p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), which is situated downstream of MAPK kinase (MKK) 6 and MKK3, is activated by mitogenic or stress-inducing stimuli, as well as by insulin. To clarify the role of the MKK6/3-p38 MAPK pathway in the regulation of glucose transport, dominant negative p38 MAPK and MKK6 mutants and constitutively active MKK6 and MKK3 mutants were overexpressed in 3T3-L1 adipocytes and L6 myotubes using an adenovirus-mediated transfection procedure. Constitutively active MKK6/3 mutants up-regulated GLUT1 expression and down-regulated GLUT4 expression, thereby significantly increasing basal glucose transport but diminishing transport induced by insulin. Similar effects were elicited by chronic (24 h) exposure to tumor necrosis factor alpha, interleukin-1 beta, or 200 mM sorbitol, all activate the MKK6/3-p38 MAPK pathway. SB203580, a specific p38 MAPK inhibitor, attenuated these effects, further confirming that both MMK6 and MMK3 act via p38 MAPK,whereas they had no effect on the increase in glucose transport induced by a constitutively active MAPK kinase 1 (MEK1) mutant or by myristoylated Akt, In addition, suppression of p38 MAPK activation by overexpression of a dominant negative p38 MAPK or MKK6 mutant did not diminish insulin-induced glucose uptake by 3T3-L1 adipocytes, It is thus apparent that activation of p38 MAPK is not essential for insulin-induced increases in glucose uptake. Rather, p38 MAPK activation leads to a marked down-regulation of insulin-induced glucose uptake via GLUT4, which may underlie cellular stress-induced insulin resistance caused by tumor necrosis factor alpha and other factors.
