| Popis: | INTRODUCTION: Akt (PKB) is the downstream effector of insulin and IGF-1 and regulates multiple targets that control cell survival and growth. Akt is phosphorylated at Thr-308 (activating) and Ser-473 (regulatory) sites by PI3-kinase dependent kinase-1 (PDK1) and TOR2-rictor/PDK2 respectively. When energy is abundant Akt supports cell growth by stimulating TORC1 and inhibiting GSK3β. When energy and insulin are low such as during ischemia, AMPK is activated and depresses TORC1 by activating the repressive TSC1/2 complex. It is not known how AMPK affects TORC2 in this setting. HYPOTHESIS: Under low energy states AMPK promotes survival by differentially regulating TORC1 and 2 thereby maintaining Akt phosphorylation and survival in the absence of insulin. METHODS: Cardiac myocytes (CM) were subjected to glucose and insulin-free incubation for 4h and the activities of insulin signaling components were measured by western blot and co-IP. Survival was measured ± siRNAs by Hoechst/PI staining. RESULTS: After 4h of glucose/insulin deprivation there was increased phosphorylation of Akt-Thr-308 (11.2±2.4; n=6, p CONCLUSIONS: AMPK maintains phosphorylation of Akt under low energy states in the absence of insulin. The mechanism involves IRS-1 phosphorylation by AMPK and enhanced binding of rictor and TSC1 to PI3K.
