2 8692797 Leptin and its receptor, obese receptor (OB-R), comprise an important signaling system for the regulation of body weight.
3 8692797 We cloned a long isoform of the wild-type leptin receptor that is preferentially expressed in the hypothalamus and show that it can activate signal transducers and activators of transcription (STAT)-3, STAT-5, and STAT-6.
4 8692797 These data provide further evidence that the mutation in OB-R causes the db/db phenotype and identify three STAT proteins as potential mediators of the anti-obesity effects of leptin.

7 9218758 This investigation was initiated to determine the molecular role TGF-beta plays in the prevention of autoimmune IDDM by determining its effect on IL-2-induced signal transduction in Con A-activated NOD mouse splenocytes and HT-2 cells.

11 9218758 We found that TGF-beta inhibited the association of STAT3 and STAT5 with ERK2 in Con A blasts from NOD splenocytes and HT-2 cells.
12 9218758 On the basis of these observations, we conclude that TGF-beta may interfere with signal transduction via inhibition of the IL-2-induced JAK/STAT pathway and inhibition of the association of STAT proteins with ERK2 in T cells from NOD splenocytes, resulting in the inhibition of IL-2-dependent T cell proliferation.
13 9218758 TGF-beta-mediated suppression of T cell activation may be responsible for the prevention of effector T cell-mediated autoimmune IDDM in NOD mice by TGF-beta-producing CD4+ suppressor T cells.

23 9751766 Overexpression of leptin receptors in pancreatic islets of Zucker diabetic fatty rats restores GLUT-2, glucokinase, and glucose-stimulated insulin secretion.
24 9751766 The high-Km glucose transporter, GLUT-2, and the high-Km hexokinase of beta cells, glucokinase (GK), are required for glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS).
25 9751766 Leptin induced a rise in phosphorylated STAT3, indicating that the transferred wild-type OB-R was functional.

27 9751766 Clofibrate and 9-cis-retinoic acid, the partner ligands for binding to peroxisome proliferator-activator receptor alpha (PPARalpha) and retinoid X receptor, up-regulated GLUT-2 expression in islets of normal rats, but not in ZDF rats, in which PPARalpha is very low.
28 9751766 Because the fat content of islets of diabetic ZDF rats remains high unless they are treated with leptin, it appears that restoration of GSIS requires normalization of intracellular nutrient homeostasis, whereas up-regulation of GLUT-2 and GK is leptin-independent, requiring only high expression of OB-Rb.

76 10799542 We have investigated the signaling function of mutant LRb intracellular domains under the control of the extracellular erythropoietin (Epo) receptor.
77 10799542 By using this system, we confirm that two tyrosine residues in the intracellular domain of murine LRb become phosphorylated to mediate LRb signaling; Tyr(985) controls the tyrosine phosphorylation of SHP-2, and Tyr(1138) controls STAT3 activation.
78 10799542 We furthermore investigated the mechanisms by which LRb controls downstream ERK activation and c-fos and SOCS3 message accumulation.
79 10799542 Tyr(985)-mediated recruitment of SHP-2 does not alter tyrosine phosphorylation of Jak2 or STAT3 but results in GRB-2 binding to tyrosine-phosphorylated SHP-2 and is required for the majority of ERK activation during LRb signaling.
80 10799542 Tyr(985) and ERK activation similarly mediate c-fos mRNA accumulation.
81 10799542 In contrast, SOCS3 mRNA accumulation requires Tyr(1138)-mediated STAT3 activation.
82 10799542 Thus, the two LRb tyrosine residues that are phosphorylated during receptor activation mediate distinct signaling pathways as follows: SHP-2 binding to Tyr(985) positively regulates the ERK --> c-fos pathway, and STAT3 binding to Tyr(1138) mediates the inhibitory SOCS3 pathway.

89 10799542 Thus, the two LRb tyrosine residues that are phosphorylated during receptor activation mediate distinct signaling pathways as follows: SHP-2 binding to Tyr(985) positively regulates the ERK --> c-fos pathway, and STAT3 binding to Tyr(1138) mediates the inhibitory SOCS3 pathway.

95 10799542 In contrast, SOCS3 mRNA accumulation requires Tyr(1138)-mediated STAT3 activation.

104 10908145 The transcription factor Stat5a critically mediates prolactin (PRL)-induced mammary gland development and lactogenesis.
105 10908145 Serum testosterone and PRL levels were normal in Stat5a knockout mice, but prostate PRL receptor expression was reduced as determined by immunohistochemistry.
106 10908145 Expression levels or activation states of other PRL signal transduction proteins, including Stat5b, Stat3, Stat1, ERK1, and ERK2 were not altered.
107 11018044 SOCS3 mediates feedback inhibition of the leptin receptor via Tyr985.
108 11018044 Phosphorylated Tyr(1138) binds STAT3 to mediate its tyrosine phosphorylation and transcriptional activation, while phosphorylated Tyr(985) binds the tyrosine phosphatase SHP-2 and reportedly mediates both activation of ERK kinases and inhibition of LRb-mediated STAT3 activation.
109 11018044 We show here that although mutation of Tyr(985) does not alter STAT3 signaling by erythropoietin receptor-LRb (ELR) chimeras in transfected 293 cells at short times of stimulation, this mutation enhances STAT3 signaling at longer times of stimulation (>6 h).
110 11018044 Additionally, overexpression of SOCS3, but not SHP-2, impairs ELR signaling, and the overexpression of SHP-2 blunts SOCS3-mediated inhibition of ELR signaling.
111 11018044 Thus, our data suggest that in addition to mediating SHP-2 binding and ERK activation during acute stimulation, Tyr(985) of LRb mediates feedback inhibition of LRb signaling by binding to LRb-induced SOCS3.
112 11018044 SOCS3 mediates feedback inhibition of the leptin receptor via Tyr985.
113 11018044 Phosphorylated Tyr(1138) binds STAT3 to mediate its tyrosine phosphorylation and transcriptional activation, while phosphorylated Tyr(985) binds the tyrosine phosphatase SHP-2 and reportedly mediates both activation of ERK kinases and inhibition of LRb-mediated STAT3 activation.

117 11161808 Structure of the mouse Stat 3/5 locus: evolution from Drosophila to zebrafish to mouse.
118 11161808 While Drosophila contains only one Stat (d-Stat), mammals contain seven, with STATs 3, 5a, and 5b being the closest functional relatives.
119 11161808 To understand the evolutionary relationship between d-Stat and vertebrate STATs 3 and 5, we isolated, sequenced, and analyzed the zebrafish Stat3 (z-Stat3) gene and a 500-kb region spanning mouse chromosome 11, 60.5 cM containing three Stat genes (m-Stats).
120 11161808 Within this region we identified the genes encoding m-Stats 3, 5a, and 5b, Cnp1, Hcrt/Orexin, Ptrf, GCN5, mDj11, and four new genes.
121 11161808 The 5' ends of the m-Stat5a and m-Stat5b genes are juxtaposed to each other, and the 3' ends of the m-Stat3 and Stat5a genes face each other.
122 11161808 We propose that the Stat3 and Stat5 lineages are derived from the duplication of a common primordial gene and that d-Stat is a part of the Stat5 lineage.

147 11245612 We correlated the levels of specific regulators of insulin signaling and adipocyte differentiation with these phenotypic changes in adipose tissue.
148 11245612 Signal transducers and activators of transcription (STAT)1, STAT3, and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-gamma protein levels were elevated in the transgenic mice.
149 11245612 We hypothesize that agouti increases adiposity and promotes insulin sensitivity by acting directly on adipocytes via PPAR-gamma.
150 11334438 Insulin and leptin acutely regulate cholesterol ester metabolism in macrophages by novel signaling pathways.
151 11334438 Leptin also stimulates both phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) activity and tyrosine phosphorylation of JAK2 and STAT3 in these cells.
152 11334438 We investigated the effects of leptin on hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL), which acts as a neutral cholesterol esterase in macrophages and is a rate-limiting step in cholesterol ester breakdown.
153 11334438 Leptin significantly increased HSL activity in J774.2 macrophages, and these effects were additive with the effects of cAMP and were blocked by PI 3-kinase inhibitors.
154 11334438 Conversely, insulin inhibited HSL in macrophages, but unlike adipocytes, this effect did not require PI 3-kinase.
155 11334438 These results indicate that leptin and insulin regulate cholesterol-ester homeostasis in macrophages and, therefore, defects in this process caused by leptin and/or insulin resistance could contribute to the increased incidence of atherosclerosis found associated with obesity and type 2 diabetes.
156 11416024 Leptin and tumor necrosis factor-alpha induce the tyrosine phosphorylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription proteins in the hypothalamus of normal rats in vivo.
157 11416024 However, TNFalpha signaling in the brain and the potential interaction with leptin have not been investigated to date.
158 11416024 Here we studied the tyrosine phosphorylation of STAT (signal transducer and activator of transcription) proteins in the hypothalamus of normal rats after iv injection of recombinant murine leptin or TNFalpha or coinjection of both cytokines.
159 11416024 Immunoblot analysis of hypothalamic lysates with a phospho-specific STAT3 antibody showed a 6- to 7-fold stimulation of STAT3 tyrosine phosphorylation in response to both leptin and TNFalpha.
160 11416024 No other STAT proteins (STAT1, STAT5) were activated by leptin, whereas TNFalpha injection resulted in a dose-dependent phosphorylation of hypothalamic STAT5.
161 11416024 In contrast to its action in the brain, leptin was unable to produce STAT3 phosphorylation in the liver, either alone or in combination with TNFalpha.
162 11416024 These data show that TNFalpha, independently of leptin, activates hypothalamic STAT signaling pathways and enhances leptin action at the level of STAT3.
163 11416024 We therefore suggest that TNFalpha may represent a modulator of leptin action in the hypothalamus.

180 11701441 Evidence against high glucose as a mediator of ERK1/2 or p38 MAPK phosphorylation in rat skeletal muscle.
181 11701441 Exposure of muscle to either hyperosmosis (600 mM mannitol) or insulin (6 nM) led to a marked increase in extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK)1/2 phosphorylation.
182 11701441 Hyperosmosis elicited a 5.2-fold increase in p38 phosphorylation (P < 0.05), whereas insulin was without effect.
183 11701441 No effect of high glucose was noted on signal transduction to signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 and Akt.
184 11701441 In conclusion, short-term exposure of skeletal muscle to high levels of glucose does not appear to alter ERK1/2 or p38 MAPK phosphorylation.
185 11735219 In the mouse, STAT3, STAT5a, and STAT5b are encoded by adjacent genes on chromosome 11 (60.5 cM).
186 11735219 We identified six known genes and cloned two new genes, termed D11Lgp1 and D11Lgp2.
187 11970899 Attenuation of leptin action and regulation of obesity by protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B.
188 11970899 Mice deficient in protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) are resistant to diabetes and diet-induced obesity, prompting us to further define the relationship between PTP1B and leptin in modulating obesity.
189 11970899 Leptin-deficient (Lep(ob/ob)) mice lacking PTP1B exhibit an attenuated weight gain, a decrease in adipose tissue, and an increase in resting metabolic rate.
190 11970899 Furthermore, PTP1B-deficient mice show an enhanced response toward leptin-mediated weight loss and suppression of feeding.
191 11970899 Hypothalami from these mice also display markedly increased leptin-induced Stat3 phosphorylation.
192 11970899 Finally, substrate-trapping experiments demonstrate that leptin-activated Jak2, but not Stat3 or the leptin receptor, is a substrate of PTP1B.
193 11970899 These results suggest that PTP1B negatively regulates leptin signaling, and provide one mechanism by which it may regulate obesity.

