Title: SH2 domain-containing inositol 5-phosphatase (SHIP2) inhibition ameliorates high glucose-induced de-novo lipogenesis and VLDL production through regulating AMPK/mTOR/SREBP1 pathway and ROS production in HepG2 cells. Author: Gorgani-Firuzjaee S, Meshkani R. Journal: Free Radic Biol Med; 2015 Dec; 89():679-89. PubMed ID: 26456051. Abstract: Hepatic de-novo lipogenesis and production of triglyceride rich very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) is increased in the state of insulin resistance, however, the role of a negative regulator of the insulin signaling pathway, the SH2 domain-containing inositol 5-phosphatase (SHIP2) in this process, remains unknown. In the present study, we studied the molecular mechanisms linking SHIP2 expression to metabolic dyslipidemia using overexpression or suppression of SHIP2 gene in HepG2 cells exposed to high glucose (33 mM). The results showed that high glucose induced SHIP2 mRNA and protein levels in HepG2 cells. Overexpression of the dominant negative mutant SHIP2 (SHIP2-DN) ameliorated high glucose-induced de-novo lipogenesis and secretion of apoB containing lipoprotein in HepG2 cells, as demonstrated by a reduction in both secreted apoB and MTP expression, and decreased triglyceride levels and the expression of lipogenic genes such as SREBP1c, FAS and ACC. Overexpression of the SHIP2-DN decreased high glucose-induced apoB containing lipoproteins secretion via reduction in ROS generation, JNK phosphorylation and Akt activation. Furthermore, using the specific inhibitor and activator, it was found that the AMPK/mTOR/SREBP1 is the signaling pathway that mediates the effects of SHIP2 modulation on hepatic de-novo lipogenesis. Taken together, these findings suggest that SHIP2 is an important regulator of hepatic lipogenesis and lipoprotein secretion in insulin resistance state.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
