Activation of Glycogen Phosphorylase with 5-Aminoimidazole-4-Carboxamide Riboside (AICAR)

The experimental evaluation of the contribution of glycogen phosphorylase (GP) to biochemical pathways is limited to methods that raise cAMP, activating the cAMP-dependent protein kinase/phosphorylase kinase/GP cascade. Such methods convert the unphosphorylated form, “GPb,” which catalyzes glycogenolysis only in the presence of appropriate allosteric activators such as AMP, to the phosphorylated, constitutively activated form, “GPa.” However, activation of GP in this way is indirect, requires a functional cAMP kinase cascade, and is complicated by other actions of cAMP. Here, we demonstrate a strategy for the experimental manipulation of GP in intact dermal fibroblasts, involving activation by the membrane-permeable adenosine analog 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide riboside (AICAR) and inhibition by caffeine and Pfizer compound CP-91149, which bind to GP at distinct sites. Potential complications because of activation of AMP-activated protein kinase by AICAR were assessed with metformin, which activates this kinase but does not activate GP. Using this strategy, we show that glycogen can be a significant and regulatable precursor of mannosyl units in lipid-linked oligosaccharides and glycoproteins.

Glycogen, a glucose polymer, is a key store of hexose in mammalian cells. Its formation from UDP-Glc and breakdown to Glc-1-P 1The abbreviations used are: Glc-1-P, glucose-1 phosphate; Glc-6-P, glucose-6 phosphate; Fru-6-P, fructose-6 phosphate; Man-1-P, mannose-1 phosphate; Man-6-P, mannose-6 phosphate; AICAR, 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide riboside; AMPK, AMP-activated protein kinase; GP, glycogen phosphorylase; LLO, lipid-linked oligosaccharide; HPLC, high pressure liquid chromatography. are catalyzed, respectively, by glycogen synthase and glycogen phosphorylase (GP). GP exists in two forms, depending upon its phosphorylation state (1Johnson L.N. FASEB J. 1992; 6: 2274-2282Crossref PubMed Scopus (264) Google Scholar). “GPb,” the unphosphorylated form, can be stimulated by allosteric activators such as AMP. Alternatively, phosphorylase kinase can convert the enzyme into its phosphorylated, covalently activated form “GPa,” which no longer requires allosteric activation. The regulation of GP may be complicated further by phosphatases and phosphatase inhibitors and the abilities of enzymes such as AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) (2Polekhina G. Gupta A. Michell B.J. van Dendersen B. Murthy S. Feil S.C. Jennings I.G. Campbell D.J. Witters L.A. Parker M.W. Kemp B.E. Stapleton D. Curr.

Diabetes. 2000; 49: 1967-1977Crossref PubMed Scopus (158) Google Scholar) to bind to glycogen. Recently, interest has been generated in glycogen as a source of hexose units in N-linked glycoproteins (4McMahon R.J. Frost S.C. Am. J. Physiol. 1996; 270: E640-E645PubMed Google Scholar, 5Gill A. Gao N. Lehrman M.A. J. Biol. Chem. 2002; 277: 44747-44753Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (11) Google Scholar). Protein N-linked glycosylation requires the lipid-linked oligosaccharide (LLO) Glc3Man9GlcNAc2-P-P-dolichol. The oligosaccharide unit is transferred by oligosaccharyl transferase to asparaginyl residues on nascent proteins (6Kornfeld R. Kornfeld S. Annu. Rev. Biochem. 1985; 54: 631-664Crossref PubMed Scopus (4078) Google Scholar). LLO synthesis requires contributions of enzymes in both the cytoplasm and the endoplasmic reticulum. In the cytoplasm, precursor nucleotide sugars are synthesized. In contrast, the endoplasmic reticulum is the site of assembly of the LLO, requiring UDP-GlcNAc, GDP-mannose, and UDP-glucose as well as the lipids mannose-P-dolichol and glucose-P-dolichol, which are synthesized from GDP-mannose and UDP-glucose, respectively. Two independent approaches have suggested that phosphorolysis of glycogen to form Glc-1-P can be stimulated under particular forms of cellular stress and that the Glc-1-P can be converted sequentially to Glc-6-P, Fru-6-P, Man-6-P, Man-1-P, and GDP-mannose in sufficient quantities to substantially enhance glycoconjugate synthesis. Impaired LLO mannosylation in cultured 3T3-L1 and Chinese hamster ovary-K1 cells correlated with glycogen depletion resulting from glucose starvation (4McMahon R.J. Frost S.C. Am. J. Physiol. 