Myeloid Differentiation Factor 88 (MyD88)-Deficiency Increases Risk of Diabetes in Mice

Abstract: BackgroundMultiple lines of evidence suggest innate immune response pathways to be involved in the development of obesity-associated diabetes although the molecular mechanism underling the disease is unknown. Recent observations suggest that saturated fatty acids can act as a ligand for toll-like receptor (TLR) 4, which is thought to mediate obesity-associated insulin resistance. Myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88) is an adapter protein for TLR/IL-1 receptor signaling, which is involved in the activation… Show more

“…43 However this is not always the case, as there is evidence to suggest MyD88 null mice have an exaggerated response to high fat diet-induced increases in leptin, insulin, cholesterol and indices of liver inflammation. 44 To our knowledge, there is no other report of the effects of physical activity or exercise on the protein content of MyD88 in adipose tissue, and therefore the physiological relevance of the increased MyD88 in both iWAT and eWAT with VWR warrants future investigation. As a secondary assessment, we considered the role of FST as a potential molecular mediator as others have shown that FST increases in circulation after LPS exposure and can act to reduce inflammation.…”

“…The intracellular signals downstream of TLR activation occur via multiple pathways, which may be dependent on, or independent of, the adaptor protein MyD88. While MyD88-dependent signaling contributes to hypothalamic inflammation with obesity (61), its role in other metabolic tissues is unclear, as Myd88 -/-mice are more susceptible to insulin resistance with DIO (91). Activation of IκB kinase-β (IKKβ) occurs downstream of MyD88 and plays critical roles in inflammation in the liver, myeloid cells, and the hypothalamus in the obese state (92,93).…”

“…In addition to the MyD88-dependent pathway, TLR4 recruits TRIF to activate downstream signaling cascades and the activation of IRF3 (Figure 1). Myd88 -/-mice fed a HFD exhibited increased circulating levels of insulin, leptin, and cholesterol, which is associated with insulin and leptin resistance and development of severe T2DM 58 . Myd88 -/-mice also had smaller islets and abnormal glucose tolerance after treatment with low-dose streptozotocin-a naturally occurring chemical that has toxic effects on insulin-producing β cells 59 .…”
