quality control system and mitochondria-associated
membrane, plays a key role in mitochondrial homeostasis. In this study,
we assessed the roles of GRP75, other than as a component, in insulin action in
both in vitro and in vivo models with insulin resistance.
We found that GRP75 was downregulated in HFD-fed mice, and induction of Grp75 in mice could prevent HFD induced
obesity and insulin resistance. Mechanistically, GRP75 influenced insulin
sensitivity by regulating mitochondrial function through its modulation of
mitochondrial-supercomplex turnover rather than MAM communication: GRP75 was
negatively associated with respiratory-chain complex activity and was essential
for mitochondrial-supercomplex assembly and stabilization. Moreover,
mitochondrial dysfunction in Grp75-knockdown
cells might further increase mitochondrial fragmentation, thus trigger
cytosolic mitochondrial DNA release and activate the cGAS/STING-dependent
pro-inflammatory response. Therefore,
GRP75 can serve as a potential therapeutic target of insulin resistant-related
diabetes or other metabolic diseases.
