[PMID: 37960269 PMCID: PMC10650923 DOI: 10.3390/nu15214616] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2023] [Revised: 10/15/2023] [Accepted: 10/27/2023] [Indexed: 11/15/2023] Open
Abstract
The etiology of numerous metabolic disorders is characterized by hepatic insulin resistance (IR). Uncertainty surrounds miR-34a's contribution to high-fat-induced hepatic IR and its probable mechanism. The role and mechanism of miR-34a and its target gene ENO3 in high-fat-induced hepatic IR were explored by overexpressing/suppressing miR-34a and ENO3 levels in in vivo and in vitro experiments. Moreover, as a human hepatic IR model, the miR-34a/ENO3 pathway was validated in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The overexpression of hepatic miR-34a lowered insulin signaling and altered glucose metabolism in hepatocytes. In contrast, reducing miR-34a expression significantly reversed hepatic IR indices induced by palmitic acid (PA)/HFD. ENO3 was identified as a direct target gene of miR-34a. Overexpression of ENO3 effectively inhibited high-fat-induced hepatic IR-related indices both in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, the expression patterns of members of the miR-34a/ENO3 pathway in the liver tissues of NAFLD patients was in line with the findings of both cellular and animal studies. A high-fat-induced increase in hepatic miR-34a levels attenuates insulin signaling and impairs glucose metabolism by suppressing the expression of its target gene ENO3, ultimately leading to hepatic IR. The miR-34a/ENO3 pathway may be a potential therapeutic target for hepatic IR and related metabolic diseases.

Abstract
Insulin receptor substrates (IRS)-1 and -2 are major substrates of insulin and type I insulin-like growth factor (IGF-I) receptor (IGF-IR) signaling. In this study, SH-EP human neuroblastoma cells are used as a model system to examine the differential roles of IRS-1 and IRS-2 on glucose-mediated apoptosis. In the presence of high glucose, IRS-1 underwent caspase-mediated degradation, followed by focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and Akt degradation and apoptosis. IRS-2 expression blocked all these changes whereas IRS-1 overexpression had no effect. In parallel, IRS-2, but not IRS-1, overexpression enhanced IGF-I-mediated Akt activation without affecting extracellular regulated kinase signaling. While IRS-1 was readily degraded by caspases, hyperglycemia-mediated IRS-2 degradation was unaffected by caspase inhibitors but blocked by proteasome and calpain inhibitors. Our data suggest that the differential degradation of IRS-1 and IRS-2 contributes to their distinct modes of action and the increased neuroprotective effects of IRS-2 in this report are due, in part, to its resistance to caspase-mediated degradation.

Abstract
The Insulin Receptor Substrate (IRS) proteins are cytoplasmic adaptor proteins that function as essential signaling intermediates downstream of activated cell surface receptors, many of which have been implicated in cancer. The IRS proteins do not contain any intrinsic kinase activity, but rather serve as scaffolds to organize signaling complexes and initiate intracellular signaling pathways. As common intermediates of multiple receptors that can influence tumor progression, the IRS proteins are positioned to play a pivotal role in regulating the response of tumor cells to many different microenvironmental stimuli. Limited studies on IRS expression in human tumors and studies on IRS function in human tumor cell lines and in mouse models have provided clues to the potential function of these adaptor proteins in human cancer. A general theme arises from these studies; IRS-1 and IRS-4 are most often associated with tumor growth and proliferation and IRS-2 is most often associated with tumor motility and invasion. In this review, we discuss the mechanisms by which IRS expression and function are regulated and how the IRS proteins contribute to tumor initiation and progression.

