We have investigated the mechanism by which high
concentrations of glucose inhibit insulin stimulation of glycogen
synthase. In NIH-3T3-L1 adipocytes cultured in low glucose (LG; 2.5 mM), the half-maximal activation concentration
(A0.5) of glucose 6-phosphate was 162 ± 15 µM. Exposure to either high glucose (HG; 20 mM) or glucosamine (GlcN; 10 mM) increased the
A0.5 to 558 ± 61 or 612 ± 34 µM.
Insulin treatment with LG reduced the A0.5 to 96 ± 10 µM, but cells cultured with HG or GlcN were
insulin-resistant (A0.5 = 287 ± 27 or
561 ± 77 µM). Insulin resistance was not explained by increased phosphorylation of synthase. In fact, culture with GlcN
decreased phosphorylation to 61% of the levels seen in cells cultured
in LG. Hexosamine flux and subsequent enzymatic protein O-glycosylation have been postulated to mediate nutrient
sensing and insulin resistance. Glycogen synthase is modified by
O-linked N-acetylglucosamine, and the level of
glycosylation increased in cells treated with HG or GlcN. Treatment of
synthase in vitro with protein phosphatase 1 increased
basal synthase activity from cells cultured in LG to 54% of total
activity but was less effective with synthase from cells cultured in HG
or GlcN, increasing basal activity to only 13 or 16%. After enzymatic
removal of O-GlcNAc, however, subsequent digestion with
phosphatase increased basal activity to over 73% for LG, HG, and GlcN.
We conclude that O-GlcNAc modification of glycogen synthase
results in the retention of the enzyme in a glucose
6-phosphate-dependent state and contributes to the reduced
activation of the enzyme in insulin resistance.
