To understand how the stimulation of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) by different growth factors can activate different subsets of downstream responses, growth-factor regulation of PI 3-kinase activity at different intracellular locations was investigated in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Insulin caused a large stimulation of glucose transport and stimulated recruitment of transferrin receptors to the plasma membrane (PM) in these cells, whereas platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-bb was virtually without effect on these responses. Subcellular fractionation studies after stimulation with PDGF-bb or insulin revealed a differential effect of these growth factors on subcellular localization of PI 3-kinase activity. PDGF was more effective than insulin in stimulating PI 3-kinase activity and recruiting the p85 alpha PI 3-kinase adaptor subunit in the fraction containing the PM. However, in the microsomal fraction insulin significantly increased PI 3-kinase activity and p85 alpha levels, whereas PDGF was almost without effect. In the microsomal membrane fraction the insulin-stimulated recruitment of p85 alpha closely matched the increase PI 3-kinase activity, indicating that insulin stimulation of PI 3-kinase in this fraction is largely due to recruitment of PI 3-kinase enzyme rather than alterations in specific activity. Insulin-stimulated recruitment of p85 alpha to the microsomal membranes was not inhibited by wortmannin, indicating that PI 3-kinase activity was not required for this process. A further level of compartment-specific regulation of PI 3-kinase in response to PDGF was revealed by the finding that tyrosine phosphorylation of the p85 alpha adaptor was restricted to the PM-containing fraction. Insulin had no effect on p85 tyrosine phosphorylation in either fraction. In summary, these results suggest a basis by which insulin and PDGF could both use PI 3-kinase signalling cascades but achieve different signalling outcomes.
