Oxidative and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress are involved in mediating high-fat diet (HFD)-induced insulin resistance. As the ER-localized methionine sulfoxide reductase B3 (MsrB3) protects cells against oxidative and ER stress, we hypothesized that MsrB3 might be associated with HFD-induced insulin resistance. To test this hypothesis, we examined the effect of MsrB3 deficiency on HFD-induced insulin resistance using MsrB3 knockout (KO) mice. Mice were fed a control diet or HFD for 12 weeks and insulin sensitivity was measured using a hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp. HFD consumption increased the body weight of both wild-type and MsrB3 KO mice, and no significant difference was observed between the genotypes. The HFD increased oxidative stress and induced insulin resistance in the skeletal muscle of wild-type mice, but did not affect either in MsrB3 KO mice. The unfolded protein response (UPR) was increased in MsrB3 KO mice upon consumption of HFD, but not in wild-type mice. Mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation proteins and the levels of superoxide dismutase 2 and glutathione peroxidase 1 were increased in MsrB3 KO mice upon HFD consumption. The respiratory control ratio was reduced in wild-type mice consuming HFD but not in MsrB3 KO mice. The levels of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase kinase β, phosphorylated AMP-activated protein kinase, and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1α were increased in MsrB3 KO mice following HFD consumption. These results suggest that MsrB3 deficiency inhibits HFD-induced insulin resistance, and the increased mitochondrial biogenesis and antioxidant induction might be the mechanisms underlying this phenomenon.
