PG - 1499-516 AB - BACKGROUND/AIMS: Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha)-mediated chronic low-grade inflammation of adipose tissue is associated with obesity and insulin resistance. Caveolin-1 (Cav-1) is the central component of adipocyte caveolae and has an essential role in the regulation of insulin signaling. The effects of TNF-alpha on Cav-1 expression and insulin signaling during adipocyte differentiation and in mature adipocytes were studied. METHODS: 3T3-L1 cells were differentiated (21 days) in the presence TNF-alpha (10 ng/mL) and mature adipocytes were also treated with TNF-alpha for 48 hours. Cav-1 and insulin receptor (IR) gene methylation were determined as well as Cav-1, IR, PKB/AKT-2 and Glut-4 expression and activation by real time RT-PCR and western blot. Baseline and insulin-induced glucose uptake was measured by the 2-[C14]-deoxyglucose uptake assay. RESULTS: TNF-alpha slowed down the differentiation program, hindering the expression of some insulin signaling intermediates without fully eliminating insulin-mediated glucose uptake. In mature adipocytes, TNF-alpha did not compromise lipid-storage capacity, but downregulated the expression of the insulin signaling intermediates, totally blocking insulin-mediated glucose uptake. Insulin sensitivity correlated with the level of activated phospho-Cav-1 in both situations, strongly suggesting the direct contribution of Cav-1 to the maintenance of this physiological response. CONCLUSION: Cav-1 activation by phosphorylation seems to be essential for the maintenance of an active and insulin-sensitive glucose uptake. CI - (c) 2015 S. Karger AG, Basel.
