Rat hepatoma cell variants resistant to insulin-diphtheria toxin A fragment conjugates. Genetic evidence for the separate pathways for insulin receptor-mediated mitogenic and hormonal stimulation

Y Shimizu and N Shimizu

The rat hepatoma H35 cells in serum-free medium produce tyrosine aminotransferase (TAT) and initiate DNA synthesis and cell division upon exposure to 10(-9)-10(-10) M insulin. This insulin-dependent hormonal and mitogenic stimulation is through the insulin receptors and not through the receptors for insulin-like growth factor type I. We have isolated genetic variants of H35 cells which are resistant to a cytotoxic insulin-diphtheria toxin A fragment conjugate. These variants showed different degrees of insulin binding capacity and exhibited different sensitivities to insulin-stimulated TAT and DNA synthesis. Variant DTaI-b had a slight decrease in number of insulin receptors but completely lost sensitivity to both TAT and DNA stimulation. Variant 11- 1 had a reduced number of insulin receptors but retained both TAT and DNA inducibilities. Variant 14-1, which had a high number of insulin receptors, was not responsive to DNA synthesis but was responsive to TAT induction. The beta-subunit of insulin receptors in these cell variants had different sensitivities to their insulin-dependent autophosphorylation. The rat hepatoma HTC cells used as a control showed very low insulin binding, no stimulation of TAT and DNA synthesis by insulin, and no detectable insulin-enhancement of beta- subunit phosphorylation. These characteristics provide genetic evidence for the divergence of the insulin receptor-mediated mitogenic and hormonal signals during the post-receptor pathways which is apparently regulated by the insulin-dependent phosphorylation.
