and oncogenic-like transformation in response to p110 NTT is not mediated via an increase in the lipid kinase activity of PI 3-K, but may be mediated by increased p110 autophosphorylation and/or other, as yet unidentified, intracellular protein/protein interactions. We further observe that tagged recombinant protein is suitable for use in in vitro lipid kinase screens to identify PI 3-K inhibitors; however, we recommend that in vivo (including intracellular) experiments and investigations into the protein kinase activity of PI 3-K should be conducted with untagged constructs.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the time-course of the expression of key lipolysis-regulating genes in the subcutaneous adipose tissue (SCAT) during different phases of a 6-month dietary intervention. Fifteen obese women (BMI 34.7±1.0 kg.m-2) underwent a 6-month dietary intervention consisting of 1 month very low calorie diet (VLCD), followed by 2 months low calorie diet (LCD) and 3 months weight maintenance diet (WM). At each phase of the dietary intervention, a needle microbiopsy of the abdominal SCAT was obtained to evaluate mRNA expression of key lipolysis-regulating genes and a hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp (HEC) was performed. Dietary intervention induced a body weight reduction of 9.8 % and an improvement of insulin sensitivity as assessed by a HEC. Compared to pre-diet levels, mRNA levels of the adrenergic β2-receptor in SCAT were higher at the end of VLCD and not different at the end of LCD and WM. In contrast, the expression of the adrenergic α2-receptor was lower at the end of VLCD and LCD compared to the pre-diet levels and did not differ at WM. Adipose triglyceride lipase and hormone-sensitive lipase levels were lower than the pre-diet levels at the end of LCD only, while phosphodiesterase-3B and the insulin receptor levels did not change throughout the dietary intervention. The results suggest that the regulation pattern of the genes that are involved in the control of lipolysis is different at the respective phases of the dietary intervention and depends on the duration of the diet and the status of energy balance.

Abstract
In addition to lipid kinase activity, the class-I PI 3-kinases also function as protein kinases targeting regulatory autophosphorylation sites and exogenous substrates. The latter include a recently identified regulatory phosphorylation of the GM-CSF/IL-3 βc receptor contributing to survival of acute myeloid leukaemia cells. Previous studies suggested differences in the protein kinase activity of the 4 isoforms of class-I PI 3-kinase so we compared the ability of all class-I PI 3-kinases and 2 common oncogenic mutants to autophosphorylate, and to phosphorylate an intracellular fragment of the GM-CSF/IL-3 βc receptor (βic). We find p110α, p110β and p110γ all phosphorylate βic but p110δ is much less effective. The two most common oncogenic mutants of p110α, H1047R and E545K have stronger protein kinase activity than wildtype p110α, both in terms of autophosphorylation and towards βic. Importantly, the lipid kinase activity of the oncogenic mutants is still inhibited by autophosphorylation to a similar extent as wildtype p110α. Previous evidence indicates the protein kinase activity of p110α is Mn(2+) dependent, casting doubt over its role in vivo. However, we show that the oncogenic mutants of p110α plus p110β and p110γ all display significant activity in the presence of Mg(2+). Furthermore we demonstrate that some small molecule inhibitors of p110α lipid kinase activity (PIK-75 and A66) are equally effective against the protein kinase activity, but other inhibitors (e.g. wortmannin and TGX221) show different patterns of inhibition against the lipid and protein kinases activities. These findings have implications for the function of PI 3-kinase, especially in tumours carrying p110α mutations.

Protein kinase activity of phosphoinositide 3-kinase regulates cytokine-dependent cell survival. PLoS Biol 2013; 11:e1001515.

Abstract
The protein kinase activity of PI3K phosphorylates specific serine residues in growth factor receptors to promote cell survival; these events are constitutively activated in some leukemias. The dual specificity protein/lipid kinase, phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), promotes growth factor-mediated cell survival and is frequently deregulated in cancer. However, in contrast to canonical lipid-kinase functions, the role of PI3K protein kinase activity in regulating cell survival is unknown. We have employed a novel approach to purify and pharmacologically profile protein kinases from primary human acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells that phosphorylate serine residues in the cytoplasmic portion of cytokine receptors to promote hemopoietic cell survival. We have isolated a kinase activity that is able to directly phosphorylate Ser585 in the cytoplasmic domain of the interleukin 3 (IL-3) and granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) receptors and shown it to be PI3K. Physiological concentrations of cytokine in the picomolar range were sufficient for activating the protein kinase activity of PI3K leading to Ser585 phosphorylation and hemopoietic cell survival but did not activate PI3K lipid kinase signaling or promote proliferation. Blockade of PI3K lipid signaling by expression of the pleckstrin homology of Akt1 had no significant impact on the ability of picomolar concentrations of cytokine to promote hemopoietic cell survival. Furthermore, inducible expression of a mutant form of PI3K that is defective in lipid kinase activity but retains protein kinase activity was able to promote Ser585 phosphorylation and hemopoietic cell survival in the absence of cytokine. Blockade of p110α by RNA interference or multiple independent PI3K inhibitors not only blocked Ser585 phosphorylation in cytokine-dependent cells and primary human AML blasts, but also resulted in a block in survival signaling and cell death. Our findings demonstrate a new role for the protein kinase activity of PI3K in phosphorylating the cytoplasmic tail of the GM-CSF and IL-3 receptors to selectively regulate cell survival highlighting the importance of targeting such pathways in cancer. The ability of cells to survive in the absence of proliferation (cell division), differentiation (cell maturation) or activation allows tissues to maintain cell populations that are poised for rapid responses to damage, infections, or other physiological demands. While this “survival-only” response is fundamental to all physiological processes, the underlying mechanisms are not understood. Many growth factors are potent regulators of cell survival through their ability to bind specific cell surface receptors, which in turn activate specialized enzymes called kinases. Phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) is a dual specificity kinase that is known to be involved in cell survival and malignant transformation, and it is able to phosphorylate both lipid and protein substrates. While the PI3K lipid kinase activity has been extensively studied, the functional significance of its protein kinase activity remains unclear. Here we show that PI3K protein kinase activity can directly phosphorylate growth factor receptors on human hematopoietic (blood) cells to promote a “survival-only” response. We further show that the protein kinase activity of PI3K can be hijacked to result in uncontrolled growth factor receptor phosphorylation and the deregulated survival of leukemic cells. Our studies provide the first evidence that the protein kinase activity of PI3K can control cell survival and that this activity may be deregulated in cancer.