1996; 270: E640-E645PubMed Google Scholar). In addition, increased glucose phosphate production and glycogenolysis were coincident with endoplasmic reticulum stress and improved LLO mannosylation (5Gill A. Gao N. Lehrman M.A. J. Biol. Chem. 2002; 277: 44747-44753Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (11) Google Scholar). Although such experiments suggest that glycogen may be a significant precursor of mannosyl units for glycoconjugate synthesis, in each case glycogenolysis was activated indirectly. This problem could be solved by deliberate activation of GP. However, current approaches for experimental stimulation of GP in intact cells require activating the cAMP-dependent protein kinase/phosphorylase kinase cascade by adding an appropriate receptor agonist, an activator of adenylyl cyclase, or a membrane-permeable form of cAMP. Activation of phosphorylase kinase by these methods results in the conversion of GPb to GPa, but other pathways also respond to cAMP, so it would be difficult to attribute any effects on LLO synthesis solely to activation of GP. Here, we examined 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide riboside (AICAR), which like metformin (7Zhou G. Myers R. Li Y. Chen Y. Shen X. Fenyk-Melody J. Wu M. Ventre J. Doebber T. Fujii N. Musi N. Hirshman M. Goodyear L.J. Moller D.E. J. Clin. Investig. 2001; 108: 1167-1174Crossref PubMed Scopus (4576) Google Scholar) is widely reported to cause activation of AMPK in cells (8Winder W.W. Hardie D.G. Am. J. Physiol. 1999; 277: E1-E10PubMed Google Scholar). AICAR enhanced LLO extension as anticipated, but surprisingly its mechanism was inconsistent with that of metformin (9Shang J. Lehrman M.A. J. Biol. Chem. 2004; 279: 9703-9712Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (22) Google Scholar). Through a pharmacological approach, we show that AICAR enhanced LLO synthesis primarily by stimulating GP not AMPK. Reagents—Compound CP-91149 (10Martin W.H. Hoover D.J. Armento S.J. Stock I.A. McPherson R.K. Danley D.E. Stevenson R.W. Barrett E.J. Treadway J.L. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 1998; 95: 1176-1181Crossref Scopus (221) Google Scholar) was a generous gift of Pfizer. AICAR (number A611700) was from Toronto Research Chemicals. AICAR-P (ZMP, number A1393), metformin (number D5035), and caffeine (number C0750) were from Sigma. All of the above reagents were prepared as stock solutions in water. Cell culture media were from Invitrogen, and sera were from Atlanta Biologicals. [2-3H]d-Mannose (10–20 Ci/mmol) was from Amersham Biosciences, and 2-deoxy-[G-3H]d-glucose (10 Ci/mmol) was from American Radiolabeled Chemicals. Culture of Normal and CDG Type I Dermal Fibroblasts—Dermal fibroblasts were cultured as described earlier (11Doerrler W.T. Lehrman M.A. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 1999; 96: 13050-13055Crossref PubMed Scopus (46) Google Scholar, 12Shang J. Korner C. Freeze H. Lehrman M.A. Glycobiology. 2002; 12: 307-317Crossref PubMed Scopus (47) Google Scholar) in RPMI 1640 medium with 10% fetal bovine serum. Cells were generally grown to 80–90% of confluence for experiments. As described earlier (12Shang J. Korner C. Freeze H. Lehrman M.A. Glycobiology. 2002; 12: 307-317Crossref PubMed Scopus (47) Google Scholar) the fibroblasts used were normal CRL-1904 (American Type Culture Collection). Analysis of [3H]Mannose-labeled LLOs and N-Linked Glycans by HPLC—Glycans were analyzed as described (11Doerrler W.T. Lehrman M.A. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 1999; 96: 13050-13055Crossref PubMed Scopus (46) Google Scholar, 12Shang J. Korner C. Freeze H. Lehrman M.A. Glycobiology. 2002; 12: 307-317Crossref PubMed Scopus (47) Google Scholar) by incubating cells for 20 min in RPMI 1640 medium containing 0.5 mm glucose, 10% dialyzed fetal bovine serum, and 40 μCi/ml (2.5 μm) [3H]mannose. [3H]-labeled LLOs and N-glycans were recovered and fractionated by HPLC as described previously (11Doerrler W.T. Lehrman M.A. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 1999; 96: 13050-13055Crossref PubMed Scopus (46) Google Scholar, 12Shang J. Korner C. Freeze H. Lehrman M.A. Glycobiology. 2002; 12: 307-317Crossref PubMed Scopus (47) Google Scholar, 13Zeng Y. Lehrman M.A. Anal. Biochem. 1991; 193: 266-271Crossref PubMed Scopus (23) Google Scholar). In some experiments 0.1 mm unlabeled d-mannose was included during the 20-min labeling period. When indicated, the peak heights of [3H]mannose-labeled glycans detected by HPLC were normalized to their mannose contents to determine their percentages in glycan pools (11Doerrler W.T. Lehrman M.A. