TNF-α induces vascular insulin resistance via positive modulation of PTEN and decreased Akt/eNOS/NO signaling in high fat diet-fed mice

Abstract: BackgroundHigh fat diet (HFD) induces insulin resistance in various tissues, including the vasculature. HFD also increases plasma levels of TNF-α, a cytokine that contributes to insulin resistance and vascular dysfunction. Considering that the enzyme phosphatase and tension homologue (PTEN), whose expression is increased by TNF-α, reduces Akt signaling and, consequently, nitric oxide (NO) production, we hypothesized that PTEN contributes to TNF-α-mediated vascular resistance to insulin induced by HFD.

“…These findings were supported by many other independent studies in multiple experimental models over time (for example, see (da Costa et al, 2016) and a complete list at www.metaflammation.org). While less definitive human genetics associations in which TNF polymorphisms have been linked to obesity, diabetes and other aspects of metabolic syndrome, including polycystic ovary syndrome and sleep apnea also started to emerge (Huang et al, 2012a; Sookoian et al, 2005).…”

“…The proposed mechanisms include impaired anti‐contractile function, perivascular inflammation via production of pro‐inflammatory cytokines and chemokines and the accumulation of macrophages, as well as dysregulation of adipocyte‐derived adipokines (Guzik et al, ; Ketonen et al, ; Fernández‐Alfonso et al, ; Sun et al, ). TNF‐α, which plays a critical role in the development of vascular dysfunction, insulin resistance, inflammation and atherosclerosis, is produced by the PVAT (Omar et al, ; Virdis et al, ; da Costa et al, ). TNF‐α also induces adipocyte dysfunction, leading to a vicious circle between adipocytes and macrophages, which may aggravate inflammatory changes in PVAT (Takaoka et al, ; Oriowo, ).…”