Abstract
Mouse embryonic stem (mES) cells are pluripotent cells that can be propagated in vitro with leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) and serum. Intracellular signaling by LIF is principally mediated by activation of STAT-3, although additional pathways for self-renewal have been described. Here, we identified a novel role for Insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) as a critical factor in mES cells self-renewal and differentiation. IRS-1 is expressed and tyrosyl phosphorylated during mES cells self-renewal. Differentiation of mES cells, by LIF withdrawal, is associated with a marked reduction in IRS-1 expression. Targeting of IRS-1 by si-IRS-1 results in a severe reduction of Oct-4 protein expression and alkaline phosphatase activity, markers of undifferentiated mES cells. IRS-1 targeting does not interfere with LIF-induced STAT-3 phosphorylation, but negatively affects protein kinase B (PKB/AKT) and glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3beta) phosphorylation, which are downstream effectors of the LIF-mediated PI3K signaling cascade. Targeting of IRS-1 also results in a marked down regulation of Id-1 and Id-2 proteins expression, which are important components for self-renewal of ES cells. Conversely, over expression of IRS-1 inhibits mES cell differentiation. Taken together, these results suggest that expression and activity of IRS-1 are critical to the maintenance of the self-renewal program in mES cells.

Abstract
Akt-mediated phosphorylation of forkhead transcription factors is linked to growth factor-stimulated cell survival. We investigated whether the survival activity of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) in SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma (NBL) cells is associated with phosphorylation and/or localization changes in forkhead proteins. IGF-I induced phosphorylation of Erks (p42/p44), FKHR (FOXO1a) (Ser 253), FKHRL1 (FOXO3a) (Ser 256), and Akt (Ser 473). PI3-K inhibitor, LY294002, reduced IGF-I-stimulated phosphorylation of FKHR, FKHRL1, and Akt, but did not affect Erk phosphorylation. Using a GFP-FKHR construct, FKHR imported into the nucleus during growth factor withdrawal-induced apoptosis. In addition, IGF-I rescue from serum withdrawal-induced apoptosis is associated with a rapid export of GFP-FKHR into the cytoplasm. Leptomycin B, an inhibitor of Crm1-mediated nuclear export, decreased the level of FKHRL1 phosphorylation in the presence of IGF-I in vector and FKHR overexpressing cells, but had no effect on the phosphorylation status of FKHR. In addition, leptomycin B prevented IGF-I stimulated nuclear export of GFP-FKHR. These studies show IGF-I phosphorylation of FKHR and FKHRL1 via a PI3-K-dependent pathway in NBL cells.

Abstract
The present studies were conducted to determine if increasing central levels of the neurotrophic factor insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-I) either directly or indirectly produces anxiolytic and antidepressant-like effects in the mouse. Central levels of IGF-I can be increased directly, by administering IGF-I, or indirectly by blocking the insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs). The IGFBP family has the unique ability to regulate IGF-I levels by sequestering IGF-I into an inactive complex. Therefore, an IGFBP inhibitor increases the level of IGF-I available to bind to its receptor. Intracerebroventricular (icv) administration of the nonspecific IGFBP inhibitor NBI-31772 (10-30 microg) increases the number of punished crossings in the four-plate test and NBI-31772 (0.3-10 microg) increases time spent in the open quadrant of the elevated zero maze (EZM), indicative of anxiolytic-like effects. NBI-31772 (3-30 microg) also decreases immobility time in the tail suspension test, indicative of antidepressant-like effects. Similarly, icv administration of IGF-I (0.1 microg) produces anxiolytic-like effects in the four-plate test and IGF-1 (0.3-1 microg) produces anxiolytic-like effects in the EZM. IGF-I (10 microg) also produces antidepressant-like effects in the tail suspension test. Coadministration of the IGF-I receptor antagonist JB1 with NBI-31772 or IGF-I blocks the anxiolytic-like and antidepressant-like effects of these compounds. These results suggest that NBI-31772 produces behavioral effects by increasing levels of IGF-I that in turn activate the IGF-I receptor. The present studies demonstrate that an IGFBP inhibitor mimics the behavioral effects of IGF-I and that IGFBP inhibition may represent a novel mechanism by which to increase IGF-I to treat depression and anxiety.

