pubmed:abstractText
Incubation of isolated hepatocytes with glutamine or proline or in hypotonic media is known to activate glycogen synthase and acetyl-CoA carboxylase as a result of cell swelling. We report here that the same experimental conditions caused an activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and p70 ribosomal protein S6 kinase (p70 S6 kinase) but did not modify the activity of p42 mitogen-activated protein kinase. In addition, rapamycin, an inhibitor of p70 S6 kinase activation, prevented the amino acid- and hypotonicity-induced activation of p70 S6 kinase but did not block the activation of glycogen synthase and acetyl-CoA carboxylase, thus ruling out p70 S6 kinase as a necessary component in the activation pathway. By contrast, wortmannin or LY294002, inhibitors of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, completely blocked the activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and p70 S6 kinase and partly blocked the activation of glycogen synthase and acetyl-CoA carboxylase. Therefore, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase might be a component of the signaling pathway that is triggered by cell swelling and is responsible, at least in part, for the activation of glycogen synthase and acetyl-CoA carboxylase. Incubation of hepatocytes with 0.1 microM epidermal growth factor doubled the activity of p42 mitogen-activated protein kinase without activating glycogen synthase.
