Abstract

The conserved structural protein β-catenin is an emerging regulator of vesicle trafficking in multiple tissues and supports insulin-stimulated glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) translocation in skeletal muscle by facilitating cortical actin remodelling. Actin remodelling may be a convergence point between insulin and exercise/contraction-stimulated glucose uptake. Here we investigated whether β-catenin is involved in regulating exercise/contraction-stimulated glucose uptake. We report that the muscle-specific deletion of β-catenin induced in adult mice (BCAT-mKO) impairs both exercise- and contraction (isolated muscle)-induced glucose uptake without affecting running performance or canonical exercise signalling pathways. Furthermore, high intensity exercise in mice and contraction of myotubes and isolated muscles led to the phosphorylation of β-cateninS675, and this was impaired by Rac1 inhibition. Moderate intensity exercise in control and Rac1 muscle-specific knockout mice did not induce muscle β-cateninS675 phosphorylation, suggesting exercise intensity-dependent regulation of β-cateninS675. Introduction of a non-phosphorylatable S675A mutant of β-catenin into myoblasts impaired GLUT4 translocation and actin remodelling stimulated by carbachol, a Rac1 and RhoA activator. Exercise-induced increases in cross-sectional phalloidin staining (F-actin marker) of gastrocnemius muscle was impaired in muscle from BCAT-mKO mice. Collectively our findings suggest that β-catenin is required for optimal glucose transport in muscle during exercise/contraction, potentially via facilitating actin cytoskeleton remodelling.
