Abstract

Abstract Lipotoxicity is a form of cellular stress caused by the accumulation of lipids resulting in mitochondrial dysfunction and insulin resistance in muscle. Previously, we demonstrated that the mitophagy receptor Nix is responsive to lipotoxicity and accumulates in response to diacylglycerols induced by high-fat (HF) feeding. In addition, previous studies have implicated autophagy and mitophagy in muscle insulin sensitivity. To provide a better understanding of these observations, we undertook gene expression array and shot-gun metabolomics studies in soleus muscle from rodents on an HF diet. Interestingly, we observed a modest reduction in several autophagy-related genes including Beclin-1, ATG3, and -5. Moreover, we observed alterations in the fatty acyl composition of cardiolipins and phosphatidic acids. Given the previously reported roles of these phospholipids and Nix in mitochondrial dynamics, we investigated aberrant mitochondrial fission and turn-over as a mechanism of myocyte insulin resistance. In a series of gain-of-function and loss-of-function experiments in rodent and human myotubes, we demonstrate that Nix accumulation triggers mitochondrial depolarization, fragmentation, calcium-dependent activation of DRP1, and mitophagy. In addition, Nix-induced mitochondrial fission leads to myotube insulin resistance through activation of mTOR-p70S6 kinase inhibition of IRS1, which is contingent on phosphatidic acids and Rheb. Finally, we demonstrate that Nix-induced mitophagy and insulin resistance can be reversed by direct phosphorylation of Nix by PKA, leading to the translocation of Nix from the mitochondria and sarcoplasmic reticulum to the cytosol. These findings provide insight into the role of Nix-induced mitophagy and myocyte insulin resistance during an overfed state when overall autophagy-related gene expression is reduced. Furthermore, our data suggests a mechanism by which exercise or pharmacological activation of PKA may overcome myocyte insulin resistance. Graphical Abstract

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.
