Luteolin Enhances Insulin Sensitivity via Activation of PPARγ Transcriptional Activity in Adipocytes
Abstract
Obesity and insulin resistance have been linked to a low-grade chronic inflammatory response characterized by increased macrophage infiltration, altered cytokine production and activation of inflammatory signaling pathway in adipose tissue. Pharmacological agents and natural products that are capable of reducing inflammatory activity possess anti-diabetic properties. Luteolin, a naturally occurring flavonoid, has been demonstrated to inhibit lipopolysaccharide-induced tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα) release and activation of NF-κB pathway in macrophages. However, little is known about the mechanism and effect of luteolin on inflammation-related insulin resistance in adipocytes. In this study, we investigated the effect of luteolin on insulin action in 3T3-L1 adipocytes and primary adipose cells. Here we showed that luteolin treatment for 24 h increased the response of glucose uptake to insulin stimulation in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Our results also demonstrated that luteolin enhanced Akt2 phosphorylation in an insulin-stimulated state. Furthermore, luteolin treatment decreased mRNA levels of TNFα, interleukin-6 and MCP-1, while it increased the gene expression of adiponectin and leptin in 3T3-L1 adipocytes and primary mouse adipose cells. Most interestingly, we found that treatment of luteolin markedly enhanced peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) transcriptional activity in 3T3-L1 adipocytes, and luteolin-increased expression of adiponectin and leptin was blocked by GW9662, a PPARγ antagonist. Thus, our data suggest that luteolin influences insulin action and production of adipokines/cytokines in adipocytes by activating the PPARγ pathway.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
