ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha and AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) are known to stimulate and repress lipolysis in adipocytes, respectively; however, the mechanisms regulating these processes have not been completely elucidated.METHODS:
The key factors and mechanism of action of TNF-alpha and AMPK in lipolysis were investigated by evaluating perilipin expression and activity of protein kinase RNA-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK)/eukaryotic initiation factor 2 alpha (eIF2alpha) by Western blot and an immunofluorescence assay in 24-hour TNF-alpha-treated 3T3-L1 adipocytes with artificial manipulation of AMPK activation.RESULTS:
Enhancement of AMPK activity by the addition of activator minoimidazole carboxamide ribonucleotide (AICAR) suppressed TNF-alpha-induced lipolysis, whereas the addition of compound C, an inhibitor of AMPK phosphorylation, enhanced lipolysis. Perilipin, a lipid droplet-associated protein, was decreased by TNF-alpha and recovered following treatment with AICAR, showing a correlation with the antilipolytic effect of AICAR. Significant activation of PERK/eIF2alpha, a component of the unfolded protein response signaling pathway, was observed in TNF-alpha or vesicle-treated 3T3-L1 adipocytes. The antilipolytic effect and recovery of perilipin expression by AICAR in TNF-alpha-treated 3T3-L1 adipocytes were significantly diminished by treatment with 2-aminopurine, a specific inhibitor of eIF2alpha.CONCLUSION:
These data indicated that AICAR-induced AMPK activation attenuates TNF-alpha-induced lipolysis via preservation of perilipin in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. In addition, PERK/eIF2alpha activity is a novel mechanism of the anti-lipolytic effect of AICAR.
