Systemic autophagy insufficiency compromises adaptation to metabolic stress and facilitates progression from obesity to diabetes

Abstract: Despite growing interest in the relationship between autophagy and systemic metabolism, how global changes in autophagy affect metabolism remains unclear. Here we show that mice with global haploinsufficiency of an essential autophagy gene (Atg7 þ / À mice) do not show metabolic abnormalities but develop diabetes when crossed with ob/ob mice. Atg7 þ / À -ob/ob mice show aggravated insulin resistance with increased lipid content and inflammatory changes, suggesting that autophagy haploinsufficiency impairs the … Show more

“…Hence, reduced hepatic macro autophagy due to excess lipid overload -for example, in obesity -exacerbates lipid accumulation in vivo and creates a vicious cycle that promotes hepatic ER stress and insulin resistance 63 . In support of this, reduced lipophagy in Atg7 haploinsufficient mice is a possible cause of progression from obesity to diabetes because increased lipid toxicity promotes insulin resistance 64 .…”

“…The reduced capacity of autophagy with aging generates an inflammatory condition via activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome and such disturbed interplay between autophagy and inflammaosomes is linked to the pathogenesis of T2DM, obesity, and atherosclerosis 119 . Systemic impairment of autophagy by haploinsufficiency of the essential autophagy gene (Atg7 +/-) in ob/ob mice aggravated insulin resistance with increased lipid contents and inflammatory changes 120 . Furthermore, mice with a Lyz2-Cre-mediated knockout of Atg5 in macrophages fed a HFD and administered LPS demonstrated systemic and hepatic inflammation 121 .…”
