Experiment

Hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp in p66shc-/- mice on a regular diet
Summary Data Summary
Investigator Giorgio, Marco
Description Longevity of a p66Shc knockout strain (ShcP) was previously attributed to
increased stress resistance and altered mitochondria. Microarrays of ShcP
tissues indicated alterations in insulin signaling. Consistent with this
observation, ShcP mice were more insulin sensitive and glucose tolerant at
organismal and tissue levels, as was a novel p66Shc knockout (ShcL). Increasing
and decreasing Shc expression in cell lines decreased and increased insulin
sensitivity, respectively – consistent with p66Shc's function as a repressor of
insulin signaling. However, differences between the two p66Shc knockout strains
were also observed. ShcL mice were fatter and susceptible to fatty diets, and
their fat was more insulin sensitive than controls. On the other hand, ShcP mice
were leaner and resisted fatty diets, and their adipose was less insulin
sensitive than controls. ShcL and ShcP strains are both highly inbred on the
C57Bl/6 background, so we investigated gene expression at the Shc locus, which
encodes three isoforms, p66, p52, and p46. Isoform p66 is absent in both
strains; thus, the remaining difference to which to attribute the ‘lean’
phenotype is expression of the other two isoforms. ShcL mice have a precise
deletion of p66Shc and normal expression of p52 and p46Shc isoforms in all
tissues; thus, a simple deletion of p66Shc results in a ‘fat’ phenotype.
However, ShcP mice in addition to p66Shc deletion have a fourfold increase in
p46Shc expression in white fat. Thus, p46Shc overexpression in fat, rather than
p66Shc deletion, is the likely cause of decreased adiposity and reduced insulin
sensitivity in the fat of ShcP mice, which has implications for the longevity of
the strain.
