The current study addressed the question of how palmitate might interact with insulin or PGE(2) to induce the formation of the chemotactic pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-8 (IL-8). Human THP-1 cells were differentiated into macrophages. In these macrophages, palmitate induced IL-8 formation. Insulin enhanced the induction of IL-8 formation by palmitate as well as the palmitate-dependent stimulation of PGE(2) synthesis. PGE(2) in turn elicited IL-8 formation on its own and enhanced the induction of IL-8 release by palmitate, most likely by activating the EP4 receptor. Since IL-8 causes insulin resistance and fosters inflammation, the increase in palmitate-induced IL-8 formation that is caused by hyperinsulinemia and locally produced PGE(2) in chronically inflamed adipose tissue might favor disease progression in a vicious feed-forward cycle.}, language = {en} } @article{SchellWardelmannKleinridders2021, author = {Schell, Mareike and Wardelmann, Kristina and Kleinridders, Andre}, title = {Untangling the effect of insulin action on brain mitochondria and metabolism}, series = {Journal of neuroendocrinology}, volume = {33}, journal = {Journal of neuroendocrinology}, number = {4}, publisher = {Wiley}, address = {Hoboken}, issn = {0953-8194}, doi = {10.1111/jne.12932}, pages = {14}, year = {2021}, abstract = {The regulation of energy homeostasis is controlled by the brain and, besides requiring high amounts of energy, it relies on functional insulin/insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1 signalling in the central nervous system. This energy is mainly provided by mitochondria in form of ATP. Thus, there is an intricate interplay between mitochondrial function and insulin/IGF-1 action to enable functional brain signalling and, accordingly, propagate a healthy metabolism. To adapt to different nutritional conditions, the brain is able to sense the current energy status via mitochondrial and insulin signalling-dependent pathways and exerts an appropriate metabolic response. However, regional, cell type and receptor-specific consequences of this interaction occur and are linked to diverse outcomes such as altered nutrient sensing, body weight regulation or even cognitive function. Impairments of this cross-talk can lead to obesity and glucose intolerance and are linked to neurodegenerative diseases, yet they also induce a self-sustainable, dysfunctional 'metabolic triangle' characterised by insulin resistance, mitochondrial dysfunction and inflammation in the brain. The identification of causal factors deteriorating insulin action, mitochondrial function and concomitantly a signature of metabolic stress in the brain is of utter importance to offer novel mechanistic insights into development of the continuously rising prevalence of non-communicable diseases such as type 2 diabetes and neurodegeneration. This review aims to determine the effect of insulin action on brain mitochondrial function and energy metabolism. It precisely outlines the interaction and differences between insulin action, insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1 signalling and mitochondrial function; distinguishes between causality and association; and reveals its consequences for metabolism and cognition. We hypothesise that an improvement of at least one signalling pathway can overcome the vicious cycle of a self-perpetuating metabolic dysfunction in the brain present in metabolic and neurodegenerative diseases.}, language = {en} } @misc{EngelSchraplauWochatzetal.2021, author = {Engel, Tilman and Schraplau, Anne and Wochatz, Monique and Kopinski, Stephan and Sonnenburg, Dominik and Schom{\"o}ller, Anne and Risch, Lucie and Kaplick, Hannes and Mayer, Frank}, title = {Feasability of An Eccentric Isokinetic Protocol to Induce Trunk Muscle Damage: A Pilot Study}, series = {Zweitver{\"o}ffentlichungen der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam : Humanwissenschaftliche Reihe}, journal = {Zweitver{\"o}ffentlichungen der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam : Humanwissenschaftliche Reihe}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, issn = {1866-8364}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-55740}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-557409}, pages = {E9 -- E17}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Eccentric exercise is discussed as a treatment option for clinical populations, but specific responses in terms of muscle damage and systemic inflammation after repeated loading of large muscle groups have not been conclusively characterized.

