104 17202326 Augmented lipopolysaccharide-induced TNF-alpha production by peritoneal macrophages in type 2 diabetic mice is dependent on elevated glucose and requires p38 MAPK.
105 17202326 In this study, we show that augmented LPS-induced TNF-alpha production by resident peritoneal macrophages (PerMphi) in type 2 diabetic (db/db) mice is dependent on elevated glucose and requires p38 MAPK.
106 17202326 Examination of the TLR-4/MD2 complex and CD14 expression showed no difference between db/db and db/+ PerMphi.
107 17202326 LPS-dependent stimulation of PI3K activity, ERK1/2 activation, and p38 kinase activity was greater in PerMphi from db/db mice as compared with db/+ mice.
108 17202326 Only inhibition of p38 kinase blocked LPS-induced TNF-alpha production in PerMphi from db/db mice.
109 17202326 Taken together, these data indicate that augmented TNF-alpha production induced by LPS in macrophages during diabetes is due to hyperglycemia and increased LPS-dependent activation of p38 kinase.

121 17702846 We have used U937 cells stably transfected to express luciferase under the control of NF-kappaB to examine if adiponectin may modulate NF-kappaB activity.
122 17702846 Physiological concentrations of native adiponectin induced NF-kappaB activity.
123 17702846 This effect was relatively strong compared with proinflammatory adipokines like leptin, resistin, and IL-6.
124 17702846 The enhanced NF-kappaB activity was attributed to the high molecular weight adiponectin isoforms.
125 17702846 NF-kappaB was not activated by mutated adiponectin that is unable to form high molecular weight complexes.
126 17702846 Furthermore, the C-terminal fragment, globular adiponectin, markedly increased NF-kappaB reporter activity, cytokine release, and mRNA expression of inflammation marker genes, at higher levels than stimulation with TNF-alpha and lipopolysaccharide.
127 17702846 NF-kappaB activation by globular adiponectin was not affected by antibody inhibition of toll-like receptor 4 or TNF receptors 1 and 2 but was attenuated by inhibitors of p38 MAPK, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, and protein kinase C.
128 17702846 Analyses of the p65 subunit of NF-kappaB in different leukocyte cell lines showed activation of two monocytic cell lines (U937 and THP-1) by native and globular adiponectin.
129 17707128 The development of autoimmune diabetes was markedly inhibited in Tlr2(-/-) mice but not in Tlr4(-/-) mice, showing that TLR2 plays an important role in the initiation of the disease.

133 17916553 Here, we show that FFAs can cause activation of RAW264.7 cells primarily via the JNK signaling cascade and that TLR2 and TLR4 are upstream of JNK and help transduce FFA proinflammatory signals.
134 17916553 In addition, we found that CD11c expression is increased in skeletal muscle of high fat diet-fed mice and that conditioned medium from FFA-treated wild type BMDCs, but not TLR2/4 DKO BMDCs, can induce insulin resistance in L6 myotubes.
135 17916553 Together our results show that FFAs can activate CD11c(+) myeloid proinflammatory cells via TLR2/4 and JNK signaling pathways, thereby promoting inflammation and subsequent cellular insulin resistance.
136 17982052 The TLR4- and MyD88-dependent pathways are required for LPS to shorten allograft survival, whereas polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid mediates its effects through a TLR3-independent pathway.
137 17991878 RNA profiling of lipopolysaccharide-stimulated human MPhi identified CXC chemokine ligands (CXCLs), such as IP-10 (interferon [IFN]-inducible protein 10) (CXCL10), I-TAC (IFN-inducible T-cell alpha chemoattractant) (CXCL11), and Mig (monokine induced by IFN-gamma) (CXCL9), T-lymphocyte chemoattractants associated with atherogenesis, among the top 14 transcripts suppressed by adiponectin.
138 17991878 Adiponectin reduced the release by lipopolysaccharide-stimulated MPhi of chemoattractant activity for CXC chemokine receptor 3-transfected (receptor for IP-10, Mig, and I-TAC) lymphocytes.
139 17991878 Adiponectin decreased lipopolysaccharide-inducible IP-10 promoter activity in promoter-transfected THP-1 MPhi but did not change IP-10 mRNA stability.
140 17991878 In lipopolysaccharide-stimulated MPhi, reduction of IFN-beta by adiponectin preceded inhibition of IP-10 mRNA expression.
141 17991878 Immunoblot and chromatin immunoprecipitation analyses demonstrated that adiponectin attenuated activation of the transcription factor IFN regulatory factor 3, involved in the MyD88-independent pathway of Toll-like receptor 4 signaling, and subsequent IFN regulatory factor 3 binding to IFN-beta promoter.
142 17991878 In vivo studies further demonstrated that apolipoprotein E/adiponectin double-deficient (apoE-/-APN-/-) mice had increased plasma IP-10 levels, accelerated T-lymphocyte accumulation in atheromata, and augmented atherogenesis compared with apoE single-deficient (apoE-/-APN+/+) mice.
143 18029440 We separately overexpressed the p65 subunit of NF-kappaB and IkappaBKbeta in single muscles of rats using in vivo electrotransfer and compared the effects after 1 wk vs. paired contralateral control muscles.
144 18029440 Interestingly, p65 overexpression resulted in a negative feedback reduction of 36% in Toll-like receptor (TLR)-2 (P = 0.03) but not TLR-4 mRNA.

