During metabolic stress, such as ischemia or hypoxia, glucose becomes the principal energy source for the heart. It has been shown that increased cardiac glucose uptake during metabolic stress has a protective effect on cell survival and heart function. Despite its physiological importance, only limited data are available on the molecular mechanisms regulating glucose uptake under these conditions. We used 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP), an uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation, as a model to mimic hypoxia and gain insight into the signaling pathway underlying metabolic stress-induced glucose uptake in primary cultures of rat adult cardiomyocytes. The results demonstrate that 0.1 mM DNP induces 2.2- and 9-fold increases in AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and p38 MAPK phosphorylation, respectively. This is associated with a 2.3-fold increase in glucose uptake in these cells. To further delineate the role of AMPK in the regulation of glucose uptake, we used two complementary approaches: pharmacological inhibition of the enzyme with adenine 9-ß-D arabinofuranoside and adenoviral infection with a dominant-negative AMPK (DN-AMPK) mutant. Our results show that overexpression of DN-AMPK completely suppressed DNP-mediated phosphorylation of acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase, a downstream target of AMPK. Inhibition of AMPK with either 9-ß-D arabinofuranoside or DN-AMPK also abolished DNP-mediated p38 MAPK phosphorylation. Importantly, AMPK inhibition only partially decreased DNP-stimulated glucose uptake in cardiomyocytes. Inhibition of p38 MAPK with the pharmacological agent PD169316 also partially reduced (70%) glucose uptake in response to DNP. In conclusion, our results indicate that p38 MAPK acts downstream of AMPK in cardiomyocytes and that activation of the AMPK/p38 MAPK signaling cascade is essential for maximal stimulation of glucose uptake in response to DNP in adult cardiomyocytes.
