    Insulin stimulates glucose uptake in adipose tissue and skeletal muscle by inducing plasma membrane translocation of the glucose transporter GLUT4. Although the small GTPase Rac1 is a key regulator downstream of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) and the protein kinase Akt2 in skeletal muscle, it remains unclear whether Rac1 also regulates glucose uptake in white adipocytes. Herein, we investigated the physiological role of Rac1 in white adipocytes by employing adipocyte-specific rac1 knockout (adipo-rac1-KO) mice. Subcutaneous and epididymal white adipose tissues (WATs) in adipo-rac1-KO mice showed significant reductions in size and weight. Actually, white adipocytes lacking Rac1 were smaller than controls. Insulin-stimulated glucose uptake and GLUT4 translocation were abrogated in rac1-KO white adipocytes. On the other hand, GLUT4 translocation was augmented by constitutively activated PI3K or Akt2 in control, but not in rac1-KO, white adipocytes. Similarly, to skeletal muscle, the involvement of another small GTPase RalA downstream of Rac1 was demonstrated. In addition, mRNA levels of various lipogenic enzymes were down-regulated in rac1-KO white adipocytes. Collectively, these results suggest that Rac1 is implicated in insulin-dependent glucose uptake and lipogenesis in white adipocytes, and reduced insulin responsiveness due to the deficiency of Rac1 may be a likely explanation for atrophy of WATs.

    Insulin stimulates glucose uptake via the translocation of the glucose transporter GLUT4 to the plasma membrane in adipocytes. Several lines of evidence suggest that the small GTPase Rac1 plays an important role in insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in skeletal muscle and adipocytes. The purpose of this study is to investigate the mechanisms whereby Rac1 is regulated in adipocyte insulin signaling. Here, we show that knockdown of the guanine nucleotide exchange factor FLJ00068 inhibits Rac1 activation and GLUT4 translocation by insulin and a constitutively activated form of the protein kinase Akt2. Furthermore, constitutively activated FLJ00068 induced Rac1 activation and Rac1-dependent GLUT4 translocation. Collectively, these results suggest the involvement of FLJ00068 downstream of Akt2 in insulin-stimulated glucose uptake signaling in adipocytes.

    Insulin-stimulated glucose uptake is mediated by translocation of the glucose transporter GLUT4 to the plasma membrane in adipocytes and skeletal muscle cells. In both types of cells, phosphoinositide 3-kinase and the protein kinase Akt2 have been implicated as critical regulators. In skeletal muscle, the small GTPase Rac1 plays an important role downstream of Akt2 in the regulation of insulin-stimulated glucose uptake. However, the role for Rac1 in adipocytes remains controversial. Here, we show that Rac1 is required for insulin-dependent GLUT4 translocation also in adipocytes. A Rac1-specific inhibitor almost completely suppressed GLUT4 translocation induced by insulin or a constitutively activated mutant of phosphoinositide 3-kinase or Akt2. Constitutively activated Rac1 also enhanced GLUT4 translocation. Insulin-induced, but not constitutively activated Rac1-induced, GLUT4 translocation was abrogated by inhibition of phosphoinositide 3-kinase or Akt2. On the other hand, constitutively activated Akt2 caused Rac1 activation, and insulin-induced Rac1 activation was suppressed by an Akt2-specific inhibitor. Moreover, GLUT4 translocation induced by a constitutively activated mutant of Akt2 or Rac1 was diminished by knockdown of another small GTPase RalA. RalA was activated by a constitutively activated mutant of Akt2 or Rac1, and insulin-induced RalA activation was suppressed by an Akt2- or Rac1-specific inhibitor. Collectively, these results suggest that Rac1 plays an important role in the regulation of insulin-dependent GLUT4 translocation downstream of Akt2, leading to RalA activation in adipocytes.

    Translocation of the glucose transporter GLUT4 to the sarcolemma accounts for glucose uptake in skeletal muscle following insulin administration. The protein kinase Akt2 and the small GTPase Rac1 have been implicated as essential regulators of insulin-stimulated GLUT4 translocation. Several lines of evidence suggest that Rac1 is modulated downstream of Akt2, and indeed the guanine nucleotide exchange factor FLJ00068 has been identified as an activator of Rac1. On the other hand, the mechanisms whereby Akt2 and Rac1 are regulated in parallel downstream of phosphoinositide 3-kinase are also proposed. Herein, we aimed to provide additional evidence that support a critical role for Akt2 in insulin regulation of Rac1 in mouse skeletal muscle. Knockdown of Akt2 by RNA interference abolished Rac1 activation following intravenous administration of insulin or ectopic expression of a constitutively activated phosphoinositide 3-kinase mutant. The activation of another small GTPase RalA and GLUT4 translocation to the sarcolemma following insulin administration or ectopic expression of a constitutively activated form of phosphoinositide 3-kinase, but not Rac1, were also diminished by downregulation of Akt2 expression. Collectively, these results strongly support the notion that Rac1 acts downstream of Akt2 leading to the activation of RalA and GLUT4 translocation to the sarcolemma in skeletal muscle.
