To explore the effect of chronic high dose of insulin on lipolysis in porcine adipocytes and the underlying molecular regulation mechanisms, we cultured primary porcine adipocytes and incubated them with different concentrations of insulin (0, 200, 400, 800, 1600 nmol/L) for 24~96 h in the absence or presence of specific protein kinase A (PKA) inhibitor or extracellular signal-related kinase (ERK) inhibitor. Then, we measured the glycerol release into the culture media as an indicator of the lipolysis, and observed the lipid accumulation morphology by phase-contrast microscopy. Further, we analyzed the gene expressions of perilipin A and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma2 (PPARg2) with semi-quantitative RT-PCR and Western blotting, respectively. The results showed that chronic high dose of insulin stimulated lipolysis in differentiated porcine adipocytes in a dose- and time-dependent manner, and significantly attenuated the lipolytic response to isoprenaline. Meanwhile, the protein and mRNA expressions of PPARγ2 and perilipin A were significantly reduced. In addition, both PKA and ERK inhibitors significantly suppressed insulin-stimulated lipolysis, however, only ERK inhibitor reversed the insulin-induced down-regulation of perilipin A. These findings imply that chronic high dose of insulin stimulates lipolysis in porcine adipocytes by repressing perilipin A, which is involved in ERK pathway.