147 18633101 We examined whether insulin-resistant subjects have abnormal TLR4 expression and TLR4-driven (IkappaB/NFkappaB) signaling in skeletal muscle.
148 18633101 TLR4 muscle protein content correlated with the severity of insulin resistance.
149 18633101 The increase in TLR4 and NFkappaB signaling was accompanied by elevated expression of the NFkappaB-regulated genes interleukin (IL)-6 and superoxide dismutase (SOD)2.
150 18633101 Increased TLR4 content and gene expression observed in muscle from insulin-resistant subjects were reproduced by treating myotubes from lean, normal-glucose-tolerant subjects with palmitate.
151 18633101 Palmitate also increased IL-6 and SOD2 gene expression, and this effect was prevented by inhibiting NFkappaB.

232 19595807 Interestingly, in TLRs 1, 2 and 4, which bind lipid ligands using very different interactions from TLR3, the ligands nevertheless promote the formation of a dimer in which the same two lateral surfaces as in the TLR3-ECD:dsRNA complex face each other, bringing their C-termini in close proximity.
233 19819943 Free fatty acids induce a proinflammatory response in islets via the abundantly expressed interleukin-1 receptor I.
234 19819943 IL-1beta is a master regulator of inflammation, and IL-1 receptor type I (IL-1RI) blockage improves glycemia and insulin secretion in humans with T2DM and in high-fat-fed mice pointing to a pivotal role of IL-1RI activity in intra-islet inflammation.

237 19917698 Activation of TLRs, particularly TLR2 and TLR4, promotes chronic systemic inflammation.
238 19917698 However, recent work showed that an increased percentage of circulating B cells from inflammatory disease patients express TLR2 and TLR4, and that TLR engagement on B cells resulted in unexpected changes in gene expression.
239 19917698 Some cytokines (IL-1beta and IL-10) are predominantly regulated by TLR4, but others (IL-8 and TNF-alpha) are predominantly regulated by TLR2, due in part to TLR-dictated changes in transcription factor/promoter association.

245 20007708 Adipocyte-mononuclear cell interaction, Toll-like receptor 4 activation, and high glucose synergistically up-regulate osteopontin expression via an interleukin 6-mediated mechanism.
246 20007708 Although it has been reported that osteopontin, a matrix glycoprotein and proinflammatory cytokine, mediates obesity-induced adipose tissue macrophage infiltration and insulin resistance, it remains unclear how osteopontin is up-regulated in adipose tissue in obese humans and animals.
247 20007708 Moreover, lipopolysaccharide or palmitic acid-induced TLR4 activation and high glucose further augmented the coculture-stimulated osteopontin secretion.
248 20007708 In our studies to explore the underlying mechanism, we found that the neutralizing antibodies against interleukin (IL)-6 or IL-6 small interfering RNA transfection in adipocytes effectively inhibited coculture-stimulated osteopontin expression, suggesting that IL-6 released by adipocytes plays an essential role in the coculture-stimulated osteopontin expression by U937 cells.
249 20007708 In conclusion, this study has demonstrated that cell interaction, TLR4 activation, and high glucose up-regulate osteopontin expression, and adipocyte-derived IL-6 played a major role in the up-regulation.

