Proinflammatory cytokines are recently reported to inhibit insulin signaling causing insulin resistance. Inteleukin-1{alpha} (IL-1{alpha}) is also one of the proinflammatory cytokines, however, it has not been clarified whether IL-1{alpha} may also cause insulin resistance. Here, we investigated the effects of IL-1{alpha} treatment on insulin signaling in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. IL-1{alpha} treatment up to 4 h did not alter insulin-stimulated insulin receptor tyrosine phosphorylation, while tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1 and the association with PI3-kinase were partially inhibited with the maximal inhibition in around 15 min. IRS-1 was transiently phosphorylated on some serine residues around 15 min after IL-1{alpha} stimulation, when several serine kinases, IKK, JNK, ERK, and p70S6K were activated. Chemical inhibitors for these kinases inhibited IL-1{alpha}-induced serine phosphorylation of IRS-1. Tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1 was recovered only by the IKK inhibitor or JNK inhibitor, suggesting specific involvement of these two kinases. Insulin-stimulated Akt phosphorylation and 2-deoxyglucose uptake were not inhibited only by IL-1{alpha}. Interestingly, Akt phosphorylation was synergistically inhibited by IL-1{alpha} in the presence of IL-6. Taken together, short term IL-1{alpha} treatment transiently causes insulin resistance at IRS-1 level with its serine phosphorylation. IL-1{alpha} may suppress insulin signaling downstream of IRS-1 in the presence of other cytokines, such as IL-6.


Key words: inerleukin-1{alpha} • insulin resistance • IRS-1 • serine kinase • cytokine