202 12424252 In order to investigate the effects of CNTF on fat cells, we examined the expression of CNTF receptor complex proteins (LIFR, gp130, and CNTFRalpha) during adipocyte differentiation and the effects of CNTF on STAT, Akt, and MAPK activation.
203 12424252 We also examined the ability of CNTF to regulate the expression of adipocyte transcription factors and other adipogenic proteins.
204 12424252 Our studies clearly demonstrate that the expression of two of the three CNTF receptor complex components, CNTFRalpha and LIFR, decreases during adipocyte differentiation.
205 12424252 In addition, preadipocytes are more sensitive to CNTF treatment than adipocytes, as judged by both STAT 3 and Akt activation.
206 12424252 Despite decreased levels of CNTFRalpha expression in fully differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes, CNTF treatment of these cells resulted in a time-dependent activation of STAT 3.
207 12424252 Chronic treatment of adipocytes resulted in a substantial decrease in fatty-acid synthase and a notable decline in SREBP-1 levels but had no effect on the expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma, acrp30, adipocyte-expressed STAT proteins, or C/EBPalpha.
208 12424252 Moreover, we demonstrated that CNTF can activate STAT 3 in adipose tissue and skeletal muscle in vivo.
209 12424252 In summary, CNTF affects adipocyte gene expression, and the specific receptor for this cytokine is induced in rodent models of obesity/type II diabetes.

226 12453907 Inhibition of the Jak/STAT signaling pathway prevents the high glucose-induced increase in tgf-beta and fibronectin synthesis in mesangial cells.
227 12453907 We recently found that exposure of cells to HG also activates the growth-promoting enzyme janus kinase 2 (JAK2) and its latent signal transducers and activators of transcription (STAT) transcription factors (STAT1, STAT3, and STAT5).
228 12453907 Our purpose was to determine the effect that inhibition of JAK2 and these STAT transcription factors has on the HG-induced increase in TGF-beta and fibronectin synthesis in GMC.
229 12453907 Exposure of GMC to 25 mmol/l glucose caused the activation of JAK2, STAT1, STAT3, and STAT5 plus an increase in TGF-beta and fibronectin synthesis, as compared with 5.5 mmol/l glucose.
230 12453907 This HG-induced increase in synthesis of TGF-beta and fibronectin was prevented by concomitant incubation with AG-490, a specific JAK2 inhibitor.
231 12453907 The HG-induced JAK2, STAT1, and STAT3 tyrosine phosphorylations in GMC were also abolished by AG-490.

250 12456808 Loss of interleukin 6 results in delayed mammary gland involution: a possible role for mitogen-activated protein kinase and not signal transducer and activator of transcription 3.
251 12456808 This study was based on the hypothesis that IL-6 is the activating cytokine for signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (Stat), the transcription factor whose presence is required for controlled mammary gland involution.
252 12456808 We now show that expression of IL-6 is low during lactation but increases at the onset of involution in parallel with the activation of Stat3 and p44/42 MAPK.
253 12456808 Moreover, we demonstrated that injection of IL-6 into virgin and lactating mice activates Stat3 in mammary epithelium.
254 12456808 Involution of mammary tissue in IL-6-null mice was delayed similar to that seen in mammary conditional Stat3- and Bax-null mice.
255 12456808 However, Stat3 activation during involution was independent of the IL-6 status.
256 12456808 This suggests that either IL-6 does not induce Stat3 in vivo or its absence is compensated for by other cytokines, such as leukemia-inhibitory factor (LIF).
257 12456808 In contrast, the increase of p44/42 MAPK (ERK1/2) phosphorylation at the onset of involution was dependent on the presence of IL-6.
258 12456808 Delayed involution corresponded with a decrease of epithelial cell death, and a delayed induction of Bax and sulfated glycoprotein 2 (SGP2, or clusterin) expression.
259 12456808 Our experiments demonstrate on a genetic level that IL-6 contributes to the induction of the controlled remodeling of mammary tissue during involution, possibly through the MAPK pathway and by mediating the expression of the cell death protein Bax.

272 12456808 We now show that expression of IL-6 is low during lactation but increases at the onset of involution in parallel with the activation of Stat3 and p44/42 MAPK.

274 12456808 Involution of mammary tissue in IL-6-null mice was delayed similar to that seen in mammary conditional Stat3- and Bax-null mice.
275 12456808 However, Stat3 activation during involution was independent of the IL-6 status.
276 12456808 This suggests that either IL-6 does not induce Stat3 in vivo or its absence is compensated for by other cytokines, such as leukemia-inhibitory factor (LIF).

320 12540594 Role of leptin in the regulation of glucagon-like peptide-1 secretion.
321 12540594 Because obesity is linked to abnormal leptin signaling, we hypothesized that leptin may modulate GLP-1 secretion.
322 12540594 Leptin significantly stimulated GLP-1 secretion (by up to 250% of control) from fetal rat intestinal cells, a mouse L cell line (GLUTag), and a human L cell line (NCI-H716) in a dose-dependent manner (P < 0.05-0.001).
323 12540594 The long form of the leptin receptor was shown to be expressed, and leptin induced the phosphorylation of STAT3 in the three cell types.
324 12540594 The leptin receptor was also expressed by rodent and human intestinal L cells, and leptin (1 mg/kg i.p.) significantly stimulated GLP-1 secretion in rats and ob/ob mice.
325 12540594 To determine the effect of leptin resistance on GLP-1 secretion, C57BL/6 mice were fed a high-fat (45%) or low-fat (10%) diet for 8 weeks.
326 12540594 These results show for the first time that leptin stimulates GLP-1 secretion from rodent and human intestinal L cells, and they suggest that leptin resistance may account for the decreased levels of GLP-1 found in obese humans.

330 12594516 LRb-STAT3 signalling thus mediates the effects of leptin on melanocortin production and body energy homeostasis, whereas distinct LRb signals regulate NPY and the control of fertility, growth and glucose homeostasis.

379 14557860 The role of leptin-->STAT3 signaling in neuroendocrine function: an integrative perspective.
380 14578297 Chronic exposure to interleukin-6 causes hepatic insulin resistance in mice.
381 14578297 Interleukin (IL)-6 is one of several proinflammatory cytokines associated with the insulin resistance of obesity and type 2 diabetes.
382 14578297 There is, however, little direct evidence in vivo for a causative role of IL-6 in insulin resistance.
383 14578297 Here, a 5-day constant subcutaneous infusion of hIL-6 before portal vein insulin challenge resulted in impairment of early insulin receptor signaling in the liver of mice.
384 14578297 Consistent with an hepatic response to IL-6, STAT3 phosphorylation was increased in livers of IL-6-treated mice at 5 days.
385 14578297 Chronic infusion of IL-6 also reduced hepatic insulin receptor autophosphorylation by 60% and tyrosine phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrates-1 and -2 by 60 and 40%, respectively.
386 14578297 IL-6 also decreased refeeding-dependent glucokinase mRNA induction by approximately 40%.
387 14578297 In contrast to hepatic insulin receptor signal transduction, 5-day IL-6 exposure failed to suppress skeletal muscle insulin receptor signal transduction.
388 14578297 These data suggest that chronic IL-6 treatment selectively impairs hepatic insulin signaling in vivo, further supporting a role for IL-6 in hepatic insulin resistance of obesity.
389 14643059 Here, we review the mechanisms by which leptin activates intracellular signaling and the roles of two specific leptin-activated signals [phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and signal transducer and activator of transcription-3 (STAT3)] in the regulation of body weight and neuroendocrine function.
390 14643059 The pathway by which leptin activates STAT3 is particularly intriguing because it is crucial for the regulation of feeding but dispensable for the control of reproductive and growth axes.

409 14678947 Angiotensin II blockade prevents hyperglycemia-induced activation of JAK and STAT proteins in diabetic rat kidney glomeruli.
410 14678947 Clinical and animal studies show that treatment with angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors or ANG II-receptor antagonists slows progression of nephropathy in diabetes, indicating ANG II plays an important role in its development.
411 14678947 We previously reported that hyperglycemia augments both ANG II-induced growth and activation of Janus kinase (JAK)2 and signal transducers and activators of transcription (STAT) proteins in cultured rat mesangial cells.
412 14678947 Furthermore, we demonstrated that the tyrosine kinase enzyme JAK2 plays a key role in both ANG II- and hyperglycemia-induced growth in these cells.
413 14678947 We hypothesized that the ACE inhibitor captopril and the ANG II-receptor antagonist candesartan would hinder hyperglycemic-induced activation of JAK and STAT proteins in rat glomeruli, demonstrating that ANG II plays an important role in the activation of these proteins in vivo.
414 14678947 STZ stimulated glomerular phosphorylation of JAK2, STAT1, STAT3, and STAT5.
415 14678947 In conclusion, our studies demonstrate that hyperglycemia induces activation of JAK2 and the STATs in vivo via an ANG II-dependent mechanism and that these proteins may be involved in the early kidney damage associated with diabetes.

425 14749507 LRb initiates signaling via three major mechanisms: 1) Tyr(985) of LRb recruits SH2-containing tyrosine phosphatase (SHP-2); 2) Tyr(1138) of LRb recruits signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3); and 3) tyrosine phosphorylation sites on the receptor-associated Jak2 likely recruit numerous undefined signaling proteins.
426 14749507 The Tyr(985) --> SHP-2 pathway is a major regulator of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) activation during leptin signaling in cultured cells, while the Tyr(1138) --> STAT3 pathway induces the feedback inhibitor, suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3), as well as important positive effectors of leptin action.
427 14749507 The Jak2-dependent activation of the insulin receptor substrate (IRS) protein --> phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3'-K) pathway appears to regulate membrane potential in LRb-expressing neurons and contributes to the regulation of feeding.
428 14749507 Interestingly, the Tyr(1138) --> STAT3 pathway does not strongly regulate neuropeptide Y (NPY) and thus is not required for the control of reproduction and growth.
429 14749507 LRb initiates signaling via three major mechanisms: 1) Tyr(985) of LRb recruits SH2-containing tyrosine phosphatase (SHP-2); 2) Tyr(1138) of LRb recruits signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3); and 3) tyrosine phosphorylation sites on the receptor-associated Jak2 likely recruit numerous undefined signaling proteins.

437 15070774 Signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT)3 is widely expressed in the CNS during development and adulthood.
438 15070774 STAT3 has been implicated in the control of neuron/glial differentiation and leptin-mediated energy homeostasis, but the physiological role and degree of involvement of STAT3 in these processes is not defined and controversial because of the lack of a direct genetic model.

