The possibility that the insulin receptor of adipocytes undergoes cycling was examined by a method involving pronase digestion at 12 degrees C, followed by insulin binding studies to determine receptor location and quantity. In the absence of insulin treatment, the amount of internal receptors (i.e. protected from pronase) was 10% of total receptor content. Following a 30-min insulin treatment (0.1 microM) at 37 degrees C, the internal receptor content increased 2-fold (206 +/- 12% of control, 100%). This effect was rapid, and maximum internalization was approached by 5 min of insulin treatment. Warming pronase-digested cells to 37 degrees C allowed the internal receptors to move to the cell surface. This movement was rapid also, and expansion of the internal pool by insulin pretreatment provided a 2.4-fold increase in the reinsertion of cell-surface receptors (238 +/- 28% of nontreated cells, 100%). Insulin-pretreated and nontreated cells had approximately 13 and 6%, respectively, of their original cell-surface receptor content, i.e. their content before pronase digestion. These receptors appeared intact after the cycling process, as judged by affinity labeling and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the receptor and its binding subunit. The ability of the recycled receptor to respond to insulin was examined by studies of glucose incorporation into lipids and the inhibition of isoproterenol-stimulated lipolysis. Cells pretreated with insulin and allowed to recycle (e.g. 13% of normal receptor content) were 2-3-fold more responsive and 7-fold more sensitive to subsequent insulin stimulation than nontreated cells (e.g. 6% of normal receptor content), indicating that the recycled receptors are biologically active and coupled to cellular effector systems.
