ABSTRACT |

Dynamic actin remodeling has been implicated in
the translocation of the insulin-responsive glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) to the plasma membrane in adipocytes. Here we show that
fully differentiated 3T3L1 adipocytes have unique cortical
filamentous actin structure, designated Cav-actin (caveolae-associated
F-actin). During 3T3L1 adipocyte differentiation,
rhodamine-phalloidin staining demonstrated the formation of a
cortical actin cytoskeleton that is composed of small dot-like F-actin
spikes lining the inside of the plasma membrane. Double labeling with a
caveolin antibody indicated that these F-actin spikes emanate from
organized rosette-like clusters of caveolae/lipid raft microdomains. In
contrast, there was no obvious relationship between F-actin and
caveolin localization and/or organization in 3T3L1 preadipocytes
(fibroblasts). Treatments of differentiated adipocytes with latrunculin
B, Clostridium difficile toxin B or a dominant-interfering
TC10 mutant (TC10/T31N) disrupted the Cav-actin structure without
significantly affecting the organization of clustered caveolae.
Similarly, disruption of the clustered caveolae with
methyl- Insulin stimulation of glucose uptake in striated muscle and
adipose tissue is achieved through the translocation of intracellular localized GLUT41 protein to
the cell surface membrane (1-5). This primarily results from an
increase in the rate of exocytosis such that ~50% of the GLUT4
protein is redistributed to the plasma membrane (6-9). This highly
complex and dynamic membrane trafficking process requires a
phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase pathway leading to the activation of
protein kinase B/Akt and/or the atypical protein kinase Cs, PKC The actin cytoskeleton is a dynamic filament network that is essential
for multiple cellular functions including cell movement, morphogenesis,
polarity, and cell division (22-24). In particular, treatment of
adipocytes with actin-depolymerizing agents cytochalasin D and
latrunculin A or B and the actin-stabilizing agent jasplakinolide all
inhibit insulin-stimulated GLUT4 translocation (20, 25-28). Furthermore, insulin stimulates dynamic actin remodeling at both the
inner surface of the plasma membrane and in the perinuclear region that
is sensitive to Clostridium difficile toxin B, a Rho family-specific toxin (20, 29). Taken together these data suggest that
dynamic actin remodeling is essential in the GLUT4 translocation process.
Recent evidence has also demonstrated that cholesterol-enriched lipid
raft microdomains serve as critical compartmentalized membrane regions
that generate specific insulin signals (15-17, 30). For example, TC10
is mainly localized to the lipid raft compartment enriched in caveolin,
the major structural protein of a subset of lipid raft microdomains
that forms characteristic Materials--

Adipocytes--
Murine 3T3L1 preadipocytes were purchased from the
American Type Tissue Culture repository and differentiated as described by Min et al. (33). Single cell microinjection, isolation of plasma membrane sheets, and image analysis of 3T3L1 adipocytes were
performed as described previously (34, 35).
Cholesterol Extraction--
Methyl- Recent studies have demonstrated that insulin signaling induces
dynamic actin rearrangements and that prevention of these events by
various types of actin-disrupting reagents, toxins, and inhibitory
proteins result in a significant inhibition of insulin-stimulated GLUT4
translocation to the plasma membrane (20, 25-28). We have also
reported that the organization of the actin cytoskeleton is
dramatically changed during the differentiation of adipocytes from a
typical stress fiber actin structure in fibroblasts to a relatively
thick cortical actin lining the inner surface of the plasma membrane in
adipocytes (20). These findings suggest that the reorganization of
stress fiber actin to that of cortical actin is an important
process of adipocyte differentiation that may be essential for the
development of adipocyte insulin responsiveness.
To further investigate this differentiation-dependent
reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton, we initially compared the intracellular distribution of F-actin with caveolin (Fig.
