Fatty acids can activate proinflammatory pathways leading to the development of insulin resistance, but the mechanism is undiscovered. Toll like receptor 2 (TLR2) recognizes lipids, activates proinflammatory pathways, and is genetically associated with inflammatory diseases. This study aimed to examine the role of TLR2 in palmitate-induced insulin resistance in C2C12 myotubes. Treatment with palmitate rapidly induced the association of myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88) with the TLR2 receptor, activated the stress-linked kinases p38, JNK, and protein kinase C, induced degradation of I kappa B alpha, and increased NF-kappa B DNA binding. The activation of these pathways by palmitate was sensitive and temporally regulated and occurred within the upper physiologic range of saturated fatty acid concentrations in vivo, suggesting a receptor-mediated event and not simple lipotoxicity. When compared with an equimolar concentration of palmitate, fibroblast-stimulating lipopeptide-1, a known TLR2 ligand, was a slightly more potent activator of signal transduction and interleukin (IL)-6 production. Palmitate inhibited insulin signal transduction in C2C12 cells beginning 1-2 h after exposure and reached a maximum at 12-16 h. An antagonist TLR2 antibody, mAb 2.5, led to a 50-60% decrease in palmitate- induced IL-6 production and partially restored insulin signal transduction, whereas an isotype-matched control antibody had no effect. RNA interference-resulted in a near complete inhibition of palmitate- induced insulin resistance and IL-6 production. This study provides strong evidence that TLR2 mediates the initial events of fatty acid-induced insulin resistance in muscle.