261 20124731 Treatment with an HMGB1-specific antibody prevented the early islet graft loss and inhibited IFN-gamma production by NKT cells and Gr-1(+)CD11b(+) cells.
262 20124731 Moreover, mice lacking either of the known HMGB1 receptors TLR2 or receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE), but not the known HMGB1 receptor TLR4, failed to exhibit early islet graft loss.
263 20124731 Mechanistically, HMGB1 stimulated hepatic mononuclear cells (MNCs) in vivo and in vitro; in particular, it upregulated CD40 expression and enhanced IL-12 production by DCs, leading to NKT cell activation and subsequent NKT cell-dependent augmented IFN-gamma production by Gr-1(+)CD11b(+) cells.
264 20124731 Thus, treatment with either IL-12- or CD40L-specific antibody prevented the early islet graft loss.

290 20179247 Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), a protein integral to innate immunity, is elevated in skeletal muscle of obese and type 2 diabetic humans and has been implicated in the development of lipid-induced insulin resistance.
291 20179247 The purpose of this study was to examine the role of TLR4 as a modulator of basal (non-insulin-stimulated) substrate metabolism in skeletal muscle with the hypothesis that its activation would result in reduced fatty acid oxidation and increased partitioning of fatty acids toward neutral lipid storage.

294 20483368 We performed copy number analysis of TLR2, TLR4, and the beta-defensin cluster (DEFB4, DEFB103 and DEFB104) by gene-specific, real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in 376 CD patients and 376 controls.
295 20674989 TLR4 is expressed in pancreatic β-cells of rodents and humans and its stimulation affects insulin secretion in response to glucose.
296 20725710 We also found that TLR4 activation induced a higher frequency of IL-1β expressing monocytes and a reduction in the percentage of IL-6 expressing myeloid dendritic cells (mDCs).
297 20725710 The altered TLR responsiveness was not due to aberrant proportions of peripheral DC subsets and monocytes in the blood and did not correlate with altered hemoglobin A1c and the expression of diabetes susceptibility genes but could potentially be associated with enhanced nuclear factor-kappa B signaling.

337 21088297 This study investigates the role of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPAR γ) and lanthionine synthetase C-like 2 (LANCL2) as molecular targets for ABA.
338 21088297 LANCL2 knockdown studies provide evidence that ABA-mediated activation of macrophage PPAR γ is dependent on lancl2 expression.
339 21088297 ABA suppresses LPS-induced prostaglandin E(2) and MCP-1 production via a PPAR γ-dependent mechanism possibly involving activation of PPAR γ and suppression of NF-κB and nuclear factor of activated T cells.
340 21088297 LPS challenge studies in PPAR γ-expressing and immune cell-specific PPAR γ null mice demonstrate that ABA down-regulates toll-like receptor 4 expression in macrophages and T cells in vivo through a PPAR γ-dependent mechanism.
341 21088297 In conclusion, ABA decreases LPS-mediated inflammation and regulates innate immune responses through a bifurcating pathway involving LANCL2 and an alternative, ligand-binding domain-independent mechanism of PPAR γ activation.

