To elucidate the involvement of protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms in insulin-induced and phorbol ester-induced glucose transport, we expressed several PKC isoforms, conventional PKC{alpha}, novel PKC{delta}, and atypical PKC isoforms of PKC{lambda} and PKC{zeta}, and their mutants in 3T3-L1 adipocytes using adenovirus-mediated gene transduction system. Endogenous expression and the activities of PKC{alpha} and PKC{lambda}/{zeta}, but not of PKC{delta}, were detected in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Overexpression of each wild-type PKC isoform induced a large amount of PKC activity in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Phorbol 12-myristrate 13-acetate (PMA) activated PKC{alpha} and exogenous PKC{delta}, but not atypical PKC{lambda}/{zeta}. Insulin also activated the overexpressed PKCd but not PKCa. Expression of the wild-type PKC{alpha} or PKC{delta} resulted in significant increases in glucose transport activity in the basal and PMA-stimulated states. Dominant-negative PKC{alpha} expression, which inhibited the PMA activation of PKC{alpha}, decreased in PMA-stimulated glucose transport. Glucose transport activity in the insulin-stimulated state was increased by the expression of PKC{delta} but not of PKC{alpha}. These findings demonstrate that both conventional and novel PKC isoforms are involved in PMA-stimulated glucose transport and that other novel PKC isoforms could participate in PMA-stimulated and insulin-stimulated glucose transport. Atypical PKC{lambda}/{zeta} was not significantly activated by insulin and expression of the wild-type, constitutively active and dominant-negative mutants of atypical PKC did not affect either basal or insulin-stimulated glucose transport. Thus, atypical PKC enzymes do not play a major role in insulin-stimulated glucose transport in 3T3-L1 adipocytes.
