title: Potentiation of insulin-related signal transduction by a novel protein-tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor, Et-3,4-dephostatin, on cultured 3T3-L1 adipocytes.
abstract: We previously isolated dephostatin from Streptomyces as a novel inhibitor of CD45-associated protein-tyrosine phosphatase. We prepared Et-3,4-dephostatin as a stable analogue and found it to inhibit PTP-1B and SHPTP-1 protein-tyrosine phosphatases selectively but not to inhibit CD45 and leukocyte common antigen-related phosphatase ones effectively. Et-3,4-dephostatin increased the tyrosine phosphorylation of the insulin receptor and insulin receptor substrate-1 with or without insulin in differentiated 3T3-L1 mouse adipocytes. The increase of tyrosine phosphorylation by Et-3,4-dephostatin was more prominent in 6-h than in 30-min incubation. It also increased phosphorylation and activation of Akt with or without insulin. Et-3,4-dephostatin also enhanced translocation of glucose transporter 4 from the cytoplasm to the membrane and 2-deoxy-glucose transport. Et-3,4-dephostatin-induced glucose uptake was inhibited by SB203580, a p38 inhibitor, but not by PD98059, a MEK inhibitor, or by cycloheximide as insulin-induced uptake. Interestingly, although LY294002, a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitor, inhibited the insulin-induced glucose uptake completely, it only partially inhibited the Et-3,4-dephostatin-induced uptake. It also blocked insulin-induced glucose transporter 4 translocation but not the Et-3,4-dephostatin-induced one. The increase in c-Cbl tyrosine phosphorylation caused by Et-3,4-dephostatin was stronger than that in insulin receptor phosphorylation. These observations indicate that a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-independent pathway involving c-Cbl is more important in Et-3,4-dephostatin-induced glucose uptake than in insulin-induced uptake. Et-3,4-dephostatin showed an in vivo antidiabetic effect in terms of reducing the high blood glucose level in KK-A(y) mice after oral administration. Thus, Et-3,4-dephostatin potentiated insulin-related signal transductions in cultured mouse adipocytes and showed an antidiabetic effect in mice.
