Troglitazone prevents the inhibitory effects of inflammatory cytokines on insulin-induced adipocyte differentiation in 3T3-L1 cells.

Abstract: Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is implicated in wasting syndromes and insulin resistance in chronic infection and obese-linked diabetes. TNF (10 ng/ml) inhibited adipocyte differentiation of 3T3-L1 cells, and in these TNF treated cells little insulin-stimulated glucose uptake was observed. Treatment of 3T3-L1 cells with troglitazone (1-10 microM) partially prevented this inhibitory effect of TNF on adipogenesis, and enhanced expression of C/EBP alpha and GLUT4, even in the presence of TNF. Troglitazone also preve… Show more

“…Indeed, TZDs decrease TNF-␣ expression in adipocytes of obese animals (13). Moreover, TZDs reduce the antidifferentiation effect of TNF-␣ that is observed after long treatment of adipocytes with high concentrations of TNF-␣ (40,41). Here, we report that two TZDs (pioglitazone and troglitazone) interfere with the ability of TNF-␣ to inhibit the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase activity.…”

“…These suggested that the disappearance of gender difference in our study was not responsible for plasma testosterone level, but might for some other factors such as tumor necrosis factor-a and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-g, both of which are known to affect the regulation of plasma adiponectin and glucose metabolism. [33][34][35][36][37] Togo et al describes that serum adiponectin concentrations in patients with olanzapine were not the same as those in patients with risperidone. 26 The present study could not evaluate the effect of an individual drug on plasma adiponectin levels, because the patients were taking diverse antipsychotic drugs.…”

“…A variety of cytokines have been found to suppress fat cell differentiation. TNF‐α, IL‐1, and many other pro‐inflammatory cytokines have this effect on most cultured pre‐adipocyte lines, and in fact can “de‐differentiate” already mature fat cells 29,30. Indeed, the suppression of adipocyte lipoprotein lipase was used to purify “cachectin,” which was then found to be identical to TNF‐α31 The precise molecular basis for these cytokine effects is still not known, though suppression of expression of several key transcriptional regulators of adipogenesis has been observed.…”
