Abstract

Aims/hypothesis

Saturated fatty acids (SFAs) such as palmitate activate inflammatory pathways and elicit an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response in macrophages, thereby contributing to the development of insulin resistance linked to the metabolic syndrome. This study addressed the question of whether or not mitochondrial fatty acid β-oxidation (FAO) affects macrophage responses to SFA.

Methods

We modulated the activity of carnitine palmitoyl transferase 1A (CPT1A) in macrophage-differentiated THP-1 monocytic cells using genetic or pharmacological approaches, treated the cells with palmitate and analysed the proinflammatory and ER stress signatures.

Results

To inhibit FAO, we created THP-1 cells with a stable knockdown (KD) of CPT1A and differentiated them to macrophages. Consequently, in CPT1A-silenced cells FAO was reduced. CPT1A KD in THP-1 macrophages increased proinflammatory signalling, cytokine expression and ER stress responses after palmitate treatment. In addition, in human primary macrophages CPT1A KD elevated palmitate-induced inflammatory gene expression. Pharmacological inhibition of FAO with etomoxir recapitulated the CPT1A KD phenotype. Conversely, overexpression of a malonyl-CoA-insensitive CPT1A M593S mutant reduced inflammatory and ER stress responses to palmitate in THP-1 macrophages. Macrophages with a CPT1A KD accumulated diacylglycerols and triacylglycerols after palmitate treatment, while ceramide accumulation remained unaltered. Moreover, lipidomic analysis of ER phospholipids revealed increased palmitate incorporation into phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylserine classes associated with the CPT1A KD.

Conclusions/interpretation

Our data indicate that FAO attenuates inflammatory and ER stress responses in SFA-exposed macrophages, suggesting an anti-inflammatory impact of drugs that activate FAO.
