Figure Lengend Snippet: PKN2 silencing in vivo decreases glucose uptake and activates AMPK. Contralateral tibialis anterior muscles were electroporated with shRNA targeting PKN2 or scrambled control. Seven days following electroporation, 4-h fasted mice were administered an oral glucose load (3 g/kg), followed by ip injection of [3H]deoxyglucose. Tibialis anterior muscle was harvested 2 h following the oral glucose challenge and analyzed for PKN2, P-AMPKThr172, AMPK, P-ACC Ser79, and ACC protein abundance (representative immunoblot from n = 7 mice) (A), quantification of PKN2 protein abundance (B), in vivo glucose uptake (C), intramuscular glycogen content (D), quantification of p-AMPK Thr172 abundance (E), and p-ACC Ser79 abundance (F) in PKN2 shRNA-treated mouse tibialis anterior muscle. *Paired t-test, P < 0.05. Results are means ± SE for n = 7 mice. AU, arbitrary units.
