MAP4K4 Gene Silencing in Human Skeletal Muscle Prevents Tumor Necrosis Factor-α-induced Insulin Resistance
17 Jan 2007
Abstract excerpt
Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) induces skeletal muscle insulin resistance by impairing insulin signaling events involved in GLUT4 translocation. We tested whether mitogenic-activated protein kinase kinase kinase kinase isoform 4 (MAP4K4) causes the TNF-alpha-induced negative regulation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase-1/2 (ERK-1/2), c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK), and the insulin receptor...