374 21558879 DPP-4 (CD26) inhibitor alogliptin inhibits atherosclerosis in diabetic apolipoprotein E-deficient mice.
375 21558879 In this study, nondiabetic and diabetic apolipoprotein E-deficient mice were treated with DPP-4 inhibitor alogliptin for 24 weeks, and atherosclerotic lesions in aortic origins were examined.
376 21558879 Furthermore, immunohistochemistry study showed that diabetes increased interleukin-6 (IL-6) and IL-1β protein expression in atherosclerotic plaques, but alogliptin treatment attenuated diabetes-augmented IL-6 and IL-1β expression.
377 21558879 In consistence with the observations from the mouse models, our in vitro studies showed that alogliptin-inhibited toll-like receptor 4 (TLR-4)-mediated upregulation of IL-6, IL-1β, and other proinflammatory cytokines by mononuclear cells.
378 21560483 Increasing numbers of endogenous danger signals of host origin are being identified including, for example, uric acid and cholesterol crystals, high mobility group box1 (HMGB1) protein, oxidized LDL, vesicans, heat shock proteins (HSPs) and self DNA.
379 21560483 Moreover, some PRRs (e.g., TLR2,TLR4 and NLRP3) and atypical PRRs can recognize both PAMPs and DAMPs, either as single entities or after forming complexes (e.g., immune complexes, or DNA- HMGB1 and DNA-LL37 complexes), so there must be a mechanism to selectively depress or alleviate the inflammatory response to DAMPs, while leaving that of PAMPs intact.
380 21560483 For example, CD24 reacting with HMGB1 and HSPs has been implicated to function as negative regulator for RAGE.
381 21565193 Inroads into the understanding of the relationship between metabolic pathways and inflammation are indicating that signaling by innate immune receptors such as TLR4 and Nlrp3 regulate metabolism.
382 21565193 TLRs have been shown to promote glycolysis, whilst Nlrp3-mediated production of IL-1β causes insulin resistance.

384 21700474 PPARγ agonist rosiglitazone ameliorates LPS-induced inflammation in vascular smooth muscle cells via the TLR4/TRIF/IRF3/IP-10 signaling pathway.
385 21700474 The current study demonstrated that rosiglitazone exerted a potent anti-inflammatory action via decreasing interleukin-18 (IL-18), tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1), TLR4 and increasing PPARγ in LPS-induced VSMCs.

400 21813778 IL-1 blockade attenuates islet amyloid polypeptide-induced proinflammatory cytokine release and pancreatic islet graft dysfunction.
401 21813778 We sought to determine whether human islet amyloid polypeptide (hIAPP), the main component of islet amyloid, might contribute to islet inflammation by recruiting and activating macrophages.
402 21813778 Early aggregates of hIAPP, but not nonamyloidogenic rodent islet amyloid polypeptide, caused release of CCL2 and CXCL1 by islets and induced secretion of TNF-α, IL-1α, IL-1β, CCL2, CCL3, CXCL1, CXCL2, and CXCL10 by C57BL/6 bone marrow-derived macrophages. hIAPP-induced TNF-α secretion was markedly diminished in MyD88-, but not TLR2- or TLR4-deficient macrophages, and in cells treated with the IL-1R antagonist (IL-1Ra) anakinra.
403 21813778 Our results suggest that hIAPP-induced islet chemokine secretion promotes macrophage recruitment and that IL-1R/MyD88, but not TLR2 or TLR4 signaling is required for maximal macrophage responsiveness to prefibrillar hIAPP.

408 21847775 Proinflammatory CD14+CD16+ monocytes are associated with microinflammation in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and diabetic nephropathy uremia.
409 21847775 In this study, we investigated the expression of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and CD14(+)CD16(+) monocytes in patients with T2DM and DN patients with uremia and TLR4 response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and to further explore the potential effects of inflammatory immune response in T2DM and DN uremia.
410 21847775 Thirty DN patients with uremia, 28 T2DM patients, and 20 healthy volunteers were enrolled for the determination of CD14(+)CD16(+) fluorescence intensity and TLR4 expression on monocytes by using peripheral blood flow cytometry.
411 21847775 Compared to normal control, T2DM patients and DN uremic patients had a significantly higher CD14(+)CD16(+) fluorescence intensity, TLR4 expression, serum IL-6 and CRP level, whilst these biomarkers were more upregulated in DN uremic patients than in T2DM patients.
412 21847775 Our results suggest that the disturbance in proinflammatory CD14(+)CD16(+) monocytes occurs in T2DM and DN uremic patients.
413 21847775 Such immunological dysfunction may be related to the activation of TLR4/NF-κB and STAT5 signaling pathways underlying the immune abnormalities of CD14(+)CD16(+) monocytes.