Sahu A, Koshinaka K, Sahu M. Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase is an upstream regulator of the phosphodiesterase 3B pathway of leptin signalling that may not involve activation of Akt in the rat hypothalamus. J Neuroendocrinol 2013; 25:168-79. [PMID: 22967108 PMCID: PMC3549038 DOI: 10.1111/j.1365-2826.2012.02386.x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2012] [Revised: 08/14/2012] [Accepted: 09/08/2012] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
Leptin, the product of the obese gene, regulates energy homeostasis by acting primarily at the level of the hypothalamus. Leptin action through its receptor involves various pathways, including the signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT)3, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), and phosphodiesterase 3B (PDE3B)-cAMP signalling in the central nervous system and peripheral tissues. In the hypothalamus, leptin stimulates STAT3 activation, and induces PI3K and PDE3B activities, among others. We have previously demonstrated that PDE3B activation in the hypothalamus is critical for transducing the anorectic and body weight reducing effects of leptin. Similarly, PI3K has been implicated to play a critical role in leptin signalling in the hypothalamus. Although, in the insulin signalling pathway, PI3K is known to be an upstream regulator of PDE3B in non-neuronal tissues, it is still unknown whether this is also the case for leptin signalling in the hypothalamus. To address this possibility, the effect of wortmannin, a specific PI3K inhibitor, was examined on leptin-induced PDE3B activity in the hypothalamus of male rats. Intracerebroventricular injection of leptin (4 μg) significantly increased PDE3B activity by two-fold in the hypothalamus as expected. However, previous administration of wortmannin completely reversed the stimulatory effect of leptin on PDE3B activity in the hypothalamus. To investigate whether leptin stimulates phospho (p)-Akt levels and that there might be a possible upstream regulator of PDE3B, we examined the effects of i.c.v. leptin on p-Akt levels in the hypothalamus and compared them with the known stimulatory effect of insulin on p-Akt. We observed that insulin increased p-Akt levels but leptin failed to do so, although it increased p-STAT3 levels, in the rat hypothalamus. Immunocytochemistry confirmed the biochemical findings in that leptin failed but insulin increased the number of p-Akt positive cells in various hypothalamic nuclei. Taken together, these results implicate PI3K but not Akt as an upstream regulator of the PDE3B pathway of leptin signalling in the rat hypothalamus.

Abstract
Resveratrol, a polyphenol in red wine, has been reported as a calorie restriction mimetic with potential antiaging and antidiabetogenic properties. It is widely consumed as a nutritional supplement, but its mechanism of action remains a mystery. Here, we report that the metabolic effects of resveratrol result from competitive inhibition of cAMP-degrading phosphodiesterases, leading to elevated cAMP levels. The resulting activation of Epac1, a cAMP effector protein, increases intracellular Ca(2+) levels and activates the CamKKβ-AMPK pathway via phospholipase C and the ryanodine receptor Ca(2+)-release channel. As a consequence, resveratrol increases NAD(+) and the activity of Sirt1. Inhibiting PDE4 with rolipram reproduces all of the metabolic benefits of resveratrol, including prevention of diet-induced obesity and an increase in mitochondrial function, physical stamina, and glucose tolerance in mice. Therefore, administration of PDE4 inhibitors may also protect against and ameliorate the symptoms of metabolic diseases associated with aging.

Abstract
Objective: To elucidate the activity and expression of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (PDE) families in omental (OM) and subcutaneous (SC) adipose tissue and adipocytes, and to study alterations in their activity in human obesity. Design: Cross-sectional, translational research study. Patients: In total, 25 obese and 9 non-obese subjects undergoing gastrointestinal surgery participated in the study. Results: Inverse correlations between PDE activities and body mass index (BMI) were seen in both SC and OM adipose tissue. Inverse correlations between total PDE and PDE3 activity and BMI were seen in OM adipocytes but not in SC adipocytes. In both SC and OM adipose tissue of obese patients, total PDE and PDE3 activities were decreased compared with the controls. In SC adipose tissue of Type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients, the PDE activity not inhibitable by PDE3 or PDE4 inhibitors (PDEn) was increased compared with obese non-diabetic patients. In addition to PDE3 and 4 isoforms, PDE7B, PDE9A and PDE10A proteins were also detected in adipose tissue or adipocytes. Conclusions: Multiple PDE families are present in human adipose tissue and their activities are differentially affected by obesity and T2D.

Abstract
In non-erythroid cells, insulin stimulates a signal transduction pathway that results in the activation of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) and subsequent phosphorylation of phosphodiesterase 3 (PDE3). Erythrocytes possess insulin receptors, PI3K and PDE3B. These cells release adenosine triphosphate (ATP) when exposed to reduced O(2) tension via a signaling pathway that requires activation of the G protein, Gi, as well as increases in cAMP. Although insulin inhibits ATP release from human erythrocytes in response to Gi activation by mastoparan 7 (Mas 7), no effect on cAMP was described. Here, we investigated the hypothesis that insulin activates PDE3 in human erythrocytes via a PI3K-mediated mechanism resulting in cAMP hydrolysis and inhibition of ATP release. Incubation of human erythrocytes with Mas 7 resulted in a 62 +/- 7% increase in cAMP (n = 9, P < 0.05) and a 306 +/- 69% increase in ATP release (n = 9, P < 0.05), both of which were attenuated by pre-treatment with insulin. Selective inhibitors of PDE3 (cilostazol) or PI3K (LY294002) rescued these effects of insulin. These results support the hypothesis that insulin activates PDE3 in erythrocytes via a PI3K-dependent mechanism. Once activated, PDE3 limits Mas 7-induced increases in intracellular cAMP. This effect of insulin leads, ultimately, to decreased ATP release in response to Mas 7. Activation of Gi is required for reduced O(2) tension-induced ATP release from erythrocytes and this ATP release has been shown to participate in the matching of O(2) supply with demand in skeletal muscle. Thus, pathological increases in circulating insulin could, via activation of PDE3 in erythrocytes, inhibit ATP release from these cells, depriving the peripheral circulation of one mechanism that could aid in the regulation of the delivery of O(2) to meet tissue metabolic need.

