AbstractWe previously showed that genetic inactivation of malonyl-CoA decarboxylase (MCD), which regulates fatty acid oxidation, protects mice against high-fat diet-induced insulin resistance. Development of insulin resistance has been associated with activation of the inflammatory response. Therefore, we hypothesized that the protective effect of MCD inhibition might be caused by a favorable effect on the inflammatory response. We examined if pharmacological inhibition of MCD protects neonatal cardiomyocytes and peritoneal macrophages against inflammatory-induced metabolic perturbations. Cardiomyocytes and macrophages were treated with LPS to induce an inflammatory response, in the presence or absence of an MCD inhibitor (CBM- 301106, 10 μM). Inhibition of MCD attenuated the LPS-induced inflammatory response in cardiomyocytes and macrophages. MCD inhibition also prevented LPS impairment of insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in cardiomyocytes and increased phosphorylation of Akt. Additionally, inhibition of MCD strongly diminished LPS-induced activation of palmitate oxidation. We also found that treatment with an MCD inhibitor prevented LPS-induced collapse of total cellular antioxidant capacity. Interestingly, treatment with LPS or an MCD inhibitor did not alter intracellular triacylglycerol content. Furthermore, inhibition of MCD prevented LPS-induced increases in the level of ceramide in cardiomyocytes and macrophages while also ameliorating LPS-initiated decreases in PPAR binding. This suggests that the anti-inflammatory effect of MCD inhibition is mediated via accumulation of long-chain acyl-CoA, which in turn stimulates PPAR binding. Our results also demonstrate that pharmacological inhibition of MCD is a novel and promising approach to treat insulin resistance and its associated metabolic complications. © 2012 the American Physiological Society.
