Clinical reports indicate that patients with primary aldosteronism commonly have impaired glucose tolerance; however, the relationship between aldosterone and insulin signaling pathway has not been clarified. In this study, we examined the effects of aldosterone treatment on insulin receptor substrate-1 expression and insulin signaling pathway including Akt phosphorylation and glucose uptake in rat vascular smooth muscle cells. Insulin receptor substrate-1 protein expression and Akt phosphorylation were determined by Western blot analysis with anti-insulin receptor substrate-1 and phosphorylated-Akt antibodies, respectively. Glucose metabolism was evaluated using 3H-labeled 2-deoxy-D-glucose uptake. Aldosterone (1-100 nmol/L) dose-dependently decreased insulin receptor substrate-1 protein expression with a peak at 18 hours (n = 4). Aldosterone-induced degradation of insulin receptor substrate-1 was markedly attenuated by treatment with the selective mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist eplerenone (10 mu mol/L; n = 4). Furthermore, degradation was blocked by the Src inhibitor PP1 (20 mu mol/L; n = 4). Treatment with antioxidants, N-acetylcysteine (10 mmol/L), or ebselen (40 mu mol/L) also attenuated aldosterone-induced insulin receptor substrate-1 degradation (n = 4). In addition, proteasome inhibitor MG132 (1 mu mol/L) prevented insulin receptor substrate-1 degradation (n = 4). Aldosterone treatment abolished insulin-induced Akt phosphorylation (100 nmol/L; 5 minutes; n = 4). Furthermore, aldosterone pretreatment decreased insulin-stimulated (100 nmol/L; 60 minutes; n = 4) glucose uptake by 50%, which was reversed by eplerenone (10 mu mol/L; n = 4). These data indicate that aldosterone decreases insulin receptor substrate-1 expression via Src and reactive oxygen species stimulation by proteasome-dependent degradation in vascular smooth muscle cells; thus, aldosterone may be involved in the pathogenesis of vascular insulin resistance via oxidative stress.