455 15240880 Here we show that overexpression of suppressors of cytokine signaling (SOCS)-1 and SOCS-3 in liver causes insulin resistance and an increase in the key regulator of fatty acid synthesis in liver, sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP)-1c.
456 15240880 Conversely, inhibition of SOCS-1 and -3 in obese diabetic mice improves insulin sensitivity, normalizes the increased expression of SREBP-1c, and dramatically ameliorates hepatic steatosis and hypertriglyceridemia.
457 15240880 In obese animals, increased SOCS proteins enhance SREBP-1c expression by antagonizing STAT3-mediated inhibition of SREBP-1c promoter activity.
458 15240880 Thus, SOCS proteins play an important role in pathogenesis of the metabolic syndrome by concordantly modulating insulin signaling and cytokine signaling.
459 15277698 The preservation of "stemness" in mouse embryonic stem (mES) cells is maintained through a signal transduction pathway that requires the gp130 receptor, the interleukin-6 (IL-6) family of cytokines, and the Janus Kinase-signal transducer and activator (JAK/STAT) pathway.
460 15277698 Human ES cells differentiate in the presence of members of the IL-6 family of cytokines including leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) and IL-6 or in the presence of the designer cytokine hyper-IL-6, which is a complex of soluble interleukin-6 receptor (IL-6R) and IL-6 with greatly enhanced bioactivity.
461 15277698 Human ES cells express LIF, IL-6, and gp130 receptors, as well as the downstream signaling molecules.
462 15277698 Stimulation of human and mouse ES cells with gp130 cytokines resulted in a robust phosphorylation of downstream ERK1, ERK2, and Akt kinases, as well as the STAT3 transcription factor.
463 15277698 Loss of the pluripotency markers Nanog, Oct-4, and TRA-1-60 was observed in hES cells during gp130-dependent signaling, indicating that signaling through this pathway is insufficient to prevent the onset of differentiation.
464 15331557 Leptin stimulates ischemia-induced retinal neovascularization: possible role of vascular endothelial growth factor expressed in retinal endothelial cells.
465 15331557 Leptin receptor expression was also detected in primary cultures of porcine retinal endothelial cells, where it upregulated vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) mRNA expression.
466 15331557 This effect was thought to be mediated at least partly through the activation of signal transducers and activators of transcription (STAT)3, because adenoviral transfection of the dominant-negative form of STAT3 abolished the leptin-induced upregulation of VEGF mRNA expression in retinal endothelial cells.
467 15331557 This study provides evidence that leptin stimulates the ischemia-induced retinal neovasucularization possibly through the upregulation of endothelial VEGF, thereby suggesting that leptin antagonism may offer a novel therapeutic strategy to prevent or treat diabetic retinopathy.
468 15389315 In the same construct, we have also inserted loxP sites that flank Lepr coding exon 17, a region that encodes a JAK docking site required for STAT3 signaling.
469 15561935 Thus, the LRb-->STAT3 signal is central to both the control of energy expenditure by leptin and the neuroendocrine regulation of the SNS and the thyroid axis.
470 15601754 Previous studies have shown the presence of 5-HT2A, 5-HT2B, and 5-HT1B receptors in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs).
471 15601754 There are currently no data regarding 5-HT2B and 5-HT1B receptor activation of the JAK/STAT pathway in VSMCs and resultant potential alterations in 5-HT signaling in diabetes.
472 15601754 Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that 5-HT differentially activates the JAK/STAT pathway in VSMCs under conditions of normal (5 mM) and high (25 mM) glucose.
473 15601754 Treatment of rat VSMCs with 5-HT (10(-6) M) resulted in time-dependent activation ( approximately 2-fold) of JAK2, JAK1, and STAT1, but not STAT3 (maximal at 5 min, returned to baseline by 30 min).
474 15601754 The 5-HT2B receptor agonist BW723C86 and the 5-HT1B receptor agonist CGS12066A (10(-9)-10(-5) M, 5-min stimulation) did not activate the JAK/STAT pathway.
475 15601754 Treatment with the 5-HT2A receptor antagonist ketanserin (10 nM) inhibited JAK2 activation by 5-HT.
476 15601754 Treatment of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats with ketanserin (5 mg.kg-1.day-1) reduced activation of JAK2 and STAT1 but not STAT3 in endothelium-denuded thoracic aorta in vivo. 5-HT (10(-6) M) treatment resulted in increased cell proliferation and increased DNA synthesis, which were inhibited by the JAK2 inhibitor AG490.
477 15601754 Further studies with apocynin, diphenyleneiodonium chloride, catalase, and virally transfected superoxide dismutase had no effect at either glucose concentration on activation of the JAK/STAT pathway by 5-HT.
478 15601754 Therefore, we conclude that 5-HT activates JAK2, JAK1, and STAT1 via the 5-HT2A receptors in a reactive oxygen species-independent manner under both normal and high glucose conditions.

488 15604114 Feedback inhibition of leptin receptor/Jak2 signaling via Tyr1138 of the leptin receptor and suppressor of cytokine signaling 3.
489 15604114 Using cultured cells exogenously expressing the long form of the leptin receptor (LRb) or an erythropoietin receptor/LRb chimera, we show that chronic stimulation results in the attenuation of LRb signaling and the establishment of a state in which the receptor is refractory to reactivation.
490 15604114 Mutation of LRb Tyr1138 (the site that recruits signal transducer and activator of transcription 3) alleviated this feedback inhibition, suggesting that signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 mediates the induction of a feedback inhibitor, such as suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3), during chronic LRb stimulation.

492 15662590 TSH failed to induce either the adenylate cyclase/cAMP pathway, the phosphatidylinositol/calcium pathway, or the Janus kinase (JAK)/signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) 3 pathway.
493 15662590 We report that TtT/GF cells express a functional TSHR that is not coupled to cAMP nor IP (3) but probably signals through the JAK/STAT5a pathway.

495 15749807 Previous studies in our laboratory have shown that GH induction of signal transducers and activators of transcription (STAT)5B tyrosine phosphorylation is inhibited by prolonged insulin treatment, probably via downregulation of GHR.

574 15913829 Here we show that overexpression of suppressors of cytokine signaling (SOCS)-1 and SOCS-3 in liver causes insulin resistance and an increase in the key regulator of fatty acid synthesis in liver, sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP)-1c.
575 15913829 Conversely, inhibition of SOCS-1 and -3 in obese diabetic mice improves insulin sensitivity, normalizes the increased expression of SREBP-1c, and dramatically ameliorates hepatic steatosis and hypertriglyceridemia.
576 15913829 In obese animals, increased SOCS proteins enhance SREBP-1c expression by antagonizing STAT3-mediated inhibition of SREBP-1c promoter activity.
577 15913829 Thus, SOCS proteins play an important role in pathogenesis of the metabolic syndrome by concordantly modulating insulin signaling and cytokine signaling.

626 16123338 Cardiac-specific overexpression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha causes insulin resistance in heart and liver.
627 16123338 Mice with heart-specific overexpression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)alpha showed a metabolic and cardiomyopathic phenotype similar to the diabetic heart, and we determined tissue-specific glucose metabolism and insulin action in vivo during hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamps in awake myosin heavy chain (MHC)-PPARalpha mice (12-14 weeks of age).
628 16123338 Basal and insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in heart was significantly reduced in the MHC-PPARalpha mice, and cardiac insulin resistance was mostly attributed to defects in insulin-stimulated activities of insulin receptor substrate (IRS)-1-associated phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase, Akt, and tyrosine phosphorylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3).
629 16123338 Interestingly, MHC-PPARalpha mice developed hepatic insulin resistance associated with defects in insulin-mediated IRS-2-associated PI 3-kinase activity, increased hepatic triglyceride, and circulating interleukin-6 levels.
630 16123338 Overall, these findings indicate that increased activity of PPARalpha, as occurs in the diabetic heart, leads to cardiac insulin resistance associated with defects in insulin signaling and STAT3 activity, subsequently leading to reduced cardiac function.

637 16177100 Unstimulated monocytes of at-risk/type 1 diabetic humans and macrophages of the NOD mouse have markedly elevated autocrine GM-CSF production and persistent STAT5 phosphorylation.
638 16177100 We analyzed the relationship between GM-CSF production and persistent STAT5 phosphorylation in NOD macrophages using reciprocal congenic mouse strains containing either diabetes-susceptible NOD (B6.NODC11), or diabetes-resistant C57L (NOD.LC11) loci on chromosome 11.

646 16226915 Role of suppressors of cytokine signaling SOCS-1 and SOCS-3 in hepatic steatosis and the metabolic syndrome.
647 16226915 In this study, we show that expression of suppressor of cytokine signaling SOCS-1 and SOCS-3 is increased in livers of obese insulin-resistant animals, and that adenoviral-mediated overexpression of SOCS-1 or SOCS-3 in liver causes insulin resistance through down-regulation of tyrosine phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate (IRS) proteins.
648 16226915 Moreover, the increased SOCS-1 and SOCS-3 also cause a prominent up-regulation of the key regulator of fatty acid synthesis in liver, sterol regulatory element binding protein (SREBP)-1.
649 16226915 Conversely, inhibition of SOCS-1 and SOCS-3 in livers of obese diabetic db/db mice by antisense treatment modestly improves insulin sensitivity, but completely normalizes the increased expression of SREBP-1.
650 16226915 Promoter activity analysis reveals that expression of SOCS-1 or SOCS-3 with SOCS-3 being more potent enhances SREBP-1c expression, while it is inhibited by expression of STAT3.
651 16226915 This STAT3-mediated inhibition of SREBP-1c expression is antagonized by co-expression of SOCS proteins.
652 16226915 Moreover, db/db mice display decreased STAT3 phosphorylation in liver that is normalized by antisense treatment of SOCS proteins.
653 16226915 These data suggest that obese subjects in the persistent inflammatory states, such as elevated circulating tumor necrosis factor-alpha, may have down-regulated STAT3-mediated signaling by increased SOCS proteins, leading to up-regulation of SREBP-1c expression and increased fatty acid synthesis in liver.
654 16226915 Thus, SOCS proteins play an important role in pathogenesis of the metabolic syndrome by concordantly modulating cytokine signaling and insulin signaling.

682 16249443 Central leptin acutely reverses diet-induced hepatic insulin resistance.
683 16249443 Voluntary overfeeding rapidly induces resistance to the effects of systemic insulin and leptin on liver glucose metabolism.
684 16249443 To examine whether central administration of recombinant leptin can restore leptin and insulin action on liver glucose fluxes, we infused leptin in the third cerebral ventricle of conscious overfed rats during pancreatic-insulin clamp studies.
685 16249443 The effect of leptin on the phosphorylation of the signal transducer and activator of transcription-3 in the arcuate nuclei of the hypothalamus was similar in animals fed a regular diet or a high-fat diet for 3 days.
686 16249443 The inhibition of glycogenolysis was sufficient to normalize glucose production and was accompanied by leptin-induced decreases in the hepatic expression of glucose-6-phosphatase and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase.
687 16249443 Thus central administration of leptin rescues the hepatic insulin resistance induced by short-term hyperphagia.

725 16326804 Activated STAT-3 and AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), and the mRNA of lipooxidative enzymes, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma-coactivator-1alpha, and uncoupling protein-1 and -2 were increased in WAT.
726 16449352 Effect of simvastatin on high glucose- and angiotensin II-induced activation of the JAK/STAT pathway in mesangial cells.
727 16449352 We found that pretreatment with simvastatin significantly inhibited HG- and ANG II-induced collagen IV production, JAK2 activation, and phosphorylation of STAT1 and STAT3 in GMC.
728 16449352 We also found that the activation of JAK2 by HG and ANG II was dependent on the Rho family of GTPases.
729 16449352 Consistent with these in vitro results, both albumin protein excretion and phosphorylation of JAK2, STAT1, and STAT3 were attenuated in renal glomeruli by administration of simvastatin in a streptozotocin-induced rat model of HG diabetes.
730 16449352 This study demonstrates that simvastatin blocks ANG II-induced activation of the JAK/STAT pathway in the diabetic environment, in vitro and in vivo, and, thereby, provides new insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying early diabetic nephropathy.

736 16505217 Divergent regulation of proopiomelanocortin neurons by leptin in the nucleus of the solitary tract and in the arcuate hypothalamic nucleus.
737 16505217 Proopiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons in the arcuate nucleus (ARC) of the hypothalamus are activated by leptin and mediate part of leptin's central actions to influence energy balance.
738 16505217 However, little is known about potential leptin signaling in POMC neurons located in the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS), the only other known population of POMC neurons.
739 16505217 The contribution of NTS POMC neurons versus ARC POMC neurons in leptin action is thus undetermined.
740 16505217 We show here that in contrast to POMC neurons in the ARC, leptin does not stimulate phosphorylation of signal-transducer and activator of transcription 3 in NTS POMC neurons of POMC-EGFP reporter mice.
741 16505217 In addition, leptin does not induce c-Fos expression in NTS POMC neurons unlike ARC POMC neurons.
742 16505217 Fasting induces a fall in POMC mRNA in both the ARC and the NTS, but different from the ARC, the reduction in NTS POMC mRNA is not reversed by leptin.
743 16505217 We conclude that POMC neurons in the NTS do not respond to leptin unlike ARC POMC neurons.
744 16505217 POMC neurons in the hypothalamus may therefore mediate all of leptin's signaling via POMC-derived peptides in the central nervous system.
745 16505235 Moreover, serum concentrations of leptin and insulin were decreased dramatically by leptin in metformin-treated standard chow and high-fat-fed obese rats.
746 16505235 The hypothalamic phosphorylated AMP-activated protein kinase level was decreased by lower leptin dose in metformin-treated rats than in untreated rats.
747 16505235 In an acute study, metformin treatment also increased the anorexic effect of leptin (5 microg), and this was accompanied by an increased level of phosphorylated signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 in the hypothalamus.
748 16514419 Inhibition of EGF and LIF signalling by pharmacological antagonists of the JAK2/STAT3 pathway, or knockdown of Ngn3 by RNA interference prevented the generation of new insulin-positive cells.

