Insulin-Inducible SMILE Inhibits Hepatic Gluconeogenesis.

چکیده
The role of a glucagon/cAMP-dependent protein kinase-inducible coactivator PGC-1α signaling pathway is well characterized in hepatic gluconeogenesis. However, an opposing protein kinase B (PKB)/Akt-inducible corepressor signaling pathway is unknown. A previous report has demonstrated that small heterodimer partner-interacting leucine zipper protein (SMILE) regulates the nuclear receptors and transcriptional factors that control hepatic gluconeogenesis. Here, we show that hepatic SMILE expression was induced by feeding in normal mice but not in db/db and high-fat diet (HFD)-fed mice. Interestingly, SMILE expression was induced by insulin in mouse primary hepatocyte and liver. Hepatic SMILE expression was not altered by refeeding in liver-specific insulin receptor knockout (LIRKO) or PKB β-deficient (PKBβ(-/-)) mice. At the molecular level, SMILE inhibited hepatocyte nuclear factor 4-mediated transcriptional activity via direct competition with PGC-1α. Moreover, ablation of SMILE augmented gluconeogenesis and increased blood glucose levels in mice. Conversely, overexpression of SMILE reduced hepatic gluconeogenic gene expression and ameliorated hyperglycemia and glucose intolerance in db/db and HFD-fed mice. Therefore, SMILE is an insulin-inducible corepressor that suppresses hepatic gluconeogenesis. Small molecules that enhance SMILE expression would have potential for treating hyperglycemia in diabetes.

SMILE Is an Insulin-Inducible Transcriptional Corepressor of Hepatic Gluconeogenic Gene Programs.
Insulin is the major hormone that regulates hepatic glucose metabolism by repressing gluconeogenic enzyme-encoding genes, and the counteracting glucagon/protein kinase (PKA)–inducible coactivating peroxisome proliferator– activated receptor g coactivator-1a (PGC-1a) signaling pathway is also well characterized in hepatic glucose metabolism (1–3). Until now, however, the regulation of the insuli...
متن کاملFoxO6 Integrates Insulin Signaling With Gluconeogenesis in the Liver
OBJECTIVE Excessive endogenous glucose production contributes to fasting hyperglycemia in diabetes. This effect stems from inept insulin suppression of hepatic gluconeogenesis. To understand the underlying mechanisms, we studied the ability of forkhead box O6 (FoxO6) to mediate insulin action on hepatic gluconeogenesis and its contribution to glucose metabolism. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We...
متن کاملInducible nitric oxide synthase plays a role in LPS-induced hyperglycemia and insulin resistance.
The molecular mechanisms underlying endotoxin-induced insulin resistance remain unclear. Endotoxin or lipopolysaccharide (LPS) injection is a potent stimulator of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). This study in rats, using the specific iNOS inhibitor aminoguanidine, investigated the role of iNOS in endotoxin-induced hyperglycemia and insulin resistance. LPS injection led to hyperglycemia,...
متن کاملMelanocortin-independent effects of leptin on hepatic glucose fluxes.
Leptin and insulin share some hypothalamic signaling molecules, but their central administration induces different effects on hepatic glucose fluxes. Acute insulin infusion in the third cerebral ventricle inhibits endogenous glucose production (GP), whereas acute leptin infusion stimulates gluconeogenesis but does not alter GP because of a compensatory decrease in glycogenolysis. Because melano...
متن کاملMice lacking thioredoxin-interacting protein provide evidence linking cellular redox state to appropriate response to nutritional signals.
Thioredoxin-interacting protein (Txnip) is a ubiquitous protein that binds with high affinity to thioredoxin and inhibits its ability to reduce sulfhydryl groups via NADPH oxidation. HcB-19 mice contain a nonsense mutation in Txnip that eliminates its expression. Unlike normal animals, HcB-19 mice have approximately 3-fold increase in insulin levels when fasted. The C-peptide/insulin ratio is n...
