CPT I overexpression protects L6E9 muscle cells from fatty acid-induced insulin resistance.

چکیده
Oversupply of lipids to skeletal muscle causes insulin resistance by promoting the accumulation of lipid-derived metabolites that inhibit insulin signaling. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that overexpression of carnitine palmitoyltransferase I (CPT I) could protect myotubes from fatty acid-induced insulin resistance by reducing lipid accumulation in the muscle cell. Incubation of L6E9 myotubes with palmitate caused accumulation of triglycerides, diacylgycerol, and ceramide, produced an activation of PKCtheta and PKCzeta, and blocked insulin-stimulated glucose metabolism, reducing insulin-stimulated PKB activity by 60%. Transduction of L6E9 myotubes with adenoviruses encoding for liver CPT I (LCPT I) wild-type (WT), or a mutant form of LCPT I (LCPT I M593S), which is insensitive to malonyl-CoA, produced a twofold increase in palmitate oxidation when LCPT I activity was increased threefold. LCPT I WT and LCPT I M593S-overexpressing L6E9 myotubes showed normal insulin-stimulated glucose metabolism and an improvement in PKB activity when pretreated with palmitate. Moreover, LCPT I WT- and LCPT I M593S-transduced L6E9 myotubes were protected against the palmitate-induced accumulation of diacylglycerol and ceramide and PKCtheta and -zeta activation. These results suggest that LCPT I overexpression protects L6E9 myotubes from fatty acid-induced insulin resistance by inhibiting both the accumulation of lipid metabolites and the activation of PKCtheta and PKCzeta.

Upregulation of myocellular DGAT1 augments triglyceride synthesis in skeletal muscle and protects against fat-induced insulin resistance.
Increased fat deposition in skeletal muscle is associated with insulin resistance. However, exercise increases both intramyocellular fat stores and insulin sensitivity, a phenomenon referred to as "the athlete's paradox". In this study, we provide evidence that augmenting triglyceride synthesis in skeletal muscle is intrinsically connected with increased insulin sensitivity. Exercise increased ...
متن کاملStoring up trouble: does intramyocellular triglyceride accumulation protect skeletal muscle from insulin resistance?
1. Insulin resistance occurs when normal amounts of insulin are inadequate to produce a normal insulin response from cells. This is important in the context of whole-body glucose homeostasis because skeletal muscle is the main tissue for insulin-stimulated glucose disposal. 2. In obesity, lipid deposition in peripheral tissues such as skeletal muscle is linked to the activation of stress kinase...
متن کاملNovel role of FATP1 in mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation in skeletal muscle cells
Carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 (CPT1) catalyzes the first step in long-chain fatty acid import into mitochondria, and it is believed to be rate limiting for beta-oxidation of fatty acids. However, in muscle, other proteins may collaborate with CPT1. Fatty acid translocase/CD36 (FAT/CD36) may interact with CPT1 and contribute to fatty acid import into mitochondria in muscle. Here, we demonstra...
متن کاملMalonyl coenzyme A and the regulation of functional carnitine palmitoyltransferase-1 activity and fat oxidation in human skeletal muscle.
Physiological hyperglycemia with hyperinsulinemia reduces fat oxidation in skeletal muscle. The mechanism responsible for this decrease in fat oxidation in human muscle is not known and may contribute to the development of insulin resistance. We hypothesized that the transfer of long-chain fatty acids (LCFAs) into the mitochondria via carnitine palmitoyltransferase-1 (CPT-1) is inhibited by inc...

OBJECTIVE Heat treatment and overexpression of heat shock protein 72 (HSP72) have been shown to protect against high-fat diet-induced insulin resistance, but little is known about the underlying mechanism or the target tissue of HSP action. The purpose of this study is to determine whether in vivo heat treatment can prevent skeletal muscle insulin resistance. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Male ...
