1 11707432 We have found that insulin resistance induced by tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) in 3T3-L1 adipocytes was accompanied by increased GM3 ganglioside expression caused by elevating GM3 synthase activity and its mRNA.
2 11707432 We also demonstrated that TNF-alpha simultaneously produced insulin resistance by uncoupling insulin receptor activity toward insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) and suppressing insulin-sensitive glucose transport.
3 11707432 Pharmacological depletion of GM3 in adipocytes by an inhibitor of glucosylceramide synthase prevented the TNF-alpha-induced defect in insulin-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1 and also counteracted the TNF-alpha-induced serine phosphorylation of IRS-1.
4 11707432 Moreover, when the adipocytes were incubated with exogenous GM3, suppression of tyrosine phosphorylation of insulin receptor and IRS-1 and glucose uptake in response to insulin stimulation was observed, demonstrating that GM3 itself is able to mimic the effects of TNF on insulin signaling.
5 11707432 We used the obese Zucker fa/fa rat and ob/ob mouse, which are known to overproduce TNF-alpha mRNA in adipose tissues, as typical models of insulin resistance.
6 11707432 Taken together, the increased synthesis of cellular GM3 by TNF may participate in the pathological conditions of insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes.
7 15710896 To determine the role of ganglioside synthesis within the CNS, mice carrying null mutations in two critical ganglioside-specific glycosyltransferase genes, Siat9 (encoding GM3 synthase) and Galgt1 (encoding GM2 synthase), were generated.
