Title in Portuguese
Redução da expressão do GLUT4 induzida por palmitato não envolve estresse de retículo endoplasmático em células musculares L6.
Keywords in Portuguese
Células musculares
Estresse
Fatores de transcrição
Insulina
Sistema musculoesquelético
Abstract in Portuguese
Altas concentrações de ácidos graxos saturados desencadeiam resistência à insulina no músculo esquelético e o estresse de retículo endoplasmático (RE) é sugerido neste processo. Este estudo objetivou investigar, em células musculares L6, os efeitos do tratamento com palmitato sobre o estresse de RE e a ativação do NF-kB, relacionando-os com o prejuízo na expressão do GLUT4. Pelos resultados, observou-se que o tratamento com 0,75 mM de palmitato induziu redução no conteúdo de GLUT4 e Slc2a4. Os marcadores de estresse como GRP78, PERK/EIF2a e IRE1a/XBP-1/TRAF2 apresentaram pouca ativação. O fator transcricional NF-kB apresentou-se aumentado em seu conteúdo proteico e RNAm. A atividade de ligação do NF-kB à região promotora do Slc2a4 mostrou aumento independente do grau de fosforilação de IKK. Em suma, observou-se que o palmitato reprime a expressão do Slc2a4 e que induz pouco estresse de RE em células L6. Por outro lado, a participação do NF-kB parece ser importante no controle deste fenômeno reduzindo a expressão do Slc2a4 e prejudicando a homeostasia da glicose.

Abstract in English
High concentrations of saturated fatty acids trigger insulin resistance in skeletal muscle and endoplasmic reticulum stress (ER) is suggested in this process. This study aimed to investigate, in L6 muscle cells, the effects of palmitate treatment on ER stress pathways and activation of NF-kB, relating them to the impaired expression of GLUT4. The results showed that treatment with 0.75 mM of palmitate induced reduction in the amount of GLUT4 and Slc2a4. Stress markers such as GRP78, PERK/EIF2a and IRE1a/XBP-1/TRAF2 showed little activation. The transcription factor NF-kB were increased in protein content and mRNA. The binding activity of NF-kB to the promoter region of Slc2a4 showed increased independent from the phosphorylation of IKK. Finally, it was observed that palmitate represses the expression of Slc2a4 and that this fatty acid induces little activation of reticulum stress pathways in L6 cells. On the other hand, the involvement of NF-kB appears to be important to control this phenomenon, reducing the expression of Slc2a4 and impairing glucose homeostasis.