Abstract
Similar to many other growth factor systems, the IGF system consists of more than a single ligand interacting with a single receptor. There are three ligands (IGF-I, IGF-II and insulin) that interact with at least four receptors. In addition, the IGF system also involves six well-characterized binding proteins that regulate IGF action. Type I IGF receptor-mediated signaling plays a fundamental role in cell growth and malignant transformation and is an important mediator of anti-apoptotic signals. This review describes the roles of IGF signaling in childhood tumors of the CNS and PNS, including neuroblastoma, medulloblastoma, atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumors and craniopharyngioma. Moreover, it describes strategies to disrupt the IGF signaling as a potential cancer therapy.

Abstract
Combined anticancer therapy using platinum compounds and antitubulins has increased the risk of neurotoxicity. However, the combination of low-dose cisplatin (CDDP) with toxic doses of paclitaxel significantly reduces cellular death in a human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cell line. To analyze the mechanisms of this protection, we evaluated various signaling molecules possibly involved in apoptosis and some relevant cell cycle regulatory proteins. CDDP does not interfere with the tubulin-stabilizing action of paclitaxel. The evaluation of molecular pathways involved in apoptosis indicates that the Bcl-2 but not the caspases may be involved in the CDDP protection of paclitaxel-induced apoptosis. The increase in p53 protein and its nuclear accumulation suggests a possible involvement of p53 in CDDP protection. The use of the chemical inhibitor of p53, pifithrin alpha, excluded this possibility. The study of cyclins and the flow cytometric analysis (fluorescence-activated cell sorting) suggest that CDDP exerts a protective action by blocking cells early in the cell cycle. The determination of the mitotic index indicates that CDDP prevents cells from reaching the mitosis. We concluded that low doses of CDDP are protective against toxic doses of paclitaxel and that the possible mechanism of this protection is that the CDDP prevents human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells from achieving mitosis.

Abstract
The repressor element-1 (RE-1) silencing transcription factor (REST) interacts with an RE-1 cis element and represses the transcription of neuron-specific genes in neuronal progenitors but is down-regulated in post-mitotic neurons. We report that REST expression is modified, in a time-dependent manner, in SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells exposed to insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I), a polypeptide hormone affecting various aspects of neuronal induction and maturation. REST is increased in cells treated with IGF-I for 2 days and then declines in 5-day-treated cells concomitant with a progressive neurite extension. To investigate any role played by REST in neurodifferentiation by IGF-I, we employed an antisense oligonucleotide (AS-ODN) complementary to REST mRNA. In AS-ODN-treated cells, the effects elicited by IGF-I on cell proliferation are not influenced whereas a marked decrease of REST significantly increases neurite elongation without any gross perturbation of neurogenesis. Synapsin I and betaIII-tubulin gene promoters contain an RE-1 motif and their transcription is repressed by REST; both of them are increased in cells exposed to IGF-I for 5 days and further elevated by AS-ODN treatment. A parallel increase of growth cone-associated protein 43, a protein chosen as a neuronal marker not directly regulated by REST, is also observed. Therefore, REST is elevated during early steps of neural induction by IGF-I and could contribute to down-regulate genes not yet required by the differentiation program while it declines later for the acquisition of neural phenotypes. These results suggest a model in which differentiating neuroblastoma cells determine their extent of neurite outgrowth on the basis of REST disappearance.

Abstract
Insulin stimulates phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) and extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK) in various mammalian cells. To study the role of PI3K in insulin stimulation of ERK, we employed PI3K inhibitor LY294002 and mouse embryonic R- fibroblasts lacking IGF-1 receptors. In these R- cells, PI3K inhibition by LY294002 enhanced insulin stimulation of ERK phosphorylation whereas LY294002 inhibited insulin stimulation of Akt phosphorylation. The enhanced insulin stimulation of ERK phosphorylation was accompanied by increased IRS-1 tyrosine phosphorylation. Insulin stimulation of insulin receptor tyrosine phosphorylation was not altered. PI3K inhibition increased IRS-1-Grb2 complex formation and ras activity following insulin treatment of cells. Increased insulin stimulation of ERK by PI3K inhibition was mediated by the MEK/ERK pathway, but did not involve inhibitory Ser259 phosphorylation of raf that was reported to be mediated by Akt. In summary, PI3K inhibition in R- cells enhanced insulin stimulation of ERK phosphorylation by mechanisms involving enhancement of IRS-1 tyrosine phosphorylation, IRS-1-Grb2 complex formation and the ras/MEK/ERK pathway.

