Recent hypothesis suggests that hyperglycemic food reduces nuclear forkhead box-O1 (FoxO1) transcription factor and may eventually induces acne. The aim of our study was to investigate the role of IGF-1 and insulin on the phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt/FoxO1 pathway in human primary T cells and on the molecular functions of T cells <i>in vitro</i>. T cells were stimulated with 0.001 μM IGF-1 or 1 μM insulin +/- 20 μM PI3K inhibitor LY294002. T cells were also exposed to SZ95 sebocyte supernatants which were pre-stimulated with IGF-1 or insulin. We found that 0.001 µM IGF-1 and 1 µM insulin activate the PI3K pathway in T cells leading to up-regulation of p-Akt and p-FoxO1 at 15 and 30 minutes. Nuclear FoxO1 was decreased and FoxO transcriptional activity was reduced. 0.001 µM IGF-1 and 1 µM insulin increased T cell proliferation but have no significant effect on Toll-like receptor2/4 (TLR) expression. Interestingly, supernatants from IGF-1- or insulin-stimulated sebocytes activated the PI3K pathway in T cells but reduced T cell proliferation. Taken together, this study helps to support that high glycemic load diet may contribute to induce activation of the PI3K pathway and increase of proliferation in human primary T cells.
