Outline of Final Research Achievements

Recently, several studies have shown that white adipose tissue (WAT) fibrosis is enhanced in obese subjects. In the present study, we examined effects of exercise training (TR) on high fat diet (HFD)-induced expression changes of extracellular matrix (ECM) factors, such as dermatopontin (Dpt), in WAT, and attempted identification of roles of Dpt in WAT. The mRNA levels of Dpt, TGF-β, and TIMP1 in WAT of HFD-induced obese mice were significantly higher than those in WAT of control mice, and TR significantly attenuated the expression of these genes. The production of TIMP1 in 3T3-L1 cells were upregulated by treatment with TGF-β although Dpt did not affect. Moreover, treatment of 3T3-L1 cells with TIMP1 resulted in attenuation of insulin-induced glucose uptake. These results suggest that TR attenuates HFD-induced increases in ECM factors in WAT. Moreover, TR may improve insulin sensitivity by inhibiting accumulation of ECM which is associate with reduction of glucose uptake in WAT.
