Protein phosphatase 4 (PP4) functions as a critical regulator in tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-?-induced hepatic insulin resistance.

ABSTRACT: Protein phosphatase 4 (PP4) was shown to participate in multiple cellular processes, including DNA damage response, cell cycle and embryo development. Recent studies demonstrated a looming role of PP4 in glucose metabolism. However, whether PP4 is involved in hepatic insulin resistance remains poorly understood. The objective of this study was to estimate the role of PP4 in tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-?-induced hepatic insulin resistance. db/db mice and TNF-?-treated C57BL/6J mice were used as hepatic insulin resistance animal models. In vitro models were established in both HepG2 cells and primary hepatocytes by TNF-? treatment. We found that increased expression and activity of PP4 occurred in the livers of db/db mice and TNF-?-induced hepatic insulin resistance both in vitro and in vivo. Actually, PP4 silencing and suppression of PP4 activity ameliorated TNF-?-induced hepatic insulin resistance, whereas over-expression of PP4 caused insulin resistance. We then further investigated the prodiabetic mechanism of PP4 in TNF-?-induced insulin resistance. We found that PP4 formed a complex with IRS-1 to promote phosphorylation of IRS-1 on serine 307 via JNK activation and reduce the expression of IRS-1. Thus, PP4 is an important regulator in inflammatory related insulin resistance.

Project description:Although coffee consumption has been historically associated with negative health outcomes, recent evidence suggests a lower risk of metabolic syndrome, obesity and diabetes among regular coffee drinkers. Among the plethora of minor organic compounds assessed as potential mediators of coffee health benefits, trigonelline and its pyrolysis product N-methylpyridinium (NMP) were preliminary shown to promote glucose uptake and exert anti-adipogenic properties. Against this background, we aimed at characterizing the effects of trigonelline and NMP in inflamed and dysfunctional human adipocytes. Human Simpson-Golabi-Behmel syndrome (SGBS) adipocytes were treated with NMP or, for comparison, trigonelline, for 5 h before stimulation with tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α. NMP at concentrations as low as 1 µmol/L reduced the stimulated expression of several pro-inflammatory mediators, including C-C Motif chemokine ligand (CCL)-2, C-X-C Motif chemokine ligand (CXCL)-10, and intercellular adhesion Molecule (ICAM)-1, but left the induction of prostaglandin G/H synthase (PTGS)2, interleukin (IL)-1β, and colony stimulating factor (CSF)1 unaffected. Furthermore, NMP restored the downregulated expression of adiponectin (ADIPOQ). These effects were functionally associated with downregulation of the adhesion of monocytes to inflamed adipocytes. Under the same conditions, NMP also reversed the TNF-α-mediated suppression of insulin-stimulated Ser473 Akt phosphorylation and attenuated the induction of TNF-α-stimulated lipolysis restoring cell fat content. In an attempt to preliminarily explore the underlying mechanisms of its action, we show that NMP restores the expression of the master regulator of adipocyte differentiation peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)γ and downregulates activation of the pro-inflammatory mitogen-activated protein jun N-terminal kinase (JNK). In conclusion, NMP reduces adipose dysfunction in pro-inflammatory activated adipocytes. These data suggest that bioactive NMP in coffee may improve the inflammatory and dysmetabolic milieu associated with obesity.

Project description:Glycoproteomics, TNF-alpha, membrane proteomics, insulin resistance, adipocyte, SILAC Insulin resistance (IR) is a complex process arising from both environmental and genetic perturbations and leads to a variety of diseases including type-2 diabetes (T2D). The expansion of adipose tissue during obesity results in secretion of proinflammatory cytokines which significantly impairs insulin sensitivity throughout the entire body. Inflammation modulates glycosylation in a variety of cell types however, an investigation of changes in glycosylation following inflammation-induced IR in adipocytes has not been performed. In the present study, we performed a quantitative N-glycomic analysis of TNF-alpha induced IR in adipocytes and identified the regulation of specific N-glycans including an increase in terminal di-galactose- and decrease in di-sialic acid-containing glycans with alpha-2,3 linkages. Quantitative analysis of the membrane-associated proteome in TNF-alpha treated adipocytes identified the regulation of specific glycosyltransferases and glycosidases which correlated with the regulated N-glycans. This included the up- and down-regulation of B4GalT5 and ST3Gal6, respectively at both the protein and mRNA level. To identify the protein and glycosylation sites modified with these regulated N-glycans, we performed a site-specific quantitative glycoproteomic analysis of enriched N-glycopeptides from TNF-alpha treated adipocytes with and without deglycosylation. The combined workflow provided a relative quantification of changes in protein abundance verses N-glycosylation occupancy verses site-specific N-glycans on a proteome-wide level. This revealed the modulation of a subset of N-glycan compositions on specific proteins including those previously associated with insulin-stimulated GLUT4 trafficking to the plasma membrane. Finally, knockdown of B4GalT5 with siRNA and analysis of released N-glycans resulted in the down-regulation of di-galactose containing glycans, confirming the involvement of this enzyme in the TNF-alpha regulated N-glycome.