750 16581004 Role of hepatic STAT3 in brain-insulin action on hepatic glucose production.
751 16581004 Here, we show that an increase in the plasma insulin concentration, achieved either by glucose administration or by intravenous insulin infusion, stimulates tyrosine phosphorylation of STAT3 in the liver.
752 16581004 This effect of insulin was mediated by the hormone's effects in the brain, and the increase in hepatic IL-6 induced by the brain-insulin action is essential for the activation of STAT3.
753 16581004 The inhibition of hepatic glucose production and of expression of gluconeogenic genes induced by intracerebral ventricular insulin infusion was impaired in mice with liver-specific STAT3 deficiency or in mice with IL-6 deficiency.
754 16581004 These results thus indicate that IL-6-STAT3 signaling in the liver contributes to insulin action in the brain, leading to the suppression of hepatic glucose production.

775 16627594 Long-term administration of estradiol decreases expression of hepatic lipogenic genes and improves insulin sensitivity in ob/ob mice: a possible mechanism is through direct regulation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3.
776 16687413 AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a key regulator of cellular energy balance and of the effects of leptin on food intake and fatty acid oxidation.
777 16687413 To determine whether diet-induced obesity (DIO) impairs the AMPK response to leptin in muscle and/or hypothalamus, we fed FVB mice a high fat (55%) diet for 10-12 weeks.
778 16687413 In addition, leptin increased STAT3 phosphorylation 2-fold in arcuate of chow-fed mice, but this effect was attenuated because of elevated basal STAT3 phosphorylation in DIO mice.
779 16687413 Thus, DIO in FVB mice alters alpha2-AMPK in muscle and hypothalamus and STAT3 in hypothalamus and impairs further effects of leptin on these signaling pathways.
780 16687413 Defective responses of AMPK to leptin may contribute to resistance to leptin action on food intake and energy expenditure in obese states.

786 16721034 Exercise enhances insulin and leptin signaling in the cerebral cortex and hypothalamus during dexamethasone-induced stress in diabetic rats.
787 16721034 We investigated the modulation of the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and insulin/leptin signaling associated with glucose utilization in the brains of 90% pancreatectomized diabetic rats, which had been administered two dosages of DEX and exercised for 8 weeks.
788 16721034 The data revealed that the administration of a high dose (0.1 mg/kg body weight/day) of DEX (HDEX) attenuated insulin signaling in the cerebral cortex and hypothalamus, whereas exercise potentiated their insulin signaling along with induction of IRS2 expression.
789 16721034 However, DEX reduced leptin-induced STAT3 phosphorylation in the cortex and hypothalamus, and it increased AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) phosphorylation only in the hypothalamus.
790 16721034 Exercise reversed the phosphorylation of STAT3 and AMPK which had been modulated by DEX.
791 16721034 In conclusion, exercise improves insulin and leptin signaling in the cerebral cortex and hypothalamus of diabetic rats exacerbated with HDEX, contributing to the regulation of body weight and glucose homeostasis.

799 16751422 We report in this study that leptin receptor (ObR) is expressed on resting normal mouse CD4(+), CD8(+), B cells, and monocyte/macrophages.
800 16751422 Leptin binding to ObR results in increased STAT-3 activation in T cells, with a different activation pattern in resting vs anti-CD3 Ab stimulated T cells.

817 16876574 Adipose tissue secretes leptin, steroid hormones, adiponectin, inflammatory cytokines, resistin, complement factors, and vasoactive peptides.
818 16876574 Leptin activates Janus-activating kinase2 (Jak2) and STAT 3, resulting in stimulation of anorexigenic peptides, e.g., alpha-MSH and CART, and inhibition of orexigenic peptides, e.g., NPY and AGRP.
819 16876574 Leptin also stimulates fatty acid oxidation, insulin release, and peripheral insulin action.
820 16876574 These effects involve regulation of PI-3 kinase, PTP-1B, suppressor of cytokine signaling-3 (SOCS-3), and AMP-activated protein kinase in the brain and peripheral organs.
821 16876574 There is emerging evidence that leptin, adiponectin, and resistin act through overlapping pathways.

823 16926159 Interleukin (IL)-6 is a proinflammatory cytokine that has been implicated in the expression of acute phase plasma proteins and hepatic insulin resistance through activation of the JAK/STAT3 pathway.
824 16926159 Here we show that treatment of cultured HepG2 hepatoma cells with PDTC inhibits IL-6-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation and subsequent nuclear translocation of STAT3 in a dose- and time-dependent fashion.
825 16926159 Although STAT3 coprecipitated with heat-shock protein 90 (Hsp90) in control cells, coprecipitation of the two proteins was greatly reduced after PDTC treatment or after exposure to geldanamycin, an Hsp90 inhibitor.
826 16926159 As a result there was a decrease in IL-6-induced association of STAT3 with the transcriptional coactivators FOXO1a and C/EBPbeta together with significant reduction in the expression of SOCS-3 protein and that of two major acute phase plasma proteins.
827 16926159 Importantly, treatment of HepG2 cells and a primary culture of rat hepatocytes with PDTC restored insulin responsiveness that was abrogated by IL-6.
828 16926159 These studies are consistent with the ability of PDTC to down-regulate IL-6-induced STAT3 activation by altering the stability of STAT3-Hsp90 complex.

864 16965293 Young adult-specific hyperphagia in diabetic Goto-kakizaki rats is associated with leptin resistance and elevation of neuropeptide Y mRNA in the arcuate nucleus.
865 16965293 In GK rats, leptin-induced phosphorylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 was significantly reduced in the cells of the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus (ARC), but not of the ventromedial hypothalamus, whereas the mRNA level of functional leptin receptor was unaltered.
866 16965293 By real-time polymerase chain reaction and in situ hybridisation, mRNA levels of neuropeptide Y, but not pro-opiomelanocortin and galanin-like peptide, were significantly increased in the ARC of GK rats at 11 weeks, but not 26 weeks.
867 16965293 These results demonstrate that young adult GK rats display hyperphagia in association with leptin resistance and increased NPY mRNA level in the ARC.
868 17021368 Using "reporter" mice, in which LRb-expressing (long form of the leptin receptor) neurons express the histological marker, beta-galactosidase, coupled with the detection of LRb-mediated signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 signaling events, we identified LRb expression in neuronal populations both within and outside the hypothalamus.
869 17021375 Leptin activates tyrosine kinase, Janus kinase 2, and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3, leading to increased levels of anorexigenic peptides, e.g., alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone and cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript, and inhibition of orexigenic peptides, e.g., neuropeptide Y and agouti-related peptide.
870 17021375 Obesity is characterized by hyperleptinemia and hypothalamic leptin resistance, partly caused by induction of suppressor of cytokine signaling-3.
871 17021375 Leptin also decreases glucose and stimulates lipolysis through central and peripheral pathways involving AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK).
872 17021375 Obesity, diabetes, and atherosclerosis have been associated with reduced adiponectin levels, whereas adiponectin treatment reverses these abnormalities partly through activation of AMPK in liver and muscle.
873 17021375 Administration of adiponectin in the brain recapitulates the peripheral actions to increase fatty acid oxidation and insulin sensitivity and reduce glucose.
874 17021375 As with leptin, adiponectin requires the central melanocortin pathway.
875 17021375 Furthermore, adiponectin stimulates fatty acid oxidation and reduces glucose and lipids, at least in part, by activating AMPK in muscle and liver.

877 17023536 Leptin is an adipocyte-derived hormone that signals body energy status to the brain by acting on multiple neuronal subgroups in the hypothalamus, including those that express proopiomelanocortin (Pomc) and agouti-related protein (Agrp).
878 17023536 Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (Stat3) is an important intracellular signaling molecule activated by leptin, and previous studies have shown that mice carrying a mutated leptin receptor that abolished Stat3 binding are grossly obese.
879 17023536 To determine the extent to which Stat3 signaling in Pomc neurons was responsible for these effects, we constructed Pomc-specific Stat3 mutants using a Cre recombinase transgene driven by the Pomc promoter.
880 17023536 We find that Pomc expression is diminished in the mutant mice, suggesting that Stat3 is required for Pomc transcription.
881 17023536 These results demonstrate a requirement for Stat3 in transcriptional regulation of Pomc but indicate that this circuit is only one of several components that underlie the neuronal response to leptin and the role of Stat3 in that response.

906 17038325 Combined leptin actions on adipose tissue and hypothalamus are required to deplete adipocyte fat in lean rats: implications for obesity treatment.
907 17038325 In +/+ but not in fa/fa rats, plasma catecholamine levels rose, and both P-STAT3 and P-CREB increased in adipose tissue, suggesting that both direct and indirect (hypothalamic) leptin receptor-mediated actions of hyperleptinemia are involved in depletion of adipocyte fat.
908 17063460 Molecular determinants of FGF-21 activity-synergy and cross-talk with PPARgamma signaling.
909 17063460 Here we describe the early signaling events triggered by FGF-21 treatment of 3T3-L1 adipocytes and reveal a functional interplay between FGF-21 and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) pathways that leads to a marked stimulation of glucose transport.
910 17063460 While the early actions of FGF-21 on 3T3-L1 adipocytes involve rapid accumulation of intracellular calcium and phosphorylation of Akt, GSK-3, p70(S6K), SHP-2, MEK1/2, and Stat3, continuous treatment for 72 h induces an increase in PPARgamma protein expression.
911 17063460 Moreover, chronic activation of the PPARgamma pathway in 3T3-L1 adipocytes with the PPARgamma agonist and anti-diabetic agent, rosiglitazone (BRL 49653), enhances FGF-21 action to induce tyrosine phosphorylation of FGF receptor-2.
912 17063460 Strikingly, treatment of cells with FGF-21 and rosiglitazone in combination leads to a pronounced increase in expression of the GLUT1 glucose transporter and a marked synergy in stimulation of glucose transport.
913 17063460 Together these results reveal a novel synergy between two regulators of glucose homeostasis, FGF-21 and PPARgamma, and further define FGF-21 mechanism of action.
914 17065390 Here, we report the establishment of the first in vitro tissue model of INGAP expression that consists of epithelial cystic structures derived from hamster pancreatic acinar tissue cultured in collagen matrix.
915 17065390 We also demonstrate for the first time that INGAP gene expression was significantly induced by treatment with interleukin (IL)-6 and further enhanced by a combination of IL-6 with dexamethazone and nicotinamide.
916 17065390 Additionally, our data suggest that the effect of IL-6 on INGAP expression is mediated via the JAK/STAT3 signaling pathway.
917 17143592 In contrast to our previous findings with MDA-MB-435 cells, DFMO did not affect the activation of STAT3, JNK, and ERK, but decreased phosphorylation of p38.
918 17192474 The GSK3beta mediators, P-Akt, P-extracellular signal-related kinase (ERK)1, and P-signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT)3, were also significantly reduced in untreated DBR compared with NDBR rats.

945 17267401 Adipose tissue secretes different adipokines, including interleukin-6 (IL-6), that have been implicated in the insulin resistance and inflammatory state characterizing obesity.
946 17267401 We examined the putative cross-talk between insulin and IL-6 in adipose cells and found that insulin exerts an inhibitory effect on the IL-6 signaling pathway by altering the post-translational modifications of the signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3).
947 17267401 Insulin reduces the tyrosine phosphorylation and increases the serine phosphorylation of STAT3, thereby reducing its nuclear localization and transcriptional activity.

949 17267401 We also show that the protein tyrosine phosphatase SHP2 is activated upon insulin signaling and is required for the dephosphorylation of STAT3 and that insulin exerts a synergistic effect with IL-6 on suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 expression.
950 17267401 As a consequence, the IL-6-induced expression of the inflammatory markers serum amyloid A 3 and haptoglobin are significantly decreased in cells incubated with both IL-6 and insulin.