Abstract
Many factors regulate nervous system development, including complex cross-talk between local neuroendocrine systems. The adipocyte-secreted hormone leptin, mainly known for its key roles in nutrition and reproductive balance, may also be involved in neuroanatomical organization, myelination processes, and neuronal/glia maturation. SK-N-SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells were employed as an in vitro model of human neuronal cells to determine whether leptin exerts neuroprotective activities. We show that SH-SY5Y cells express leptin, the long and short isoforms of the leptin receptor (ObRl, ObRs). In SH-SY5Y cells, leptin induced signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT)-3 phosphorylation and suppressor of cytokine signaling-3 mRNA expression. Leptin dose-dependently increased cell number (up to 200% at 1 microm by 48 h, P < 0.01), and at 24-48 h, leptin at 100 nm increased SH-SY5Y cell number by 30-50%, respectively. SH-SY5Y cell viability was reduced in serum-free conditions at 24 h, and addition of leptin at 100 nm significantly reduced apoptosis by approximately 20% (P < 0.001). Leptin's antiapoptotic activity required Janus kinase/STAT, MAPK, and phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase activation because the antiapoptotic effects of leptin were abolished, and caspase-3 immunoreactivity increased in the presence of the specific blockers AG490, U0126, or LY294002. Gene array demonstrated that leptin inhibits apoptosis via potent down-regulation of caspase-10 and TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand. Our data thus demonstrate, for the first time, that leptin stimulates, in a time- and dose-dependent manner, neuroblastoma cell proliferation and that the underlying mechanisms involve suppression of apoptosis via the Janus kinase-STAT, phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase, and MAPK pathways that culminate altogether in the down-regulation of the apoptotic factors caspase-10 and TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand.

Abstract
The insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system is a key regulator of cell growth, survival and differentiation, and these functions are co-modulated by other growth factors including fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2). To investigate IGF/FGF interactions in neuronal cells, we employed neuroblastoma cells (SK-N-MC). In serum free conditions proliferation of the SK-N-MC cells was promoted by IGF-I (25 ng/ml), but blunted by FGF-2 (50 ng/ml). IGF-I-induced proliferation was abolished in the presence of FGF-2 even when IGF-I was used at 100 ng/ml. In addition to our previously described FGF-2 induced proteolytic cleavage of IGFBP-2, we found that FGF-2 increased IGFBP-6 levels in conditioned medium (CM) without affecting IGFBP-6 mRNA abundance. Modulation of IGFBP-2 and -6 levels were not significant mechanisms involved in the blockade of IGF-I action since the potent IGF-I analogues [QAYL]IGF-I and des(1-3)IGF-I (minimal IGFBP affinity) were unable to overcome FGF-2 inhibition of cell proliferation. FGF-2 treated cells showed morphological differentiation expressing the TUJ1 neuronal marker while cells treated with IGF-I alone showed no morphological change. When IGF-I was combined with FGF-2, however, cell morphology was indistinguishable from that seen with FGF-2 alone. FGF-2 inhibited proliferation and enhanced differentiation was also associated with a 70% increase in cell death. Although IGF-I alone was potently anti-apoptotic (60% decreased), IGF-I was unable to prevent apoptosis when administrated in combination with FGF-2. Gene-array analysis confirmed FGF-2 activation of the intrinsic and extrinsic apoptotic pathways and blockade of IGF anti-apoptotic signaling. FGF-2, directly and indirectly, overcomes the proliferative and anti-apoptotic activity of IGF-I by complex mechanisms, including enhancement of differentiation and apoptotic pathways, and inhibition of IGF-I induced anti-apoptotic signalling. Modulation of IGF binding protein abundance by FGF-2 does not play a significant role in inhibition of IGF-I induced mitogenesis.

