Insulin resistance is a manifestation of both
diabetes mellitus and obesity. However, the mechanism is still not
clearly identified. Herein, we describe a procedure that allows us to
evaluate the development of insulin resistance in 3T3-L1 adipocytes.
Under these conditions, we show that the concentration of insulin
required for 50% desensitization of glucose transport activity is 100 pM; maximal desensitization could be achieved with 1 nM. This demonstrates for the first time that 3T3-L1
adipocytes develop insulin resistance in response to physiologically
relevant concentrations of insulin. Glucose (or glucosamine), in
addition to insulin, was required to establish desensitization. The
expression of GLUT4 protein decreased by 50% with exposure to 10 nM insulin. The dose-dependent loss of GLUT4
was similar to the dose dependence for insulin-resistant transport
activity. Translocation in the presence of acute insulin was apparent,
but the extent of recruitment directly reflected the decrease in GLUT4
protein. GLUT4 mRNA also declined, but the ED50 was
approximately 5 nM. Together, these data suggest that the
loss of GLUT4 protein likely underlies the cause of desensitization. However, the loss of GLUT4 protein did not correlate with the loss in
GLUT4 mRNA suggesting post-translational control of GLUT4 expression.
