ABSTRACT
Carrageenan (CGN) has been shown to cause inflammation through toll-like receptor 4, which may play an important role in insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Selenoprotein P (SeP) has recently been identified as a novel hepatokine that causes insulin resistance. Here, we report that treatment of HepG2 cells with CGN increased both CCAAT enhancer binding protein homologous protein (CHOP) and SeP expression. Pretreatment with 4-phenylbutyrate (4-PBA), an endoplasmic reticulum stress inhibitor, and PD98059, a c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) inhibitor, reversed CGN-induced SeP expression. Moreover, both 4-PBA and knock-down of SeP improved CGN-induced insulin resistance. In addition, we found that adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activators ameliorated CGN-induced insulin resistance in addition to suppressing CHOP and SeP expression. In conclusion, CGN-induced ER stress increased the expression of SeP through the JNK pathway, while AMPK activators ameliorated CGN-induced insulin resistance via SeP inhibition through the AMPK-mediated alleviation of ER stress in hepatocytes.
