RESUMO
The role of phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase in specific aspects of insulin signaling was explored in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Inhibition of PI 3-kinase activity by LY294002 or wortmannin significantly enhanced basal and insulin-stimulated GTPase-activating protein (GAP) activity in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Furthermore, removal of the inhibitory influence of PI 3-kinase on GAP resulted in dose-dependent decreases in the ability of insulin to stimulate p21ras. This effect was specific to adipocytes, as inhibition of PI 3-kinase did not influence GAP in either 3T3-L1 fibroblasts, Rat-1 fibroblasts, or CHO cells. Immunodepletion of either of the two subunits of the PI 3-kinase (p85 or p110) yielded similar activation of GAP, suggesting that catalytic activity of p110 plays an important role in controlling GAP activity in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Inhibition of PI 3-kinase activity in 3T3-L1 adipocytes resulted in abrogation of insulin-stimulated glucose uptake and thymidine incorporation. In contrast, effects of insulin on glycogen synthase and mitogen-activated protein kinase activity were inhibited only at higher concentrations of LY294002. It appears that in adipocytes, P1 3-kinase prevents activation of GAP. Inhibition of PI 3-kinase activity or immunodepletion of either one of its subunits results in activation of GAP and decreases in GTP loading of p21ras.
