Insulin is also involved in the regulation of cell growth, and in vascular smooth muscle cells there is evidence that this effect involves action of other growth factors, such as PDGF.

A mitogen-activated protein kinase-kinase (MAPKK) purified from bovine brain is phosphorylated and activated 4-9-fold in vitro by c-Raf-1 from mitogen-treated cells. c-Raf-1 protein kinase activity, measured by the phosphorylation of brain MAPKK substrate, is detectably activated within 1 min after addition of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) to 3T3 cells, increasing more rapidly than the endogenous NIH 3T3 cell MAPKK activity. c-Raf-1 activation is also induced by insulin, phorbol ester, thrombin, and endothelin.

TRO, RSG, and rottlerin inhibited PDGF-induced expression of p21(Cip1), but they did not affect insulin-induced expression of p21(Cip1).

In this study, we attempted to determine whether insulin affects mitogenic signaling induced by platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) in a rat VSMC cell line (A10 cells).

However, the presence of insulin enhanced both DNA synthesis and MAPK activation by PDGF.

We conclude that insulin, at pathophysiologically relevant concentrations, potentiates the PDGF-stimulated DNA synthesis, at least in part, by potentiating activation of the MAPK cascade.

Furthermore, insulin increased alpha-SMA mRNA and protein levels to 111 and 118%, respectively, after PDGF-induced dedifferentiation, an effect inhibited by wortmannin.

In conclusion, insulin's ability to maintain VSMC quiescence and reverse the dedifferentiating influence of PDGF is mediated via the PI3K pathway, whereas insulin promotes VSMC migration via the MAPK pathway.

Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) increased VSMC migration, which was inhibited by pretreatment with insulin in a dose-dependent manner.

Insulin also caused a 60% decrease in PDGF-stimulated mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) phosphorylation and activation.

Pretreatment with inhibitors of the nitric oxide (NO)/cGMP pathway, blocked insulin-induced MKP-1 expression and restored PDGF-stimulated MAPK activation and migration.

Expression of antisense MKP-1 RNA prevented insulin's inhibitory effect and restored PDGF-directed VSMC migration and MAPK phosphorylation.
