1 10976915 The decrease observed in MBS phosphorylation was due to insulin-induced inhibition of Rho kinase activity.
2 10976915 Insulin also prevented a thrombin-mediated increase in Rho kinase activation and abolished the thrombin-induced increase in MBS phosphorylation and MBP inactivation.
3 10976915 These data are consistent with the notion that insulin inactivates Rho kinase and decreases MBS phosphorylation to activate MBP in VSMCs.
4 11509551 Our laboratory has recently demonstrated that insulin induces relaxation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) by activating myosin-bound phosphatase (MBP) and by inhibiting Rho kinase (Begum N, Duddy N, Sandu OA, Reinzie J, and Ragolia L.
5 11509551 In this study, we tested the hypothesis that insulin via the nitric oxide (NO)/cGMP pathway may inactivate Rho, resulting in a decrease in phosphorylation of the myosin-bound subunit (MBS(Thr695)) of MBP and in its activation.
6 11509551 Treatment of confluent serum-starved VSMCs with insulin prevented thrombin-induced increases in membrane-associated RhoA, Rho kinase activation, and site-specific phosphorylation of MBS(Thr695) of MBP and caused MBP activation.
7 11509551 In contrast, 8-bromo-cGMP, a cGMP agonist, mimicked insulin's inhibitory effects by abolishing thrombin-mediated Rho signaling and promoted dephosphorylation of MBS(Thr695).
8 11509551 Collectively, these results indicate that insulin inhibits Rho signaling by decreasing RhoA translocation via the NO/cGMP signaling pathway to cause MBP activation via site-specific dephosphorylation of its regulatory subunit MBS.
9 11739394 In contrast, expression of dominant negative RhoA or cGMP-dependent protein kinase type I alpha inactivates Rho kinase, abolishes ROK-alpha/IRS-1 association, and potentiates insulin-induced tyrosine phosphorylation and PI3-kinase activation leading to decreased MBS(T695) phosphorylation and decreased MBP inhibition.
10 17287471 ARHGEF11, which encodes the Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factor 11, was analyzed as a positional candidate gene for this linkage because this protein may stimulate Rho-dependent signals, such as the insulin signaling cascade.
11 19276091 Rho-kinase (ROCK) isoforms have been shown to participate in insulin signaling and glucose metabolism in cultured cell lines.
12 16996478 In addition, to examine the functional role of Rho/Rho-kinase in beta-cells, we evaluated the effect of Rho-kinase inhibitors on insulin biosynthesis.
13 16996478 Northern blot analysis showed that insulin mRNA levels were markedly increased by Rho-kinase inhibitors, Y-27632 and fasudil, in beta-cell-derived HIT-T15 cells.
