The serine/threonine kinase Akt/PKB plays diverse roles in cells, and genetic studies have indicated distinct roles for the three Akt isoforms expressed in mammalian cells and tissues. Akt2 is a key signaling intermediate for insulin-stimulated glucose uptake and glycogen synthesis in skeletal muscle. Akt2 has also been shown to be activated by exercise and muscle contraction in both rodents and humans. In this study, we used Akt2 knockout mice to explore the role of Akt2 in exercise-stimulated glucose uptake and glycogen synthesis as well as intracellular signaling pathways that regulate glycogen metabolism in skeletal muscle. We found that Akt2 deficiency does not affect basal or exercise-stimulated glucose uptake or intracellular glycogen content in the soleus muscle. In addition, lack of Akt2 did not result in alterations in basal Akt Thr(308) or basal and contraction-stimulated glycogen synthase kinase-3 beta (GSK-3 beta) Ser(9) phosphorylation, glycogen synthase phosphorylation, or glycogen synthase activity. In contrast, in situ contraction failed to elicit normal increases in Akt T-loop Thr(308) phosphorylation and GSK-3 alpha Ser(21) phosphorylation in tibialis anterior muscles from Akt2-deficient animals. Our data establish a key role for Akt2 in the regulation of GSK-3 alpha Ser(21) phosphorylation with contraction and add genetic evidence to support the separation of the intracellular pathways regulated by insulin and exercise that converge on glucose uptake and glycogen synthesis in skeletal muscle.
