Insulin has been reported to translocate protein kinase C (PKC) in rat adipocytes, and activation of PKC by phorbol esters is known to increase hexose uptake in these cells (1.2). To test the hypothesis that PKC may participate in insulin-stimulated hexose uptake, adipocytes were partially depleted of protein kinase C by overnight phorbol ester treatment, thereby impairing insulin effects on hexose uptake. Purified PKC was then introduced into these PKC-depleted adipocytes by electropermeabilization, and this fully restored insulin-stimulated hexose uptake. These findings provide direct evidence that PKC is required for insulin-stimulated hexose uptake.
据报道,胰岛素可使大鼠脂肪细胞中的蛋白激酶C(PKC)发生易位,并且已知佛波酯激活PKC可增加这些细胞中的己糖摄取(1,2)。为了验证PKC可能参与胰岛素刺激的己糖摄取这一假说,通过过夜佛波酯处理使脂肪细胞中的蛋白激酶C部分缺失,从而损害胰岛素对己糖摄取的作用。然后通过电穿孔将纯化的PKC导入这些PKC缺失的脂肪细胞中,这完全恢复了胰岛素刺激的己糖摄取。这些发现提供了直接证据,表明PKC是胰岛素刺激的己糖摄取所必需的。
