The adipose triglyceride lipase, adiponectin and visfatin are downregulated by tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) in vivo
Abstract
Inflammatory cytokines have been linked to obesity-related insulin resistance. To investigate the effect of TNF-alpha, an inflammatory cytokine, on insulin action, C57BL/6J mice were treated with TNF-alpha for 7 days after which we examined the in vivo effects of TNF-alpha on glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity with IV glucose tolerance tests and hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamps. In addition, we analyzed the in vivo effect of TNF-alpha on several metabolism-related genes and adipocytokines implicated in the development of insulin resistance. TNF-alpha treatment resulted in markedly increased fasting blood glucose, insulin and free fatty acids (FFA) levels and reduced glucose tolerance. During the clamps, the rates insulin-stimulated whole body (G(Rd)) and skeletal muscle glucose uptake (MGU) and insulin's ability to suppress hepatic glucose production (HGP) were decreased in TNF-alpha treated animals, indicating insulin resistance. In addition, both PPARgamma and ATGL mRNA expression in adipose tissues as well as ATGL protein levels in plasma were downregulated. Moreover, adipose mRNA expression and plasma protein levels of adiponectin and visfatin were significantly down-regulated. We conclude that the alterations of PPARgamma, ATGL, adiponectin and visfatin may contribute to the development of insulin resistance mediated by TNF-alpha.
