Abstract

Adipose tissue inflammation is linked to the pathogenesis of insulin resistance. In addition to exerting death-promoting effects, the death receptor Fas (also known as CD95) can activate inflammatory pathways in several cell lines and tissues, although little is known about the metabolic consequence of Fas activation in adipose tissue. We therefore sought to investigate the contribution of Fas in adipocytes to obesity-associated metabolic dysregulation. Fas expression was markedly increased in the adipocytes of common genetic and diet-induced mouse models of obesity and insulin resistance, as well as in the adipose tissue of obese and type 2 diabetic patients. Mice with Fas deficiency either in all cells or specifically in adipocytes (the latter are referred to herein as AFasKO mice) were protected from deterioration of glucose homeostasis induced by high-fat diet (HFD). Adipocytes in AFasKO mice were more insulin sensitive than those in wild-type mice, and mRNA levels of proinflammatory factors were reduced in white adipose tissue. Moreover, AFasKO mice were protected against hepatic steatosis and were more insulin sensitive, both at the whole-body level and in the liver. Thus, Fas in adipocytes contributes to adipose tissue inflammation, hepatic steatosis, and insulin resistance induced by obesity and may constitute a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.

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.
