| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In isolated hepatocytes, incubation with palmitic acid (PA) resulted in accumulation of lipid droplets in cytosol. Under confocal microscopy, cells expressing clustered lipid rafts were significantly increased by PA. Addition of cholesterol oxidase (CHOX), which disrupts lipid rafts, to the cultures for 1hr reversed PA-induced clusters. pIRS-1 and -2 and pAkt in response to insulin stimulation were significantly attenuated under PA compared to controls. By contrast, CHOX significantly ameliorated PA induced-insulin resistance. PA alone did not increase ROS, however, low dose of tert-butylhydroperoxide (TBH) obviously caused cell death in PA-pretreated cells. Interestingly, pre-treatment with CHOX significantly prevented increases in ROS and cell death caused by PA plus TBH. PA elicits hepatic insulin resistance and sensitization to oxidative cell injury through clusterization of lipid rafts in isolated hepatocytes.
