Abstract

It has been intensively studied that inflammation contributes to the insulin resistance development in obesity-induced type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). In this study, we assessed the effect of karyopherin β1 (KPNβ1) in hepatic insulin resistance and the underlying mechanisms using high-fat diet (HFD) fed mice and palmitate (PA)-stimulated hepatocytes (HepG2). KPNβ1 expression is increased in the HFD fed mice liver. PA upregulated KPNβ1 expression in HepG2 cells in a time-dependent manner. PA also increased pro-inflammatory cytokines expression, including tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), interleukin 6 (IL-6), and interleukin 1β (IL-1β). KPNβ1 knockdown reversed PA-induced pro-inflammatory cytokines expression and insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in HepG2 cells. In addition, KPNβ1 knockdown reduced intracellular lipid accumulation. Mechanistically, KPNβ1 transports nuclear factor kB (NF-κB) p65 from the cytoplasm to the nucleus to increase pro-inflammatory genes expression. In summary, KPNβ1 acts as a positive regulator in the NF-κB pathway to enhance palmitate-induced inflammation response and insulin resistance in HepG2 cells.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 11 October 2015.
All research outputs
#20,294,248
of 22,830,751 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Physiology and Biochemistry
#459
of 529 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#233,836
of 278,742 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Physiology and Biochemistry
#8
of 9 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,830,751 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 529 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.1. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 278,742 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 9 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
