TNF‐α, a potent lipid metabolism regulator

Abstract: As a multifunctional cytokine, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-a) exerts a series of biological actions in different cells, tissues, organs, and species and has been demonstrated to regulate and interfere with energy metabolism, especially lipid homeostasis. A large body of researches suggested that the effects of TNF-a on lipid metabolism mainly include five aspects: (1) suppresses free fatty acid (FFA) uptake and promotes lipogenesis; (2) induces lipolysis; (3) inhibits lipid-metabolism-related enzymes acti… Show more

“…Inflammatory conditions under bacterial or viral infections were found to result in an increase in the serum concentration of triglycerides and a decrease in the serum HDL-cholesterol in humans (17,18). Multiple cytokines are likely to affect the metabolism of cholesterol or triglycerides through several pathways, including the increased production and decreased clearance of very low-density lipoproteins, impaired reverse cholesterol transport and decreased excretion of bile acids (16,(19)(20)(21). We now showed that rs6929846 of BTN2A1 was significantly associated with hypertriglyceridemia in Japanese and Korean populations and with reduced serum concentrations of HDL-cholesterol in Japanese individuals, with the minor T allele representing a risk factor for these conditions.…”

“…1). It is known from the lite rature data that an increase of TNFα secretion under adipose tissue hypertrophy induces lipolysis that causes the increase of FFA pool and their ex-екСпериМентальні роботи cessive income to the liver, where they are involved in the TAG synthesis [17,18]. Beside the activation of TAG synthesis in the liver, the overproduction of TNFα leads to the decrease of TAG-enriched VLDL clearance that is associated with its inhibiting effect on lipoprotein lipase [19].…”

“…Another important factor that directly acts on adipocyte metabolism is TNF-α. It stimulates lipolysis, increases free fatty acid production (Chen et al, 2009) and promotes leptin release from adipocytes (Simons et al, 2005). TNF-α can be secreted by the adipose tissue itself and it can metabolically promote negative energy balance (Galic et al, 2010) by paracrine functions.…”
