Insulin stimulates glucose uptake in
skeletal muscle cells and fat cells by promoting the rapid
translocation of GLUT4 glucose transporters to the plasma membrane.
Recent work from our laboratory supports the concept that insulin also
stimulates the intrinsic activity of GLUT4 through a signaling pathway
that includes p38 MAPK. Here we show that regulation of GLUT4 activity
by insulin develops during maturation of skeletal muscle cells into
myotubes in concert with the ability of insulin to stimulate p38 MAPK. In L6 myotubes expressing GLUT4 that carries an exofacial
myc-epitope (L6-GLUT4myc), insulin-stimulated GLUT4myc translocation
equals in magnitude the glucose uptake response. Inhibition of p38 MAPK with SB203580 reduces insulin-stimulated glucose uptake without affecting GLUT4myc translocation. In contrast, in myoblasts, the magnitude of insulin-stimulated glucose uptake is significantly lower
than that of GLUT4myc translocation and is insensitive to SB203580.
Activation of p38 MAPK by insulin is considerably higher in myotubes
than in myoblasts, as is the activation of upstream kinases MKK3/MKK6.
In contrast, the activation of all three Akt isoforms and GLUT4
translocation are similar in myoblasts and myotubes. Furthermore,
GLUT4myc translocation and phosphorylation of regulatory sites on Akt
in L6-GLUT4myc myotubes are equally sensitive to insulin, whereas
glucose uptake and phosphorylation of regulatory sites on p38 MAPK show
lower sensitivity to the hormone. These observations draw additional
parallels between Akt and GLUT4 translocation and between p38 MAPK and
GLUT4 activation. Regulation of GLUT4 activity by insulin develops upon
muscle cell differentiation and correlates with p38 MAPK activation by insulin.
