An approach involving microinjection and microanalysis has been developed to investigate signal-transduction pathways involved in the hormonal control of metabolism. We have applied this strategy to investigate the role of Ras signaling in the acute activation of glucose transport by insulin in cardiac myocytes. Glucose transport activity was assessed by measuring the initial rate of accumulation of 2-deoxyglucose 6-phosphate (dGlc6P) in individual cells after incubation in 2-deoxyglucose. Insulin increased accumulation of dGlc6P by 3- to 4-fold, consistent with its stimulatory effect on glucose transport. Accumulation of dGlc6P was increased severalfold by microinjecting the nonhydrolyzable GTP analogue, guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate, which activates members of the Ras superfamily of GTP-binding proteins. Injecting activated Ha-Ras protein also mimicked insulin by increasing dGlc6P; whereas, injecting a Ras protein lacking the COOH-terminal site of fatty acylation required for Ras function was without effect. Introducing the neutralizing Ras antibody Y13-259 into cells attenuated the effect of insulin. These findings implicate Ras in the acute regulation of metabolism by insulin.