Abstract
Pescadillo (PES1) and the upstream binding factor (UBF1) play a role in ribosome biogenesis, which regulates cell size, an important component of cell proliferation. We have investigated the effects of PES1 and UBF1 on the growth and differentiation of cell lines derived from 32D cells, an interleukin-3 (IL-3)-dependent murine myeloid cell line. Parental 32D cells and 32D IGF-IR cells (expressing increased levels of the type 1 insulin-like growth factor I [IGF-I] receptor [IGF-IR]) do not express insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1) or IRS-2. 32D IGF-IR cells differentiate when the cells are shifted from IL-3 to IGF-I. Ectopic expression of IRS-1 inhibits differentiation and transforms 32D IGF-IR cells into a tumor-forming cell line. We found that PES1 and UBF1 increased cell size and/or altered the cell cycle distribution of 32D-derived cells but failed to make them IL-3 independent. PES1 and UBF1 also failed to inhibit the differentiation program initiated by the activation of the IGF-IR, which is blocked by IRS-1. 32D IGF-IR cells expressing PES1 or UBF1 differentiate into granulocytes like their parental cells. In contrast, PES1 and UBF1 can transform mouse embryo fibroblasts that have high levels of endogenous IRS-1 and are not prone to differentiation. Our results provide a model for one of the theories of myeloid leukemia, in which both a stimulus of proliferation and a block of differentiation are required for leukemia development.

Abstract
Neuroblastoma is a heterogeneous tumor consisting of N (neuronal) and S (stromal) cells. We report that more tumorigenic and motile N cells express higher levels of IGF-I receptor (IGF-IR) than less tumorigenic, more adherent S cells. Shc, one of the two major docking partners of IGF-IR, is equally expressed in N and S cell lines. IGF-I treatment phosphorylates Shc in N cells, but only weakly activates Shc in S cells. Expression of the second partner, insulin receptor substrate (IRS), is cell type specific. S cells exclusively express IRS-1 that undergoes sustained phosphorylation by IGF-I. In contrast, N cells express IRS-2 that is transiently phosphorylated by IGF-I. Downstream of IRS-2 and Shc, IGF-I treatment results in strong activation of Akt and MAPK in N cells and activation of both pathways is required for IGF-I-mediated differentiation. Only IGF-IR activation of phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase is required for tumor edge ruffling in N and S cells, with stimulation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and paxillin. This detailed understanding of the 'biochemical signature' of N and S cells provides the background needed to target and disrupt specific IGF signaling pathways in an attempt to develop more effective therapies.

Abstract
Gangliosides and extracellular matrix molecules influence neurite outgrowth, but the combinatorial effects of these endogenous agents on outgrowth are unclear. Exogenous gangliosides inhibit neurite outgrowth from SH-SY5Y cells stimulated with platelet-derived growth factor-BB, and different isoforms of the ceramide analog threo-1-phenyl-2-decanoylamino-3-morpholino-1-propanol (PDMP) stimulate (L-PDMP) or inhibit (D-PDMP) glycosphingolipid biosynthesis. In this study, we determined whether altering the endogenous ganglioside levels with PDMP in SH-SY5Y cells regulates neurite outgrowth on the outgrowth-supporting extracellular matrix molecule, laminin. In cells stimulated with 20 ng/ml platelet-derived growth factor-BB to promote outgrowth, we used image analysis to evaluate neurite outgrowth from SH-SY5Y cells grown on endogenous matrix or laminin and exposed to L- or D-PDMP. Both L- and D-PDMP decreased neurite initiation (the number of neurites/cell, the percent of neurite-bearing cells), elongation (the length of the longest neurite/cell, the total neurite length/cell), and branching (the number of branch points/neurite) from SH-SY5Y cells on endogenous matrix or laminin in a dose-dependent manner in serum-free or serum-containing medium. The inhibitory effects of each PDMP isoform were reversible. Inhibition of neurite outgrowth by L-PDMP could be mimicked by addition of exogenous gangliosides or C2-ceramide. Our analyses of neurite outgrowth in SH-SY5Y cells, a model of developing or regenerating noradrenergic neurons, demonstrate that increasing or decreasing endogenous ganglioside levels decreases neurite outgrowth. These results may indicate that SH-SY5Y cells undergo tight regulation by gangliosides, possibly through modulation of growth/trophic factor- and/or extracellular matrix-activated signaling cascades.