Abstract
Triacylglycerol (TAG) stored in adipose tissue (AT) can be rapidly mobilized by the hydrolytic action of the three main lipases of the adipocyte. The non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) released are used by other tissues during times of energy deprivation. Until recently hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) was considered to be the key rate-limiting enzyme responsible for regulating TAG mobilization. A novel lipase named adipose triglyceride lipase/desnutrin (ATGL) has been identified as playing an important role in the control of fat cell lipolysis. Additionally perilipin and other proteins of the surface of the lipid droplets protecting or exposing the TAG core of the droplets to lipases are also potent regulators of lipolysis. Considerable progress has been made in understanding the mechanisms of activation of the various lipases. Lipolysis is under tight hormonal regulation. The best understood hormonal effects on AT lipolysis concern the opposing regulation by insulin and catecholamines. Heart-derived natriuretic peptides (i.e., stored in granules in the atrial and ventricle cardiomyocytes and exerting stimulating effects on diuresis and natriuresis) and numerous autocrine/paracrine factors originating from adipocytes and other cells of the stroma-vascular fraction may also participate in the regulation of lipolysis. Endocrine and autocrine/paracrine factors cooperate and lead to a fine regulation of lipolysis in adipocytes. Age, anatomical site, sex, genotype and species differences all play a part in the regulation of lipolysis. The manipulation of lipolysis has therapeutic potential in the metabolic disorders frequently associated with obesity and probably in several inborn errors of metabolism.

Abstract
Phosphodiesterases (PDEs) are important enzymes that hydrolyze the cyclic nucleotides adenosine 3'5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) and guanosine 3'5'-cyclic monophosphate (cGMP) to their inactive 5' monophosphates. They are highly conserved across species and as well as their role in signal termination, they also have a vital role in intra-cellular localization of cyclic nucleotide signaling and integration of the cyclic nucleotide pathways with other signaling pathways. Because of their pivotal role in intracellular signaling, they are now of considerable interest as therapeutic targets in a wide variety diseases, including COPD where PDE inhibitors may have bronchodilator, anti-inflammatory and pulmonary vasodilator actions. This review examines the diversity and cellular localization of the isoforms of PDE, the known and speculative relevance of this to the treatment of COPD, and the range of PDE inhibitors in development together with a discussion of their possible role in treating COPD.

Abstract
By activating two distinct classes of effector enzymes, namely Protein Kinases A [PKA] or Exchange Proteins Activated by cAMP [EPAC], the ubiquitous second messenger cAMP selectively coordinates numerous events simultaneously in virtually all cells. Studies focused on dissecting the manner by which cAMP simultaneously regulates multiple cellular events have shown that cAMP activates its effectors non-uniformly in cells and that this localized cAMP-mediated signalling is made possible, at least in part, by anchoring of cAMP effectors to selected subcellular structures. In the work described here, we report that HEK293T cells ["293T"] contain several PKA- and EPAC1-based signalling complexes. Interestingly, our data do not identify signalling complexes in which both PKA and EPAC are each present but rather are consistent with the idea that these two effectors operate in distinct complexes in these cells. Similarly, we report that while individual PKA- or EPAC-containing complexes can contain either phosphodiesterase 3B, [PDE3B] or phosphodiesterase 4D [PDE4D], they do not contain both these phosphodiesterases. Indeed, although PDE4D enzymes were identified in both PKA- and EPAC-based complexes, PDE3B was largely identified in EPAC-based complexes. Using a combination of approaches, we identified that integration of PDE3B into EPAC-based complexes occurred through its amino terminal fragment [PDE3B(AT)]. Consistent with the idea that integration of PDE3B within EPAC-based complexes was dynamic and regulated PDE3 inhibitor-mediated effects on cellular functions, expression of PDE3B(AT) competed with endogenous PDE3B for integration into EPAC-based complexes and antagonized PDE3 inhibitor-based cell adhesion. Our data support the concept that cells can contain several non-overlapping PKA- and EPAC-based signalling complexes and that these complexes may also represent sites within cells were the effects of family-selective PDE inhibitors could be integrated to affect cell functions, including adhesion.

Abstract
Fractionation of 3T3-L1 adipocyte membranes revealed that PDE3B (phosphodiesterase 3B) was associated with PM (plasma membrane) and ER (endoplasmic reticulum)/Golgi fractions, that insulin-induced phosphorylation/activation of PDE3B was greater in internal membranes than PM fractions, and that there was no significant translocation of PDE3B between membrane fractions. Insulin also induced formation of large macromolecular complexes, separated during gel filtration (Superose 6 columns) of solubilized membranes, which apparently contain phosphorylated/activated PDE3B and signalling molecules potentially involved in its activation by insulin, e.g. IRS-1 (insulin receptor substrate-1), IRS-2, PI3K p85 [p85-subunit of PI3K (phosphoinositide 3-kinase)], PKB (protein kinase B), HSP-90 (heat-shock protein 90) and 14-3-3. Expression of full-length recombinant FLAG-tagged murine (M) PDE3B and M3BDelta604 (MPDE3B lacking N-terminal 604 amino acids) indicated that the N-terminal region of MPDE3B was necessary for insulin-induced activation and recruitment of PDE3B. siRNA (small interfering RNA) knock-down of PDE3B indicated that PDE3B was not required for formation of insulin-induced complexes. Wortmannin inhibited insulin-induced assembly of macromolecular complexes, as well as phosphorylation/activation of PKB and PDE3B, and their co-immunoprecipitation. Another PI3K inhibitor, LY294002, and the tyrosine kinase inhibitor, Genistein, also inhibited insulin-induced activation of PDE3B and its co-immunoprecipitation with PKB. Confocal microscopy indicated co-localization of PDE3B and PKB. Recombinant MPDE3B co-immunoprecipitated, and co-eluted during Superose 12 chromatography, to a greater extent with recombinant pPKB (phosphorylated/activated PKB) than dephospho-PKB or p-DeltaPKB [pPKB lacking its PH domain (pleckstrin homology domain)]. Truncated recombinant MPDE3B proteins and pPKB did not efficiently co-immunoprecipitate, suggesting that structural determinants for their interaction reside in, or are regulated by, the N-terminal portion of MPDE3B. Recruitment of PDE3B in macromolecular complexes may be critical for regulation of specific cAMP pools and signalling pathways by insulin, e.g. lipolysis.

