Cytokine regulation of skeletal muscle fatty acid metabolism: effect of interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α
Abstract
IL-6 and TNF-alpha have been associated with insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Furthermore, abnormalities in muscle fatty acid (FA) metabolism are strongly associated with the development of insulin resistance. However, few studies have directly examined the effects of either IL-6 or TNF-alpha on skeletal muscle FA metabolism. Here, we used a pulse-chase technique to determine the effect of IL-6 (50-5,000 pg/ml) and TNF-alpha (50-5,000 pg/ml) on FA metabolism in isolated rat soleus muscle. IL-6 (5,000 pg/ml) increased exogenous and endogenous FA oxidation by approximately 50% (P < 0.05) but had no effect on FA uptake or incorporation of FA into endogenous lipid pools. In contrast, TNF-alpha had no effect on FA oxidation but increased FA incorporation into diacylglycerol (DAG) by 45% (P < 0.05). When both IL-6 (5,000 pg/ml) and insulin (10 mU/ml) were present, IL-6 attenuated insulin's suppressive effect on FA oxidation, increasing exogenous FA oxidation (+37%, P < 0.05). Furthermore, in the presence of insulin, IL-6 reduced the esterification of FA to triacylglycerol by 22% (P < 0.05). When added in combination with IL-6 or leptin (10 microg/ml), the TNF-alpha-induced increase in DAG synthesis was inhibited. In conclusion, the results demonstrate that IL-6 plays an important role in regulating fat metabolism in muscle, increasing rates of FA oxidation, and attenuating insulin's lipogenic effects. In contrast, TNF-alpha had no effect on FA oxidation but increased FA incorporation into DAG, which may be involved in the development of TNF-alpha-induced insulin resistance in skeletal muscle.

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.
