title: Essential role of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase in insulin-induced activation and phosphorylation of the cGMP-inhibited cAMP phosphodiesterase in rat adipocytes. Studies using the selective inhibitor wortmannin.
abstract: Incubation of rat adipocytes with wortmannin, a potent and selective phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) inhibitor, completely blocked the antilipolytic action of insulin (IC50 = 100 nM), the insulin-induced activation and phosphorylation of cGMP-inhibited cAMP phosphodiesterase (cGI-PDE) as well as the activation of the insulin-stimulated cGI-PDE kinase (IC50 = 10-30 nM). No direct effects of the inhibitor on the insulin-stimulated cGI-PDE kinase, the cGI-PDE and the hormone-sensitive lipase were observed. These data suggest that activation of PI 3-kinase upstream of the insulin-stimulated cGI-PDE kinase in the antilipolytic insulin signalchain has an essential role for insulin-induced cGI-PDE activation/phosphorylation and anti-lipolysis.
