Regulation of TXNIP mRNA levels in β-cells.
<p>Transcription of TXNIP is under the control of a protein complex consisting of ChREBP (carbohydrate-responsive element-binding protein) and MondoA as well as the histone acetyltransferase P300. ChREBP is negatively regulated by AMPK. Consequently, stimulation of AMPK by AICAR inhibits ChREBP and TXNIP expression, while inhibition of AMPK by glucose and BML-275 activates ChREBP and increases TXNIP mRNA levels. Histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1), counteracts P300-mediated histone acetylation, and is involved in insulin-mediated downregulation of TXNIP expression. Thus, inhibition of PI3K, AKT or HDAC1/3 increases TXNIP mRNA levels. Fatty acids-mediated stimulation of insulin secretion occurs via FFAR1/GPR40, a signalling pathway not involved in regulation of TXNIP expression. Fatty acids activate AMPK and have an additional effect on TXNIP mRNA levels. Fatty acids counteract glucose-induced TXNIP expression and ROS elevation, events which do not impede the ER strees-associated lipotoxic effect.</p