Abstract
Phosphodiesterase 3B (PDE3B) is an important component of insulin and cAMP-dependent signalling pathways. In order to study phosphorylation of PDE3B, we have used an adenoviral system to express recombinant flag-tagged PDE3B in primary rat adipocytes and H4IIE hepatoma cells. Phosphorylation of PDE3B after treatment of cells with insulin, cAMP-increasing agents, or the phosphatase inhibitor, calyculin A was analyzed by two-dimensional tryptic phosphopeptide mapping and mass spectrometry. We found that PDE3B is multisite phosphorylated in adipocytes and H4IIE hepatoma cells in response to all these stimuli. Several sites were identified; serine (S)273, S296, S421, S424/5, S474 and S536 were phosphorylated in adipocyte as well as H4IIE hepatoma cells whereas S277 and S507 were phosphorylated in hepatoma cells only. Several of the sites were phosphorylated by insulin as well as cAMP-increasing hormones indicating integration of the two signalling pathways upstream of PDE3B, maybe at the level of protein kinase B.

Abstract
Recent studies confirm that intracellular cAMP concentrations are nonuniform and that localized subcellular cAMP hydrolysis by cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (PDEs) is important in maintaining these cAMP compartments. Human phosphodiesterase 3B (HSPDE3B), a member of the PDE3 family of PDEs, represents the dominant particulate cAMP-PDE activity in many cell types, including adipocytes and cells of hematopoietic lineage. Although several previous reports have shown that phosphorylation of HSPDE3B by either protein kinase A (PKA) or protein kinase B (PKB) activates this enzyme, the mechanisms that allow cells to distinguish these two activated forms of HSPDE3B are unknown. Here we report that PKA phosphorylates HSPDE3B at several distinct sites (Ser-73, Ser-296, and Ser-318), and we show that phosphorylation of HSPDE3B at Ser-318 activates this PDE and stimulates its interaction with 14-3-3 proteins. In contrast, although PKB-catalyzed phosphorylation of HSPDE3B activates this enzyme, it does not promote 14-3-3 protein binding. Interestingly, we report that the PKA-phosphorylated, 14-3-3 protein-bound, form of HSPDE3B is protected from phosphatase-dependent dephosphorylation and inactivation. In contrast, PKA-phosphorylated HSPDE3B that is not bound to 14-3-3 proteins is readily dephosphorylated and inactivated. Our data are presented in the context that a selective interaction between PKA-activated HSPDE3B and 14-3-3 proteins represents a mechanism by which cells can protect this enzyme from deactivation. Moreover, we propose that this mechanism may allow cells to distinguish between PKA- and PKB-activated HSPDE3B.

Abstract
cGMP-inhibited cAMP phosphodiesterase 3A (PDE3A) is expressed in mouse oocytes, and its function is indispensable for meiotic maturation as demonstrated by genetic ablation. Moreover, PDE3 activity is required for insulin/insulin-like growth factor-1 stimulation of Xenopus oocyte meiotic resumption. Here, we investigated the cAMP-dependent protein kinase B (PKB)/Akt regulation of PDE3A and its impact on oocyte maturation. Cell-free incubation of recombinant mouse PDE3A with PKB/Akt or cAMP-dependent protein kinase A catalytic subunits leads to phosphorylation of the PDE3A protein. Coexpression of PDE3A with constitutively activated PKB/Akt (Myr-Akt) increases PDE activity as well as its phosphorylation state. Injection of pde3a mRNA potentiates insulin-dependent maturation of Xenopus oocytes and rescues the phenotype of pde3(-/-) mouse oocytes. This effect is greatly decreased by mutation of any of the PDE3A serines 290-292 to alanine in both Xenopus and mouse. Microinjection of myr-Akt in mouse oocytes causes in vitro meiotic maturation and this effect requires PDE3A. Collectively, these data indicate that activation of PDE3A by PKB/Akt-mediated phosphorylation plays a role in the control of PDE3A activity in mammalian oocytes.

Abstract
Caveolae, plasma membrane invaginations particularly abundant in adipocytes, have been suggested to be important in organizing insulin signalling. Insulin-induced activation of the membrane bound cAMP degrading enzyme, phosphodiesterase 3B (PDE3B) is a key step in insulin-mediated inhibition of lipolysis and is also involved in the regulation of insulin-mediated glucose uptake and lipogenesis in adipocytes. The aim of this work was to evaluate whether PDE3B is associated with caveolae. Subcellular fractionation of primary rat and mouse adipocytes demonstrated the presence of PDE3B in endoplasmic reticulum and plasma membrane fractions. The plasma membrane PDE3B was further analyzed by detergent treatment at 4 degrees C, which did not solubilize PDE3B, indicating an association of PDE3B with lipid rafts. Detergent-treated plasma membranes were studied using Superose-6 chromatography which demonstrated co-elution of PDE3B with caveolae and lipid raft markers (caveolin-1, flotillin-1 and cholesterol) at a Mw of >4000 kDa. On sucrose density gradient centrifugation of sonicated plasma membranes, a method known to enrich caveolae, PDE3B co-migrated with the caveolae markers. Immunoprecipitation of caveolin-1 using anti caveolin-1 antibodies co-immunoprecipitated PDE3B and immunoprecipitation of flag-PDE3B from adipocytes infected with a flag-PDE3B adenovirus resulted in co-immunoprecipitation of caveolin-1. Studies on adipocytes with disrupted caveolae, using either caveolin-1 deficient mice or treatment of adipocytes with methyl-beta-cyclodextrin, reduced the membrane associated PDE3B activity. Furthermore, inhibition of PDE3 in primary rat adipocytes resulted in reduced insulin stimulated glucose transporter-4 translocation to caveolae, isolated by immunoprecipitation using caveolin-1 antibodies. Thus, PDE3B, a key enzyme in insulin signalling, appears to be associated with caveolae in adipocytes and this localization seems to be functionally important.

Abstract
Cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (PDEs) are enzymes that regulate the cellular levels of the second messengers, cAMP and cGMP, by controlling their rates of degradation. There are 11 different PDE families, with each family typically having several different isoforms and splice variants. These unique PDEs differ in their three-dimensional structure, kinetic properties, modes of regulation, intracellular localization, cellular expression, and inhibitor sensitivities. Current data suggest that individual isozymes modulate distinct regulatory pathways in the cell. These properties therefore offer the opportunity for selectively targeting specific PDEs for treatment of specific disease states. The feasibility of these enzymes as drug targets is exemplified by the commercial and clinical successes of the erectile dysfunction drugs, sildenafil (Viagra), tadalafil (Cialis), and vardenafil (Levitra). PDE inhibitors are also currently available or in development for treatment of a variety of other pathological conditions. In this review the basic biochemical properties, cellular regulation, expression patterns, and physiological functions of the different PDE isoforms will be discussed. How these properties relate to the current and future development of PDE inhibitors as pharmacological agents is especially considered. PDEs hold great promise as drug targets and recent research advances make this an exciting time for the field of PDE research.