Abstract
In our laboratory, we are interested in hyperosmolarity-induced apoptosis in neuronal cells. We have shown that high concentrations of glucose or mannitol induce apoptotic cell death in dorsal root ganglia in culture and in SH-SY5Y and SH-EP human neuroblastoma cells. Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is a cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase that has a critical role for transmitting integrin-mediated-signals. In this study, we report that hyperosmolar treatment mediates FAK dephosphorylation and cleavage, which is prevented by insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) treatment. Mannitol treatment of SH-EP cells transfected with vector (SH-EP/pSFFV) results in concentration- and time-dependent dephosphorylation and degradation of FAK. Dephosphorylation and degradation of FAK are tightly correlated with apoptotic morphological changes, including the disruption of actin stress fibers, the loss of focal adhesion sites, membrane blebbing, and cell detachment. Treatment of SH-EP/pSFFV cells with IGF-I or transfection of IGF-I receptor prevents these changes. Treatment of cells with pharmacologic inhibitors of the mitogen-activated protein kinase or phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase pathways does not affect mannitol-induced FAK dephosphorylation and degradation. However, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase is necessary for IGF-I-mediated protection against FAK alteration. Mannitol treatment also results in the degradation of Akt. Mannitol induces the activation of caspases-3 and -9 in a time course similar to the dephosphorylation and degradation of FAK. Treatment of the cells with ZVAD, a general caspase inhibitor, blocks the mannitol-induced FAK and Akt degradation as well as cell detachment and apoptosis. These results suggest that one of the pathways of mannitol-mediated apoptosis is through the degradation of FAK and Akt and that IGF-I protects the cells from apoptosis by blocking the activation of caspases, which may be responsible for the loss of FAK and Akt.

Abstract
Motility is an important process that contributes to cancer cell spread. Growth factors are key regulators of motility in many cell types. Insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) causes SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells to undergo dynamic morphological changes, leading to the extension of lamellipodia. IGF-I stimulated lamellipodia extension requires signaling through both phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-K) and MAP kinase pathways. IGF-I, over a period of hours, stimulates SH-SY5Y and SHEP neuroblastoma cells to become more motile. While SH-SY5Y and SHEP cells use different insulin receptor substrate (IRS) isoforms to transduce signals from the IGF-I receptor, IGF-I has the same relative effect on the motility of both cell lines. Blocking the PI3-K and MAP kinase pathways attenuates the ability of IGF-I to increase motility. Overexpression of PTEN also attenuates IGF-I mediated motility. These results delineate some of the proximal events in the signaling mechanism utilized by IGF-I to stimulate cell motility.

