In BC3H-1 myocytes, insulin has been reported to (a) increase diacyglycerol (DAG) production and provoke increases in protein kinase C enzyme activity of crude or DEAE-Sephacel-purified cytosol and membrane fractions in BC3H-1 myocytes (Cooper et al. (1987) J. Biol. Chem. 262, 3633-3739), but (b) decrease cytosolic, and transiently increase membrane, immunoreactive protein kinase C (Acevedo-Duncan et al. (1989) FEBS Lett. 244, 174-176). Presently, we used a Mono-Q column to purify protein kinase C and found that, similar to immunoblot findings, enzyme activity decreased in the cytosol, and increased in the membrane during insulin treatment. Similar differences in protein kinase C activation patterns were observed in rat adipose tissue: insulin stimulated cytosolic protein kinase C enzyme activity as measured after DEAE-Sephacel chromatography, but decreased cytosolic enzyme activity when measured after Mono-Q chromatography or by immunoblotting. We presently evaluated the possibility that insulin-induced increases in endogenous DAG may influence protein kinase C during assay in vitro. Crude cytosol from BC3H-1 myocytes contained 25-35% of total and [3H]glycerol-labelled DAG and insulin increased this DAG. Considerable amounts of [3H]glycerol-labelled DAG were present in insulin-stimulated protein kinase C-containing column fractions following DEAE-Sephacel chromatography of cytosol fractions, whereas lesser amounts were recovered after Mono-Q column chromatography. This difference in recovery of DAG and activation of the enzyme by this endogenous DAG may explain why we were able to discern insulin-induced (presumably translocation 'provoked') decreases in cytosolic protein kinase C in the present Mono-Q column preparations of both BC3H-1 myocytes and rat adipose tissue.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).

D010743 Phospholipids Lipids containing one or more phosphate groups, particularly those derived from either glycerol (phosphoglycerides see GLYCEROPHOSPHOLIPIDS) or sphingosine (SPHINGOLIPIDS). They are polar lipids that are of great importance for the structure and function of cell membranes and are the most abundant of membrane lipids, although not stored in large amounts in the system. Phosphatides,Phospholipid
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.

D002845 Chromatography Techniques used to separate mixtures of substances based on differences in the relative affinities of the substances for mobile and stationary phases. A mobile phase (fluid or gas) passes through a column containing a stationary phase of porous solid or liquid coated on a solid support. Usage is both analytical for small amounts and preparative for bulk amounts. Chromatographies

D004789 Enzyme Activation Conversion of an inactive form of an enzyme to one possessing metabolic activity. It includes 1, activation by ions (activators); 2, activation by cofactors (coenzymes); and 3, conversion of an enzyme precursor (proenzyme or zymogen) to an active enzyme.

D000273 Adipose Tissue Specialized connective tissue composed of fat cells (ADIPOCYTES). It is the site of stored FATS, usually in the form of TRIGLYCERIDES. In mammals, there are two types of adipose tissue, the WHITE FAT and the BROWN FAT. Their relative distributions vary in different species with most adipose tissue being white.
