The hepatic transcription factor forkhead box O1 (FOXO1) is a critical regulator of hepatic and systemic insulin sensitivity. Previous work by our group and others demonstrated that genetic inhibition of FOXO1 improves insulin sensitivity both in genetic and dietary mouse models of metabolic disease. Mechanistically, this is due in part to cell nonautonomous control of adipose tissue insulin sensitivity. However, the mechanisms mediating this liver-adipose tissue crosstalk remain ill defined. One candidate hepatokine controlled by hepatic FOXO1 is fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21). Preclinical and clinical studies have explored the potential of pharmacological FGF21 as an antiobesity and antidiabetic therapy. In this manuscript, we performed acute loss-of-function experiments to determine the role of hepatocyte-derived FGF21 in glucose homeostasis and insulin tolerance both in control and mice lacking hepatic insulin signaling. Surprisingly, acute deletion of FGF21 did not alter glucose tolerance, insulin tolerance, or adipocyte lipolysis in either liver-specific FGF21KO mice or mice lacking hepatic AKT-FOXO1-FGF21, suggesting a permissive role for endogenous FGF21 in the regulation of systemic glucose homeostasis and insulin tolerance in mice. In addition, these data indicate that liver FOXO1 controls glucose homeostasis independently of liver-derived FGF21. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
