Uncarboxylated Osteocalcin Enhances Glucose Uptake Ex Vivo in Insulin-Stimulated Mouse Oxidative But Not Glycolytic Muscle.
Calcified Tissue International 2018 August
Uncarboxylated osteocalcin (ucOC) stimulates muscle glucose uptake in mice EDL and soleus muscles. However, whether ucOC also exerts a similar effect in insulin-stimulated muscles in a muscle type-specific manner is currently unclear. We aimed to test the hypothesis that, with insulin stimulation, ucOC per se has a greater effect on oxidative muscle compared with glycolytic muscle, and to explore the underlying mechanisms. Mouse (C57BL6, male 9-12 weeks) extensor digitorum longus (EDL) and soleus muscles were isolated and longitudinally split into halves. Muscle samples were treated with varying doses of recombinant ucOC (0, 0.3, 1, 3, 30 ng/ml), followed by insulin addition. Muscle glucose uptake, protein phosphorylation and total expression of protein kinase B (Akt), Akt substrate of 160 kDa (AS160), extracellular signal-regulated kinase isoform 2 (ERK2), and adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase subunit α (AMPKα) were assessed. ucOC treatment at 30 ng/ml enhanced muscle glucose uptake in insulin-stimulated soleus, a mainly oxidative muscle (17.5%, p < 0.05), but not in EDL-a mostly glycolytic muscle. In insulin-stimulated soleus only, ucOC treatment (3 and 30 ng/ml) increased phosphorylation of AS160 and ERK2, but not Akt or AMPKα. The ucOC-induced increase in ERK2 phosphorylation in soleus was not associated with the increase in glucose uptake or AS160 phosphorylation. ucOC enhances glucose uptake and AS160 phosphorylation in insulin-stimulated oxidative but not glycolytic muscle, via upstream mechanisms which appear to be independent of ERK or AMPK.
