A highly sensitive method for determination of insulin receptor (IR) kinase activity in whole cells, which is based on a STAT5 (signal transducer and activator of transcription 5)-dependent reporter gene assay, has been developed. We show in Rat1 fibroblasts stably overexpressing the human IR (Rat1-HIR-cl5) an insulin-dependent direct association and phosphorylation of STAT5b by IR kinase. Rat1-HIR cells transfected with a luciferase gene reporter construct under control of a STAT5-inducible promoter showed insulin-mediated induction of STAT5-dependent luciferase activity, with peak activities around 8 h of insulin treatment over a wide dose range. Transient STAT5b but not STAT5a cotransfection significantly enhanced reporter gene activity, yielding up to a fivefold induction. Addition of the IR kinase inhibitor tyrphostin AG1024 down-regulated luciferase induction in a dose-dependent manner. This is the first assay allowing determination of IR kinase activity in intact cells in a 24-well culture and a microtiter format. Kinetics of this cellular response, sensitivity range, and signal amplitude make it well suited for automation and offer the potential for establishing high-throughput screening systems for both insulin mimetic substances and IR kinase antagonists in a simple nonradioactive assay.