Abstract
Class I phosphoinositide 3-kinase contains four isoforms of the catalytic subunit, p110alpha, -beta, -gamma, and -delta. At physiological levels of expression, the wild-type p110alpha isoform lacks oncogenic potential, but gain-of-function mutations and overexpression of p110alpha are correlated with oncogenicity. The p110beta, -gamma, and -delta isoforms induce transformation of cultured cells as wild-type proteins. This oncogenic potential requires kinase activity and can be suppressed by the target of rapamycin inhibitor rapamycin. The p110delta isoform constitutively activates the Akt signaling pathway; p110gamma activates Akt only in the presence of serum. The isoforms differ in their requirements for upstream signaling. The transforming activity of the p110gamma isoform depends on rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (Ras) binding; preliminary data suggest the same for p110beta and indicate Ras-independent oncogenic potential of p110delta. The surprising oncogenic potential of the wild-type non-alpha isoforms of class I phosphoinositide 3-kinase may explain the dearth of cancer-specific mutations in these proteins, because these non-alpha isoforms could contribute to the oncogenic phenotype of the cell by differential expression.

Abstract
Cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (PDEs), which are ubiquitously distributed in mammalian tissues, play a major role in cell signaling by hydrolyzing cAMP and cGMP. Due to their diversity, which allows specific distribution at cellular and subcellular levels, PDEs can selectively regulate various cellular functions. Their critical role in intracellular signaling has recently designated them as new therapeutic targets for inflammation. The PDE superfamily represents 11 gene families (PDE1 to PDE11). Each family encompasses 1 to 4 distinct genes, to give more than 20 genes in mammals encoding the more than 50 different PDE proteins probably produced in mammalian cells. Although PDE1 to PDE6 were the first well-characterized isoforms because of their predominance in various tissues and cells, their specific contribution to tissue function and their regulation in pathophysiology remain open research fields. This concerns particularly the newly discovered families, PDE7 to PDE11, for which roles are not yet established. In many pathologies, such as inflammation, neurodegeneration, and cancer, alterations in intracellular signaling related to PDE deregulation may explain the difficulties observed in the prevention and treatment of these pathologies. By inhibiting specifically the up-regulated PDE isozyme(s) with newly synthesized potent and isozyme-selective PDE inhibitors, it may be potentially possible to restore normal intracellular signaling selectively, providing therapy with reduced adverse effects.

Abstract
We have developed an expression, refolding, and purification protocol for the catalytic domain of human Phosphodiesterase 3B (PDE3B). High level expression in Escherichia coli has been achieved with yields of up to 20mg/L. The catalytic domain of the enzyme was purified by affinity chromatography utilizing a novel affinity ligand. PDE3B, purified by affinity chromatography, with no single impurity #10878;1% as determined by SDS-PAGE, has a specific activity of 2210+/-442nmol/min/mg and a KM for cAMP of 44+/-4.5nM. Reducing the size of the expressed catalytic domain from residues 387-1112 to residues 654-1086 greatly reduced the aggregation phenomena observed with the affinity purified PDE3B. The definition of the N-terminus of the catalytic core was examined through the generation of several truncation mutants spanning amino acid residues 636-674. Constructs starting at E665 and M674 were fully active and devoid of activity, respectively. A construct starting at D668 had a Vmax reduced by approximately 10-fold relative to the longer constructs, yet the KM was not affected. This indicates the minimal N-terminus of the catalytic core lies between E665 and Y667. Refolding and affinity purification of the 654-1073 catalytic core of PDE3B has been employed to produce large quantities of highly pure enzyme for structural studies.

Abstract
The G protein-coupled, receptor-activated phosphoinositide 3-kinase gamma (PI3Kgamma) mediates inflammatory responses and negatively controls cardiac contractility by reducing cAMP concentration. Here, we report that mice carrying a targeted mutation in the PI3Kgamma gene causing loss of kinase activity (PI3KgammaKD/KD) display reduced inflammatory reactions but no alterations in cardiac contractility. We show that, in PI3KgammaKD/KD hearts, cAMP levels are normal and that PI3Kgamma-deficient mice but not PI3KgammaKD/KD mice develop dramatic myocardial damage after chronic pressure overload induced by transverse aortic constriction (TAC). Finally, our data indicate that PI3Kgamma is an essential component of a complex controlling PDE3B phosphodiesterase-mediated cAMP destruction. Thus, cardiac PI3Kgamma participates in two distinct signaling pathways: a kinase-dependent activity that controls PKB/Akt as well as MAPK phosphorylation and contributes to TAC-induced cardiac remodeling, and a kinase-independent activity that relies on protein interactions to regulate PDE3B activity and negatively modulates cardiac contractility.

Abstract
Class-I phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI 3-kinases) are dual specificity enzymes that possess both lipid and protein kinase activity. While the best characterized property of this protein kinase is as an autokinase activity, there have also been reports it can phosphorylate exogenous substrates including peptides, IRS-1 and PDE-3B. The identification of two novel potential protein substrates of PI 3-kinase is described here. By employing in vitro kinase assays using recombinant proteins as the substrates, it is shown that the translational regulator 4EBP1 becomes phosphorylated by the p110alpha and p110gamma isoforms of class-I PI 3-kinases. The lipid kinase activity of both these isoforms is increased by allosteric binding of H-Ras or betagamma subunits of heterotrimeric G proteins, but we find this is not the case for the protein kinase activity. Surprisingly though, a site on H-Ras is phosphorylated by p110alpha and p110gamma. This raises the possibility that these proteins could serve as physiological substrates for the protein kinase activity of PI 3-kinase and suggests this activity operates in a physiological context by phosphorylating substrates other than the PI 3-kinase itself. This may be particularly important in regulating the interaction of Ras with PI 3-kinase.