427 21847775 In this study, we investigated the expression of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and CD14(+)CD16(+) monocytes in patients with T2DM and DN patients with uremia and TLR4 response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and to further explore the potential effects of inflammatory immune response in T2DM and DN uremia.
428 21847775 Thirty DN patients with uremia, 28 T2DM patients, and 20 healthy volunteers were enrolled for the determination of CD14(+)CD16(+) fluorescence intensity and TLR4 expression on monocytes by using peripheral blood flow cytometry.
429 21847775 Compared to normal control, T2DM patients and DN uremic patients had a significantly higher CD14(+)CD16(+) fluorescence intensity, TLR4 expression, serum IL-6 and CRP level, whilst these biomarkers were more upregulated in DN uremic patients than in T2DM patients.
430 21847775 Our results suggest that the disturbance in proinflammatory CD14(+)CD16(+) monocytes occurs in T2DM and DN uremic patients.
431 21847775 Such immunological dysfunction may be related to the activation of TLR4/NF-κB and STAT5 signaling pathways underlying the immune abnormalities of CD14(+)CD16(+) monocytes.
432 21984919 Compared with the healthy control mice, diabetic mice had significantly fewer c-kit+ stem cells, and these cells had a lower potency of endothelial differentiation; however, the production of the angiogenic growth factor VEGF did not differ between groups.
433 21984919 A pathway-focused array showed that the c-kit+ stem cells from diabetic mice had up-regulated expression levels of many inflammatory factors, including Tlr4, Cxcl9, Il9, Tgfb1, Il4, and Tnfsf5, but no obvious change in the expression levels of cell cycle molecules.
434 21984919 Interestingly, diabetes-related alterations of the extracellular matrix and adhesion molecules were varied; Pecam, Mmp10, Lamc1, Itgb7, Mmp9, and Timp4 were up-regulated, but Col11a1, Fn1, Admts2, and Itgav were down-regulated.

439 22021706 Silencing of TLR4 with small interfering RNA attenuated high glucose-induced IκB/NF-κB activation, inhibited the downstream synthesis of IL-6 and CCL-2, and impaired the ability of conditioned media from high glucose-treated proximal tubule cells to induce transmigration of mononuclear cells.
440 22021706 Finally, streptozotocin-induced diabetic and uninephrectomized TLR4-deficient mice had significantly less albuminuria, renal dysfunction, renal cortical NF-κB activation, tubular CCL-2 expression, and interstitial macrophage infiltration than wild-type animals.

471 22074948 Mouse resistin modulates adipogenesis and glucose uptake in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes through the ROR1 receptor.
472 22074948 Mouse resistin, a cysteine-rich protein primarily secreted from mature adipocytes, is involved in insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.
473 22074948 Human resistin, however, is mainly secreted by immune mononuclear cells, and it competes with lipopolysaccharide for the binding to Toll-like receptor 4, which could mediate some of the well-known proinflammatory effects of resistin in humans.
474 22074948 Thus, a recent work identifies an isoform of Decorin (Δ Decorin) as a functional resistin receptor in adipocyte progenitors that may regulate white adipose tissue expansion.
475 22074948 We have demonstrated an interaction of mouse resistin with specific domains of the extracellular region of the ROR1 receptor.
476 22074948 This interaction results in the inhibition of ROR1 phosphorylation, modulates ERK1/2 phosphorylation, and regulates suppressor of cytokine signaling 3, glucose transporter 4, and glucose transporter 1 expression.
477 22074948 Moreover, mouse resistin modulates glucose uptake and promotes adipogenesis of 3T3-L1 cells through ROR1.
478 22074948 In summary, our results identify mouse resistin as a potential inhibitory ligand for the receptor ROR1 and demonstrate, for the first time, that ROR1 plays an important role in adipogenesis and glucose homeostasis in 3T3-L1 cells.
479 22074948 These data open a new line of research that could explain important questions about the resistin mechanism of action in adipogenesis and in the development of insulin resistance.
480 22095980 S100A8 and S100A9 in cardiovascular biology and disease.
481 22095980 There is recent and widespread interest in the damage-associated molecular pattern molecules S100A8 and S100A9 in cardiovascular science.
482 22095980 For example, S100A8 and S100A9 (S100A8/A9) have both intracellular and extracellular actions, they are abundantly expressed in inflammatory and autoimmune states, primarily by myeloid cells but also by other vascular cells, and they modulate inflammatory processes, in part through Toll-like receptor 4 and the receptor for advanced glycation end products.
483 22095980 Furthermore, increased plasma levels of S100A8/A9 predict cardiovascular events in humans, and deletion of these proteins partly protects Apoe(-)(/)(-) mice from atherosclerosis.
484 22095980 Understanding the roles of S100A8 and S100A9 in vascular cell types and the mechanisms whereby these proteins mediate their biological effects may offer new therapeutic strategies to prevent, treat, and predict cardiovascular diseases.
485 22253759 It has been proposed that signaling through TLR4, which requires CD14 to recognize bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS), may generate low-grade inflammation and thereby affect insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism.

