Obesity caused by feeding of a high-fat diet (HFD) is associated with an increased activation of c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase 1 (JNK1). Activated JNK1 is implicated in the mechanism of obesity-induced insulin resistance and the development of metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes. Significantly, Jnk1(-)(/)(-) mice are protected against HFD-induced obesity and insulin resistance. Here we show that an ablation of the Jnk1 gene in skeletal muscle does not influence HFD-induced obesity. However, muscle-specific JNK1-deficient (M(KO)) mice exhibit improved insulin sensitivity compared with control wild-type (M(WT)) mice. Thus, insulin-stimulated AKT activation is suppressed in muscle, liver, and adipose tissue of HFD-fed M(WT) mice but is suppressed only in the liver and adipose tissue of M(KO) mice. These data demonstrate that JNK1 in muscle contributes to peripheral insulin resistance in response to diet-induced obesity.
高脂肪饮食喂养引起的肥胖与 c-Jun NH(2)-末端激酶 1(JNK1)的激活增加有关。激活的 JNK1 参与了肥胖引起的胰岛素抵抗以及代谢综合征和 2 型糖尿病的发病机制。重要的是,Jnk1(-)(/)(-) 小鼠对高脂肪饮食诱导的肥胖和胰岛素抵抗具有保护作用。在这里,我们发现骨骼肌中 Jnk1 基因的缺失并不影响高脂肪饮食诱导的肥胖。然而,与对照野生型(M(WT))小鼠相比,肌肉特异性 JNK1 缺陷(M(KO))小鼠表现出改善的胰岛素敏感性。因此,高脂肪饮食喂养的 M(WT)小鼠的肌肉、肝脏和脂肪组织中胰岛素刺激的 AKT 激活受到抑制,但仅在 M(KO)小鼠的肝脏和脂肪组织中受到抑制。这些数据表明肌肉中的 JNK1 有助于对饮食诱导的肥胖产生的外周胰岛素抵抗。