Abstract
H19-7/IGF-IR cells are rat hippocampal cells expressing a human IGF-I receptor, which differentiate to a neuronal phenotype when stimulated by IGF-I at 39 degrees C. H19-7/IGF-IR cells have low levels of expression of insulin receptor substrate-l (IRS-1), a major substrate of the IGF-IR. IGF-I induces serine-phosphorylation and down-regulation of the endogenous IRS-1 upon differentiation of H19-7/IGF-IR cells. The profound influence of IRS-1 on differentiation of H19-7/IGF-IR cells was confirmed by transfecting these cells with a plasmid expressing mouse IRS-1. Over-expression of wild type IRS-1 in H19-7/IGF-IR cells abolishes IGF-I-induced differentiation at 39 degrees C. A mutant of IRS-1 lacking the PTB domain loses the ability to inhibit the differentiation program. H19-7/IGF-IR/IRS-1 cells at 39 degrees C show a stronger and prolonged activation of Akt, when compared to H19-7/IGF-IR cells. The role of Akt in the inhibition of the differentiation program was confirmed by using the inhibitor of Class I PI3 kinases LY29400, which restores IGF-I-induced differentiation of H19-7/IGF-IR/IRS-1 cells. H19-7/IGF-IR/IRS-1 cells show a strong reduction in MAP kinases signaling, which is related to the superactivation of Akt. This was confirmed by expressing in H19-7/IGF-IR cells a constitutively active Akt, which inhibited MAP kinases activation in these cells. These experiments confirm the importance of MAPK in the mechanism of IGF-I-mediated differentiation of H19-7/IGF-IR cells

Abstract
PTEN is a tumor suppressor that antagonizes phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI3K) by dephosphorylating the D3 position of phosphatidylinositol (3,4,5)-triphosphate (PtdIns-3,4,5-P3). Given the importance of PTEN in regulating PtdIns-3,4,5-P3 levels, we used Affymetrix GeneChip arrays to identify genes regulated by PTEN. PTEN expression rapidly reduced the activity of Akt, which was followed by a G(1) arrest and eventually apoptosis. The gene encoding insulin receptor substrate 2 (IRS-2), a mediator of insulin signaling, was found to be the most induced gene at all time points. A PI3K-specific inhibitor, LY294002, also upregulated IRS-2, providing evidence that it was the suppression of the PI3K pathway that was responsible for the message upregulation. In addition, PTEN, LY294002, and rapamycin, an inhibitor of mammalian target of rapamycin, caused a reduction in the molecular weight of IRS-2 and an increase in the association of IRS-2 with PI3K. Apparently, PTEN inhibits a negative regulator of IRS-2 to upregulate the IRS-2-PI3K interaction. These studies suggest that PtdIns-3,4,5-P3 levels regulate the specific activity and amount of IRS-2 available for insulin signaling.

Abstract
We have recently generated immortalized fetal brown adipocyte cell lines from insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1) knockout mice and demonstrated an impairment in insulin-induced lipid synthesis as compared to wild-type cell lines. In this study, we investigated the consequences of IRS-1 deficiency on mitogenesis in response to insulin. The lack of IRS-1 resulted in the inability of insulin-stimulated IRS-1-deficient brown adipocytes to increase DNA synthesis and enter into S/G2/M phases of the cell cycle. These cells showed a severe impairment in activating mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK1/2) and p42-p44 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) upon insulin stimulation. IRS-1-deficient cells also lacked tyrosine phosphorylation of SHC and showed no SHC-Grb-2 association in response to insulin. The mitogenic response to insulin could be partially restored by enhancing IRS-2 tyrosine phosphorylation and its association with Grb-2 by inhibition of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activity through a feedback mechanism. Reconstitution of IRS-1-deficient brown adipocytes with wild-type IRS-1 restored insulin-induced IRS-1 and SHC tyrosine phosphorylation and IRS-1-Grb-2, IRS-1-SHC, and SHC-Grb-2 associations, leading to the activation of MAPK and enhancement of DNA synthesis. Reconstitution of IRS-1-deficient brown adipocytes with the IRS-1 mutant Tyr895Phe, which lacks IRS-1-Grb-2 binding, restored SHC-IRS-1 association and SHC-Grb-2 association. However, the lack of IRS-1-Grb-2 association impaired MAPK activation and DNA synthesis in insulin-stimulated mutant cells. These data provide strong evidence for an essential role of IRS-1 and its direct association with Grb-2 in the insulin signaling pathway leading to MAPK activation and mitogenesis in brown adipocytes.

