Glucolipotoxicity of the pancreatic beta cell Poitout V; Amyot J; Semache M; Zarrouki B; Hagman D; Fontes GBiochim Biophys Acta 2010[Mar]; 1801 (3): 289-98The concept of glucolipotoxicity refers to the combined, deleterious effects of elevated glucose and fatty acid levels on pancreatic beta-cell function and survival. Significant progress has been made in recent years towards a better understanding of the cellular and molecular basis of glucolipotoxicity in the beta cell. The permissive effect of elevated glucose on the detrimental actions of fatty acids stems from the influence of glucose on intracellular fatty acid metabolism, promoting the synthesis of cellular lipids. The combination of excessive levels of fatty acids and glucose therefore leads to decreased insulin secretion, impaired insulin gene expression, and beta-cell death by apoptosis, all of which probably have distinct underlying mechanisms. Recent studies from our laboratory have identified several pathways implicated in fatty acid inhibition of insulin gene expression, including the extracellular-regulated kinase (ERK1/2) pathway, the metabolic sensor Per-Arnt-Sim kinase (PASK), and the ATF6 branch of the unfolded protein response. We have also confirmed in vivo in rats that the decrease in insulin gene expression is an early defect which precedes any detectable abnormality in insulin secretion. While the role of glucolipotoxicity in humans is still debated, the inhibitory effects of chronically elevated fatty acid levels has been clearly demonstrated in several studies, at least in individuals genetically predisposed to developing type 2 diabetes. It is therefore likely that glucolipotoxicity contributes to beta-cell failure in type 2 diabetes as well as to the decline in beta-cell function observed after the onset of the disease.|Animals[MESH]|Fatty Acids/*metabolism[MESH]|Female[MESH]|Glucose/*metabolism[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Insulin Resistance[MESH]|Insulin-Secreting Cells/*metabolism[MESH]|Lipid Metabolism Disorders/*metabolism[MESH]|Male[MESH]|Obesity/metabolism[MESH] |
