Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) regulates muscle differentiation throu
gh phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase), Also it was recently report
ed that PI 3-kinase is involved in the activation of phospholipase C-gamma1
(PLC-gamma1), We investigated whether PLC-gamma1 therefore plays a role in
IGF-I-induced muscle differentiation using H9c2 rat cardiac myoblasts as a
model. IGF-I was able to activate PLC-gamma1 via both PI3-kinase-dependent
and tyrosine phosphorylation-dependent mechanisms in this model. However,
PI 3-kinase appeared to play a more important role than tyrosine phosphoryl
ation in IGF-I activation of PLC-gamma1, In addition, PLC-gamma1. activatio
n was independent of Akt/ protein kinase B (Akt/PKB), Importantly, PLC-gamm
a1 was involved in IGF-I-induced muscle differentiation in parallel with Ak
t/PKB, Taken together, these results suggest that IGF-I regulation of muscl
e differentiation is dependent on the activation of PLC-gamma1 and Akt/PKB,
both of which are downstream mediators of PI 3-kinase. (C) 2001 Academic P