496 22367599 Toll-like receptor (TLR) ligands (TLR2: peptidoglycan, PGN; TLR4: lipopolysaccharide, LPS; TLR5: flagellin, FLG) were used to stimulate alveolar macrophages (AMs), and TNF-α production was measured.
497 22367599 Under hyperglycemic conditions and PGN or FLG stimulation, TNF-α production from AMs was significantly reduced in group B compared with group A.
498 22396206 Here, we show that a Toll-like receptor (TLR) protein, radioprotective 105 (RP105)/myeloid differentiation protein (MD)-1 complex, contributes to high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity, adipose tissue inflammation, and insulin resistance.
499 22396206 The RP105/MD-1 complex was expressed by most adipose tissue macrophages (ATMs).
500 22396206 An HFD increased RP105/MD-1 expression on the M1 subset of ATMs that accumulate in eWAT.
501 22396206 RP105 knockout (KO) and MD-1 KO mice had less HFD-induced adipose tissue inflammation, hepatic steatosis, and insulin resistance compared with wild-type (WT) and TLR4 KO mice.
502 22396206 Finally, the saturated fatty acids, palmitic and stearic acids, are endogenous ligands for TLR4, but they did not activate RP105/MD-1.
503 22396206 Thus, the RP105/MD-1 complex is a major mediator of adipose tissue inflammation independent of TLR4 signaling and may represent a novel therapeutic target for obesity-associated metabolic disorders.

516 22426798 OBDM patients with or without anemia had higher levels of ferritin and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein than the Cn group. mRNA relative abundance of nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells was elevated in OBDM with anemia, and mRNA expression of interleukin-6 and toll-like receptor (TLR) 2 was increased in OBDM group in basal high Fe and high glucose concentrations.
517 22426798 The expression of tumor necrosis factor alpha and TLR-4 was increased in OBDM with anemia in all experimental conditions.
518 22427667 The induction of the endoplasmic reticulum resident chaperones, GRP94 and GRP78, by LPS was of a much lower magnitude than the effect of LPS on TLR4 and MD-2 expression.
519 22427667 In face of this apparent insufficiency of chaperone expression, we induced the expression of GRP94 and GRP78 by glucose deprivation.
520 22427667 The inhibition of either GRP94 or GRP78 with siRNA was sufficient to rescue the protective effect of glucose deprivation on LPS-induced endoplasmic reticulum stress.

557 22473609 Oxidative burst, myeloperoxidase (MPO) release, expression of pathogen recognition receptors (TLR2, TLR4, and CD14), and activation markers (CD11b and HLA-DR) were measured on polymorphonuclear (PMN) leukocytes and monocytes.
558 22473609 Concentrations of plasma inflammatory cytokine (interleukin-6 [IL-6], IL-12p70, tumor necrosis factor alpha [TNF-α], monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 [MCP-1], IL-8, IL-1β, and IL-10) were also determined.
559 22473609 Differences were also observed in expression of Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2), CD14, and CD11b on phagocytes from T2D and ND individuals.
560 22473609 Levels of IL-12p70, MCP-1, and IL-8 were significantly elevated in blood from PC-T2D subjects compared to ND individuals.
561 22522614 Obese rodents were treated by intracerebroventricular injections, with immunoneutralizing antibodies against Toll-like receptor (TLR)4 or tumor necrosis factor (TNF)α, and insulin signal transduction, hepatic steatosis, and gluconeogenesis were evaluated.
562 22522614 The inhibition of either TLR4 or TNFα reduced hypothalamic inflammation, which was accompanied by the reduction of hypothalamic resistance to leptin and improved insulin signal transduction in the liver.
563 22645244 Recently, the LPS receptor, TLR4, has been shown to down-regulate miR-107 in macrophages.
564 22645244 In addition, miR-107 has been demonstrated to be dysregulated in murine and rodent models of obesity and insulin resistance, respectively, with miR-107 contributing to both conditions.
565 22645244 With obesity and inflammation being so intrinsically associated, the link between the miR-107 expression levels, inflammation, and insulin resistance may be of particular importance in metabolic diseases.
566 22645244 The decrease in miR-107 in response to TLR4 may be an attempt to limit insulin resistance, a feature of obesity-related inflammation.