968 17295835 The dual function of hepatic SOCS3 in insulin resistance in vivo.
969 17295835 The suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3), which is induced by pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as TNFalpha and IL-6, has been implicated in inflammation-mediated insulin resistance in the liver and adipocytes.
970 17295835 However, no genetic evidence has been provided for the involvement of SOCS3 on insulin resistance.
971 17295835 Here, we generated hepatocyte-specific SOCS3-deficient (L-SOCS3 cKO) mice and examined insulin sensitivity.
972 17295835 Being consistent with a previous idea, the loss of SOCS3 in the liver apparently improved insulin sensitivity.
973 17295835 However, unexpectedly, L-SOCS3 cKO mice exhibited obesity and systemic insulin resistance with age.
974 17295835 Insulin signaling was rather suppressed in muscles, suggesting that deletion of the SOCS3 gene in the liver modulates insulin sensitivity in other organs.
975 17295835 Anti-inflammatory reagent, sodium salicylate, partial improved insulin resistance of aged L-SOCS3 cKO mice, suggesting that enhanced inflammatory status is associated with the phenotype of these mice.
976 17295835 STAT3 was hyperactivated and acute-phase proteins were elevated in L-SOCS3 cKO mice liver, which were reduced by sodium salicylate treatment.
977 17295835 We conclude that hepatic SOCS3 is a mediator of insulin resistance in the liver; however, lack of SOCS3 in the liver promotes systemic insulin resistance by mimicking chronic inflammation.
978 17327450 Effects of pioglitazone on suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 expression: potential mechanisms for its effects on insulin sensitivity and adiponectin expression.
979 17327450 Recent studies have shown that the induction of suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3) is related to the development of insulin resistance.
980 17327450 Here, we examined whether the insulin-sensitizing effect of pioglitazone affects the SOCS induction.
981 17327450 In 3T3-L1 adipocytes, mediators of insulin resistance such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin-6, growth hormone, and insulin increased SOCS3 expression, which was partially inhibited by pioglitazone.
982 17327450 The ability of pioglitazone to suppress SOCS3 induction by TNF-alpha was greatly augmented by peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma overexpression.
983 17327450 SOCS3 overexpression and tyrphostin AG490, a Janus kinase 2 inhibitor, or dominant-negative STAT3 expression partially inhibited adiponectin secretion and was accompanied by decreased STAT3 phosphorylation.
984 17327450 Conversely, pioglitazone increased adiponectin secretion and STAT3 phosphorylation in fat tissue of db/db mice and in 3T3-L1 adipocytes.
985 17327450 These results suggest that pioglitazone exerts its effect to improve whole-body insulin sensitivity in part through the suppression of SOCS3, which is associated with the increase in STAT3 phosphorylation and adiponectin production in fat tissue.

1002 17363741 Interleukin (IL)-6 is a proinflammatory cytokine shown to modify insulin sensitivity.
1003 17363741 Elevated plasma levels of IL-6 are observed in insulin-resistant states.
1004 17363741 Thus, IL-6 has also been suggested to promote insulin-mediated glucose utilization.
1005 17363741 A 30-min pre-exposure to IL-6 did not affect insulin-stimulated glucose transport.
1006 17363741 IL-6 increased phosphorylation of STAT3 (signal transducer and activator of transcription 3; P < 0.05), AMP-activated protein kinase (P = 0.063), and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (P < 0.05) and reduced phosphorylation of S6 ribosomal protein (P < 0.05).
1007 17363741 In contrast, phosphorylation of protein kinase B/Akt, AS160 (Akt substrate of 160 kDa), and GSK3alpha/beta (glycogen synthase kinase 3alpha/beta) as well as insulin receptor substrate 1-associated phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activity remained unaltered.
1008 17363741 Insulin-stimulated glucose transport and insulin signaling were unchanged after IL-6 exposure.
1009 17394460 Rosiglitazone treatment curtailed the post-ischemic expression of the pro-inflammatory genes interleukin-1beta, interleukin-6, macrophage inflammatory protein-1alpha, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, cyclooxygenase-2, inducible nitric oxide synthase, early growth response-1, CCAAT/enhancer binding protein-beta and nuclear factor-kappa B, and increased the expression of the anti-oxidant enzymes catalase and copper/zinc-superoxide dismutase.
1010 17394460 Rosiglitazone also increased the expression of the anti-inflammatory gene suppressor of cytokine signaling-3 and prevented the phosphorylation of the transcription factor signal transducer and activator of transcription-3 after focal ischemia.
1011 17406644 Glycerol kinase deficiency alters expression of genes involved in lipid metabolism, carbohydrate metabolism, and insulin signaling.
1012 17406644 Glycerol kinase (GK) is at the interface of fat and carbohydrate metabolism and has been implicated in insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
1013 17406644 To define GK's role in insulin resistance, we examined gene expression in brown adipose tissue in a glycerol kinase knockout (KO) mouse model using microarray analysis.
1014 17406644 PathwayAssist analysis confirmed direct and indirect connections between glycerol kinase and genes in lipid metabolism, carbohydrate metabolism, insulin signaling, and insulin resistance.
1015 17406644 Network component analysis (NCA) showed that the transcription factors (TFs) PPAR-gamma, SREBP-1, SREBP-2, STAT3, STAT5, SP1, CEBPalpha, CREB, GR and PPAR-alpha have altered activity in the KO mice.
1016 17406644 This study elucidates the complex network of glycerol kinase and further confirms a possible role for glycerol kinase deficiency, a simple Mendelian disorder, in insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes mellitus, a common complex genetic disorder.
1017 17440173 CD36-facilitated fatty acid uptake inhibits leptin production and signaling in adipose tissue.
1018 17440173 Fatty acid inhibition of basal and insulin-stimulated leptin release is linked to CD36-facilitated fatty acid flux, which is important for fatty acid activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma and likely contributes to the nutrient sensing function of adipocytes.
1019 17440173 Fatty acid uptake also may modulate adipocyte leptin signaling.
1020 17440173 The ratio of phosphorylated to unphosphorylated signal transducer and activator of transcription 3, an index of leptin activity, is increased in CD36-null fat tissue disproportionately to leptin levels.
1021 17440173 Targeting adipocyte CD36 may offer a way to uncouple leptin production and adiposity.

1183 18451094 In addition, these data establish that LIFR-JAK1-Stat3-SOCS3 signaling is an essential pathway for the regulation of trophoblast giant cell differentiation.
1184 18451994 Both strains displayed a dramatic upregulation of hepatic leptin receptor expression, while only IRDeltaper mice displayed increased hepatic Stat3 phosphorylation and Il6 expression.
1185 18451994 Leptin replacement restored hepatic Stat3 phosphorylation and normalized glucose metabolism in these mice, indicating that alterations in glucose metabolism occur largely as a consequence of lipoathrophy upon body-wide IR deletion.
1186 18451994 Moreover, chronic intracerebroventricular insulin treatment of control mice increased fat mass, fat cell size, and adipose tissue lipoprotein lipase expression, indicating that CNS insulin action promotes lipogenesis.
1187 18451994 These studies demonstrate that central insulin action plays an important role in regulating WAT mass and glucose metabolism via hepatic Stat3 activation.

1196 18460640 Growth hormone (GH) controls the physiology and pathophysiology of the liver, and its signals are conducted by two members of the family of signal transducers and activators of transcription, STAT5A and STAT5B.
1197 18460640 Mice in which the Stat5a/b locus has been inactivated specifically in hepatocytes display GH resistance, the sex-specific expression of genes associated with liver metabolism and the cytochrome P-450 system is lost, and they develop hepatosteatosis.
1198 18460640 Evidence is accumulating that in the absence of STAT5A/B GH aberrantly activates STAT1 and STAT3 and their downstream target genes and thereby offers a partial explanation of some of the physiological alterations observed in Stat5a/b-null mice and human patients.
1199 18460640 We hypothesize that phenotypic changes observed in the absence of STAT5A/B are due to two distinct molecular consequences: first, the failure of STAT5A/B target genes to be activated by GH and second, the rerouting of GH signaling to other members of the STAT family.
1200 18460640 Rerouting of GH signaling to STAT1 and STAT3 might partially compensate for the loss of STAT5A/B, but it certainly activates biological programs distinct from STAT5A/B.

1206 18484352 Data from individual animals were used to identify genes in mouse skeletal muscle whose expression correlated with a known serum marker of skeletal myopathy, creatine kinase activity (CK), after treatment with a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPAR) agonist, GW610742X.
1207 18484352 Six genes had correlation coefficients of >or=0.90: Mt1a (metallothionein 1a), Rrad (Ras-related associated with diabetes), Ankrd1 (ankyrin repeat domain 1), Stat3 (signal transducer and activator of transcription 3), Socs3 (suppressor of cytokine signalling 3) and Mid1ip1 (Mid1 interacting protein 1).
1208 18832793 We analyzed the changes in neurological severity scores, infarct volume, number of apoptotic neurons, and the expression of G-CSF receptor, phosphorylated signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (pSTAT3), cellular inhibitor of apoptosis protein 2 (cIAP2), Bcl-2, and Bax in the brain tissue.
1209 18832793 Bax is a pro-apoptotic member of the Bcl-2 protein family.
1210 18832793 The G-CSF also increased the expression of pSTAT3, Bcl-2, and cIAP2 proteins as well as Bcl-2 mRNA, but inhibited Bax protein expression in the brain.
1211 18997673 In vitro, Q223R did not affect leptin signaling as reflected by activation of STAT3.
1212 19110536 In up to 8010 cases and 9733 controls we found some evidence for an association with T1D in the regions containing genes: 2q32/STAT4, 17q21/STAT3, 5p15/ERAP1 (ARTS1), 6q23/TNFAIP3 and 12q13/KIF5A/PIP4K2C with allelic P-values ranging from 3.70 x 10(-3) to 3.20 x 10(-5).
1213 19136996 Leptin binding to LepRb activates the associated Janus kinase-2 (Jak2) tyrosine kinase to promote the phosphorylation of Jak2 and three residues on LepRb; each of these sites mediates a distinct aspect of downstream LepRb signaling, with differing physiologic functions.
1214 19136996 Tyr(1138) --> STAT3 signaling suppresses feeding, but is not required for a number of other leptin actions.
1215 19136996 The role for Tyr(1077), the major regulator of signal transducer and activator of transcription-5 (STAT5) during leptin signaling, in the physiologic response to leptin remains unclear, although the obese phenotype of animals deleted for STAT5 in the brain suggests the potential importance of this signaling pathway.
1216 19150989 Here, we show that BBS proteins are required for leptin receptor (LepR) signaling in the hypothalamus.
1217 19150989 We found that Bbs2(-/-), Bbs4(-/-) and Bbs6(-/-) mice are resistant to the action of leptin to reduce body weight and food intake regardless of serum leptin levels and obesity.
1218 19150989 In addition, activation of hypothalamic STAT3 by leptin is significantly decreased in Bbs2(-/-), Bbs4(-/-) and Bbs6(-/-) mice.
1219 19150989 In contrast, downstream melanocortin receptor signaling is unaffected, indicating that LepR signaling is specifically impaired in Bbs2(-/-), Bbs4(-/-) and Bbs6(-/-) mice.
1220 19150989 Impaired LepR signaling in BBS mice was associated with decreased Pomc gene expression.
1221 19150989 Furthermore, we found that BBS1 protein physically interacts with the LepR and that loss of BBS proteins perturbs LepR trafficking.
1222 19150989 Our data indicate that BBS proteins mediate LepR trafficking and that impaired LepR signaling underlies energy imbalance in BBS.
1223 19233843 Incubating primary hepatocyte cultures with recombinant FGF-19 suppressed the ability of insulin to stimulate fatty acid synthesis.
1224 19233843 FGF-19 also suppressed the insulin-induced expression of sterol regulatory element-binding protein-1c (SREBP-1c), a key transcriptional activator of lipogenic genes.
1225 19233843 FGF-19 inhibition of lipogenic enzyme expression was not mediated by alterations in the activity of the insulin signal transduction pathway or changes in the activity of ERK, p38 MAPK, and AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK).
1226 19233843 In contrast, FGF-19 increased the activity of STAT3, an inhibitor of SREBP-1c expression and decreased the expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator-1beta (PGC-1beta), an activator of SREBP-1c activity.
1227 19233843 FGF-19 also increased the expression of small heterodimer partner (SHP), a transcriptional repressor that inhibits lipogenic enzyme expression via a SREBP-1c-independent mechanism.
1228 19233843 Inhibition of SREBP-1c activity by changes in STAT3 and PGC-1beta activity and inhibition of gene transcription by an elevation in SHP expression can explain the inhibition of lipogenesis caused by FGF-19.
1229 19233843 In summary, the inhibitory effect of FGF-19 on insulin activation of hepatic fatty acid synthesis constitutes a mechanism that would explain the beneficial effect of FGF-19 on metabolic syndrome.

