Adipo-myokines: two sides of the same coin–mediators of inflammation and mediators of exercise

Abstract

This review summarizes the current literature regarding the most discussed contraction-regulated moykines like IL-6, IL-15, irisin, BDNF, ANGPTL4, FGF21, myonectin and MCP-1. It is suggested that the term myokine is restricted to proteins secreted from skeletal muscle cells, excluding proteins that are secreted by other cell types in skeletal muscle tissue and excluding proteins which are only described on the mRNA level. Interestingly, many of the contraction-regulated myokines described in the literature are additionally known to be secreted by adipocytes. We termed these proteins adipo-myokines. Within this review, we try to elaborate on the question why pro-inflammatory adipokines on the one hand are upregulated in the obese state, and have beneficial effects after exercise on the other hand. Both, adipokines and myokines do have autocrine effects within their corresponding tissues. In addition, they are involved in an endocrine crosstalk with other tissues. Depending on the extent and the kinetics of adipo-myokines in serum, these molecules seem to have a beneficial or an adverse effect on the target tissue.

  • Plasma ANGPTL4 acts on myotubes and is well-established as a myokine derived from physical exercise (exercise factor).

    “Specifically, plasma ANGPTL4 acts on myotubes, and is well-established as a myokine derived from physical exercise (exercise factor; Raschke and Eckel, 2013; Ingerslev et al., 2017).”

    From Physical Exercise-Induced Myokines and Muscle-Adipose Tissue Crosstalk: A Review of Current Knowledge and the Implications for Health and Metabolic Diseases (2018) · cites this paper as Raschke and Eckel, 2013

    Section 2 (page not provided) lists ANGPTL4 among contraction-regulated myokines, and Section 9 reports increased plasma ANGPTL4 during endurance exercise. Section 9 does not say that plasma ANGPTL4 acts on myotubes; it describes ANGPTL4 expression and secretion by muscle cells. It also cautions that skeletal muscle may not be the only source of the exercise-associated rise in plasma ANGPTL4, so the claim that it is well-established as an exercise-derived myokine is too strong. (LLM, conf=0.88)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • ANGPTL4 is related to insulin sensitivity, lipid metabolism, adipogenesis, and the increase of circulating fatty acids generated mainly by chronic caloric restrictions, fasting, and aerobic physical training.

    “The performance of this protein is related to several physiological processes, among them are insulin sensitivity, lipid metabolism, adipogenesis (Cinkajzlova et al., 2018), and the increase of circulating fatty acids, which are generated mainly by chronic caloric restrictions, fasting, and aerobic physical training (Raschke and Eckel, 2013).”

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.
