Inhibition of MEK1 Signaling Pathway in the Liver Ameliorates Insulin Resistance by Atsunori Ueyama, Nobuhiro Ban, Masanori Fukazawa, Tohru Hirayama, Minako Takeda, Tatsuo Yata, Hiroyasu Muramatsu, Masaki Hoshino, Marii Yamamoto, Masao Matsuo, Yuka Kawashima, Tatsuhiko Iwase, Takehisa Kitazawa, Youichi Kushima, Yuichiro Yamada, Yoshiki Kawabe

“…Although mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK) is a key signaling molecule and a negative regulator of insulin action, it is still uncertain whether MEK can be a therapeutic target for amelioration of insulin resistance (IR) in type 2 diabetes (T2D) in vivo. To clarify whether MEK inhibition improves T2D, we examined the effect of continuous MEK inhibition with two structurally different MEK inhibitors, RO5126766 and RO4987655, in mouse models of T2D. …”

“…Finally, the receiver operating characteristics curve is used to verify the result.Results The logistic regression model indicated age (OR=1.020, p=0.017, 95% CI 1.004 to 1.040), systolic blood pressure (OR=1.013, p=0.006, 95% CI 1.004 to 1.022), waist circumference (OR=1.021, p=0.015, 95% CI 1.004 to 1.038), white blood cells (WBC, OR=1.185, p=0.001, 95% CI 1.085 to 1.295) and triglycerides (TG, OR=1.110, p=0.047, 95% CI 1.001 to 1.230) were risk factors for DKD, while free triiodothyronine (fT3, OR=0.711, p=0.011, 95% CI 0.547 to 0.926) was a protective factor for DKD in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Subgroup analysis revealed that in patients with a short duration of diabetes (&lt;8 years), WBC (OR=1.306, p&lt;0.001, 95% CI 1.157 to 1.475) and TG (OR=1.188, p=0.033, 95% CI 1.014 to 1.393) were risk factors for DKD,fT3 (OR=0.544, p=0.002, 95% CI 0.367 to 0.804) was a protective factor for DKD; whereas for patients with disease course more than 8 years, age (OR=1.026, Pp=0.012, 95%CI=95% CI[ 1.006– to 1.048]) was identified as the only risk factor for DKD and fT3 (OR=0.036, Pp=0.017, 95%CI=95% CI[ 0.439– to 0.922]) was a protective factor for DKD.Conclusion The focus of attention should especially be on patients with a prolonged course of T2DM, and those with comorbid hypertension and hypertriglyceridaemia waist phenotype. …”
