1 21393865 Increased SRF transcriptional activity in human and mouse skeletal muscle is a signature of insulin resistance.
2 21393865 Actin cytoskeleton genes regulated by serum response factor (SRF) and its coactivator megakaryoblastic leukemia 1 (MKL1) had increased expression in T2D and FH(+) groups.
3 21393865 Furthermore, striated muscle activator of Rho signaling (STARS), an activator of SRF, was upregulated in T2D and FH(+) and was inversely correlated with insulin sensitivity.
4 21393865 Skeletal muscle from insulin-resistant mice recapitulated this gene expression pattern and showed reduced G-actin and increased nuclear localization of MKL1, each of which regulates SRF activity.
5 21393865 Overexpression of MKL1 or reduction in G-actin decreased insulin-stimulated Akt phosphorylation, whereas reduction of STARS expression increased insulin signaling and glucose uptake.
6 21393865 Pharmacological SRF inhibition by CCG-1423 reduced nuclear MKL1 and improved glucose uptake and tolerance in insulin-resistant mice in vivo.
7 21393865 Thus, SRF pathway alterations are linked to insulin resistance, may contribute to T2D pathogenesis, and could represent therapeutic targets.
8 21393865 Increased SRF transcriptional activity in human and mouse skeletal muscle is a signature of insulin resistance.
