Abstract

Peptides derived from the alpha 1-region of the murine H-2Dk molecule enhance glucose uptake in rat adipose cells above the maximum obtained with insulin stimulation alone (Stagsted, J., Reaven, G. M., Hansen, T., Goldstein, A., and Olsson, L. (1990) Cell 62, 297-307). We now describe that epidermal growth factor (EGF) in combination with the same peptides, Dk-(61-85) and Dk-(62-85), stimulates cellular glucose uptake 5-7 times over the basal level, i.e. to 30-50% of the maximal insulin effect. EGF alone increased glucose uptake by only approximately 50% above basal and the peptide alone by 100% above basal. Maximal effect of EGF and peptide was reached in 10-20 min with 30 microM peptide (EC50 10-15 microM) and 50 nM EGF (EC50 1-2 nM). The effect of EGF and peptide on glucose uptake was additive to that of insulin and peptide until the maximal level attained with insulin and peptide was reached. The combined effect of EGF plus peptide on glucose transport was associated with a recruitment of GLUT4 molecules to the plasma membrane. However, the phosphatidylinositol (PI) kinase which is activated by insulin was not activated by EGF plus peptide. Thus, the effect of EGF plus peptide on glucose uptake seems independent of the activity status of the insulin receptor. 125I-Labeled EGF bound specifically to rat adipose cells with an apparent affinity of approximately 2 nM and Bmax approximately 5 x 10(3). However, the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) peptides did not affect EGF-stimulated internalization of EGF receptor, in contrast to their effect on the insulin receptors. Transforming growth factor alpha had an effect similar to EGF on glucose uptake. Three other peptides derived from other parts of murine MHC class I had no effect on glucose uptake in combination with EGF. Thus, EGF in combination with certain MHC class I-derived peptides is insulinomimetic concerning glucose transport and this effect is independent of the insulin receptor activity.
