Interleukin-1 receptor antagonist is upregulated during diet-induced obesity and regulates insulin sensitivity in rodents

Abstract: Aims/hypothesis: The IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) is an anti-inflammatory cytokine known to antagonise the actions of IL-1. We have previously shown that IL-1Ra is markedly upregulated in the serum of obese patients, is correlated with BMI and insulin resistance, and is overexpressed in the white adipose tissue (WAT) of obese humans. The aim of this study was to examine the role of IL-1Ra in the regulation of glucose homeostasis in rodents. Methods: We assessed the expression of genes related to IL-1 sign… Show more

“…38 In contrast to surface marker expression corresponding to anti-inflammatory M2-like cells, the large amounts of proinflammatory cytokines secreted by ATMs (Figure 5), in contrast to typical M2 macrophages, 39 support a role of ATMs in obesity-induced adipocyte dysfunction and metabolic disorders, although IL-Ra also may contribute to the onset of insulin resistance. 40 The high basal cytokine production of ATMs shown in this study does not necessarily imply that unstimulated ATMs secrete these large amounts of cytokines in situ, since ATMs could have been stimulated during their isolation and cultivation. However, our data reveal that ATMs have the capacity to produce large amounts of cytokines and that they are responsive to Toll-like receptor ligands and cytokines such as LPS and IFN-g ( Figure 5).…”

“…Another plausible explanation is that the ability of TLR4 deficiency to improve insulin resistance in adipose tissue and not muscle is regulated through PPARG , whose levels are up to 50-fold higher in adipose tissues than in skeletal muscles [47]. IL1RN may be involved in the described phenotype by virtue of its ability to reduce insulin sensitivity in muscle through a specific decrease in glucose uptake as recently described in rats [48]. Alternatively, it remains possible that plasma factor(s) dominantly affect insulin signalling in muscles by mechanisms that are independent of TLR4.…”

“…The interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (Il1rn) and Ssp1 were among the genes most dramatically repressed in WAT of ROR␣ sg/sg mice. IL1rn has been reported to be highly upregulated in WAT of obese humans and to regulate insulin sensitivity (21,45), while Il1rn-deficient mice exhibited decreased adiposity and increased energy expenditure (46). Ssp1 expression was found to be elevated in obesity, while neutralization of Ssp1 was shown to inhibit obesity-induced inflammation and insulin resistance (3,28).…”