571 22734110 In addition to proteins, a number of diabetic substrates including high glucose per se, advanced glycation end-products and their carbonyl intermediates, angiotensin II, and ultrafiltered growth factors activate a number of signaling pathways including nuclear factor kappa B, protein kinase C, extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2, p38, signal transducer and activator of transcription-1 and the generation of reactive oxygen species, to culminate in tubular cell hypertrophy and the accumulation in the interstitium of a repertoire of chemokines, cytokines, growth factors and adhesion molecules capable of orchestrating further inflammation and fibrosis.

630 22961082 However, the resistin receptor and the molecular mechanisms mediating its effects in the hypothalamus, crucial for energy homeostasis control, and key insulin-sensitive tissues are still unknown.
631 22961082 In the current study, we report that chronic resistin infusion in the lateral cerebral ventricle of normal rats markedly affects both hypothalamic and peripheral insulin responsiveness.
632 22961082 Central resistin treatment inhibited insulin-dependent phosphorylation of insulin receptor (IR), AKT, and extracellular signal-related kinase 1/2 associated with reduced IR expression and with upregulation of suppressor of cytokine signaling-3 and phosphotyrosine phosphatase 1B, two negative regulators of insulin signaling.

642 23011593 Receptor for advanced glycation end products regulates adipocyte hypertrophy and insulin sensitivity in mice: involvement of Toll-like receptor 2.
643 23011593 Furthermore, double knockdown of high mobility group box-1 and S100b, both of which are RAGE ligands endogenously expressed in 3T3-L1 cells, also canceled RAGE-medicated adipocyte hypertrophy, implicating a fundamental role of ligands-RAGE ligation.
644 23011593 Adipocyte hypertrophy induced by RAGE overexpression is associated with suppression of glucose transporter type 4 and adiponectin mRNA expression, attenuated insulin-stimulated glucose uptake, and insulin-stimulated signaling.
645 23011593 Toll-like receptor (Tlr)2 mRNA, but not Tlr4 mRNA, is rapidly upregulated by RAGE overexpression, and inhibition of Tlr2 almost completely abrogates RAGE-mediated adipocyte hypertrophy.
646 23011593 Finally, RAGE(-/-) mice exhibited significantly less body weight, epididymal fat weight, epididymal adipocyte size, higher serum adiponectin levels, and higher insulin sensitivity than wild-type mice.
647 23011593 Thus, RAGE appears to be involved in mouse adipocyte hypertrophy and insulin sensitivity, whereas Tlr2 regulation may partly play a role.

782 23382179 Nuclear localization leucine-rich-repeat protein 1 (NLRP1) is a key regulator of the innate immune system, particularly in the skin where, in response to molecular triggers such as pathogen-associated or damage-associated molecular patterns, the NLRP1 inflammasome promotes caspase-1-dependent processing of bioactive interleukin-1β (IL-1β), resulting in IL-1β secretion and downstream inflammatory responses.
783 23382179 Functionally, we found that peripheral blood monocytes from healthy subjects homozygous for the predominant high-risk haplotype 2A processed significantly greater (P < 0.0001) amounts of the IL-1β precursor to mature bioactive IL-1β under basal (resting) conditions and in response to Toll-like receptor (TLR) agonists (TLR2 and TLR4) compared with monocytes from subjects homozygous for the reference haplotype 1.

788 23390498 In conclusion, empagliflozin reduces HG induced inflammatory and fibrotic markers by blocking glucose transport and did not induce a compensatory increase in SGLT1/GLUT2 expression.