Eine m{\"o}gliche Ursache f{\"u}r die Entstehung von Insulinresistenz ist eine chronische unterschwellige Entz{\"u}ndung, welche ihren Ursprung im Fettgewebe {\"u}bergewichtiger Personen hat. Eingewanderte Makrophagen produzieren vermehrt pro-inflammatorische Mediatoren, wie Zytokine und Prostaglandine, wodurch die Konzentrationen dieser Substanzen sowohl lokal als auch systemisch erh{\"o}ht sind. Dar{\"u}ber hinaus weisen {\"u}bergewichtige Personen einen gest{\"o}rten Fetts{\"a}uremetabolismus und eine erh{\"o}hte Darmpermeabilit{\"a}t auf. Ein gesteigerter Flux an freien Fetts{\"a}uren vom Fettgewebe in andere Organe f{\"u}hrt zu einer lokalen Konzentrationssteigerung in diesen Organen. Eine erh{\"o}hte Darmpermeabilit{\"a}t erleichtert das Eindringen von Pathogenen und anderer k{\"o}rperfremder Substanzen in den K{\"o}rper. Ziel dieser Arbeit war es, zu untersuchen, ob hohe Konzentrationen von Insulin, des bakteriellen Bestandteils Lipopolysaccharid (LPS) oder der freien Fetts{\"a}ure Palmitat eine Entz{\"u}ndungsreaktion in Makrophagen ausl{\"o}sen oder verst{\"a}rken k{\"o}nnen und ob diese Entz{\"u}ndungsantwort zur Ausbildung einer Insulinresistenz beitragen kann. Weiterhin sollte untersucht werden, ob Metabolite und Signalsubstanzen, deren Konzentrationen beim metabolischen Syndrom erh{\"o}ht sind, die Produktion des Prostaglandins (PG) E2 beg{\"u}nstigen k{\"o}nnen und ob dieses wiederum die Entz{\"u}ndungsreaktion und seine eigene Produktion in Makrophagen regulieren kann. Um den Einfluss dieser Faktoren auf die Produktion pro-inflammatorischer Mediatoren in Makrophagen zu untersuchen, wurden Monozyten-artigen Zelllinien und prim{\"a}re humane Monozyten, welche aus dem Blut gesunder Probanden isoliert wurden, in Makrophagen differenziert und mit Insulin, LPS, Palmitat und/ oder PGE2 inkubiert. {\"U}berdies wurden prim{\"a}re Hepatozyten der Ratte isoliert und mit {\"U}berst{\"a}nden Insulin-stimulierter Makrophagen inkubiert, um zu untersuchen, ob die Entz{\"u}ndungsanwort in Makrophagen an der Ausbildung einer Insulinresistenz in Hepatozyten beteiligt ist. Insulin induzierte die Expression pro-inflammatorischer Zytokine in Makrophagen-artigen Zelllinien wahrscheinlich vorrangig {\"u}ber den Phosphoinositid-3-Kinase (PI3K)-Akt-Signalweg mit anschließender Aktiverung des Transkriptionsfaktors NF-κB (nuclear factor 'kappa-light-chain-enhancer' of activated B-cells). Die dabei ausgesch{\"u}tteten Zytokine hemmten in prim{\"a}ren Hepatozyten der Ratte die Insulin-induzierte Expression der Glukokinase durch {\"U}berst{\"a}nde Insulin-stimulierter Makrophagen. Auch LPS oder Palmitat, deren lokale Konzentrationen im Zuge des metabolischen Syndroms erh{\"o}ht sind, waren in der Lage, die Expression pro-inflammatorischer Zytokine in Makrophagen-artigen Zelllinien zu stimulieren. W{\"a}hrend LPS seine Wirkung, laut Literatur, unbestritten {\"u}ber eine Aktivierung des Toll-{\"a}hnlichen Rezeptors (toll-like receptor; TLR) 4 vermittelt, scheint Palmitat jedoch weitestgehend TLR4-unabh{\"a}ngig wirken zu k{\"o}nnen. Vielmehr schien die de novo-Ceramidsynthese eine entscheidene Rolle zu spielen. Dar{\"u}ber hinaus verst{\"a}rkte Insulin sowohl die LPS- als auch die Palmitat-induzierte Ent-z{\"u}ndungsantwort in beiden Zelllinien. Die in Zelllinien gewonnenen Ergebnisse wurden gr{\"o}ßtenteils in prim{\"a}ren humanen Makrophagen best{\"a}tigt. Desweiteren induzierten sowohl Insulin als auch LPS oder Palmitat die Produktion von PGE2 in den untersuchten Makrophagen. Die Daten legen nahe, dass dies auf eine gesteigerte Expression PGE2-synthetisierender Enzyme zur{\"u}ckzuf{\"u}hren ist. PGE2 wiederum hemmte auf der einen Seite die Stimulus-abh{\"a}ngige Expression des pro-inflammatorischen Zytokins Tumornekrosefaktor (TNF) α in U937-Makrophagen. Auf der anderen Seite verst{\"a}rkte es jedoch die Expression der pro-inflammatorischen Zytokine Interleukin- (IL-) 1β und IL-8. Dar{\"u}ber hinaus verst{\"a}rkte es die Expression von IL-6-Typ-Zytokinen, welche sowohl pro- als auch anti-inflammatorisch wirken k{\"o}nnen. Außerdem vest{\"a}rkte PGE2 die Expression PGE2-synthetisierender Enzyme. Es scheint daher in der Lage zu sein, seine eigene Synthese zu verst{\"a}rken. Zusammenfassend kann die Freisetzung pro-inflammatorischer Mediatoren aus Makro-phagen im Zuge einer Hyperinsulin{\"a}mie die Entstehung einer Insulinresistenz beg{\"u}nstigen. Insulin ist daher in der Lage, einen Teufelskreis der immer st{\"a}rker werdenden Insulin-resistenz in Gang zu setzen. Auch Metabolite und Signalsubstanzen, deren Konzentrationen beim metabolischen Syndrom erh{\"o}ht sind (zum Beispiel LPS, freie Fetts{\"a}uren und PGE2), l{\"o}sten Entz{\"u}ndungsantworten in Makrophagen aus. Das wechselseitige Zusammenspiel von Insulin und diesen Metaboliten und Signalsubstanzen l{\"o}ste eine st{\"a}rkere Entz{\"u}ndungsantwort in Makrophagen aus als jeder der Einzelkomponenten. Die dadurch freigesetzten Zytokine k{\"o}nnten zur Manifestation einer Insulinresistenz und des metabolischen Syndroms beitragen.}, language = {de} } @article{HenkelOberlaenderKlauderStatzetal.2021, author = {Henkel-Oberl{\"a}nder, Janin and Klauder, Julia and Statz, Meike and Wohlenberg, Anne-Sophie and Kuipers, Sonja and Vahrenbrink, Madita and P{\"u}schel, Gerhard}, title = {Enhanced Palmitate-Induced Interleukin-8 Formation in Human Macrophages by Insulin or Prostaglandin E₂}, series = {Biomedicines : open access journal}, volume = {9}, journal = {Biomedicines : open access journal}, number = {5}, publisher = {MDPI}, address = {Basel}, issn = {2227-9059}, doi = {10.3390/biomedicines9050449}, pages = {10}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Macrophages in pathologically expanded dysfunctional white adipose tissue are exposed to a mix of potential modulators of inflammatory response, including fatty acids released from insulin-resistant adipocytes, increased levels of insulin produced to compensate insulin resistance, and prostaglandin E₂ (PGE₂) released from activated macrophages.
