Tumor necrosis factor-alpha inhibits insulin-induced increase in endothelial nitric oxide synthase and reduces insulin receptor content and phosphorylation in human aortic endothelial cells

Abstract

Insulin exerts a vasodilatory effect through the release of nitric oxide (NO) from the endothelium. We have recently demonstrated that insulin also inhibits the expression of intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), 2 major proinflammatory mediators, by human aortic endothelial cells (HAEC) and the proinflammatory mediator, nuclear factor (NF-kappa B), in the nucleus in parallel with an increase in endothelial nitric oxide synthase (e-NOS) expression. The inhibition of ICAM-1 by insulin is NO dependent. Because tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a ) is proinflammatory and may thus inhibit the action of insulin at the endothelial cell level, we have now investigated whether TNF-a affects (1) insulin receptor content; (2) insulin receptor (IR) autophosphorylation induced by insulin, and (3) e-NOS expression by the endothelial cells. TNF-alpha (1 to 5 ng/mL) caused e-NOS inhibition in a dose-dependent fashion as measured by Western blotting. This inhibition was reduced with insulin addition. TNF-alpha also inhibited tyrosine autophosphorylation of the IR in HAEC induced by insulin and reduced IR beta-subunit protein expression in HAEC. These effects of insulin and TNF-alpha were inde...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.
