Differential unfolded protein response in skeletal muscle from non-diabetic glucose tolerant or intolerant patients with obesity before and after bariatric surgery

Abstract: Aims: Not all people with obesity become glucose intolerant, suggesting differential activation of cellular pathways. The Unfolded Protein Response (UPR) may contribute to the development of insulin resistance in several organs but its role in skeletal muscle remains debated. Therefore, we explored the UPR activation in muscle from non-diabetic glucose tolerant or intolerant patients with obesity, and the impact of bariatric procedures. Methods: Muscle biopsies from 22 normoglycemic (NG, blood glucose measured… Show more

“…Glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78) is an ER chaperone that is involved in protein folding and initiation of the UPR by binding to misfolded proteins. GRP78 expression is known to be increased in the skeletal muscle of glucose-intolerant patients with obesity and was positively correlated with fasting glucose levels [ 9 ]. The expression of ER stress markers in adipocytes is higher in obese human subjects than that in lean controls, and is correlated with body mass index and fat mass [ 10 ].…”

“…The UPR is normally activated in order to restore cell homeostasis and cell survival [71]. The increased expression of UPR was found in adipocytes and skeletal muscle of obese persons and glucose intolerant individuals, whereas their expressions were modulated by weight reduction [72,73]. The intimate link between the increased UPR activity and the impaired insulin signaling transduction has been addressed.…”
