This study was designed to evaluate the role of phosphatidylinositol (PI3) kinase, p70 S6 kinase (p70S6K), and mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase in the regulation of muscle protein metabolism by insulin and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I). Wortmannin and LY294002 (inhibitors of P13 kinase) both abolished the stimulation of protein synthesis by insulin or IGF-I in epitrochlearis muscle incubated in vitro. LY294002 also totally reversed the antiproteolytic action of these hormones. Although p70S6K activation by insulin and IGF-I may be mediated by PI3 kinase in epitrochlearis muscle, the specific inhibition of this kinase by rapamycin caused only partial (25%) inhibition of the stimulation of protein synthesis by these two hormones. Rapamycin had no effect on proteolysis. Finally, insulin or IGF-I did not stimulate MAP kinase activity at any of the times tested (2-25 min), suggesting that this protein kinase was not directly involved in the regulation of muscle protein metabolism. These observations provide evidence that PI3 kinase and p70S6K, but not MAP kinase, play a role in the regulation of muscle protein turnover by insulin or IGF-I.

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).

D007334	Insulin-Like Growth Factor I	A well-characterized basic peptide believed to be secreted by the liver and to circulate in the blood. It has growth-regulating, insulin-like, and mitogenic activities. This growth factor has a major, but not absolute, dependence on GROWTH HORMONE. It is believed to be mainly active in adults in contrast to INSULIN-LIKE GROWTH FACTOR II, which is a major fetal growth factor.