Abstract
Melanophores are pigmented cells capable of quick colour changes through coordinated transport of their intracellular pigment granules. We demonstrate the involvement of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3-K) in Xenopus and Labrus aggregation by the use of the PI3-K inhibitor, LY-294002. In Xenopus, wortmannin-insensitive PI3-K was found to be essential for the aggregation, mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation and tyrosine phosphorylation of a 280-kDa protein, and for the maintenance of low cyclic adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate (cAMP) during the aggregated state. Pre-aggregated cells disperse completely to LY-294002 at 50-100 muM, involving a transient elevation in cAMP due to adenylate cyclase (AC) stimulation or to inhibition of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (PDE). The inactive analogue LY-303511 did not induce dispersion at the same concentrations. PDE4 and/or PDE2 was found to be involved in melanosome aggregation. The similar kinetics of LY-294002 and various PDE inhibitors indicates that the elevation of cAMP might be due to inhibition of PDE. In Labrus melanophores, LY-294002 had a less dramatic effect, probably due to less dependence on PDE in regulation of cAMP levels. In Xenopus aggregation, we suggest that melatonin stimulation of the Mel1c receptor via G(beta gamma) activates PI3-K that, directly or indirectly via MAPK, activates PDE.

Abstract
Leptin, the long-sought satiety factor of adipocytes origin, has emerged as one of the major signals that relay the status of fat stores to the hypothalamus and plays a significant role in energy homeostasis. Understanding the mechanisms of leptin signaling in the hypothalamus during normal and pathological conditions, such as obesity, has been the subject of intensive research during the last decade. It is now established that leptin action in the hypothalamus in regulation of food intake and body weight is mediated by a neural circuitry comprising of orexigenic and anorectic signals, including NPY, MCH, galanin, orexin, GALP, alpha-MSH, NT, and CRH. In addition to the conventional JAK2-STAT3 pathway, it has become evident that PI3K-PDE3B-cAMP pathway plays a critical role in leptin signaling in the hypothalamus. It is now established that central leptin resistance contributes to the development of diet-induced obesity and ageing associated obesity. Central leptin resistance also occurs due to hyperleptinimia produced by exogenous leptin infusion. A defective nutritional regulation of leptin receptor gene expression and reduced STAT3 signaling may be involved in the development of leptin resistance in DIO. However, leptin resistance in the hypothalamic neurons may occur despite an intact JAK2-STAT3 pathway of leptin signaling. Thus, in addition to defective JAK2-STAT3 pathway, defects in other leptin signaling pathways may be involved in leptin resistance. We hypothesize that defective regulation of PI3K-PDE3B-cAMP pathway may be one of the mechanisms behind the development of central leptin resistance seen in obesity.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate whether hyperinsulinemia modifies adrenergic control of lipolysis, with particular attention paid to the involvement of antilipolytic alpha2-adrenergic receptors (AR). Eight healthy male subjects (age: 23.9 +/- 0.9 yr; body mass index: 23.8 +/- 1.9) were investigated during a 6-h euglycemichyperinsulinemic clamp and in control conditions. Before and during the clamp, the effect of graded perfusions of isoproterenol (0.1 and 1 microM) or epinephrine (1 and 10 microM) on the extracellular glycerol concentration in subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue was evaluated by using the microdialysis method. Both isoproterenol and epinephrine induced a dose-dependent increase in extracellular glycerol concentration when infused for 60 min through the microdialysis probes before and during hours 3 and 6 of the clamp. The catecholamine-induced increase was significantly lower during the clamp than before it, with the inhibition being more pronounced in hour 6 of the clamp. Isoproterenol (1 microM)-induced lipolysis was reduced by 28 and 44% during hours 3 and 6 of the clamp, respectively, whereas the reduction of epinephrine (100 microM)-induced lipolysis was significantly greater (by 63 and 70%, P < 0.01 and P < 0.04, respectively) during the same time intervals. When epinephrine was infused in combination with 100 microM phentolamine (a nonselective alpha-AR antagonist), the inhibition of epinephrine (10 microM)-induced lipolysis was only of 19 and 40% during hours 3 and 6 of the clamp, respectively. The results demonstrate that, in situ, insulin counteracts the epinephrine-induced lipolysis in adipose tissue. The effect involves 1) reduction of lipolysis stimulation mediated by the beta-adrenergic pathway and 2) the antilipolytic component of epinephrine action mediated by alpha2-ARs.

Abstract
Class I phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) are bifunctional enzymes possessing lipid kinase activity and the capacity to phosphorylate their catalytic and/or regulatory subunits. In this study, in vitro autophosphorylation of the G protein-sensitive p85-coupled class I(A) PI3K beta and p101-coupled class I(B) PI3K gamma was examined. Autophosphorylation sites of both PI3K isoforms were mapped to C-terminal serine residues of the catalytic p110 subunit (i.e. serine 1070 of p110 beta and serine 1101 of p110 gamma). Like other class I(A) PI3K isoforms, autophosphorylation of p110 beta resulted in down-regulated PI3K beta lipid kinase activity. However, no inhibitory effect of p110 gamma autophosphorylation on PI3K gamma lipid kinase activity was observed. Moreover, PI3K beta and PI3K gamma differed in the regulation of their autophosphorylation. Whereas p110 beta autophosphorylation was stimulated neither by G beta gamma complexes nor by a phosphotyrosyl peptide derived from the platelet-derived growth factor receptor, autophosphorylation of p110 gamma was significantly enhanced by G beta gamma in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. In summary, we show that autophosphorylation of both PI3K beta and PI3K gamma occurs in a C-terminal region of the catalytic p110 subunit but differs in its regulation and possible functional consequences, suggesting distinct roles of autophosphorylation of PI3K beta and PI3K gamma.

Abstract
In insulin-sensitive 3T3-L1 adipocytes, selenium stimulates glucose transport and antilipolysis and these actions of selenium, like insulin actions, are sensitive to wortmanin, an inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K). Selenium stimulates PI3K activity that is sustained up to 24 h. Selenium after 5-10 min increases tyrosine phosphorylation of selective cellular proteins, but after 24 h overall tyrosine phosphorylation is increased. Tyrosine phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate 1 is detected when enriched by immunoprecipitation with anti-PI3K antibody. Selenium, however, does not stimulate insulin receptor tyrosine kinase activity. Selenium also increases phosphorylation of other insulin signaling proteins, including Akt and extracellular signal regulated kinases. Selenium-stimulated glucose transport is accompanied by increases in glucose transporter-1 content in the plasma membrane. These data are consistent with similar selenium action in glucose transport in 3T3-L1 fibroblasts expressing mainly GLUT1. In chronic insulin-induced insulin resistant cells, selenium unlike insulin fully stimulates glucose transport. In summary, selenium stimulates glucose transport and antilipolysis in a PI3K-dependent manner, but independent of insulin receptor activation. Selenium exerts both insulin-like and non-insulin-like actions in cells.

