• Objective To investigate the attenuating effect of curcumin, an anti-inflammatory compound derived from dietary spice turmeric （Curcuma longa） on the pro-inflammatory insulin-resistant state in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Methods Glucose uptake rate was determined with the [3H] 2-deoxyglucose uptake method. Expressions of tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α） and interleukin-6 （IL-6） were measured by quantitative RT-PCR analysis and ELISA. Nuclear transcription factor kappaB p65 （NF-r,B p65） and mitogen-activated protein kinase （MAPKs） were detected by Western blot assay. Results The basal glucose uptake was not altered, and curcumin increased the insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in 3T3-L1 cells. Curcumin suppressed the transcription and secretion of TNF-α and IL-6 induced by palmitate in a concentration-dependent manner. Palmitate induced nuclear translocation of NF-kB. The activities of Jun NH2-terminal kinase ONK）, extracellular signal-regulated kinasel/2 （ERKI/2） and p38MAPK decreased in the presence of curcumin. Moreover, pretreatment with SP600125 （inhibitor of JNK） instead of PD98059 or SB203580 （inhibitor of ERKI/2 or p38MAPK, respectively） decreased the up-regulation of TNF-α induced by palmitate. Conelusion Curcumin reverses palmitate-induced insulin resistance state in 3T3-L1 adipocytes through the NF-kB and JNK pathway.