790 23423259 Here we explored whether the TLR4 antagonist, CRX-526, has therapeutic potential to attenuate renal injuries and slow the progression of advanced diabetic nephropathy in wild-type and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) knockout mice.

802 23426369 The enzyme acyl-CoA synthetase 1 (ACSL1) is induced by peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα) and PPARγ in insulin target tissues, such as skeletal muscle and adipose tissue, and plays an important role in β-oxidation in these tissues.
803 23426369 LPS, Gram-negative bacteria, IFN-γ, and TNFα all induce ACSL1 expression in macrophages, whereas PPAR agonists do not.
804 23426369 LPS-induced ACSL1 expression is dependent on Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and its adaptor protein TRIF (Toll-like receptor adaptor molecule 1) but does not require the MyD88 (myeloid differentiation primary response gene 88) arm of TLR4 signaling; nor does it require STAT1 (signal transducer and activator of transcription 1) for maximal induction.
805 23426369 Thus, the regulation and biological function of ACSL1 in macrophages differ markedly from that in insulin target tissues.
806 23436141 Here we review some of the most promising drugs and agents that have the potential to attenuate TLR-mediated inflammation, e.g., anti-LPS strategies that aim to neutralize LPS (synthetic anti-LPS peptides and recombinant factor C) and TLR4/MyD88 antagonists, including eritoran, CyP, EM-163, epigallocatechin-3-gallate, 6-shogaol, cinnamon extract, N-acetylcysteine, melatonin, and molecular hydrogen.

924 23766559 Carrageenan-induced colonic inflammation is reduced in Bcl10 null mice and increased in IL-10-deficient mice.

996 23921144 Besides IL-6, PA amplified the stimulatory effect of LPS on a large amount of Toll-like receptor (TLR)4-mediated expression of proinflammatory signaling molecules such as IL-1 receptor-associated kinase-like 2 and proinflammatory molecules, including monocyte chemotactic protein-1 and colony-stimulating factor.
997 23921144 We also observed that PA augmented TLR4 but not TLR2 signal, and the augmentation was mediated by nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) pathways.
998 23921144 To further elucidate the regulatory mechanism whereby PA amplifies LPS signal, our studies showed that PA and LPS synergistically increased hydrolysis of sphingomyelin by stimulating acid sphingomyelinase (ASMase) activity, which contributed to a marked increase in ceramide production and IL-6 upregulation.

1015 23985305 The results from biological characteristics, glucose tolerance test, insulin tolerance test, and insulin release test showed that the function of pancreatic islet was impaired in HF-fed TLR4 WT mice, but was protected in HF-fed TLR4 deficient (TLR4(-/-)) mice.
1016 23985305 By electron microscope detection, we observed that beta cell insulin secretory vesicles increased in HF-fed TLR4 WT mice.
1017 23985305 Then, glucose-stimulated insulin secretion assay by using primary pancreatic islet showed that the secretion function of pancreatic islet in HF-fed TLR4(-/-) mice was better than that in HF-fed TLR4 WT mice.
1018 23985305 Furthermore, in HF-fed TLR4(-/-) mice, the mRNA levels of IL-6, TNF-α, and MCP-1 genes in pancreatic islet were significantly lower than those in HF-fed TLR4 WT mice.
1019 23990363 Activating transcription factor 4 links metabolic stress to interleukin-6 expression in macrophages.
1020 23990363 Haploinsufficiency and short hairpin RNA-based knockdown of ATF4 in macrophages markedly inhibited SFA- and metabolic stress-induced Il6 expression.
1021 23990363 Conversely, pharmacological activation of the ATF4 pathway and overexpression of ATF4 resulted in enhanced Il6 expression.
1022 23990363 Moreover, ATF4 acts in synergy with the Toll-like receptor-4 signaling pathway, which is known to be activated by SFAs.
1023 23990363 At a molecular level, we found that ATF4 exerts its proinflammatory effects through at least two different mechanisms: ATF4 is involved in SFA-induced nuclear factor-κB activation; and ATF4 directly activates the Il6 promoter.
1024 23990363 These findings provide evidence suggesting that ATF4 links metabolic stress and Il6 expression in macrophages.