Abstract
PDE3A cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases regulate cAMP- and cGMP-mediated intracellular signaling in cardiac myocytes. We used antibodies to different regions of PDE3A to demonstrate the presence of three PDE3A isoforms in these cells. These isoforms, whose apparent molecular weights are 136,000, 118,000, and 94,000 ("PDE3A-136," "PDE3A-118," and "PDE3A-94"), are identical save for the deletion of different lengths of N-terminal sequence containing two membrane-association domains and sites for phosphorylation/activation by protein kinase B ("PK-B") and protein kinase A ("PK-A"). PDE3A-136 contains both membrane-association domains and the PK-B and PK-A sites. PDE3A-118 contains only the downstream membrane-association domain and the PK-A sites. PDE3A-94 lacks both membrane localization domains and the PK-B and PK-A sites. The three isoforms are translated from two mRNAs derived from the PDE3A1 gene: PDE3A-136 is translated from PDE3A1 mRNA, whereas PDE3A-118 and PDE3A-94 are translated from PDE3A2 mRNA. Experiments involving in vitro transcription/translation indicate that PDE3A-118 and PDE3A-94 may be translated from different AUGs in PDE3A2 mRNA. These findings suggest that alternative transcriptional and post-transcriptional processing of the PDE3A gene results in the generation of two mRNAs and three protein isoforms in cardiac myocytes that differ with respect to intracellular localization and may be regulated through different signaling pathways.

Abstract
We investigated the effects of methylxanthines on enzymatic activity of phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks). We found that caffeine inhibits the in vitro lipid kinase of class I PI3Ks (IC(50) = 75 microm for p110 delta, 400 microm for p110 alpha and p110 beta, and 1 mm for p110 gamma), and theophylline has similar effects (IC(50) = 75 microm for p110 delta, 300 microm for p110 alpha, and 800 microm for p110 beta and p110 gamma) and also inhibits the alpha isoform of class II PI3K (PI3K-C2 alpha) (IC(50) approximately 400 microm). However, four other xanthine derivatives tested (3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine, 3-propylxanthine, alloxazine, and PD116948 (8-cyclopentyl-1,3-dipropylxanthine)) were an order of magnitude less effective. Surprisingly the triazoloquinazoline CGS15943 (9-chloro-2-(2-furyl)(1,2,d)triazolo(1,5-c)quinazolin-5-amine) also selectively inhibits p110 delta (IC(50) < 10 microm). Caffeine and theophylline also inhibit the intrinsic protein kinase activity of the class IA PI3Ks and DNA-dependent protein kinase, although with a much lower potency than that for the lipid kinase (IC(50) approximately 10 mm for p110 alpha, 3 mm for p110 beta, and 10 mm for DNA-dependent protein kinase). In CHO-IR cells and rat soleus muscle, theophylline and caffeine block the ability of insulin to stimulate protein kinase B with IC(50) values similar to those for inhibition of PI3K activity, whereas insulin stimulation of ERK1 or ERK2 was not inhibited at concentrations up to 10 mm. Theophylline and caffeine also blocked insulin stimulation of glucose transport in CHO-IR cells. These results demonstrate that these methylxanthines are direct inhibitors of PI3K lipid kinase activity but are distinctly less effective against serine kinase activity and thus could be of potential use in dissecting these two distinct kinase activities. Theophylline, caffeine, and CGS15943 may be of particular use in dissecting the specific role of the p110 delta lipid kinase. Finally, we conclude that inhibition of PI3K (p110 delta in particular) is likely explain some of the physiological and pharmacological properties of caffeine and theophylline.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases represent a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in diabetes. Of the many animal models used in the study of non-insulin-dependent (type 2) diabetes, the JCR:LA-cp rat is unique in that it develops insulin resistance in the presence of obesity and manifests both peripheral and coronary vasculopathies. In this animal model, arterial vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) from homozygous obese (cp/cp) rats, but not from age-matched healthy (+/+ or + /cp, collectively defined +/?) littermates, display an " activated" phenotype in vitro and in vivo and have an elevated level of cAMP phosphodiesterase (PDE) activity. In this report, we confirm that cp/cp rat aortic VSMCs have an elevated level of PDE3 activity and show that only particulate PDE3 (PDE3B) activity is elevated. In marked contrast to results obtained in + /? VSMCs, simultaneous activation of adenylyl cyclase and inhibition of PDE3 activity in cp/cp VSMCs synergistically increased cAMP. Although PDE3 inhibition did not potentiate the antimigratory effects of forskolin on +/? VSMCs, PDE3 inhibition did markedly potentiate the forskolin-induced inhibition of migration of cp/cp-derived VSMCs. Although PDE3 activity was elevated in cp/cp rat aortic VSMCs, levels of expression of cytosolic PDE3 (PDE3A) and PDE3B in +/? and cp/cp VSMCs, as well as activation of these enzymes following activation of the cAMP-protein kinase A signaling cascade, were not different. Our data are consistent with an increased role for PDE3 in regulating cAMP-dependent signaling in cp/cp VSMCs and identify PDE3 as a cellular activity potentially responsible for the phenotype of cp/cp VSMCs.

Abstract
Regulation of adenylyl cyclase type V/VI and cAMP-specific, cGMP-inhibited phosphodiesterase (PDE) 3 and cAMP-specific PDE4 by cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) and cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG) was examined in gastric smooth muscle cells. Expression of PDE3A but not PDE3B was demonstrated by RT-PCR and Western blot. Basal PDE3 and PDE4 activities were present in a ratio of 2:1. Forskolin, isoproterenol, and the PKA activator 5,6-dichloro-1-beta-D-ribofuranosyl benzimidazole 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate, SP-isomer, stimulated PDE3A phosphorylation and both PDE3A and PDE4 activities. Phosphorylation of PDE3A and activation of PDE3A and PDE4 were blocked by the PKA inhibitors [protein kinase inhibitor (PKI) and H-89] but not by the PKG inhibitor (KT-5823). Sodium nitroprusside inhibited PDE3 activity and augmented forskolin- and isoproterenol-stimulated cAMP levels; PDE3 inhibition was reversed by blockade of cGMP synthesis. Forskolin stimulated adenylyl cyclase phosphorylation and activity; PKI blocked phosphorylation and enhanced activity. Stimulation of cAMP and inhibition of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-induced Ca(2+) release and muscle contraction by isoproterenol were augmented additively by PDE3 and PDE4 inhibitors. The results indicate that PKA regulates cAMP levels in smooth muscle via stimulatory phosphorylation of PDE3A and PDE4 and inhibitory phosphorylation of adenylyl cyclase type V/VI. Concurrent generation of cGMP inhibits PDE3 activity and augments cAMP levels.

