ABSTRACT
Consumption of foods high in saturated fatty acids (FAs) as well as elevated levels of circulating free FAs are known to be associated with T2D. Though previous studies showed inflammation is crucially involved in the development of insulin resistance, how inflammation contributes to ß cell dysfunction has remained unclear. We report here the saturated FA palmitate induces ß cell dysfunction in vivo by activating inflammatory processes within islets. Through a combination of in vivo and in vitro studies, we show ß cells respond to palmitate via the TLR4/MyD88 pathway and produce chemokines that recruit CD11b(+)Ly-6C(+) M1-type proinflammatory monocytes/macrophages to the islets. Depletion of M1-type cells protected mice from palmitate-induced ß cell dysfunction. Islet inflammation also plays an essential role in ß cell dysfunction in T2D mouse models. Collectively, these results demonstrate a clear mechanistic link between ß cell dysfunction and inflammation mediated at least in part via the FFA-TLR4/MyD88 pathway.
