Saturated free fatty acid (FFA) is a major source of metabolic stress that activates the c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JINK). This FFA-stimulated JNK pathway is relevant to hallmarks of metabolic syndrome, including insulin resistance. Here we used gene ablation studies in mice to demonstrate a central role for mixed-lineage protein kinases (MLK) in this signaling pathway. Saturated FFA causes protein kinase C (PKC)dependent activation of MLK3 that subsequently causes increased JNK activity by a mechanism that requires the MAP kinase kinases MKK4 and MKK7. Loss of PKC, MLK3, MKK4, or MKK7 expression prevents FIFA-stimulated JNK activation. Together, these data establish a signaling pathway that mediates effects of metabolic stress on insulin resistance.
