Proinflammatory adipocytokines induce TIMP-1 expression in 3T3-L1 adipocytes.
Abstract
Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP)-1 is an adipocyte-secreted protein upregulated in obesity which promotes adipose tissue
development. Furthermore, the proinflammatory adipocytokines tumor
necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) and interleukin (IL)-6 induce insulin
resistance, and plasma concentrations are increased during weight gain.
In the current study, the impact of TNFalpha and IL-6 on TIMP-1 mRNA and protein expression was determined in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Interestingly, TNFalpha and IL-6 induced TIMP-1 protein secretion more than 3- and 2-fold, respectively. Furthermore, TIMP-1 mRNA was upregulated in a time- and dose-dependent fashion. Inhibitor experiments suggested that nuclear factor kappaB and p 44/42 mitogen-activated protein kinase are involved in both, basal and adipocytokine-induced TIMP-1 expression. Moreover, the thiazolidinedione troglitazone partly reversed TNFalpha- but not IL-6-induced TIMP-1 synthesis. Taken together, we demonstrate that TIMP-1 expression is selectively upregulated in fat cells by proinflammatory adipocytokines and might play a role in maintaining adipose tissue mass in obesity.