Abstract
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated with elevated postprandial free fatty acids (FFA) and insulin resistance; however, little is known about the cellular mechanisms underlying insulin resistance to suppress lipolysis during gestation. We evaluated the longitudinal changes in insulin suppression of FFA before pregnancy and in early (12-14 wk) and late (34-36 wk) gestation in obese subjects with normal glucose tolerance and in obese GDM subjects. Abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue biopsies were also obtained during cesarean delivery from normal obese pregnant (Preg-Con), GDM, and nonpregnant obese control (Non-Preg-Con) subjects during gynecological surgery. GDM subjects had higher basal plasma FFA before pregnancy (P = 0.055). Insulin's ability to suppress FFA levels declined from early to late gestation in both GDM and Preg-Con subjects and was significantly less in GDM subjects compared with Preg-Con subjects over time (P = 0.025). Adipose tissue insulin receptor substrate (IRS)-1 protein levels were 43% lower (P = 0.02) and p85alpha subunit of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase was twofold higher (P = 0.03) in GDM compared with Preg-Con subjects. The levels of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPARgamma) mRNA and protein were lower by 38% in Preg-Con (P = 0.006) and by 48% in GDM subjects (P = 0.005) compared with Non-Preg controls. Lipoprotein lipase and fatty acid-binding protein-2 mRNA levels were 73 and 52% lower in GDM compared with Preg-Con subjects (P < 0.002). Thus GDM women have decreased IRS-1, which may contribute to reduced insulin suppression of lipolysis with advancing gestation. Decreased PPARgamma and its target genes may be part of the molecular mechanism to accelerate fat catabolism to meet fetal nutrient demand in late gestation.

Abstract
In adipocytes, insulin regulates the activity of different protein kinases (PI3K/Akt, MAPK, PKC) and protein phosphatases (PP-1, PP-2A). Since these enzymes are implicated in the regulation of NOS activity which is present in adipose tissue, we tested the effects of insulin on white adipocyte NOS activity. Exposure of adipocytes to insulin resulted simultaneously in NOS activity stimulation and Akt activation with maximal effect observed at 1 nM. Higher concentrations of insulin induced a progressive decline of NOS activity. In the presence of wortmannin, a PI3K inhibitor, 1 nM insulin failed to stimulate NOS activity. Insulin (1 nM)-stimulated NOS activity was also abolished by U0126, an inhibitor of p42/p44 MAPK activation, and by 1 microM okadaic acid (OA), which inhibits both PP-1 and PP-2A but not by 1 nM OA which inhibits only PP-2A. Moreover, inhibition of cPKC allowed a high (1 microM) insulin concentration to stimulate NOS activity. These results (i) demonstrate that insulin activates NO production in adipocytes through both PI3K/Akt and MAPK/PP-1 activation and (ii) suggest that PP-1 activation protects NOS against the inhibitory effect of cPKC activation.

Abstract
Insulin resistance during pregnancy provokes gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM); however, the cellular mechanisms for this type of insulin resistance are not well understood. We evaluated the mechanisms(s) for insulin resistance in skeletal muscle from an animal model of spontaneous GDM, the heterozygous C57BL/KsJ-(db/+) mouse. Pregnancy triggered a novel functional redistribution of the insulin-signaling environment in skeletal muscle in vivo. This environment preferentially increases a pool of phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase activity associated with the insulin receptor, away from insulin receptor substrate (IRS)-1. In conjunction with the redistribution of PI 3-kinase to the insulin receptor, there is a selective increase in activation of downstream serine kinases Akt and p70S6. Furthermore, we show that redistribution of PI 3-kinase to the insulin receptor increases insulin-stimulated IRS-1 serine phosphorylation, impairs IRS-1 expression and its tyrosine phosphorylation, and decreases the ability of IRS-1 to bind and activate PI 3-kinase in response to insulin. Thus, the pool of IRS-1-associated PI 3-kinase activity is reduced, resulting in the inability of insulin to stimulate GLUT4 translocation to the plasma membrane. These defects are unique to pregnancy and suggest that redistribution of PI 3-kinase to the insulin receptor may be a primary defect underlying insulin resistance in skeletal muscle during gestational diabetes.

Abstract
Activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) is a common event in both insulin and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) signalling, but only insulin activates this enzyme in the high-speed pellet (HSP), and induces GLUT4 translocation. Recently, we have demonstrated that exposure of 3T3-L1 adipocytes to oxidative stress impairs insulin-stimulated GLUT4 translocation and glucose transport, associated with impaired PI 3-kinase translocation and activation in the HSP [Tirosh, Potashnik, Bashan and Rudich (1999) J. Biol. Chem. 274, 10595-10602]. In this study the effect of a 2 h exposure to approximately 30 microM H(2)O(2) on insulin versus PDGF-BB signalling and metabolic effects was compared. PDGF-stimulated p85-associated PI 3-kinase activity in total cell lysates, as well as co-precipitation of the PDGF receptor, were unaffected by oxidative stress. Additionally, the increase in p85 association with the plasma-membrane lawns by PDGF remained intact following oxidation, whereas the insulin effect was decreased. PDGF significantly increased protein kinase B (PKB) activity in early differentiated cells, and that of p70 S6-kinase in both early and fully differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Following oxidation the effect of PDGF on PKB and p70 S6-kinase activation remained intact, whereas significant inhibition of insulin-stimulated activation of those enzymes was observed. In accordance, in both early and fully differentiated cells, oxidative stress completely blunted insulin- but not PDGF-stimulated protein synthesis. In conclusion, oxidative stress impairs insulin, but not PDGF, signalling and metabolic actions in both early and fully differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes. This emphasizes compartment-specific activation of PI 3-kinase as an oxidation-sensitive step specifically leading to insulin resistance.
