Membrane glycoprotein PC-1 inhibits insulin receptor (IR) tyrosine kinase activity and subsequent cellular signaling, PC-1 content is elevated in muscle and adipose tissue from insulin-resistant subjects, and its elevation correlates with in vivo insulin resistance, To determine whether elevated PC-1 content is a primary cause of insulin resistance, we have now measured PC-1 content in cultured skin fibroblasts from nonobese nondiabetic insulin-resistant subjects and found that 1) PC-1 content was significantly higher in these cells when compared with cells from insulin-sensitive subjects (6.7 +/- 0.9 vs. 3.1 +/- 0.6 ng/0.1 mg protein, mean +/- SE, P < 0.01); 2) PC-1 content in fibroblasts was highly correlated with PC-1 content in muscle tissue (r = 0.95, P = 0.01); 3) PC-1 content in fibroblasts negatively correlated with both decreased in vivo insulin sensitivity and decreased in vitro IR autophosphorylation; and 4) in cells from insulin-resistant subjects, insulin stimulation of glycogen synthetase was decreased, These studies indicate, therefore, that the elevation of PC-1 content may be a primary factor in the cause of insulin resistance
Elevated PC-1 content in cultured fibroblasts correlates with decreased in vivo and in vitro insulin action in non diabetic subjects: evidence that PC-1 may be an intrinsic factor in impaired insulin receptor signaling

Abstract
Membrane glycoprotein PC-1 inhibits insulin receptor (IR) tyrosine kinase activity and subsequent cellular signaling, PC-1 content is elevated in muscle and adipose tissue from insulin-resistant subjects, and its elevation correlates with in vivo insulin resistance, To determine whether elevated PC-1 content is a primary cause of insulin resistance, we have now measured PC-1 content in cultured skin fibroblasts from nonobese nondiabetic insulin-resistant subjects and found that 1) PC-1 content was significantly higher in these cells when compared with cells from insulin-sensitive subjects (6.7 +/- 0.9 vs. 3.1 +/- 0.6 ng/0.1 mg protein, mean +/- SE, P < 0.01); 2) PC-1 content in fibroblasts was highly correlated with PC-1 content in muscle tissue (r = 0.95, P = 0.01); 3) PC-1 content in fibroblasts negatively correlated with both decreased in vivo insulin sensitivity and decreased in vitro IR autophosphorylation; and 4) in cells from insulin-resistant subjects, insulin stimulation of glycogen synthetase was decreased, These studies indicate, therefore, that the elevation of PC-1 content may be a primary factor in the cause of insulin resistanceFile | Dimensione | Formato | |