Abstract
Insulin receptor substrate (IRS)-1 protein expression is markedly reduced in many insulin-resistant states, although the mechanism for this downregulation is unclear. In this study, we have investigated the early events in the insulin pathway that trigger the degradation of IRS-1. Incubation of the adipocytes with insulin induced a fast electrophoretic mobility shift of IRS-1 and a subsequent degradation of the protein. Wortmannin and rapamycin blocked this mobility shift of IRS-1, maintained the insulin-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1, and blocked its degradation. In contrast, a glycogen synthase kinase 3 inhibitor, a mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular-regulated kinase inhibitor, and various protein kinase C inhibitors had no effect. Incubation with okadaic acid increased the serine/threonine phosphorylation of IRS-1 and its degradation, mimicking insulin, and its effect was prevented by the proteasome inhibitor lactacystin, as well as by rapamycin. Treatment of the cells with the tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor orthovanadate in the presence of insulin or okadaic acid partially inhibited the degradation of IRS-1. We propose that a rapamycin-dependent pathway participates as a negative regulator of IRS-1, increasing its serine/threonine phosphorylation, which triggers degradation. Thus, regulation of serine/threonine versus tyrosine phosphorylation may modulate IRS-1 degradation, affecting insulin sensitivity.

Abstract
The effect of ethanol on insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-I)-mediated signal transduction and functional activation in neuronal cells was examined. In human SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells, ethanol inhibited tyrosine autophosphorylation of the IGF-I receptor. This corresponded to the inhibition of IGF-I-induced phosphorylation of p42/p44 mitogen-activated/extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (MAPK) by ethanol. Insulin-related substrate-2 (IRS-2) and focal adhesion kinase phosphorylation were reduced in the presence of ethanol, which corresponded to the prevention of lamellipodia formation (30 min). By contrast, ethanol had no effect on Shc phosphorylation when measured up to 1 h, and did not affect the association of Grb-2 with Shc. Neurite formation at 24 h was similarly unaffected by ethanol. The data indicate that the IGF-I receptor is a target for ethanol in SH-SY5Y cells However, there is diversity in the sensitivity of signaling elements within the IGF-I receptor tyrosine kinase signaling cascades to ethanol, which can be related to the inhibition of specific functional events in neuronal activation.

Abstract
In recent years, the type 1 insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF-IR) has emerged as a receptor that plays a very important role in the growth of cells, both in vivo and in vitro. The ability of the IGF-IR to induce mitogenesis and to promote survival of cells against a variety of apoptotic agents is well documented. Somewhat less known are other functions of the IGF-IR, like its ability to induce differentiation, to regulate cell size and to affect the organization of the cytoskeleton of cells. This review will focus on these lesser known functions of the IGF-IR. At the same time, we will emphasize how the IGF-IR can send contradictory signals, which depend on different domains of the receptor and the availability of downstream transducing molecules.

Abstract
Grb10 belongs to a small family of adapter proteins that are known to interact with a number of receptor tyrosine kinases and signaling molecules. We have recently demonstrated that the Grb10 SH2 domain interacts with both the Raf-1 and MEK1 kinases. Overexpression of Grb10 genes with mutations in their SH2 domains promotes apoptosis in cultured cells, a phenotype that is reversed by concomitant overexpression of the wild type gene. Using immunofluorescence microscopy and subcellular fractionation we now show that most of the Grb10 molecules are peripherally associated with mitochondria. Following insulin-like growth factor I or serum treatment, small pools of Grb10 can also be found at the plasma membrane and in actin-rich membrane ruffles, whereas overexpression of Grb10 leads to its mislocalization to the cytosol. Two-hybrid analysis shows that the Grb10-binding site on Raf-1 co-localizes with its Ras-binding domain. Finally, we show that the endogenous Grb10 and Raf-1 proteins can be co-immunoprecipitated from a partially purified mitochondrial extract, an interaction that is enhanced following the activation of Raf-1 by ultraviolet radiation. Thus, we infer that Grb10 may regulate signaling between plasma membrane receptors and the apoptosis-inducing machinery on the mitochondrial outer membrane by modulating the anti-apoptotic activity of mitochondrial Raf-1.
