doi: 10.1126/sciadv.adq4461
Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Schematic overview of the major signaling events modulating insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in human skeletal muscle. ( B ) Proximal insulin signaling, as determined by phosphorylation of Akt2 on Thr308 and Ser473 in whole-muscle homogenates. ( C and D ) Distal insulin signaling, as determined by phosphorylation of the Akt substrates GSK3β on Ser9 (C) and TBC1D4 on Thr642 (D) in whole-muscle homogenates. ( E ) GLUT4 translocation, as determined by GLUT4 protein abundance in plasma membrane protein fractions. In-gel stain-free technology was used as a loading control. Lipid, n = 8 (Pre-clamp) and n = 9 (End-clamp); Lipid + mtAO, n = 10. Representative blots ( n = 2 biological replicates from each muscle biopsy sample for each patient). ( F ) Purity of the isolated plasma membrane protein fractions (used to determine GLUT4 translocation), as determined by immunoblot analysis of actin (cytosolic protein marker) and Na + /K + -ATPase subunit α1 (plasma membrane protein marker) in plasma membrane homogenates (PM) as compared with the corresponding whole-muscle homogenates (WM). PM and WM samples were obtained by pooling a given volume of each individual sample. ( G ) Pearson’s correlation between mtAO-induced changes in plasma membrane GLUT4 and leg glucose uptake under insulin stimulation. n = 9. Data [(B) to (E)] presented as observed individual values with estimated means ±95% confidence limits. Linear mixed models were used to estimate within- and between-treatment differences at End-clamp [(B) to (E)]. *Different from Pre-clamp ( P < 0.05). n = 10, unless otherwise stated. Illustrations in (A) were created with BioRender.com .
Article Snippet: Primary human skeletal muscle (HSKM) myoblasts obtained from m. rectus abdominis of a 17-year-old, nondiabetic male (BMI: 27 kg/m 2 ) (SK-1111, Donor: P01052-17M, Cook Myosite) were grown to confluency in Myotonic Basal Media (MB-2222) supplemented with 10% Myotonic Growth Supplement (MS-3333) and 1% antibiotic-antimycotic.
