PG - 2126-35 LID - 10.1007/s00125-014-3331-8 [doi] AB - AIM/HYPOTHESIS: Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, which is involved in the link between inflammation and insulin resistance, contributes to the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus. In this study, we assessed whether peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)beta/delta prevented ER stress-associated inflammation and insulin resistance in skeletal muscle cells. METHODS: Studies were conducted in mouse C2C12 myotubes, in the human myogenic cell line LHCN-M2 and in skeletal muscle from wild-type and PPARbeta/delta-deficient mice and mice exposed to a high-fat diet. RESULTS: The PPARbeta/delta agonist GW501516 prevented lipid-induced ER stress in mouse and human myotubes and in skeletal muscle of mice fed a high-fat diet. PPARbeta/delta activation also prevented thapsigargin- and tunicamycin-induced ER stress in human and murine skeletal muscle cells. In agreement with this, PPARbeta/delta activation prevented ER stress-associated inflammation and insulin resistance, and glucose-intolerant PPARbeta/delta-deficient mice showed increased phosphorylated levels of inositol-requiring 1 transmembrane kinase/endonuclease-1alpha in skeletal muscle. Our findings demonstrate that PPARbeta/delta activation prevents ER stress through the activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), and the subsequent inhibition of extracellular-signal-regulated kinase (ERK)1/2 due to the inhibitory crosstalk between AMPK and ERK1/2, since overexpression of a dominant negative AMPK construct (K45R) reversed the effects attained by PPARbeta/delta activation. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION: Overall, these findings indicate that PPARbeta/delta prevents ER stress, inflammation and insulin resistance in skeletal muscle cells by activating AMPK.
