| abstractText | Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients have increased an incidence of Type 2 diabetes (T2D), however the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. Since AD is considered a multifactorial disease, that affects both the central nerves system and periphery, and the dysregulation of hepatic lipid and glucose metabolism play critical roles in T2D, we therefore aim to explore the influence of AD genotype on the liver during the progress of high-fat diet (HFD)-induced T2D. 14-week-old female APPSWE /PSEN1dE9 (AD) mice and age-, gender-matched wild type controls C57BL/6J (WT) mice were fed a HFD (45% kcal fat content) or a standard chow diet (Chow, 12% kcal fat content) for 22 weeks. The effects of diet and genotype were analyzed. Mouse primary hepatocytes were used to decipher the underlying mechanisms. HFD induced significantly higher body weight gain, more severe hyperglycemia, glucose intolerance as well as hepatic insulin resistance in AD mice than in WT mice. However, AD mice showed reduced HFD-induced hepatic steatosis, and SREBP-1-mediated lipogenic signaling was activated by HFD in WT mice but not in AD mice. Additionally, 14-week-old AD mice exhibited higher expression of NF-kappaB p65, p-JNK and p-p38MAPK, as well as higher hepatic and serum contents of IL-6 and TNFalpha. In mouse primary hepatocyte cultures, IL-6 and TNFalpha inhibited high glucose plus insulin-induced activation of SREBP-1-mediated lipogenic signaling and biosynthesis of NEFA and TG. Early inflammation-associated factors most likely diminish HFD-induced hepatic lipid deposition by inhibiting SREBP-1-mediated de novo lipogenesis, thus driving substrate flux to glucose production for hyperglycemia and hepatic insulin resistance in T2D development.