1). As previously observed,
predifferentiated 3T3L1 fibroblasts displayed long organized F-actin
stress fibers as detected by rhodamine-phalloidin labeling (Fig. 1,
panel e). Caveolin was dispersed throughout the cells with
no apparent relationship to the localization pattern of caveolin 1 (Fig. 1a, panels a, e, and
i). Two days after initiation of adipocyte differentiation,
the amount of F-actin stress fibers visualized at the cell bottom were
markedly reduced, being more diffuse and decreasing in both thickness
and length (Fig. 1a, panel f). At this time,
caveolin began to develop a more organized pattern in some of the cells
(Fig. 1a, panels b, f, and
j). However, after 6 and 10 days of adipocyte
differentiation the stress fiber F-actin became small patches of
punctate actin that were co-localized with the caveolin-positive
clusters that are characteristic of lipid raft microdomains in
adipocytes (Fig. 1a, panels c, d,
g, h, k, and l).
-cyclodextrin also dispersed the Cav-actin structure. These
data demonstrate that this novel Cav-actin structure is organized
through clustered caveolae but that the formation of caveolae-rosettes
are not dependent upon F-actin.

(10-14). In addition, a parallel PI 3-kinase-independent pathway leading to the activation of small GTP-binding protein TC10
appears to function in concert with the PI 3-kinase pathway (15-17).
Although the specific sites of action and/or the molecular targets of
these insulin signaling cascades that lead to GLUT4 translocation have
remained unclear, both PI 3-kinase and TC10 have been reported to play
an important role in regulating actin cytoskeleton in various cell
types (18-20). For example, TC10 is a member of Rho family GTPases
that has been reported to be a potent actin regulator in various cell
types including adipocytes (18-21).
-shaped invaginations of the plasma
membrane termed caveolae (31, 32). In adipocytes, these
caveolin-containing lipid raft microdomains are necessary for the
activation of TC10 through a CAP-Cbl signaling pathway (15, 16).
Based upon these data, we hypothesized that lipid microdomains might
function as pivotal signaling platforms regulating and/or
assembly-specific cellular machinery necessary for insulin action. In
this article we demonstrate that adipocytes have a uniquely organized
F-actin structure emanating from the caveolin-enriched clustered lipid
raft microdomains at the plasma membrane.

Co-localization of caveolae-rosettes and
F-actin during adipocyte differentiation. a, 3T3L1
cells were allowed to reached confluency (day 0, panels a,
e, and i) and subjected to the adipocyte
differentiation protocol for 2 (panels b, f, and
j), 6 (panels c, g, and k),
and 10 days (panels d, h, and l). The
cells were then fixed and subjected to confocal fluorescent microscopy
using a caveolin 1 antibody (panels a-d) and
rhodamine-phalloidin (panels e-h). The merged images are
presented in panels i-l. These are representative images
from experiments independently performed three times.
b, fully differentiated adipocytes (day 8) were subjected to
high resolution confocal fluorescent microscopy for magnified images
using a caveolin 1 antibody (panels a and d) or
rhodamine-phalloidin (panels b and c). The merged
images are presented in panels c and f. The
images for panels a-c were taken at ×100 magnification,
and those in panels d-f were magnified an additional ×2.6
in the boxed region. These are representative images from
experiments independently performed five times. Arrows
indicate where F-actin appears to localize along the inner
circumference of the large caveolae-rosettes; arrowheads
indicate where F-actin sometimes fills the center regions of the
smaller caveolae-rosettes.
