Abstract/OtherAbstract:
To explore the effect of LYRM1 over-expression on basal and insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in rat skeletal muscle cells, and to understand the underlying mechanisms, Rat myoblasts (L6) transfected with either an empty expression vector (pcDNA3.1Myc/His B) or a LYRM1 expression vector were differentiated into myotubes. Glucose uptake was determined by measuring 2-deoxy-D-[(3)H] glucose uptake into L6 myotubes. Western blotting was performed to assess the translocation of insulin-sensitive glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4). It was also used to measure the phosphorylation and total protein contents of insulin-signaling proteins, such as the insulin receptor (IR), insulin receptor substrate (IRS)-1, phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) p85, Akt, ERK1/2, P38, and JNK. LYRM1 over-expression in L6 myotubes reduced insulin-stimulated glucose uptake and impaired insulin-stimulated GLUT4 translocation. It also diminished insulin-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1, PI3K (p85), and serine phosphorylation of Akt without affecting the phosphorylation of IR, ERK1/2, P38, and JNK. LYRM1 regulates the function of IRS-1, PI3K, and Akt, and decreases GLUT4 translocation and glucose uptake in response to insulin. These observations highlight the potential role of LYRM1 in glucose homeostasis and possibly in the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes related to obesity.
