The effect of prostaglandin F2alpha (PGF2alpha) on glucose transport in differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes was examined. Whereas PGF2alpha had little influence on insulin-stimulated 2-deoxyglucose uptake, it increased basal glucose uptake in a time- and dose-dependent manner, reaching maximum at approximately 8 h. The long-term effect of PGF2alpha on glucose transport was inhibited by both cycloheximide and actinomycin D. In concord, while the content of GLUT4 protein was not altered, immunoblot and Northern blot analyses revealed that both GLUT1 protein and mRNA levels were increased by exposure of cells to PGF2alpha. The effect of PGF2alpha on glucose uptake was inhibited by GF109203X, a selective protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor. In addition, in cells depleted of diacylglycerol-sensitive PKC by prolonged treatment with 4beta-phorbol 12beta-myristate 13alpha-acetate (PMA), the stimulatory effects of PGF2alpha on glucose transport and GLUT1 mRNA accumulation were both inhibited. In accord, PMA was shown to stimulate GLUT1 mRNA accumulation. To further investigate if PKC may be activated by PGF2alpha, we tested several diacylglycerol-sensitive PKC isozymes and found that PGF2alpha was able to activate PKCepsilon. Taken together, these results indicate that PGF2alpha may enhance glucose transport in 3T3-L1 adipocytes by stimulating GLUT1 expression via a PKC-dependent mechanism.

D011493 Protein Kinase C An serine-threonine protein kinase that requires the presence of physiological concentrations of CALCIUM and membrane PHOSPHOLIPIDS. The additional presence of DIACYLGLYCEROLS markedly increases its sensitivity to both calcium and phospholipids. The sensitivity of the enzyme can also be increased by PHORBOL ESTERS and it is believed that protein kinase C is the receptor protein of tumor-promoting phorbol esters.

D003513 Cycloheximide Antibiotic substance isolated from streptomycin-producing strains of Streptomyces griseus. It acts by inhibiting elongation during protein synthesis. Actidione,Cicloheximide
D003609 Dactinomycin A compound composed of a two CYCLIC PEPTIDES attached to a phenoxazine that is derived from STREPTOMYCES parvullus. It binds to DNA and inhibits RNA synthesis (transcription), with chain elongation more sensitive than initiation, termination, or release. As a result of impaired mRNA production, protein synthesis also declines after dactinomycin therapy.
