1 21647634 Monoclonal antibody to six transmembrane epithelial antigen of prostate-4 influences insulin sensitivity by attenuating phosphorylation of P13K (P85) and Akt: possible mitochondrial mechanism.
2 21647634 We examined the effects of anti-six-transmembrane epithelial antigen of the prostate-4 (STEAP4) antibodies on glucose transport in mature adipocytes and determined the mechanism of insulin resistance in obesity.
3 21647634 Western blotting was performed to determine STEAP4 expression, to assess translocation of insulin-sensitive glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4), and to measure phosphorylation and total protein content of insulin-signaling proteins.
4 21647634 After the application of anti-STEAP4 antibodies at 0.002 mg/mL, adipocytes exhibited reduced insulin-stimulated glucose transport by attenuating the phosphorylation of IRS-1, PI3K (p85), and Akt.
5 21647634 In conclusion, (i) STEAP4 regulates the function of IRS-1, PI3K, and Akt and decreases insulin-induced GLUT4 translocation and glucose uptake; (ii) ROS-related mitochondrial dysfunction may be related to a reduced IRS-1 correlation with the PI3K signaling pathway, leading to insulin resistance.
6 21647634 These observations highlight the potential role of STEAP4 in glucose homeostasis and possibly in the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes related to obesity and may provide new insights into the mechanisms of insulin resistance in obesity.
