The molecular mechanism of insulin action remains an intriguing and unsolved biological puzzle. This puzzle deserves to be solved because of its intrinsic biological interest, but also because of its obvious clinical relevance to common states of insulin resistance such as Type I1 diabetes and obesity. In these disorders, the insulin resistance appears to occur at a ‘post-receptor’locus, in that the primary structure of the insulin receptor, and its intrinsic tyrosine protein kinase activity, appear to be normal. One object of studying the post-receptor actions of insulin, therefore. is to understand the complete series of reactions that occur after insulin occupancy of its receptor and a subsequent intracellular effect; once these reactions are understood at the molecular level, then it might be possible to determine the locus of the defect in states of insulin resistance, and eventually to design specific therapies directed at correcting this defect.Another justification for studying the postreceptor actions of insulin derives from the fact that insulin represents a class of growth factors, which also includes insulin-like growth factor I and colony-stimulating factor 1, whose actions do not appear to be mediated by the rapid stimulation of inositol or choline phospholipid hydrolysis. Stimulation of the breakdown of these phospholipids through the activation of phospholipase C or D represents a very common mode of signal transduction that is employed by numerous other growth factors, as well as by many classes of drugs, neurotransmitters and hormones. I Iowever, many of these agonists, in particular growth factors such as platelet-derived growth factor or epidermal growth factor (EGF), can also act on cells through mechanisms apparently independent of phospholipase C or D activation. We therefore view the study of insulin’s mechanism of signal transduction as a paradigm for the phospholipase-independent effects of a number of other growth factors and hormones.
