Abstract

Chronic free fatty acid (FFA) exposure induces pancreatic beta-cell death, which may contribute to the development of type 2 diabetes. The mechanisms involved in FFA-induced cell death are not completely understood. Here we have investigated the effect of FFA on endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress pathways in INS-1 pancreatic beta-cells. INS-1 cells exposed to palmitate for 16-24 h under serum-free conditions showed marked apoptosis and increased protein levels of phosphorylated eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2alpha (eIF2alpha), activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4), X box-binding protein 1 (XBP-1), and C/EBP homologous transcription factor (CHOP) compared with control cells. The CHOP transcription factor has been implicated in mediating ER stress-induced apoptosis. Unexpectedly, the levels of the ER chaperone proteins Grp78/BiP and PDI were not affected by palmitate treatment, suggesting that the cell protective aspects of the unfolded protein response (UPR) are not up-regulated by palmitate. Palmitate-treated cells had markedly altered distribution of ER chaperones and altered ER morphology, suggesting that accumulation of misfolded proteins might trigger the ER stress response. In contrast, oleate treatment did not significantly induce the UPR pathways, nor was it as detrimental to INS-1 beta-cells. The results suggest that activation of the UPR may significantly contribute to palmitate- but not oleate-induced pancreatic beta-cell death.

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.