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 1999; 96: 13050-13055Crossref PubMed Scopus (46) Google Scholar). Hexose Uptake Measurements—Uptake of tritium-labeled mannose and 2-deoxyglucose was done over a 10-min period as described (9Shang J. Lehrman M.A. J. Biol. Chem. 2004; 279: 9703-9712Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (22) Google Scholar). Assay of Glycogen Phosphorylase in Fibroblast Extracts—Assays were performed essentially as described (5Gill A. Gao N. Lehrman M.A. J. Biol. Chem. 2002; 277: 44747-44753Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (11) Google Scholar). Extracts were prepared by streptolysin O permeabilization (14Anand M. Rush J.S. Ray S. Doucey M.A. Weik J. Ware F.E. Hofsteenge J. Waechter C.J. Lehrman M.A. Mol. Biol. Cell. 2001; 12: 487-501Crossref PubMed Scopus (75) Google Scholar). A solution was prepared (0.56 ml) with 31.3 mm sodium phosphate (pH 7.4), 3.13 mm MgSO4, 3.57 mm NADP+, and 1.79 mg/ml glycogen (Sigma catalog number G1508) and allowed to stand overnight at room temperature (empirically it was noticed that assay reproducibility was greatly enhanced by keeping the NADP+ solution at room temperature for at least 2 h). Water, enzymes (glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase to 5.7 μg/ml, and rabbit muscle phosphoglucomutase to 4.3 units/ml), glucose 1,6-bisphosphate (to 4.3 μm), and any activators or inhibitors were added to a final volume of 0.7 ml. The reaction was initiated by adding 0.3 ml of extract containing 0.02 mg of cytoplasmic protein or the corresponding buffer. GP activity was determined spectrophotometrically at 340 nm. Multiple data points were collected over a period of 4 h at room temperature. Over this period assays were linear, and the resulting slopes were used to determine activity. Values for blank reactions lacking extract were routinely subtracted out. Stimulation of LLO Extension by AICAR—Potential enzyme activators and inhibitors were tested with primary dermal fibroblasts refed daily with RPMI 1640 medium containing normal glucose (11 mm). To evaluate the effects on synthesis of LLOs and glycoproteins, cells were then labeled for 20 min with 2.5 μm [2-3H]mannose in medium adjusted to 0.5 mm glucose. In our hands this glucose concentration shifts the distribution of LLOs from mostly Glc3Man9GlcNAc2-P-P-dolichol (i.e. completed LLO) to Man2-5GlcNAc2-P-P-dolichol intermediates as the predominant species (9Shang J. Lehrman M.A. J. Biol. Chem. 2004; 279: 9703-9712Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (22) Google Scholar, 11Doerrler W.T. Lehrman M.A. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 1999; 96: 13050-13055Crossref PubMed Scopus (46) Google Scholar). The effects of 0.5 mm glucose on LLO synthesis are prevented if the labeling reaction also includes 0.1 mm mannose, which efficiently drives LLO mannosylation (11Doerrler W.T. Lehrman M.A. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 1999; 96: 13050-13055Crossref PubMed Scopus (46) Google Scholar). Thus, enzyme modulators could be evaluated for stimulatory effects on LLO synthesis by labeling in medium with 0.5 mm glucose, whereas inhibitory effects could be discerned with medium containing 0.5 mm glucose and 0.1 mm mannose. Because metformin is a positive modulator of LLO synthesis (9Shang J. Lehrman M.A. J. Biol. Chem. 2004; 279: 9703-9712Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (22) Google Scholar) we examined AICAR, as it has been widely reported that treatment of cells with AICAR, like metformin, activates AMPK (8Winder W.W. Hardie D.G. Am. J. Physiol. 1999; 277: E1-E10PubMed Google Scholar). This requires intracellular conversion of AICAR to the phosphorylated nucleotide 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribotide (designated AICAR-P for simplicity) by adenosine kinase (15Sabina R.L. Kernstine K.H. Boyd R.L. Holmes E.W. Swain J.L. J. Biol. Chem. 1982; 257: 10178-10183Abstract Full Text PDF PubMed Google Scholar, 16Sabina R.L. Patterson D. Holmes E.W. J. Biol. Chem. 1985; 260: 6107-6114Abstract Full Text PDF PubMed Google Scholar). AICAR-P allosterically activates purified AMPK, although with a substantially lower affinity than AMP (17Corton J.M. Gillespie J.G. Hawley S.A. Hardie D.G. Eur. J. Biochem. 1995; 229: 558-565Crossref PubMed Scopus (1051) Google Scholar, 18Henin N. Vincent M.F. Van den Berghe G. Biochim. Biophys. Acta. 1996; 1290: 197-203Crossref PubMed Scopus (94) Google Scholar). Depending upon the cell type and the experimental system, AICAR-P in intact cells appears to act primarily either by allosteric activation of AMPK (19Longnus S.L. Wambolt R.B. Parsons H.L. Brownsey R.W. Allard M.F. Am. J. Physiol. 2003; 284: R936-R944Crossref PubMed Scopus (114) Google Scholar) or by making AMPK a better substrate for the upstream-activating kinase complex containing LKB1 (20Hawley S.A. Boudeau J. Reid J.L. Mustard K.J. Udd L. Mäkelä T.P. Alessi D.R. Hardie D.G. J. Biol. 2003; 2: 28.1-28.15Crossref Google Scholar). In any case, the mechanism of AICAR-P differs from that of metformin, which does not activate the isolated enzyme but can activate AMPK in intact cells (7Zhou G. Myers R. Li Y. Chen Y. Shen X. Fenyk-Melody J. Wu M. Ventre J. Doebber T. Fujii N. Musi N. Hirshman M. Goodyear L.J. Moller D.E. J. Clin. Investig. 2001; 108: 1167-1174Crossref PubMed Scopus (4576) Google Scholar, 21Hawley S.A.
