Insulin signaling pathways potentially involved in regulation of skeletal muscle glycogen synthase were compared in differentiated human muscle cell cultures from nondiabetic and type 2 diabetic patients. Insulin stimulation of glycogen synthase activity as well as phosphorylation of MAPK, p70 S6 kinase, and protein kinase B (Akt) were blocked by the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitors wortmannin (50 nM) and LY294002 (10 microM). In contrast to lean and obese nondiabetic subjects, where there were minimal effects (15-20% inhibition), insulin stimulation of glycogen synthase in muscle cultures from diabetic subjects was greatly diminished ( approximately 75%) by low concentrations of wortmannin (25 nM) or LY294002 (2 microM). This increased sensitivity of diabetic muscle to impairment of insulin-stimulated glycogen synthase activity occurs together with diminished insulin-stimulation (by 40%) of IRS-1-associated phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activity in the same cells. Protein expression of IRS-1, p85, p110, Akt, p70 S6 kinase, and MAPK were normal in diabetic cells, as was insulin-stimulated phosphorylation of Akt, p70 S6 kinase, and MAPK. These studies indicate that, despite prolonged growth and differentiation of diabetic muscle under normal metabolic culture conditions, defects of insulin-stimulated phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and glycogen synthase activity in diabetic muscle persist, consistent with intrinsic (rather than acquired) defects of insulin action.