1262 19264844 The regulation of expression of gluconeogenic genes including glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase) and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) in the liver plays an important role in glucose homeostasis, because aberrant expression of these genes contributes to the development of type 2 diabetes.
1263 19264844 Herein we demonstrate that phosphorylated STAT3 is required for repression of G6Pase expression by IL-6 in both HepG2 cells and mouse liver.

1382 19547759 Diminished expression of ICOS, GITR and CTLA-4 at the mRNA level in T regulatory cells of children with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes.
1383 19547759 The percentages of CD4(+)CD25(high)CD127(dim/-) were very low and did not differ between T1DM and control children.
1384 19547759 We did not observe any statistically significant differences between healthy and diabetic children in mRNA expression for FoxP3, IL-7R (CD127), IL-8RA, IL-10RA, IL-12A, IL-2RA (CD25), IL-21, STAT1, STAT3, SOCS2, SOCS3, TGF-beta1-R1, TGF-beta-R2 and TBX-21 genes.

1386 19549853 SirT1 knockdown in liver decreases basal hepatic glucose production and increases hepatic insulin responsiveness in diabetic rats.
1387 19549853 Because Sirtuin 1 (SirT1) induces hepatic gluconeogenesis during fasting through the induction of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase kinase (PEPCK), fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase), and glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase) gene transcription, we hypothesized that reducing SirT1, by using an antisense oligonucleotide (ASO), would decrease fasting hyperglycemia in a rat model of T2DM.
1388 19549853 Whole body insulin sensitivity was also increased in the SirT1 ASO treated rats as reflected by a 25% increase in the glucose infusion rate required to maintain euglycemia during the hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp and could entirely be attributed to increased suppression of hepatic glucose production by insulin.
1389 19549853 The reduction in basal and clamped rates of glucose production could in turn be attributed to decreased expression of PEPCK, FBPase, and G6Pase due to increased acetylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), forkhead box O1 (FOXO1), and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator 1alpha (PGC-1alpha), known substrates of SirT1.
1390 19661066 Berberine differentially modulates the activities of ERK, p38 MAPK, and JNK to suppress Th17 and Th1 T cell differentiation in type 1 diabetic mice.
1391 19661066 We found that berberine inhibited Th17 differentiation by activating ERK1/2 and inhibited Th1 differentiation by inhibiting p38 MAPK and JNK activation.
1392 19661066 Berberine down-regulated the activity of STAT1 and STAT4 through the suppression of p38 MAPK and JNK activation, and it controlled the stability of STAT4 through the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway.
1393 19661066 This study revealed a novel role of ERK in Th17 differentiation through down-regulation of STAT3 phosphorylation and RORgamma t expression.
1394 19696171 Inhibition of JAK2/STAT3-mediated VEGF upregulation under high glucose conditions by PEDF through a mitochondrial ROS pathway in vitro.
1395 19786623 Oral administration of TC-7020 reduced weight gain and food intake, reduced elevated glucose and glycated hemoglobin levels, and lowered elevated plasma levels of triglycerides and the proinflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor-alpha.
1396 19786623 Prevention of weight gain, decreased food intake, and normalization of glucose levels were also blocked by the Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) inhibitor alpha-cyano-(3,4-dihydroxy)-N-benzylcinnamide (AG-490), suggesting that these effects involve linkage of alpha7 nAChRs to the JAK2-signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 signaling pathway.

1454 19911006 AATF mediates an antiapoptotic effect of the unfolded protein response through transcriptional regulation of AKT1.
1455 19911006 Through the gene expression profiling of beta-cells lacking Wolfram syndrome 1 gene (WFS1), a causative gene for Wolfram syndrome, we discovered a novel antiapoptotic gene of the unfolded protein response (UPR), apoptosis antagonizing transcription factor (AATF).
1456 19911006 We show that AATF is induced by ER stress through the PERK-eIF2alpha pathway and transcriptionally activates the v-akt murine thymoma viral oncogene homolog 1 (AKT1) gene through signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (Stat3), which sustains Akt1 activation and promotes cell survival.
1457 19911006 Ectopic expression of AATF or a constitutively active form of AKT1 confers on cells resistance to ER stress-mediated cell death, whereas RNAi-mediated knockdown of AATF or AKT1 renders cells sensitive to ER stress.
1458 19911006 We also discovered a positive crosstalk between the AATF and WFS1 signaling pathways.
1459 19911006 Thus, WFS1 deficiency or AATF deficiency mediates a self-perpetuating cycle of cell death.
1460 19924142 The suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS)-3 determines keratinocyte proliferative and migratory potential during skin repair.
1461 19924142 Recently, the suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS)-3 has been shown to be expressed in disturbed wound margin epithelia during diabetes-impaired wound healing in mice.
1462 19924142 To functionally connect a potential contribution of SOCS-3 expression to the control of wound keratinocyte behavior in skin repair, we created a transgenic mouse (tsgn-K5/SOCS3) overexpressing SOCS-3 in keratinocytes using the bovine keratin 5 promoter.
1463 19924142 Keratinocytes of tsgn-K5/SOCS3 mice showed full inhibition of signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT)-3 phosphorylation.
1464 19924142 In addition, tsgn-K5/SOCS3 keratinocytes co-expressed the differentiation marker loricrin in the basal layer of nonwounded skin in vivo.

1470 20488947 UPR-mediated TRIB3 expression correlates with reduced AKT phosphorylation and inability of interleukin 6 to overcome palmitate-induced apoptosis in RINm5F cells.
1471 20488947 In the present study, we have demonstrated that PA selectively disrupts IL6-induced RAC-alpha serine/threonine-protein kinase (AKT) activation without interfering with signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 phosphorylation in RINm5F cells.
1472 20488947 The inability of IL6 to activate AKT in the presence of PA correlated with an inefficient protection against PA-induced apoptosis.
1473 20488947 In addition, we have demonstrated that IL6 is unable to overcome PA-stimulated UPR, as assessed by activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4) and C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP) expression, X-box binding protein-1 gene mRNA splicing, and pancreatic eukaryotic initiation factor-2 alpha kinase phosphorylation, whereas no significant induction of UPR by pro-inflammatory cytokines was detected.
1474 20488947 This unconditional stimulation of UPR and apoptosis by PA was accompanied by the stimulation of CHOP and tribble3 (TRIB3) expression, irrespective of the presence of IL6.
1475 20488947 In this way, CHOP and ATF4 might mediate PA-induced TRIB3 expression and, by extension, the suppression of IL6 activation of pro-survival kinase AKT.

1479 20846165 IL-10 was ineffective against TLR-4-induced cytokine secretion due to lack of IL-10 receptor on human adipocytes, in contrast to the widely used murine 3T3-L1 adipocyte model, which is known to respond to IL-10.

1542 21031339 Leptin injection to TallyHo mice, however, increased the phosphorylation of STAT3 and Akt, an important signaling mediator of leptin, in a pattern similar to that in C57BL/6 mice.
1543 21037323 Cut-like homeobox 1 (CUX1) regulates expression of the fat mass and obesity-associated and retinitis pigmentosa GTPase regulator-interacting protein-1-like (RPGRIP1L) genes and coordinates leptin receptor signaling.
1544 21037323 In an effort to identify the molecular basis for this association, we discovered that FTO and RPGRIP1L (a ciliary gene located in close proximity to the transcriptional start site of FTO) are regulated by isoforms P200 and P110 of the transcription factor, CUX1.
1545 21037323 Promoter-probe analysis revealed that binding of P200 to this site represses FTO, whereas binding of P110 increases transcriptional activity from the FTO as well as RPGRIP1L minimal promoters.
1546 21037323 Reduced expression of Fto or Rpgrip1l affects leptin receptor isoform b trafficking and leptin signaling in N41 mouse hypothalamic or N2a neuroblastoma cells in vitro.
1547 21037323 Leptin receptor clusters in the vicinity of the cilium of arcuate hypothalamic neurons in C57BL/6J mice treated with leptin, but not in fasted mice, suggesting a potentially important role of the cilium in leptin signaling that is, in part, regulated by FTO and RPGRIP1L.
1548 21037323 Decreased Fto/Rpgrip1l expression in the arcuate hypothalamus coincides with decreased nuclear enzymatic activity of a protease (cathepsin L) that has been shown to cleave full-length CUX1 (P200) to P110.
1549 21037323 P200 disrupts (whereas P110 promotes) leptin receptor isoform b clustering in the vicinity of the cilium in vitro.
1550 21037323 Clustering of the receptor coincides with increased leptin signaling as reflected in protein levels of phosphorylated Stat3 (p-Stat3).
1551 21037323 The obesity-risk (A) allele shows reduced affinity for the FTO and RPGRIP1L transcriptional activator P110, leading to the following: 1) decreased FTO and RPGRIP1L mRNA levels; 2) reduced LEPR trafficking to the cilium; and, as a consequence, 3) a diminished cellular response to leptin.

1605 21300624 Amongst these are multiple genes involved in IL23/Th17 signalling (IL23R, IL12B, JAK2, TYK2 and STAT3), IL10, IL1R2, REL, CARD9, NKX2.3, ICOSLG, PRDM1, SMAD3 and ORMDL3.
1606 21300624 For Crohn's disease, defective processing of intracellular bacteria has become a central theme, following gene discoveries in autophagy and innate immunity (associations with NOD2, IRGM, ATG16L1 are specific to Crohn's disease).
1607 21300624 Genetic evidence has also demonstrated the importance of barrier function to the development of ulcerative colitis (HNF4A, LAMB1, CDH1 and GNA12).
1608 21321316 A ketogenic diet impairs energy and glucose homeostasis by the attenuation of hypothalamic leptin signaling and hepatic insulin signaling in a rat model of non-obese type 2 diabetes.

1610 21321316 The increased hepatic glucose output in KTD was associated with increased hepatic phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase expression through attenuated tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS2 and phosphorylation of Akt(Ser473).
1611 21321316 In conclusion, KTD impairs energy and glucose homeostasis by exacerbating insulin resistance and attenuating hypothalamic leptin signaling in non-obese type 2 diabetic rats.
1612 21364767 Altered corticosterone, leptin, and adiponectin profiles were also documented in GK animals.
1613 21364767 The GK animals exhibited an age-specific failure to accumulate body fat despite their relatively higher calorie consumption which was well supported by the altered expression of genes involved in adipogenesis and lipogenesis in the white adipose tissue of these animals, including Fasn, Acly, Kklf9, and Stat3.

1615 21372039 Abnormal activation of the insulin-like growth factor (IGF)/ IGF-1 receptor (IGF-1R) axis is also involved in obesity-related liver tumorigenesis.

