A wide variety of agents are shown to mimic insulin action and inhibit rates of intracellular protein degradation in H35 hepatoma cells. For oxidizing agents such as NaNO2, H2O2 and oxidized glutathione, inhibition of protein breakdown is reversed by adding catalase. Phenylhydrazine behaves like an oxidant and mimics insulin action in a manner potentiated by superoxide dismutase and reversed by catalase. Similarly the effect of insulin itself is increased by superoxide dismutase and reduced by catalase. Sulfhydryl reagents also mimic insulin action: inhibition of protein breakdown is seen following addition of 2-mercaptoethanol or a brief pre-treatment with N-ethylmaleimide or iodoacetate. Mild pre-treatment with trypsin also inhibits subsequent rates of protein breakdown. A model is proposed suggesting that these insulinomimetic actions involve a common mechanism which links the generation of active oxygen species through the redox potential of the cell to the activation of a proteinase.
