Contraction stimulates skeletal muscle glucose uptake predominantly through activation of AMPK and Rac1. However, the molecular details of how contraction activates these signaling proteins is not clear. Recently, Axin1 has been shown to form a complex with AMPK and LKB1 during glucose-starvation dependent activation of AMPK. Here, we demonstrate electrical pulse stimulated (EPS) contraction of C2C12 myotubes or treadmill exercise of C57BL/6 mice enhanced reciprocal co-immunoprecipitation of Axin1 and AMPK from myotube lysates or gastrocnemius muscle tissue. Interestingly, EPS or exercise, upregulated total cellular Axin1 levels in an AMPK-dependent manner in C2C12 myotubes and gastrocnemius mouse muscle, respectively. Also, direct activation of AMPK with AICAR treatment of C2C12 myotubes or gastrocnemius muscle elevated Axin1 protein levels. On the other hand, siRNA-mediated Axin1 knockdown lessened activation of AMPK in contracted myotubes. Further, AMPK inhibition with Compound C or siRNA-mediated knockdown of AMPK or Axin1, blocked contraction-induced GTP-loading of Rac1, PAK phosphorylation and contraction-stimulated glucose uptake. In summary, our results suggest that an AMPK/Axin1-Rac1 signaling path way mediates contraction-stimulated skeletal muscle glucose uptake.
