Alpha1- and beta1-adrenoceptor signaling fully compensates for beta3-adrenoceptor deficiency in brown adipocyte norepinephrine-stimulated glucose uptake
Abstract
To assess the relative roles and potential contribution of adrenergic receptor subtypes other than the beta3-adrenergic receptor in norepinephrine-mediated glucose uptake in brown adipocytes, we have here analyzed adrenergic activation of glucose uptake in primary cultures of brown adipocytes from wild-type and beta3-adrenergic receptor knockout (KO) mice. In control cells in addition to high levels of beta3-adrenergic receptor mRNA, there were relatively low alpha1A-, alpha1D-, and moderate beta1-adrenergic receptor mRNA levels with no apparent expression of other adrenergic receptors. The levels of alpha1A-, alpha1D-, and beta1-adrenergic receptor mRNA were not changed in the beta3-KO brown adipocytes, indicating that the beta3-adrenergic receptor ablation does not influence adrenergic gene expression in brown adipocytes in culture. As expected, the beta3-adrenergic receptor agonists BRL-37344 and CL-316 243 did not induce 2-deoxy-d-glucose uptake in beta3-KO brown adipocytes. Surprisingly, the endogenous adrenergic neurotransmitter norepinephrine induced the same concentration-dependent 2-deoxy-D-glucose uptake in wild-type and beta3-KO brown adipocytes. This study demonstrates that beta1-adrenergic receptors, and to a smaller degree alpha1-adrenergic receptors, functionally compensate for the lack of beta3-adrenergic receptors in glucose uptake. Beta1-adrenergic receptors activate glucose uptake through a cAMP/protein kinase A/phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase pathway, stimulating conventional and novel protein kinase Cs. The alpha1-adrenergic receptor component (that is not evident in wild-type cells) stimulates glucose uptake through a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and protein kinase C pathway in the beta3-KO cells.