We and others have found that individual caveolae in differentiated 3T3L1 adipocytes are often clustered into ring-like arrays (caveolae-rosettes) that can be visualized by fluorescent microscopy (16, 36, 37). Consistent with these data, these ring-like caveolae organized structures were observed in the plasma membrane of differentiated 3T3L1 adipocytes (Fig. 1b, panel a). A similar pattern was also observed in the labeling of F-actin with rhodamine-phalloidin (Fig. 1b, panels b and c). At higher magnification the caveolae-rosette structures are readily apparent and are co-localized with rhodamine-phalloidin labeling of F-actin (Fig. 1b, panels d-f). In many cases, the F-actin appears to localize along the inner circumference of the large caveolae-rosettes (Fig. 1b, panels d-f, arrows) and sometimes fills the center regions of the smaller caveolae-rosettes (Fig. 1b, panels d-f, arrowheads). We have also confirmed that the rhodamine-phalloidin staining of these structures represents polymerized actin by comparison with the expression of EGFP-actin (data not shown). Thus, these data suggest that the caveolae-rosette structures play a role in the formation and/or localization of F-actin at the plasma membrane of differentiated adipocytes.
Previous studies have demonstrated that the small GTP-binding protein
TC10 is localized to caveolae-rosettes and inhibits insulin-stimulated
GLUT4 translocation (15, 16). Since Rho family members are well
established to regulate F-actin, we examined the effect of
dominant-interfering TC10 (TC10/T31N) expression on Cav-actin (Fig.
2). The expressed TC10/T31N protein
displayed a plasma membrane localization similar to that of caveolin
and importantly did not disrupt the caveolae-rosette structures (Fig. 2, panels a and b). However, rhodamine-phalloidin
staining demonstrated a near complete loss of Cav-actin structure (Fig.
2, panels c and d). The disruption of Cav-actin
is consistent with total loss of cortical actin that also occurs in
adipocytes expressing TC10/T31N (20).
|
The fact that expression of TC10/T31N disrupts the Cav-actin structure
without significantly affecting caveolae-rosettes indicates that the
clustered organization of caveolae are not dependent upon F-actin. To
test this prediction, we next examined the effect of latrunculin B, a
red sea sponge toxin that binds to monomeric actin and prevents its
polymerization to F-actin (Fig. 3). As previously observed, differentiated adipocytes displayed the typical organization of caveolae-rosettes with the co-localization of F-actin
(Fig. 3, panels a, e, and i).
Latrunculin B treatment of differentiated adipocytes for 2 h
resulted in a marked loss of the Cav-actin structure at the bottom of
the cell with little effect on the caveolae-rosette organization (Fig.
3, panels b, f, and j). As previously
reported (20), under these conditions there was also a complete
disruption of cortical actin lining the inner surface of the plasma
membrane (data not shown). In addition, following removal of
latrunculin B the Cav-actin structure reassembled, consistent with
these structures undergoing continuous remodeling (data not shown).
Similarly the Cav-actin structures were disrupted by toxin B treatment
without significant changes in the organization of the
caveolae-rosettes (Fig. 3, panels c, g, and
k). This also occurred concomitant with the disappearance of
the F-actin staining at the center of the cells (data not shown). In
contrast, cholesterol depletion with M
CD effectively disrupted the
localization of F-actin and, in parallel, dispersed the
caveolae-rosette organization (Fig. 3, panels d,
h, and l). Together these data indicate that the
caveolae-rosettes are responsible for organization of F-actin into the
Cav-actin structure.
|
At present, the functional role of this unusual adipocyte Cav-actin
structure has not yet been defined. Nevertheless several lines of
evidence suggest that Cav-actin may play an important role in the
insulin regulation of GLUT4 translocation. For example, depolymerization or stabilization of F-actin inhibits
insulin-stimulated GLUT4 translocation (20, 25, 26, 27). TC10
inhibition of GLUT4 translocation only occurs when TC10 is targeted to
adipocyte caveolae-rosettes in parallel with disruption of cortical
actin (16). Furthermore, cholesterol deletion or interference with caveolae-rosette assembly also prevents insulin-stimulated GLUT4 translocation (16, 38). These findings coupled with the apparent necessary role of plasma membrane lipid raft microdomains in the assembly of the CAP-Cbl-TC10 signaling cascade (15, 17) provide compelling evidence for this pathway in the control of Cav-actin function.
