Enhanced insulin stimulation of sugar transport and DNA synthesis by glucocorticoids in cultured human skin fibroblasts.

Abstract:

:Glucocorticoids will enhance the growth of cultured human skin fibroblasts in serum-containing medium. In serum-free cultures hydrocortisone (5 X 10(-6) M) will enhance insulin stimulation of sugar transport and DNA synthesis (as measured by thymidine incorporation into trichloroacetic acid-precipitable material). The optimal concentration for the glucocorticoid effect on DNA synthesis was 5 X 10(-8) M for dexamethasone and 5 X 10(-7) M for hydrocortisone. In dexamethasone-treated cells, concentrations of insulin as low as 250 microU/ml (10 ng/ml) were effective in stimulating DNA synthesis. Further, hydrocortisone and dexamethasone (both at 5 X 10(-6) M) exhibited potentiating effects on insulin-stimulated sugar transport. These effects appeared to be mediated via inhibitory actions on the hexose transport system with the preservation of a functional insulin-receptor interaction resulting in insulin stimulation of deoxy-D-glucose transport at physiological insulin concentrations, 250 microU/ml (10 ng/ml). Hydrocortisone also enhanced specific [125I]insulin binding in these cells. The data indicate that the mechanism(s) of glucocorticoid enhancement of two actions of insulin may be different.
