Adipose tissue inflammation causes metabolic disturbances, including insulin resistance and hepatic steatosis. Exercise training (EX) may decrease adipose tissue inflammation, thereby ameliorating such disturbances, even in the absence of fat loss. The purpose of this study was to 1) compare the effects of low-fat diet (LFD), EX, and their combination on inflammation, insulin resistance, and hepatic steatosis in high-fat diet-induced obese mice and 2) determine the effect of intervention duration (i.e., 6 vs. 12 wk). C57BL/6 mice ( n = 109) fed a 45% fat diet (HFD) for 6 wk were randomly assigned to an EX (treadmill: 5 days/wk, 6 or 12 wk, 40 min/day, 65–70% V̇o2max) or sedentary (SED) group. Mice remained on HFD or were placed on a 10% fat diet (LFD) for 6 or 12 wk. Following interventions, fat pads were weighed and expressed relative to body weight; hepatic steatosis was assessed by total liver triglyceride and insulin resistance by HOMA-IR and glucose AUC. RT-PCR was used to determine adipose gene expression of MCP-1, F4/80, TNF-α, and leptin. By 12 wk, MCP-1, F4/80, and TNF-α mRNA were reduced by EX and LFD. Exercise ( P = 0.02), adiposity ( P = 0.03), and adipose F4/80 ( P = 0.02) predicted reductions in HOMA-IR ( r2 = 0.75, P < 0.001); only adiposity ( P = 0.04) predicted improvements in hepatic steatosis ( r2 = 0.51, P < 0.001). Compared with LFD, EX attenuated increases in adiposity, hepatic steatosis, and adipose MCP-1 expression from 6 to 12 wk. There are unique metabolic consequences of a sedentary lifestyle and HFD that are most evident long term, highlighting the importance of both EX and LFD in preventing obesity-related metabolic disturbances.

Obesity is associated with adipose tissue inflammation that contributes to insulin resistance. Zinc finger protein 36 (Zfp36) is an mRNA-binding protein that reduces inflammation by binding to cytokine transcripts and promoting their degradation. We hypothesized that myeloid-specific deficiency of Zfp36 would lead to increased adipose tissue inflammation and reduced insulin sensitivity in diet-induced obese mice. As expected, wild-type (Control) mice became obese and diabetic on a high-fat diet, and obese mice with myeloid-specific loss of Zfp36 [knockout (KO)] demonstrated increased adipose tissue and liver cytokine mRNA expression compared with Control mice. Unexpectedly, in glucose tolerance testing and hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp studies, myeloid Zfp36 KO mice demonstrated improved insulin sensitivity compared with Control mice. Obese KO and Control mice had similar macrophage infiltration of the adipose depots and similar peripheral cytokine levels, but lean and obese KO mice demonstrated increased Kupffer cell (KC; the hepatic macrophage)-expressed Mac2 compared with lean Control mice. Insulin resistance in obese Control mice was associated with enhanced Zfp36 expression in KCs. Compared with Control mice, KO mice demonstrated increased hepatic mRNA expression of a multitude of classical (M1) inflammatory cytokines/chemokines, and this M1-inflammatory hepatic milieu was associated with enhanced nuclear localization of IKKβ and the p65 subunit of NF-κB. Our data confirm the important role of innate immune cells in regulating hepatic insulin sensitivity and lipid metabolism, challenge-prevailing models in which M1 inflammatory responses predict insulin resistance, and indicate that myeloid-expressed Zfp36 modulates the response to insulin in mice.

AbstractAngiopoietin-like 8 (ANGPTL8) is closely linked to obesity-associated metabolic diseases and insulin resistance. The aim of the current study was to investigate the ability of ANGPTL8 to reverse insulin resistance in obese mice. The administration of ANGPTL8 reduced weight gain and improved glucose tolerance in mice with diet-induced obesity. In addition, ANGPTL8 administration modified macrophage infiltration, reduced monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and interleukin-1β(IL-1β) levels, and increased adiponectin gene expression in inguinal white adipose tissue (iWAT). Moreover, the exposure of a cultured peritoneal macrophage line to ANGPTL8 reduced the mRNA expression of M1 macrophage markers (TNF-α and IL-1β) upon stimulation with lipopolysaccharides in a dose-dependent manner. By contrast, when incubated with IL-4, exposure of macrophages to ANGPTL8 increased the mRNA expression of M2 macrophage markers (Arg1 and Chi3l3) in a dose-dependent manner. Collectively, the results of the present study demonstrated that treatment with ANGPTL8 can attenuate adipose tissue inflammation through regulation of macrophage polarization, and thus, it could be useful for improving insulin resistance.
