We examined insulin's uptake and transendothelial transport (TET) by cultured bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAECs) in order to: a) ascertain whether insulin accumulates within the cells to concentrations greater than in the media; b) compare the TET of insulin to that of inulin (using the latter as a tracer for passive transport or leak); and c) determine whether insulin's TET depended on insulin action. Using (125) I-insulin at physiologic concentrations, we found that BAECs accumulate insulin >5-fold above media concentrations and that the TET of insulin, but not inulin, is saturable and requires intact PI-3-kinase and MEK-kinase signaling. We conclude that the insulin receptor and downstream signaling from the receptor regulate endothelial insulin transport. Based on comparison of the kinetics of BAEC insulin uptake with insulin TET, we suggest that insulin uptake is rate limiting for insulin TET. © 2013 John Wiley & Sons Ltd. |