1617 21372039 The serum levels of insulin, IGF-1, IGF-2, free fatty acid, and TNF-α were all decreased by drinking EGCG, which also decreased the expression of TNF-α, interleukin (IL)-6, IL-1β, and IL-18 mRNAs in the livers.
1618 21377916 IL-6 signaling plays a pivotal role in controlling the differentiation and activation of T lymphocytes by inducing the Jak/STAT-3 and the Ras/Erk/C/EBP pathways.
1619 21459325 Adiponectin enhances insulin sensitivity by increasing hepatic IRS-2 expression via a macrophage-derived IL-6-dependent pathway.
1620 21459325 Many actions of adiponectin, a well-recognized antidiabetic adipokine, are currently attributed to the activation of two critical molecules downstream of AdipoR1 and R2: AMP-activated kinase (AMPK) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα).
1621 21459325 However, the direct effects of adiponectin on insulin signaling molecules remain poorly understood.
1622 21459325 We show here that adiponectin upregulates IRS-2 through activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription-3 (STAT3).
1623 21459325 Surprisingly, this activation is associated with IL-6 production from macrophages induced by adiponectin through NFκB activation independent of its authentic receptors, AdipoR1 and AdipoR2.
1624 21459325 These data have unraveled an insulin-sensitizing action initiated by adiponectin leading to upregulation of hepatic IRS-2 via an IL-6 dependent pathway through a still unidentified adiponectin receptor.
1625 21519350 Further study revealed that TCV significantly decreased the production of both interleukin (IL)-17 and IL-23 in intrapancreatic infiltrating lymphocytes (IPL) through marked inhibition of mRNA level of retinoic acid-related orphan receptor γt (RORγt) and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (Stat3) phosphorylation.

1627 21652728 Fetal neonatal leptin and insulin deficiency results in reduced hypothalamic axonal pathways regulating appetite, which may predispose to offspring hyperphagia and obesity.
1628 21652728 Neural development of the arcuate nucleus, a key target of adiposity signals, leptin and insulin, is immature at birth.
1629 21652728 Hence, to explore proximate effects of leptin/insulin on hypothalamic development, we determined trophic and differentiation effects on neural stem/progenitor cells using a model of fetal hypothalamic neurospheres (NS).
1630 21652728 NS cultures were produced from embryonic d 20 fetal rats and passage 1 and passage 2 cells examined for proliferation and differentiation into neurons (neuronal nuclei, class IIIβ-tubulin, and doublecortin) and astrocytes (glial fibrillary acidic protein).
1631 21652728 Leptin-induced NS proliferation was significantly greater than that induced by insulin, although both effects were blocked by Notch, extracellular signal-regulated kinase, or signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 inhibition.
1632 21652728 Leptin preferentially induced neuronal, whereas insulin promoted astrocyte differentiation.
1633 21652728 Extracellular signal-regulated kinase inhibition suppressed both leptin and insulin-mediated differentiation, whereas signal transducer and activator of transcription inhibition only affected leptin-mediated responses.
1634 21652728 Altered fetal exposure to leptin or insulin, resulting from fetal growth restriction, macrosomia, or maternal diabetes, may potentially have marked effects on fetal brain development.
1635 21747171 ER activation inhibited β cell lipid synthesis by suppressing the expression (and activity) of fatty acid synthase via a nonclassical pathway dependent on activated Stat3.
1636 21776823 Molecular and cellular studies indicated that metformin significantly elevated p53 and Bax levels and reduced STAT3 and Bcl-2.
1637 21776823 Receptor inhibitor studies indicated that p53 activation was mediated through insulin receptor (IR), not insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-IR).
1638 21776823 Furthermore, MEK inhibitor significantly suppressed metformin-induced p53 and Bax elevation while ERK inhibitor generated a slight reduction in p53 levels.
1639 21776823 In contrast, PI3K inhibitor did not produce any effect on the metformin-elevated p53 levels.
1640 21776823 Finally, SAPK/JNK, known to be involved in apoptosis, was activated in cells treated with metformin and the activation appeared to occur downstream of ERK.
1641 21776823 All these results suggested that metformin activated p53, Bax, and induced tumor cell apoptosis through the ERK signaling pathway.
1642 21776823 This pathway has not been previously described for IR, p53, Bax activation, or apoptosis.
1643 21822824 Mechanisms that link these two processes are not completely understood, but transcription factors of the NF-κB family and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), cytokines such as IL-6 and IL-1α and ligands of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) family are clearly pivotal players.
1644 21953375 Analysis of mRNA sequencing data identified that treatment of keratinocytes with 20 μM hydroxytyrosol results in the upregulation of numerous antioxidant proteins and enzymes, including heme oxygenase-1 (15.46-fold upregulation), glutaredoxin (1.65) and glutathione peroxidase (1.53).
1645 21953375 These include changes in the expression of STAT3, STAT6, SMAD7 and ETS-1.

1648 22178606 We report here that high glucose (HG) treatment stimulated astrocytic morphological alteration coupled with changes in glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and vimentin expression.
1649 22178606 Additionally, HG upregulated the expression of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-4 (IL-4), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF); however, its effects on transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) expression were not evident.
1650 22178606 HG treatment induced increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) as well as activation of nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) and signal transducer and activator transcription 3 (STAT 3).
1651 22178606 HG-induced expression of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β, IL-4, and VEGF was blocked by ROS scavenger and inhibitors specific for NF-κB and STAT 3, respectively.

1754 22649064 LIF signaling and response were studied following administration of recombinant LIF and siRNA knockdown of suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS)3 in myoblast cultures established from healthy individuals and patients with type 2 diabetes.
1755 22649064 LIF and LIFR proteins were increased in both muscle tissue and cultured myoblasts from diabetic patients.
1756 22649064 Nonetheless, in the diabetic myoblasts, LIF-induced phosphorylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT)1 and STAT3 was impaired.
1757 22649064 The deficient response to LIF administration in the diabetic myoblasts was further emphasized by a lack of increase in LIF-stimulated cell proliferation and a decreased LIF-stimulated induction of the proliferation-promoting factors cyclin D1, JunB, and c-myc.

1768 22722139 AGER/RAGE-mediated autophagy promotes pancreatic tumorigenesis and bioenergetics through the IL6-pSTAT3 pathway.
1769 22722139 Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA), the fourth leading cause of cancer death in the United States, is a complex disease that arises in the setting of genetic alterations (KRAS, BRCA1, SMAD4, CDKN2A/p16 (INK4a) and TP53), epigenetic perturbations (MIR155, acetylation and methylation) and epicellular events (diabetes and inflammation).
1770 22722139 In pancreatic tumor cell lines, AGER-mediated autophagy promotes interleukin-6 (IL6)-induced phosphorylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (pSTAT3) and mitochondrial localization of pSTAT3.
1771 22722139 Moreover, we observed a positive feedback loop between activation of autophagy and the IL6-pSTAT3 pathway, perhaps different from the role of cytosolic nonphosphorylated STAT3, which has been reported to inhibit autophagy.
1772 22722139 Thus, AGER is an important inflammatory mediator that modulates crosstalk between prosurvival pathways, IL6-pSTAT3 and autophagy, in PDA tumor cells, and contributes to early PanIN formation.
1773 22722139 AGER/RAGE-mediated autophagy promotes pancreatic tumorigenesis and bioenergetics through the IL6-pSTAT3 pathway.
1774 22722139 Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA), the fourth leading cause of cancer death in the United States, is a complex disease that arises in the setting of genetic alterations (KRAS, BRCA1, SMAD4, CDKN2A/p16 (INK4a) and TP53), epigenetic perturbations (MIR155, acetylation and methylation) and epicellular events (diabetes and inflammation).
1775 22722139 In pancreatic tumor cell lines, AGER-mediated autophagy promotes interleukin-6 (IL6)-induced phosphorylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (pSTAT3) and mitochondrial localization of pSTAT3.
1776 22722139 Moreover, we observed a positive feedback loop between activation of autophagy and the IL6-pSTAT3 pathway, perhaps different from the role of cytosolic nonphosphorylated STAT3, which has been reported to inhibit autophagy.
1777 22722139 Thus, AGER is an important inflammatory mediator that modulates crosstalk between prosurvival pathways, IL6-pSTAT3 and autophagy, in PDA tumor cells, and contributes to early PanIN formation.

1832 22842565 Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) induces M2 polarization of human macrophages via STAT3 activation.
1833 22842565 GLP-1 is now used for the treatment of diabetes because of its beneficial role against insulin resistance.
1834 22842565 The GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) is expressed on many cell types, including macrophages, and GLP-1 suppresses the development of atherosclerosis by inhibiting macrophage function.
1835 22842565 However, there have so far been few studies that have investigated the significance of GLP-1/GLP-1R signaling in macrophage activation.

1857 22941110 We found that Rho-kinase 1 (ROCK1) regulates leptin action on body weight homeostasis by activating JAK2, an initial trigger of leptin receptor signaling.
1858 22941110 Leptin promoted the physical interaction of JAK2 and ROCK1, thereby increasing phosphorylation of JAK2 and downstream activation of Stat3 and FOXO1.
1859 22941110 Mice lacking ROCK1 in either pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) or agouti-related protein neurons, mediators of leptin action, displayed obesity and impaired leptin sensitivity.

2081 23504315 LIM-homeodomain transcription factor Isl-1 mediates the effect of leptin on insulin secretion in mice.
2082 23504315 In addition to the well known regulating effects of leptin on energy balance and glucose homeostasis through the central nervous system, circulating leptin has a direct effect on pancreatic islet and insulin secretion through its receptor (OBRb).
2083 23504315 The LIM-homeodomain transcription factor Isl-1 is expressed in all classes of pancreatic endocrine cells and is involved in regulating both islet development and insulin secretion.
2084 23504315 However, the interactions and physiological significance of leptin and Isl-1 in pancreatic islets remain to be established.
2085 23504315 Here, we show that most of leptin target cells in pancreatic islets and NIT beta cells express Isl-1.
2086 23504315 Both in vivo and in vitro results demonstrate that leptin suppresses Isl-1 expression and insulin secretion in islet in physiological and pathophysiological conditions, e.g. high fat diet.
2087 23504315 This effect of leptin on insulin secretion is lost in leptin receptor-defective db/db and Isl-1-inducible knock-out mice.
2088 23504315 We conclude that the action of leptin on insulin secretion is at least partly mediated by Isl-1.
2089 23504315 Another new finding of this study is that Isl-1 acts as a direct downstream target of leptin signaling molecule STAT3 to influence the effect of leptin on insulin secretion, whereas inversely, insulin has feedback regulating effects on Isl-1 expression through JAK-STAT3 pathway.
2090 23510983 Differential effects of interleukin-13 and interleukin-6 on Jak/STAT signaling and cell viability in pancreatic β-cells.
2091 23510983 Since enteroviral infection of islet cells may influence the development of diabetes in humans, we examined the actions of two cytokines, IL-13 and IL-6, whose expression are reported to be altered in β-cells during enteroviral infection.
2092 23510983 Human and rodent islet cells were shown to express receptors for both IL-13 and IL-6, and treatment with either cytokine resulted in the rapid phosphorylation of STAT3 and STAT6.
2093 23510983 However, while β-cells were protected against a range of cytotoxic insults during exposure to IL-13, treatment with IL-6 enhanced cytotoxicity and western blotting revealed that IL-13 induced one specific isoform of phospho-STAT6 preferentially.
2094 23510983 Upon incubation with both cytokines together, the isoform of STAT6 that was upregulated by IL-13 alone was again induced, and the effects of IL-6 on β-cell viability were attenuated.
2095 23510983 Overall, the results suggest that induction of specific isoforms of STAT family transcription factors may underlie the cytoprotective actions of IL-13, and they imply that selective targeting of specific STAT-mediated signaling components could provide a means to ameliorate the loss of β-cell viability in diabetes.
2096 23526220 Metformin enhances cisplatin cytotoxicity by suppressing signal transducer and activator of transcription-3 activity independently of the liver kinase B1-AMP-activated protein kinase pathway.
2097 23526220 Metformin has been used as first-line treatment in patients with type 2 diabetes, and is reported to reduce cancer risk and progression by activating the liver kinase B1 (LKB1)-AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathway.
2098 23526220 However, drug resistance often develops through several mechanisms during the treatment course, including one mechanism mediated by the activation of the IL-6/signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT)-3 pathway, related to the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS).
2099 23526220 LKB1-AMPK silencing by small, interfering RNA or mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibition by rapamycin or pp242 did not alter the effect of metformin on STAT3 activity suppression, suggesting that metformin can modulate the STAT3 pathway through an LKB1-AMPK-independent and probably mTOR-independent mechanism.
2100 23526220 Both mechanisms contributed to the ability of metformin to suppress STAT3 activation in cancer cells, which resulted in the decreased secretion of vascular endothelial growth factor by cancer cells.
2101 23526220 This is the first study to demonstrate that metformin suppresses STAT3 activation via LKB1-AMPK-mTOR-independent but ROS-related and autocrine IL-6 production-related pathways.
2102 23526220 Metformin enhances cisplatin cytotoxicity by suppressing signal transducer and activator of transcription-3 activity independently of the liver kinase B1-AMP-activated protein kinase pathway.
2103 23526220 Metformin has been used as first-line treatment in patients with type 2 diabetes, and is reported to reduce cancer risk and progression by activating the liver kinase B1 (LKB1)-AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathway.
2104 23526220 However, drug resistance often develops through several mechanisms during the treatment course, including one mechanism mediated by the activation of the IL-6/signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT)-3 pathway, related to the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS).

