In obesity, levels of tumor necrosis-factor alpha (TNF alpha) are well known to be elevated in adipose tissues or serum, and a high-fat diet (HFD) reportedly increases TNF alpha expression in the hypothalamus. The expression levels of hypothalamic protein tyrosine phosphatase 18 (PTP1B), a negative regulator of leptin and insulin signaling, are also elevated by HFD, and several lines of evidence support a relationship between TNF alpha and PTP1B. It remains unclear however how TNF alpha acts locally in the hypothalamus to regulate hypothalamic PTP1B expression and activity. In this study, we examined whether TNF alpha can regulate PTP1B expression and activity using rat hypothalamic organotypic cultures. Incubation of cultures with TNF alpha resulted in increases in mRNA expression, protein levels and activity of PTP1B in a dose- and time-dependent manner, respectively compared with controls. TNF alpha-induced PTP1B protein levels were not influenced by co-incubation with the sodium channel blocker tetrodotoxin, indicating that the action of TNF alpha is independent of action potentials. TNF alpha also increased phosphorylation of p65, a subunit of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF kappa B), in a dose- and time-dependent manner. While incubation with inhibitors of NF kappa B did not affect basal levels of either p65 phosphorylation or PTP1B expression, it markedly suppressed both TNF alpha-induced p65 phosphorylation and PTP1B expression to almost basal levels. These data suggest that TNF alpha acts on the hypothalamus to increase hypothalamic PTP1B expression and activity via the NF kappa B pathway, and that TNF alpha-mediated induction of NF kappa B in the hypothalamus may cause leptin and insulin resistance in the hypothalamus by increasing hypothalamic PTP1B activity.
