Figure Lengend Snippet: PKD2 deficiency in hepatocytes potentiates hepatic insulin responses after HFD administration in male mice . A . Eight-week-old PKD2 fl/fl and PKD2 ΔHep male mice were fed a HFD for 14 weeks. Basal Ser612 IRS1 phosphorylation and total IRS1 levels were analyzed . Vinculin was used as loading control. Densitometric quantification of pIRS1 Ser612 and total IRS1 protein levels. Values are mean ± SEM (pIRS1, n = 6 for PKD2 fl/fl mice and n = 4 for PKD2 ΔHep mice; IRS1, n = 13 for PKD2 fl/fl mice and n = 10 for PKD2 ΔHep mice). ∗p < 0.05 versus PKD2 fl/fl mice according to Student's t-test. B-C. Four h-fasted HFD-fed PKD2 fl/fl or PKD2 ΔHep mice were i.p. injected 0.75 U/kg human insulin for 15 min. In B , pIR, pIRS1 Tyr608, pAKT (Ser473 and Thr308) protein levels were analysed by immunoblot in liver extracts. Total IR, AKT and Vinculin were used as loading controls. Densitometric quantification of pIR, pIRS1 Tyr608, pAKT (Ser473 and Thr308) protein levels after insulin treatment. Values are mean ± SEM (pIR, pAKT Ser473 and pAKT Thr308, n = 11 for PKD2 fl/fl mice and n = 15 for PKD2 ΔHep mice; pIRS1 Tyr608, n = 7 for PKD2 fl/fl mice and n = 10 for PKD2 ΔHep mice). ∗p < 0.05, ∗∗p < 0.01 versus PKD2 fl/fl mice according to Student's t-test. In C , pGSK3α/β, pFOXO1 and pS6 protein levels were analyzed by immunoblot in liver extracts. Total GSK3α/β, FOXO1, S6 and Vinculin were used as loading controls. Densitometric quantification of pGSK3α/β, pFOXO1 and pS6 protein levels after insulin treatment. Values are mean ± SEM (pGSK3α/β: n = 11 for PKD2 fl/fl mice and n = 13 for PKD2 ΔHep mice; pFOXO1, n = 5 for PKD2 fl/fl mice and n = 7 for PKD2 ΔHep mice; pS6, n = 6). ∗p < 0.05, ∗∗p < 0.01 versus PKD2 fl/fl mice according to Student's t-test. D. Glycogen, total and free glucose levels in livers from CHD- and HFD (14 weeks)-fed PKD2 fl/fl and PKD2 ΔHep mice in the fed state. Values are mean ± SEM (for glycogen and total glucose, CHD n = 9, HFD n = 11 for PKD2 fl/fl mice and n = 8 for PKD2 ΔHep mice; for free glucose, CHD n = 9, HFD n = 11 for PKD2 fl/fl mice and n = 9 for PKD2 ΔHep mice). ∗∗p < 0.01 versus PKD2 fl/fl mice, ##p < 0.01, ###p < 0.001 versus CHD condition, according to Two-way ANOVA with Bonferroni post hoc test. E. Protein levels of pIR and pAKT (Ser473 and Thr308) of muscle extracts from HFD-fed PKD2 fl/fl or PKD2 ΔHep mice treated as in b. Total IR, AKT and Vinculin were used as loading controls. Densitometric quantification of pIR and pAKT (Ser473 and Thr308) protein levels after insulin treatment. Values are mean ± SEM (n = 3 for PKD2 fl/fl mice and n = 5 for PKD2 ΔHep mice).
