Stimulation of glucose uptake by chronic vanadate pretreatment in cardiomyocytes requires PI 3-kinase and p38 MAPK activation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Vanadate, an inhibitor of tyrosine phosphatases, has insulin-mimetic properties. It has been shown that acute vanadate administration enhances glucose uptake independently of phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase and p38 MAPK. However, therapeutic vanadate use requires chronic administration, and this could potentially involve a different signaling pathway(s). Thus, we examined the mechanisms by which chronic vanadate exposure (16 h) stimulates glucose uptake in primary cultures of adult cardiomyocytes. The effect of vanadate on the activation of insulin-signaling molecules was evaluated 60 min after its withdrawal and in the absence of insulin. We therefore evaluated the persistent effect of vanadate on the insulin-signaling cascade. Our results demonstrate that preincubation with low vanadate concentrations (25-75 microM) induces a dose-dependent increase in glucose uptake. The augmentation of this process was not due to alterations in GLUT1 or GLUT4 protein levels, transcription, or de novo protein synthesis. Chronic vanadate exposure was associated with activation of the insulin receptor, insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1), PKB/Akt, and p38 MAPK. Furthermore, inhibition of PI 3-kinase or p38 MAPK by wortmannin and PD-169316, respectively, significantly inhibited vanadate-mediated glucose uptake in cardiomyocytes. Thus, over time, different (albeit overlapping) signaling cascades may be activated by vanadate.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
