Objective To investigate the roles of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/AKT) signaling pathway and its regulatory protein peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPAR γ) and phosphatase and tension homologue deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN) in regulating insulin sensitivity in rats with fetal growth restriction (FGR).Methods Sixteen pregnant rats were randomly divided into two groups including FGR and control groups on the 12th day of pregnancy (eight in each group).The FGR group was given low protein diet (8% of casein) and restriction diet to establish the neonatal rat model of FGR.All maternal rats after delivery and newborn rats after weaning on 21 days after born were fed with normal diet.Each time blood samples were collected from eight newborn rats of each group to measure levels of fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and fasting insulin(FINS) at the time points of 21 days,two and four months after birth.Then insulin resistance index (IRI) and insulin sensitivity index (ISI) were calculated to evaluate insulin sensitivity.Expression of PI3K,AKT,PPAR γγ,PTEN and glucose transporters 4 (GLUT4) in skeletal muscle at mRNA and protein levels were measured at 21 days,two and four months after birth with real time fluorescence polymerase chain reaction and Western blot,respectively.Relationships between the expression of key molecules of PI3K/AKT signaling pathway and insulin sensitivity were analyzed.T-test,and Pearson's correlation analysis were used for statistical analysis.Results (1) The average birth weight of newborn rats in the FGR group was lower than that of the control group [(4.37± 0.69) vs (7.03±0.55) g,t=-20.75,P<0.05].The incidence of FGR in the FGR group was 93.33% (70/75).(2) Compared with normal offspring,those in the FGR group showed significantly increased FPG [two months after birth:(5.53± 0.58) vs (7.49 ± 0.38) mmol/L,t=8.08;four months afterbirth:(6.35±0.66) vs (8.94±0.90) mmol/L,t=6.58],FINS [two months afterbirth:(9.18±0.66) vs (14.67± 1.90) mU/L,t=7.71;four months after birth:(33.08±2.76) vs (56.33±2.81) mU/L,t=16.71] and IR1 (two months after birth:2.25±0.31 vs 4.90±0.81,t=8.63;four months after birth:9.30±0.90 vs 22.44±3.10,t=1 1.51),but decreased ISI (two months after birth:0.020 ± 0.002 vs 0.009± 0.001,t=-10.1 4;four months after birth:0.005±0.000 vs 0.002 ±0.000,t=-14.91) at two and four months after birth (all P<0.05).(3) Compared with normal offspring,those in the FGR group showed decreased expression of PI3K (21 days after birth:0.082±0.028 vs 0.019±0.004,t=-6.29;two months after birth:0.020±0.003 vs 0.010±0.005,t=-4.78;four months after birth:0.014±0.004 vs 0.003±0.001,t=-7.87) and GLUT4 (21 days after birth:0.132±0.057 vs 0.041 ±0.019,t=-4.32;two months after birth:0.183±0.084 vs 0.069±0.017,t=-3.74;four months after birth:0.248±0.069 vs 0.113±0.040,t=-4.74) at mRNA level at 21 days,two and four months after birth (all P<0.05).Compared with normal offspring,decreased expression of PPAR γ (two months after birth:0.028±0.002 vs 0.012±0.005,t=-3.70;four months after birth:0.030±0.008 vs 0.012±0.005,t=-3.80) and increased expression of PTEN (two months after birth:0.020±0.004 vs 0.045±0.014,t=5.09;four months after birth:0.023±0.007 vs 0.034±0.009,t=2.57) at mRNA level were observed in offspring of the FGR group at two and four months after birth (all P<0.05).(4) Compared with normal offspring,expression of PI3K protein (21 days after birth:0.22±0.01 vs 0.17±0.02,t=-6.62;two months after birth:0.27±0.03 vs 0.16±0.02,t=-7.25;four months after birth:0.18±0.01 vs 0.09±0.02,t=-9.79) and GLUT4 protein (21 days after birth:0.21 ±0.01 vs 0.03±0.01,t=-27.29;two months after birth:0.10±0.01 vs 0.06t±0.01,t=-3.90;four months after birth:0.13 ±0.01 vs 0.08± 0.02,t=-8.10) decreased in offspring in the FGR group at 21 days,two and four months after birth (all P<0.05).Compared with normal offspring,those in the FGR group showed decreased expression of PPAR γ protein (two months after birth:0.10 ± 0.01 vs 0.07± 0.01,t =-7.29;four months after birth:0.09±0.01 vs 0.08±0.01,t=-2.83),but increased expression of PTEN at protein level (two months after birth:0.10±0.01 vs 0.15±0.02,t=6.01;four months after birth:0.09±±0.01 vs 0.13±0.02,t=5.51) at two and four months after birth (all P<0.05).(5) The IRI levels in offsprings in the FGR group were negatively correlated with the expression of PI3K,GLUT4 and PPAR γ at protein level (two months after birth:r=-0.90,-0.92 and-0.79;four months after birth:r=-0.92,-0.75 and-0.73,all P<0.05),but positively correlated with the expression of PTEN at protein level (r=0.87 and 0.86,both P<0.05) at two and four months after birth.Conclusions The abnormal expression of the key molecules of PI3K/AKT signaling pathway precedes the decrease of insulin sensitivity in newborn rats with FGR and the expression regulatory protein PPAR γ and PTEN are also changed,suggesting that these molecules may induce the impairment of insulin sensitivity in rats with FGR and be involved in the development of insulin resistance.

AIM: The purpose of this study was to determine whether the signal transduction systems were activated at the molecular atrial tissue level in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and whether atrial expression of extracellular-signal regulated kinase (ERK) and protein phosphatases is altered. METHODS: Atrial tissue sample of 30 patients undergoing cardiac surgery were examined. 20 patients had AF, 10 patients had no history of AF. The mRNA expression of calcineurin B and MKP-1 were detected by semi-quantitative RT-PCR. ERK1 and phospho-ERK1 were analyzed at the protein level by Western blot. RESULTS: Western blot analysis showed that atrial fibrillation did not induce significant change in ERK1 expression level in the left atrium. In contrast , phospho-ERK1 content was increased in the patients with AF in comparison with those who had sinus rhythm (SR). The mRNA expression of calcineurin B and MKP-1 in the patients with AF were significantly higher than that in patients with SR. CONCLUSION: The activation of extracellular-signal regulated kinase and protein phosphatases may have correlation with the initiation or maintenance of atrial fibrillation.
