Resistin, a recently described adipocyte factor, is regulated by peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) agonists. While resistin has been proposed to mediate insulin resistance in rodents, little is known about human resistin and its expression in pancreatic islets has not been tested. The goal of the present study was therefore to analyze whether resistin, like PPARgamma, is expressed in islets. Human islets from seven donors were analyzed by quantitative RT-PCR revealing resistin expression in all samples. Immunohistochemistry using a resistin-specific antibody on human pancreatic sections localized resistin protein to the islets. Mouse resistin was also detected in the Min6 beta cell line. Interestingly, we found a 4-fold increase in islet resistin expression in insulin resistant A-ZIP transgenic compared to wild-type mice. Our results demonstrate that resistin is expressed in islets and up-regulated in insulin resistance and thereby shed new light on the role of resistin in mice and humans. 相似文献

Resistin down-regulates insulin receptor expression, and modulates cell viability in rodent pancreatic beta-cells 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The adipokine resistin is known to induce insulin resistance in rodent tissues. Increases in adipose tissue mass are known to have a negative effect on pancreatic beta-cell function, although the mechanisms are poorly understood. This study investigated the effects of resistin on insulin secretion, insulin receptor expression and cell viability in pancreatic beta-cells. BTC-6 or BRIN-BD11 cells were treated for 24h with resistin, and insulin receptor expression, insulin secretion and cell viability were measured. Incubation with 40ng/ml resistin caused significant decreases in insulin receptor mRNA and protein expression, but did not affect insulin secretion. At low concentrations, resistin caused significant increases in cell viability. These data implicate resistin as a factor that may regulate beta-cell function/viability, and suggests a potential mechanism by which increased adiposity causes beta-cell dysfunction. 相似文献

Resistin, a hormone secreted by adipocytes, is suggested to be an important link between obesity and diabetes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the regulatory effect of estrogen on adipocyte resistin gene expression in ovariectomized (OVX) rats and in isolated rat adipocytes in vitro. Subcutaneous injection of estradiol benzoate reduced resistin mRNA levels in adipocytes isolated from the inguinal, parametrial, perirenal, retroperitoneal, or periovarian fat deposits of OVX rats, while an in vitro study showed that estradiol treatment decreased resistin mRNA levels in cultured rat periovarian fat adipocytes. Results of Western blotting analysis also showed that estrogen decreased adipose resistin contents in vivo and in vitro. These data suggest that estrogen is a pivotal negative regulator of resistin gene expression. 相似文献

Although resistin has been thought to be an important link between obesity and diabetes, recent results do not support this hypothesis. We speculated that resistin may be involved in inflammatory processes and be induced by inflammatory stimuli. In this study, we tested whether lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced resistin expression in rats. The results show that resistin mRNA levels in white adipose tissue and white blood cells were increased by LPS treatment. LPS also increased resistin mRNA levels in 3T3-L1 adipocytes and human peripheral blood monocytes. The results suggest that resistin is involved in insulin resistance and probably in other inflammatory responses. 相似文献

An adipokine resistin, a small cysteine-rich protein, is one of the major risk factors of insulin resistance. In the present study, transiently resistin-expressing mice using adenovirus method showed an impaired glucose tolerance due to insulin resistance. We found that resistin-expressing mice exhibited impaired insulin secretory response to glucose. In addition, in vitro treatment with resistin for 1 day induced insulin resistance in pancreatic islets and impaired glucose-stimulated insulin secretion by elevating insulin release at basal glucose (2.8 mM) and suppressing insulin release at stimulatory glucose (8.3 mM). In addition, resistin inhibited insulin-induced phosphorylation of Akt in islets as well as other insulin target organs. Furthermore, resistin induced SOCS-3 expression in beta-cells. In conclusion, resistin induces insulin resistance in islet beta-cells at least partly via induction of SOCS-3 expression and reduction of Akt phosphorylation and impairs glucose-induced insulin secretion. 相似文献

Resistin is a cysteine-rich protein postulated to be a molecular link between obesity and type 2 diabetes. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of PPAR gamma in the regulation of resistin expression in human primary macrophages. Fluorescent real-time PCR (Taqman) analysis of resistin expression across a range of human tissues showed that resistin is highly expressed in bone marrow compared to other tissues. Taqman analysis and Western blotting showed that rosiglitazone decreased resistin expression at both the mRNA and protein levels in human primary monocyte-derived macrophages in vitro. Resistin expression was reduced by up to 80% after exposure to 100 nM rosiglitazone for 96 h. Bioinformatics analysis of the genomic sequence upstream of the resistin coding sequence identified several putative PPAR response elements of which one was shown to bind PPAR gamma using electrophoretic mobility shift assays. Our data support a direct role for PPAR gamma in the regulation of resistin expression. 相似文献