2126 23530005 Extracellular signal-regulated kinase in the ventromedial hypothalamus mediates leptin-induced glucose uptake in red-type skeletal muscle.
2127 23530005 We now show that signaling by extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and its upstream kinase MEK in the ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH) mediates the leptin-induced increase in glucose utilization as well as its insulin sensitivity in the whole body and in red-type skeletal muscle of mice through activation of the melanocortin receptor (MCR) in the VMH.
2128 23530005 In contrast, activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), but not the MEK-ERK pathway, in the VMH by leptin enhances the insulin-induced suppression of endogenous glucose production in an MCR-independent manner, with this effect of leptin occurring only in the presence of an increased plasma concentration of insulin.
2129 23530005 Given that leptin requires 6 h to increase muscle glucose uptake, the transient activation of the MEK-ERK pathway in the VMH by leptin may play a role in the induction of synaptic plasticity in the VMH, resulting in the enhancement of MCR signaling in the nucleus and leading to an increase in insulin sensitivity in red-type muscle.
2130 23533248 Their anticancer mechanisms of action, after binding to specific receptors on cancer cells, include targeting the rat sarcoma-bound GTP (RAS) (95% inhibition)-mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 1/2 (MEK 1/2) (98% inhibition)-extracellular signal-related kinase 1/2 (ERK 1/2) (96% inhibition) cascade in cancer cells.
2131 23533248 They also inhibit MAPK9, i.e. c-Jun N-terminal kinase 2.
2132 23533248 They are dual inhibitors of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its VEGFR2 receptor (up to 89%).
2133 23533248 One of the downstream targets of VEGF is β-catenin, which they reduce up to 88%.
2134 23533248 AKT, a serine/threonine protein kinase, is reduced up to 64% by the cardiac hormones.
2135 23533248 STAT3 is specifically decreased as they do not affect STAT1.
2136 23533248 There is a cross-talk between the RAS-MEK 1/2-ERK 1/2 kinase cascade, VEGF, β-catenin, WNT, JNK, and STAT pathways and each of these pathways is inhibited by the cardiac hormones.
2137 23533474 Quercetin Preserves β -Cell Mass and Function in Fructose-Induced Hyperinsulinemia through Modulating Pancreatic Akt/FoxO1 Activation.
2138 23533474 Quercetin was confirmed to reduce serum insulin and leptin levels and blockade islet hyperplasia in fructose-fed rats.
2139 23533474 It also prevented fructose-induced β -cell proliferation and insulin hypersecretion in INS-1 β -cells.
2140 23533474 Quercetin downregulated Akt and FoxO1 phosphorylation in fructose-fed rat islets and increased the nuclear FoxO1 levels in fructose-treated INS-1 β -cells.
2141 23533474 The elevated Akt phosphorylation in fructose-treated INS-1 β -cells was also restored by quercetin.
2142 23533474 Additionally, quercetin suppressed the expression of pancreatic and duodenal homeobox 1 (Pdx1) and insulin gene (Ins1 and Ins2) in vivo and in vitro.
2143 23533474 In fructose-treated INS-1 β -cells, quercetin elevated the reduced janus kinase 2/signal transducers and activators of transcription 3 (Jak2/Stat3) phosphorylation and suppressed the increased suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (Socs3) expression.
2144 23533474 These results demonstrate that quercetin protects β -cell mass and function under high-fructose induction through improving leptin signaling and preserving pancreatic Akt/FoxO1 activation.
2145 23593036 Functional IL6R 358Ala allele impairs classical IL-6 receptor signaling and influences risk of diverse inflammatory diseases.
2146 23593036 Although a common, non-synonymous variant in the IL-6 receptor gene (IL6R Asp358Ala; rs2228145 A>C) is associated with the risk of several common diseases, with the 358Ala allele conferring protection from coronary heart disease (CHD), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), atrial fibrillation (AF), abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), and increased susceptibility to asthma, the variant's effect on IL-6 signaling is not known.
2147 23593036 We demonstrate that, although 358Ala increases transcription of the soluble IL6R isoform (P = 8.3×10⁻²²) and not the membrane-bound isoform, 358Ala reduces surface expression of IL-6R on CD4+ T cells and monocytes (up to 28% reduction per allele; P≤5.6×10⁻²²).
2148 23593036 Importantly, reduced expression of membrane-bound IL-6R resulted in impaired IL-6 responsiveness, as measured by decreased phosphorylation of the transcription factors STAT3 and STAT1 following stimulation with IL-6 (P≤5.2×10⁻⁷).
2149 23593036 Our findings elucidate the regulation of IL-6 signaling by IL-6R, which is causally relevant to several complex diseases, identify mechanisms for new approaches to target the IL-6/IL-6R axis, and anticipate differences in treatment response to IL-6 therapies based on this common IL6R variant.
2150 23634778 Leptin, resistin and visfatin: the missing link between endocrine metabolic disorders and immunity.
2151 23634778 Additionally, adipose tissue-secreted hormones such as leptin, visfatin, resistin, apelin, omentin, sex steroids, and various growth factors are now regarded as a functional part of the endocrine system.
2152 23634778 In obese and diabetic conditions, leptin deficiency inhibited the Jak/Stat3/PI3K and insulin pathways.
2153 23641065 This kinase, which is part of two protein complexes termed mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1) and 2 (mTORC2), has a fundamental role in coordinating anabolic and catabolic processes in response to growth factors and nutrients.
2154 23641065 Here, we review the connections between mTORC1 and gene transcription by focusing on its impact in regulating the activation of specific transcription factors including including STAT3, SREBPs, PPARγ, PPARα, HIF1α, YY1–PGC1α and TFEB.
2155 23707791 Pharmacological activation of AMPK suppresses inflammatory response evoked by IL-6 signalling in mouse liver and in human hepatocytes.
2156 23707791 Interleukin-6 (IL-6) induces inflammatory signalling in liver, leading to impaired insulin action in hepatocytes.
2157 23707791 In this study, we demonstrate that pharmacological activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) represses IL-6-stimulated expression of proinflammatory markers serum amyloid A (Saa) as well as suppressor of cytokine signalling 3 (Socs3) in mouse liver.
2158 23707791 Further studies using the human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line HepG2 suggest that AMPK inhibits IL-6 signalling by repressing IL-6-stimulated phosphorylation of several downstream components of the pathway such as Janus kinase 1 (JAK1), SH2-domain containing protein tyrosine phosphatase 2 (SHP2) and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3).
2159 23707791 In summary, inhibition of IL-6 signalling cascade in liver by the metabolic master switch of the body, AMPK, supports the role of this kinase as a crucial point of convergence of metabolic and inflammatory pathways in hepatocytes.

2250 23878227 Functional ablation of Stat3 in T cells reduces DIO, improves insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance, and suppresses VAT inflammation.
2251 23878227 Importantly, Stat3 ablation reverses the high Th1/Treg ratio in VAT of DIO mice that is likely secondary to elevated IL-6 production, leading in turn to suppression of Tregs.
2252 23886751 These proteins included prohibitin 1, protein disulphide isomerase A3, beta actin, profilin, aldo-ketoreductase 1 C2, alpha crystallin B and the annexins A1, A5 and A6.
2253 23886751 Differences in the abundances of several proteins were confirmed by immunoblotting: i.e., prohibitin 1, protein disulphide isomerase A3, beta actin, profilin and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 proteins.
2254 23935514 The s908 mutation leads to a leucine to arginine substitution in the ectodomain of the hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) tyrosine kinase receptor, Met.
2255 23935514 Treatment with PI3K and STAT3 inhibitors, but not with MAPK inhibitors, phenocopies the donut pancreatic defect, further indicating that Met signals through migratory pathways during pancreas development.
2256 23951017 Here, we report that PTP1B deficiency ameliorates Dextran Sulfate Sodium (DSS)-induced murine experimental colitis via expanding CD11b(+)Gr-1(+) myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs).
2257 23951017 Second, PTP1B levels in BM leukocytes were significantly decreased after cells were induced into MDSCs by IL-6 and GM-CSF, and the MDSC induction occurred more rapidly in PTP1B-null mice than in wild-type littermates, suggesting PTP1B as a negative regulator of MDSCs.
2258 23951017 Third, the adoptive transfer of MDSCs into mice with DSS-colitis significantly attenuated colitis, which accompanies with a decreased serum IL-17 level.
2259 23951017 Finally, PTP1B deficiency increased the frequency of MDSCs from BM cells likely through enhancing the activities of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) and Janus kinase 2 (JAK2).
2260 23967267 Loss of the anorexic response to systemic 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide-1-β-D-ribofuranoside administration despite reducing hypothalamic AMP-activated protein kinase phosphorylation in insulin-deficient rats.
2261 23967267 This study tested whether chronic systemic administration of 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide-1-β-D-ribofuranoside (AICAR) could attenuate hyperphagia, reduce lean and fat mass losses, and improve whole-body energy homeostasis in insulin-deficient rats.
2262 23967267 Blood was collected for circulating leptin measurement and the hypothalami were extracted for the determination of suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3) content, as well as the content and phosphorylation of AMP-kinase (AMPK), acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC), and the signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3).
2263 23967267 In non-diabetic rats, despite reducing adiposity, AICAR increased (∼1.7-fold) circulating leptin and reduced hypothalamic SOCS3 content and food intake by 67% and 25%, respectively.
2264 23967267 The anorexic effect of AICAR was lost in diabetic rats, even though hypothalamic AMPK and ACC phosphorylation markedly decreased in these animals.
2265 23967267 Importantly, hypothalamic SOCS3 and STAT3 levels remained elevated and reduced, respectively, after treatment of insulin-deficient rats with AICAR.

2272 23975026 Thioredoxin-interacting protein regulates insulin transcription through microRNA-204.
2273 23975026 Here we show that TXNIP and diabetes induce beta-cell expression of a specific microRNA, miR-204, which in turn blocks insulin production by directly targeting and downregulating MAFA, a known insulin transcription factor.
2274 23975026 In particular, we first discovered the regulation of miR-204 by TXNIP by microarray analysis, followed by validation studies in INS-1 beta cells, islets of Txnip-deficient mice, diabetic mouse models and primary human islets.
2275 23975026 We then further found that TXNIP induces miR-204 by inhibiting the activity of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), a transcription factor that is involved in miR-204 regulation.
2276 23975026 We also identified MAFA as a target that is downregulated by miR-204.
2277 23975026 Taken together, our results demonstrate that TXNIP controls microRNA expression and insulin production and that miR-204 is involved in beta-cell function.
2278 23975026 The newly identified TXNIP-miR-204-MAFA-insulin pathway may contribute to diabetes progression and provides new insight into TXNIP function and microRNA biology in health and disease.
