Reactive oxygen species (ROS) production has recently been established as an essential contributor in the pathogenesis of obesity-associated insulin resistance. The FoxO1 pathway plays a role not only in nutrient sensing but also in regulating ROS production. We exposed adipocytes to free fatty acids (FFA) and demonstrated that FoxO1 protein levels decrease in a dose-dependent manner. The FoxO1 downregulation correlated with an increase in the production of ROS and a proinflammatory adipokine pattern characterized by a decrease in adiponectin and an increase in IL-6, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, and monocyte chemotactic protem-1 mRNA expression levels. Similarly, a decrease in FoxO1 protein levels was seen in adipocytes of dbldb mice compared with controls. Treatment with the sirtuin agonist resveratrol, which translocates FoxO1 to the nucleus, increased FoxO1 protein levels in adipocytes exposed to FFA. This correlated with a decrease in the generation of ROS and a partial reversal of the proinflammatory adipokine pattern. Together these results indicate that the insulin-resistant adipocyte produced by the exposure to a high concentration of fatty acids is characterized by decreased levels of FoxO1. These data also suggest that modulation of the Sirtl/FoxO1 pathway is a potentially useful therapeutic target for the obesity-induced dysfunctional adipocyte.
