Apoptosis is probably the main form of ß-cell death in both type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and T2DM. In T1DM, cytokines contribute to ß-cell destruction through nuclear factor-{kappa}B (NF-{kappa}B) activation. Previous studies suggested that in T2DM high glucose and free fatty acids (FFAs) are ß-cell toxic also via NF-{kappa}B activation. The aims of this study were to clarify whether common mechanisms are involved in FFA- and cytokine-induced ß-cell apoptosis and determine whether TNF{alpha}, an adipocyte-derived cytokine, potentiates FFA toxicity through enhanced NF-{kappa}B activation. Apoptosis was induced in insulinoma (INS)-1E cells, rat islets, and fluorescence-activated cell sorting-purified ß-cells by oleate, palmitate, and/or cytokines (IL-1ß, interferon-{gamma}, TNF{alpha}). Palmitate and IL-1ß induced a similar percentage of apoptosis in INS-1E cells, whereas oleate was less toxic. TNF{alpha} did not potentiate FFA toxicity in primary ß-cells. The NF-{kappa}B-dependent genes inducible nitric oxide synthase and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 were induced by IL-1ß but not by FFAs. Cytokines activated NF-{kappa}B in INS-1E and ß-cells, but FFAs did not. Moreover, FFAs did not enhance NF-{kappa}B activation by TNF{alpha}. Palmitate and oleate induced C/EBP homologous protein, activating transcription factor-4, and immunoglobulin heavy chain binding protein mRNAs, X-box binding protein-1 alternative splicing, and activation of the activating transcription factor-6 promoter in INS-1E cells, suggesting that FFAs trigger an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response. We conclude that apoptosis is the main mode of FFA- and cytokine-induced ß-cell death but the mechanisms involved are different. Whereas cytokines induce NF-{kappa}B activation and ER stress (secondary to nitric oxide formation), FFAs activate an ER stress response via an NF-{kappa}B- and nitric oxide-independent mechanism. Our results argue against a unifying hypothesis for the mechanisms of ß-cell death in T1DM and T2DM.
