dc.description.abstract | Patients with diabetes are at higher risk of stroke and experience increased morbidity and mortality after stroke. We hypothesized that cortical neurons develop insulin resistance, which decreases neuroprotection via circulating insulin and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I). Acute insulin treatment of primary embryonic cortical neurons activated insulin signaling including phosphorylation of the insulin receptor, extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), Akt, p70S6K, and glycogen synthase kinase-3- (GSK-3-). To mimic insulin resistance, cortical neurons were chronically treated with 25-mM glucose, 0.2-mM palmitic acid (PA), or 20-nM insulin before acute exposure to 20-nM insulin. Cortical neurons pretreated with insulin, but not glucose or PA, exhibited blunted phosphorylation of Akt, p70S6K, and GSK-3- with no change detected in ERK. Inhibition of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-K) pathway during insulin pretreatment restored acute insulin-mediated Akt phosphorylation. Cortical neurons in adult BKS-db/db mice exhibited higher basal Akt phosphorylation than BKS-db+ mice and did not respond to insulin. Our results indicate that prolonged hyperinsulinemia leads to insulin resistance in cortical neurons. Decreased sensitivity to neuroprotective ligands may explain the increased neuronal damage reported in both experimental models of diabetes and diabetic patients after ischemia-reperfusion injury.
