Investigating the Role of TLR2 and TLR4 in Palmitate-Induced INS-1 Cell Death

This study explores the effects of Toll-like receptors (TLR2 and TLR4) on palmitate-induced cell death in INS-1 cells. Using pipette-based electroporation, INS-1 cells were transfected with GFP to assess transfection efficiency. The protective effect of the calcineurin inhibitor deltametrin on cell viability was evaluated alongside phospho-JNK and IκBα levels through immunoblotting. DNA fragmentation was measured to quantify cell death. Results highlight the interaction between palmitate, TLRs, and deltametrin, with significant findings supporting potential therapeutic targets.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Supplement 1 siRNA sequences of green fluorescent protein (GFP), toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2), and toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)

  2. Supplement 2 B A a b Supplement 2. GFP-positive cells after pipette-based electroporation. After transfection of 1 g pEGFP-C1 DNA (Clontech) into 5x105 INS-1 cells using a pipette type-electroporator, the cells were further incubated for 48 h. The transfected cells were observed under phase contrast microscope (a) and fluorescent microscope (b) (A). Transfection efficiency was determined by counting GFP-positive fluorescent cells from total cells (B). Total Cells GFP-positive Cells

  3. Supplement 3 Primer sequences and reaction conditions for semi-quantitative RT-PCR

Protective effect of calcinurin inhibitor deltametrin on palmitate-induced INS-1 cell death and augmentation effect of deltametrin on the palmitate-induced TLR downstream signaling pathway. (A) INS-1 cells were treated with 0.4 mM palmitate and 0.1 M deltametrin for the indicated times. Levels of phospho-JNK and IB were determined by immunoblotting analysis of total lysates with anti-phospho-JNK and anti-IB antibodies. (B) INS-1 cells were treated with 0.4 mM palmitate for 16 h in the presence of different concentrations of deltametrin. Cell death was determined by measurement of DNA fragmentation using Cell Death Detection ELISA kit. Data represent mean + SE from three independent experiments. *P<0.05 vs. absorbance from untreated INS-1 cells.
