Insulin resistance (IR) is the key pathophysiological cause of type 2 diabetes, and inflammation has been implicated in it. The death domain (DD) of the adaptor protein, MyD88 plays a crucial role in the transduction of TLR4-associated inflammatory signal. Herein, we have identified a 10-residue peptide (M10), from the DD of MyD88 which seems to be involved in Myddosome formation. We hypothesized that M10 could inhibit MyD88-dependent TLR4-signaling and might have effects on inflammation-associated IR. Intriguingly, 10-mer M10 showed oligomeric nature and reversible self-assembly property indicating the peptide's ability to recognize its own amino acid sequence. M10 inhibited LPS-induced nuclear translocation of NF-κB in L6 myotubes and also reduced LPS-induced IL-6 and TNF-α production in peritoneal macrophages of BALB/c mice. Remarkably, M10 inhibited IL-6 and TNF-α secretion in diabetic, db/db mice. Notably, M10 abrogated IR in insulin-resistant L6 myotubes, which was associated with an increase in glucose uptake and a decrease in Ser307-phosphorylation of IRS1, TNF-α-induced JNK activation and nuclear translocation of NF-κB in these cells. Alternate day dosing with M10 (10 and 20 mg/kg) for 30 days in db/db mice significantly lowered blood glucose and improved glucose intolerance after loading, 3.0 g/kg glucose orally. Furthermore, M10 increased insulin and adiponectin secretion in db/db mice. M10-induced glucose uptake in L6 myotubes involved the activation of PI3K/AKT/GLUT4 pathways. A scrambled M10-analog was mostly inactive. Overall, the results show the identification of a 10-mer peptide from the DD of MyD88 with anti-inflammatory and anti-diabetic properties, suggesting that targeting of TLR4-inflammatory pathway, could lead to the discovery of molecules against IR and diabetes.
