title = "Cross-talk between insulin signalling and LPS responses in mouse macrophages",
abstract = "The effect of insulin priming on Il-10 expression, regulation of inflammatory cytokines and participation of intra-cellular signalling events, primarily ERK1/2 and PI3K/Akt, has been investigated in high glucose (HG) and/or lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced murine macrophages. Our results demonstrate that congruent with sharp increase in ERK1/2 and CREB phosphorylation, insulin stimulation in vitro promotes significant increase in Il-10 expression in mouse peritoneal macrophage and RAW 264.7 cells, both positive for anti-IRβ. Pharmacological inhibition of MEK/MAPK, but not PI3K/Akt cascade, abrogates CREB phosphorylation and Il-10 synthesis indicating functional relevance of insulin action. Conversely, priming with PI3K inhibitor wortmannin prevents insulin attenuation of HG- and/or LPS-induced p38 MAPK and NF-κB activation, Tnf-α Il-1β expression as well as NO production. Congruent with reduced Il-10 expression, MEK inhibition abrogates insulin action allowing significant increase in Tlr4 expression and LPS response indicating insulin-induced Il-10 might have pivotal influence in regulation of chronic as well as acute inflammatory response.",
