K562 백혈구암 세포의 phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate(PMA)에 의한 대핵세포로의 분화과정에서 heat shock proteins(HSPs)와 glucose-regulated proteins(GRPs)의 발현을 조사하였다. PMA에 의한 K562 세포의 분화 특징은 세포성장의 억제, 형태학적 변화, gpllIa의 발현 증가, c-myc 발현의 감소 등으로 나타난다. PMA에 의한 대핵세포 분화과정에서, HSP90A, HSP90B 그리고 HSP28 mRNA와 단백질 합성은 현저히 감소하는 반면, GRP78/BiP와 GRP94의 mRNA 합성은 증가하였다. 한편 HSP7OA와 HSP7OB의 mRNA 합성은 감소하였지만, HSP70 단백질의 합성은 변함이 없었다. 이러한 결과는 HSPs와 GRPs가 K562 세포의 증식 또는 대핵세포 분화 과정에서 특이한 역할을 할 것임을 시사하고 있다.

The 94 KDa glucose-resulsted Protein (SH 94), one of stress Proteins, is a Ca2+-binding protein in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). In this study, the possible effect of Ca2+ on the native conformation of grp 94 was examined. When the purified grp 94 was analyzed by Sel filtration in the presence of either EGTA or CaCl2, it was eluted with apparent molecular weight (MW) of 100 KDa in both cases. When similarly analyzed with microtome or cell Ivsate, however, srp 94 was eluted with apparent IW of 200 KDa in the presence of E6TA, while with apparent MW of 100 KDa in the presence of CaCl2, indicating possible association of grp 94 with one or more other proteins in the absence of CaCl2. Consequently, immunoprecipitation with anti-grp 94 was carried out to determine which proteins specifically interact with grp 94. It is sho%un that srp 94 may interact, in a Ca2+_dependent manner. with other proteins including BiP (grp 78) which is also a stress protein in the ER.

Glucose-regulated proteins (grp's), srp94 3nd grp78/BiP, are a group of stress proteins which are highly synthesized in cells exposed to a variety of stressful agents including tunicamycin 3nd Ca2+ ionophore. Grp78/BiP is hon to function as a molecular chaperone which regulates the folding and assembly of secretory or membrane proteins, but the biological function of grp941 remains to be elucidated. In this study, we have examined the intracellular distribution of grV's and the function of srp94. Grp's are resident in the endoplasmic reticulum (ERI 3nd a specific sequence (Lys-Asp-Glu-Leu) at their C-terminus is known to be responsible for their retention within the ER. However, it has been unclear whether upon disturbance of cellular Caa+ homeostasis by the Ca2+ ionophore, grp94 is retained within the ER or secreted into the medium. In this study, we showed that in the presence of C3a+ ionophore, grp94 and gif78/BiP are present in the cells, mainly within the ER. We have also investigated whether grp94 might function as a molecular chaperone. Here we showed that in the immunoglobulin (Ig)-secreting hvbridom3 cells, grp94 transientlY interacts with fully glycosylated Is heavy chain, suggesting that grpg94 may be involved in facilitating the folding and assembly of Ig heavy chains.

The aim of this study was to analyze the proteome expression of bovine satellite cells from longissimus dorsi (LD), deep pectoral (DP) and semitendinosus (ST) muscle depots during in vitro myogenic differentiation. Proteomic profiling by twodimensional gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry of differentiating satellite cells revealed a total of 38 proteins that were differentially regulated among the three depots. Among differentially regulated proteins, metabolic proteins like lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), malate dehydrogenase (MDH) were found to be up regulated in ST, while alpha-enolase (NNE) in LD and DP depot satellite cells were down regulated. Also, our analysis found that there was a prominent up regulation of cytoskeletal proteins like actin, actincapping protein and transgelin along with chaperone proteins like heat shock protein beta 1 (HSPB 1) and T-complex protein 1 (TCP-1). Among other up regulated proteins, LIM domain containing protein, annexin 2 and Rho GDP-dissociation inhibitor 1 (Rho GDI) are observed, which were already proven to be involved in the myogeneis. More interestingly, satellite cells from ST depot were found to have a higher myotube formation rate than the cells from the other two depots. Taken together, our results demonstrated that, proteins involved in glucose metabolism, cytoskeletal modeling and protein folding plays a key role in the myogenic differentiation of bovine satellite cells.

Uptake of circulating glucose into the cells happens via the insulin-mediated signalling pathway, which translocates the glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) vesicles from the intracellular compartment to the plasma membrane. Rab GTPases are involved in this vesicle trafficking, where Rab GTPases-activating proteins (RabGAP) enhance the GTP to GDP hydrolysis. TBC1D4 (AS160) and TBC1D1 are functional RabGAPs in the adipocytes and the skeletonal myocytes, respectively. These proteins contain two phosphotyrosine-binding domains (PTBs) at the amino-terminus of the catalytic RabGAP domain. The second PTB has been shown to interact with the cytoplasmic region of the insulin-regulated aminopeptidase (IRAP) of the GLUT4 vesicle. In this study, we quantitatively measured the ${\sim}{\mu}M$ affinity ($K_D$) between TBC1D4 PTB and IRAP using isothermal titration calorimetry, and further showed that IRAP residues 1-49 are the major region mediating this interaction. We also demonstrated that the IRAP residues 1-15 are necessary but not sufficient for the PTB interaction.

