Abstract: AIM: To discuss the influence of palmitic acid to TLRs and inflammatory factors of C2C12 cells, and analyze the relationship between insulin resistance (IR) and immuno-inflammation induced by TLRs. METHODS: Palmitic acid in different concentration was co-cultured with C2C12 cells for 16 hours, after that, the consumption of glucose was analyzed to estimate the cell model of IR, TLR1-5 mRNA was observed with real-time PCR and the contents of TNF-α and IFN-β were measured with ELISA method. RESULTS: Palmitic acid decreased the glucose consumption of cells, showed IR character. It also obviously induced the hyper-expression of TLR2,TLR4 mRNA and increased the amount of TNF-α and IFN-β, but had no influence to that of TLR1, TLR3 and TLR5 mRNA.CONCLUSION: Palmitic acid stimulation induced the formation of IR, this may due to the hyper-expression of TLR2, TLR4 and the inflammation which was induced by TLRs and their signaling transdution pathway..

Key words: Palmitic acid, Insulin resistance, Toll-like receptor, TNF-α, IFN-β
