Toll-like receptor signaling links dietary fatty acids to the metabolic syndrome - 0 views

  • Activation of the innate immune system controls macronutrient metabolism
  • the innate immune response is the first line of defense against invading pathogens, wherein highly conserved pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) are recognized by cognate pattern recognition receptors (PRRs
  • many studies have supported the idea that cytokine signaling directly promotes insulin resistance
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • innate immune system may be causally linked to obesity
  • adipose tissue contains a substantial population of macrophages, and macrophage-driven adipose inflammation contributes significantly to the pathogenesis of obesity
  • Collectively, activation of the innate immune system is strongly associated with ASCVD, insulin resistance, and obesity, and recent evidence suggests that much of this association can be traced to a unique family of PRRs known as TLRs
  • TLRs are a family of type I transmembrane receptors, currently thought to comprise at least 13 members in mammals, that specifically recognize a variety of microbial PAMPs and trigger host cellular responses
  • Free SFAs have indeed been demonstrated to elicit TLR4-dependent and TLR2-dependent responses in several cell types.
  • Endogenous SFAs released from adipocytes activate cocultured macrophages via TLR4 [18], indicating the potential for cellular crosstalk in adipose tissue. Collectively, there is a growing body of evidence that SFAs promote, whereas long chain PUFA antagonize, TLR4-dependent and TLR2-dependent signaling in multiple cell models
  • In an elegant study, Shi et al. [16] demonstrated that SFAs activate TLR4-dependent signaling in both macrophages and adipocytes, and mice lacking TLR4 are protected against insulin resistance driven by intravenous lipid infusion
  • In addition to effects in macrophages and adipocytes, SFAs can activate TLR4 in the hypothalamus, which triggers a central inflammatory response that results in resistance to anorexigenic signals
  • endogenous SFAs can indeed promote innate immunity and inflammatory disease
  • This finding strongly supports the work of Hwang and coworkers [19–22] demonstrating that ω-3 PUFAs can effectively counteract SFA-induced TLR4 activation in cultured macrophages and dendritic cells.

Innate Immune Pathway Links Obesity to Insulin Resistance - 0 views

  •  
    insulin resistance leads to excess FFA, obesity and activation of the innate immune signaling.  This uses TLR4  and stimulates NF-KappaB transcription.  The result is inflammation and associated inflammatory disease conditions.

Pathway Central: LDL Oxidation in Atherogenesis - 0 views

  •  
    Great diagram.  This diagram shows the current knowledge of how plaque is formed in arteries.  The major point here is the oxidation of LDL and the activation of the innate immune system and resultant inflammatory signaling.  In the vast majority of cases, the inflammation is driving this process, not the LDL.

  •  
    Lipopolysaccharide, LPS, released from gram negative bacteria exacerbates the innate immune system response to mercury.  This study found increased IgG1 and IgE levels increased in response to Hg with the presence of LPS.   This study looked at the autoimmune impact of LPS in autism.