Stress-inducible proteins may function in part as molecular chaperones, protecting cells from damage due to various stresses and helping to maintain homeostasis. We examined the mRNA expression patterns of a 68-kDa heat shock protein (HSP68) and 78-kDa glucose-regulated protein (GRP78) in relation to physiological changes in Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas under osmotic stress. Expression of HSP68 and GRP78 mRNA in the gill significantly increased until 48 h in a hypersaline environment (HRE) and 72 h in a hyposaline environment (HOE), and then decreased. Osmolality and the concentrations of $Na^+$, $Cl^-$, and $Ca^{2+}$ in the hemolymph of HRE oysters significantly increased until 72 h (the highest value) and then gradually decreased; in HOE oysters, these values significantly decreased until 72 h (the lowest value), and then increased. These results suggest that osmolality and $Na^+$, $Cl^-$, and $Ca^{2+}$ concentrations were stabilized by HSP68 and GRP78, and indicate that these two stress-induced proteins play an important role in regulating the metabolism and protecting the cells of the Pacific oysters exposed to salinity changes.

In the present study, we examined the effect of pertussis toxin (PTX) administered centrally in a variety of stress-induced blood glucose level. Mice were exposed to stress after the pretreatment of PTX (0.05 or 0.1 mg) i.c.v. or i.t. once for 6 days. Blood glucose level was measured at 0, 30, 60 and 120 min after stress stimulation. The blood glucose level was increased in all stress groups. The blood glucose level reached at maximum level after 30 min of stress stimulation and returned to a normal level after 2 h of stress stimulation in restraint stress, physical, and emotional stress groups. The blood glucose level induced by cold-water swimming stress was gradually increased up to 1 h and returned to the normal level. The intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) or intrathecal (i.t.) pretreatment with PTX, a $G_i$ inhibitor, alone produced a hypoglycemia and almost abolished the elevation of the blood level induced by stress stimulation. The central pretreatment with PTX caused a reduction of plasma insulin level, whereas plasma corticosterone level was further up-regulated in all stress models. Our results suggest that the hyperglycemia produced by physical stress, emotional stress, restraint stress, and the cold-water swimming stress appear to be mediated by activation of centrally located PTX-sensitive G proteins. The reduction of blood glucose level by PTX appears to due to the reduction of plasma insulin level. The reduction of blood glucose level by PTX was accompanied by the reduction of plasma insulin level. Plasma corticosterone level up-regulation by PTX in stress models may be due to a blood glucose homeostatic mechanism.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: The anti-diabetic activity of pear through inhibition of ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ has been demonstrated. However, little has been reported about the effect of pear on insulin signaling pathway in obesity. The aims of this study are to establish pear pomace 50% ethanol extract (PPE)-induced improvement of insulin sensitivity and characterize its action mechanism in 3T3-L1 cells and high-fat diet (HFD)-fed C57BL/6 mice. MATERIALS/METHODS: Lipid accumulation, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) secretion and glucose uptake were measure in 3T3-L1 cells. Mice were fed HFD (60% kcal from fat) and orally ingested PPE once daily for 8 weeks and body weight, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), and serum lipids were measured. The expression of proteins involved in insulin signaling pathway was evaluated by western blot assay in 3T3-L1 cells and adipose tissue of mice. RESULTS: In 3T3-L1 cells, without affecting cell viability and lipid accumulation, PPE inhibited MCP-1 secretion, improved glucose uptake, and increased protein expression of phosphorylated insulin receptor substrate 1 [p-IRS-1, ($Tyr^{632})$)], p-Akt, and glucose transporter type 4 (GLUT4). Additionally, in HFD-fed mice, PPE reduced body weight, HOMA-IR, and serum lipids including triglyceride and LDL-cholesterol. Furthermore, in adipose tissue, PPE up-regulated GLUT4 expression and expression ratio of p-IRS-1 ($Tyr^{632})/IRS$, whereas, down-regulated p-IRS-1 ($Ser^{307})/IRS$. CONCLUSIONS: Our results collectively show that PPE improves glucose uptake in 3T3-L1 cells and insulin sensitivity in mice fed a HFD through stimulation of the insulin signaling pathway. Furthermore, PPE-induced improvement of insulin sensitivity was not accompanied with lipid accumulation.

C57BL/6J mice have been widely used as a diet-induced obesity model because they trigger common features of the human metabolic syndrome. In the present study, C57BL/6J male mice were fed either a high-fat diet (HFD) or normal diet (ND) during a 24-week period, and then the age-dependent liver proteome of mice in two groups was analyzed using 2-DE combined with MALDI-TOF-MS. Among identified proteins, up-regulated proteins were subdivided to early (during the first 4 weeks) and late (20~24 weeks) markers that played a role in diet-induced obesity development. Important early markers included ketohexokinase and prohibitin, and late markers included the 75 kDa glucose-regulated protein, citrate synthase, and selenium-binding liver protein. Of these, the 75 kDa glucosere-gulated protein has already been linked to obesity; however, prohibitin protein involved in obesity was identified for the first time in this study. In order to validate the proteomic results and gain insight into metabolic changes between the two groups, we further confirmed the expression pattern of some proteins of interest by Western blot analysis. Combined results of proteomic analysis with Western blot analysis revealed that antioxidant enzymes were progressively decreased, whereas cytoskeletal proteins were time-dependently increased in HFD mice.