Conditioned medium obtained from in vitro differentiated adipocytes and resistin induce insulin resistance in human hepatocytes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Adipocyte-derived factors might play a role in the development of hepatic insulin resistance. Resistin was identified as an adipokine linking obesity and insulin resistance. Resistin is secreted from adipocytes in rodents but in humans it was proposed to originate from macrophages and its impact for insulin resistance has remained elusive. To analyze the role of adipokines in general and resistin as a special adipokine, we cultured the human liver cell line HepG2 with adipocyte-conditioned medium (CM) containing various adipokines such as IL-6 and MCP-1, and resistin. CM and resistin both induce insulin resistance with a robust decrease in insulin-stimulated phosphorylation of Akt and GSK3. Insulin resistance could be prevented by co-treatment with troglitazone but not by co-stimulation with adiponectin. As human adipocytes do not secrete resistin, HepG2 cells were also treated with resistin added into CM. CM with resistin addition induced stronger insulin resistance than CM alone pointing to a specific role of resistin in the initiation of hepatic insulin resistance in humans. 相似文献

Excessive lipid accumulation in macrophages plays an important role in the development of atherosclerosis. Recently, several studies have implied that resistin, an adipocytokine which is mainly expressed in human peripheral blood monocytes, may take part in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. In this study, we investigated the effects of resistin on lipid accumulation as well as oxLDL on resistin expression in human macrophages. Treatment of macrophages with oxLDL significantly increased resistin mRNA expression, whereas native LDL had no such effect. Resistin pre-treated macrophages contained more and larger lipid droplets stained by Nile red. Resistin increased the expression of CD36 at both mRNA and protein levels, without affecting those of class A macrophage scavenger receptor (SR-A). These results suggest that resistin promotes lipid accumulation in human macrophages through its upregulating CD36 cell surface expression. Also, it is suggested that resistin may act as a modulator for macrophage-to-foam cell transformation. 相似文献

Lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor-1 (LOX-1) is a receptor for oxidized LDL, and is strongly expressed in endothelial cells at an early stage of atherosclerosis. LOX-1 expression in adipocytes is induced by PPARγ (ligands and appears to be involved in adipocyte cholesterol metabolism. However, the role of adipose tissue LOX-1 in high-fat diet-induced obesity is unknown. We found that mRNA levels of adipose tissue LOX-1 were markedly increased in obese mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD) compared with those fed normal chow. The levels were closely correlated with those of a proinflammatory cytokine, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1). Then, LOX-1 knockout (LOX-1-KO) and wild-type (WT) mice were fed HFD for 16 weeks. HFD feeding increased the body and mesenteric fat weights similarly in WT and LOX-1-KO mice. HFD-induced expressions of proinflammatory cytokines such as MCP-1, MIP-1α, and IL-6 were significantly less in LOX-1-KO than WT mice. Thus, LOX-1 is required for the HFD-induced expression of proinflammatory cytokines in the adipose tissue of obese mice. 相似文献

Inflammation and infiltration of immune cells in white adipose tissue have been implicated in the development of obesity-associated insulin resistance. Likewise, dysregulation of the fuel-sensing enzyme AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) has been proposed as a pathogenetic factor for these abnormalities based on both its links to insulin action and its anti-inflammatory effects. In this study, we examined the relationships between AMPK activity, the expression of multiple inflammatory markers in visceral (mesenteric and omental) and abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue, and whole-body insulin sensitivity in morbidly obese patients (BMI 48 ± 1.9 kg/m2) undergoing gastric bypass surgery. AMPK activity was assessed by Western-blots (P-AMPK/T-AMPK) and mRNA levels of various markers of inflammation by qRT-PCR. Patients were stratified as insulin sensitive obese or insulin-resistant obese according to their HOMA-IR values. The results indicate that AMPK activity is lower in visceral than in subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue of these patients and that this is associated with an increased expression of multiple inflammatory genes. They also revealed that AMPK activity is lower in adipose tissue of obese patients who are insulin resistant (HOMA-IR > 2.3) than in BMI-matched insulin sensitive subjects. Furthermore, this difference was evident in all three fat depots. In conclusion, the data suggest that there are close links between reduced AMPK activity and inflammation in white adipose tissue, and whole-body insulin resistance in obese humans. Whether adipose tissue AMPK dysregulation is a causal factor for the development of the inflammation and insulin resistance remains to be determined. 相似文献

