Sterol-regulatory-element-binding protein I c mediates insulin action on hepatic gene expression

Abstract: Effects of insulin on the expression of liver-specific genes are part of the adaptive mechanisms aimed at maintaining energy homeostasis in mammals. When the diet is rich in carbohydrates, secreted insulin stimulates the expression of genes for enzymes involved in glucose utilization (glucokinase, L-type pyruvate kinase and lipogenic enzymes) and inhibits genes for enzymes involved in glucose production (phosphenolpyruvate carboxykinase). The mechanisms by which insulin controls the expression of these genes h… Show more

“…Since Srebp-1c plays a crucial role in insulin-mediated de novo lipogenesis in the liver [30], it is well possible that the improved HFD-induced glucose intolerance accompanied by reduced insulin levels resulted in downregulation of hepatic Srebp-1c expression, thereby attenuating the HFD-induced increase in de novo lipogenesis. Beside insulin levels, Pgc1β could also be involved as it impacts on Srebp-1c expression [31].…”

“…An increase in suppressors of cytokine signaling-3 in the liver leads to persistent hyperinsulinemia, which further exacerbates insulin resistance. 37 Hyperinsulinemia stimulates the transcription factor sterol regulatory element-binding protein-1c, 38 which leads to activation of lipogenic genes and a decrease in fatty oxidation. Additional overproduction of fatty acid and continued lipotoxicity result in further insulin resistance, creating a vicious cycle.…”

“…Both in the fed and fasted state, G6P dehydrogenase (G6PDH) and Taldo expression levels were lower in PPAR α −/− mice and during refeeding, induction of glucokinase expression was blunted [35]. Because SREBP-1c is a major mediator of insulin action on hepatic glycolytic and lipogenic gene expression [59], lower SREBP-1c expression levels in liver of PPAR α −/− mice also point to reduced hepatic insulin sensitivity. …”
