Lipid accumulation in pancreatic beta-cells during high-fat (HF) feeding
may be involved in inducing a defective insulin secretion due to
lipotoxicity. Hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) is expressed and
active in beta-cells, but its importance for islet dysfunction during the
development of type 2 diabetes is not known. In this study, prolonged
HF feeding of C57BL/6J mice, resulted in decreased HSL expression in
islets, representing only 25 +- 4% of the levels observed in controls.
This was paralleled by triglyceride accumulation and blunted insulin
secretion both in vivo and in vitro. After switching the HF diet to a LF
diet, HSL expression increased 10-fold compared to the HF fed mice.
This was accompanied by reduced triglyceride levels and a restored insulin
secretion. These results support the notion that HSL plays a critical
role in the regulation of intracellular triglyceride levels in beta-cells,
and that down-regulation of the enzyme may serve to protect against fatty
acid-induced islet dysfunction.
