In the present work, insulin's regulation of expression of the transcription factor ATF-3, the putative transcription factor Pip92, and of Insig-1 (an ER resident protein involved in regulation of SREBP-1 activation) have been examined in a liver derived cell line (rat H4IIE hepatoma cells). We report that: (1) Insulin-induced transcription of ATF-3, Pip92, and Insig-1 required MEK-ERK activation (2). Insulin-induced transcription of ATF-3 and Pip92 reached maximum levels within 15 min., and was blocked by wortmannin but not LY294002 (3). In contrast, the maximum level of insulin-induced transcription of Insig-1 was delayed and was not blocked by either wortmannin or LY294002 (4). Insulin activated ERK1/2 in two distinct phases, a rapid peak and a later plateau (5). The delayed plateau phase of insulin-induced ERK1/2 activation was partially PI3-K dependent (6). However the rapid, insulin-induced peak of ERK1/2 activation was blocked by wortmannin, but not LY294002.