Cholangiocytes, the epithelial cells lining the bile ducts, are an important subset of liver cells. They are involved in the modification of bile volume and composition, and respond to endogenous and exogenous stimuli. Along the biliary tree, two different kinds of cholangiocytes exist: small and large cholangiocytes. Each type has different features and biological role in physiologic and pathologic conditions, and their immunobiology is important for understanding biliary diseases. Cholangiocytes provide the first line of defence against luminal microbes in the hepatobiliary system. Indeed, they express a variety of pattern recognition receptors and may start an antimicrobial defence activating a set of intracellular signalling cascades. In response to injury, cholangiocytes that are normally quiescent become reactive and acquire a neuroendocrine-like phenotype with the release of proinflammatory mediators and antimicrobial peptides, which support biliary epithelial integrity. These molecules act in an autocrine/paracrine manner to modulate cholangiocyte biology and determine the evolution of biliary damage. Failure or dysregulation of such mechanisms may influence the progression of cholangiopathies, a group of diseases that selectively target biliary cells. In this review, we focus on the response of cholangiocytes in inflammatory conditions, with a particular focus on the mechanism driving cholangiocytes adaptation to damage.

Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) are among the ideal nano-sized materials for medical applications such as imaging and drug delivery. Considering the significance of recent reports on acute phase induction of inflammatory mediators by GNPs, we studied the effect of GNPs on proinflammatory cytokines gene expression in mouse brain. Group 1 served as control whereas groups 2–4 were given only one intraperitoneal dose of 5, 20 and 50?nm GNPs, respectively and sacrificed after 24?h. The animals in groups 5–7 also received the same treatment but sacrificed after 7?days. Groups 8–10 received two injections of GNPs (5, 20 and 50?nm, respectively), first at the beginning of study and second on day 6, and sacrificed on day 7. Total RNA was extracted from the cerebral tissue and analyzed for the gene expressions of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α. A single injection of 5?nm diameter GNPs significantly increased the mRNA expression of IL-1β and IL-6 in mouse brain on day 7, which was not augmented by the second dose of the same GNPs. Larger size GNPs (20?nm and 50?nm) did not cause any significant change in the expression of proinflammatory cytokines in mouse brain. In conclusion, systemic administration of small sized GNPs (5?nm) induced a proinflammatory cascade in mouse brain indicating a crucial role of GNPs size on immune response. It is important to use the right sized GNPs in order to avoid an acute phase inflammatory response that could be cytotoxic or interfere with the bioavailability of nanomaterials. 相似文献

In the present study, we examined the ability of immature germinal vesicle (GV) and subjected to in vitro matured (MII) yak oocytes to survive after cryopreservation as well as their subsequent development following in vitro maturation and fertilization. Both GV and MII oocytes were cryopreserved by using two different vitrification solutions (VS); VS-I contained 10% ethylene glycol (EG) and 10% dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) in TCM-199 + 20% (v/v) fetal calf serum (FCS) whereas VS-II contained 40% EG + 18% Ficoll + 0.5 M sucrose in TCM-199 + 20% FCS. The percentage of oocytes found to be morphologically normal was greater (P < 0.01) in VS-I group than in VS-II group. Rates of cleavage (30.6–42.2%) and blastocyst formation (2.9–8.9%) did not differ among groups, but were lower than in unfrozen control (55.7% and 25.4%, P < 0.01). These results show that a combination of EG and DMSO or EG, Ficoll and sucrose can be used to cryopreserve yak oocytes in French straws. 相似文献

The influence of insulin (17.4 nmol l-1) on total gas and methane production, the concentration of total and individual fatty acids and dry matter degradability was investigated in the rumen ciliate culture of Entodinium caudatum. The experimental groups consisted of control group (without insulin) and two groups with insulin application--single shot and long-term application (over 30 days). Fermentation activity of each experimental group was observed on two subgroups: whole protozoan culture (protozoa plus bacteria) and bacterial fraction (bacteria without protozoa). Long-term application of insulin significantly increased methane production and DM degradability in the whole protozoan culture. Total VFA concentration was significantly increased by long-term as well as single-dose application of insulin (by 255% and 158%, respectively). The growth of the protozoa was not influenced by insulin treatments. It can be concluded that the fermentation activity of the community of the rumen ciliate Entodinium caudatum culture was marked stimulated by application of insulin. 相似文献
