Role of macrophage tissue infiltration in metabolic diseases

Abstract: This review summarizes recent data on the characterization of the macrophage population in fat tissue. Their origin, fate and activation will be considered. The potential involvement of adipose tissue macrophages in the development of insulin resistance and vascular pathologies, as well as in the control of adipose tissue growth and metabolism, will be examined.

“…The maximal differentiation response of the omental preadipocytes was somewhat lower than that of subcutaneous preadipocytes as observed by others [20,26]. Interestingly, omental/visceral adipose tissue contains more macrophages than does subcutaneous fat in obese rodents and humans [11]. Also adipose tissue possesses anatomical site-specific properties [33], and these could potentially influence interactions with macrophages.…”

“…It appears that macrophages and adipose cells may influence each other via paracrine mediators or direct cellular processes [11]. For example, diapedesis and the infiltration of monocytes and their differentiation into macrophages in adipose tissue were shown to be modulated by factors secreted by adipose cells [12,13].…”

“…Moreover, we stated an important role for post-translational modifications in the regulation of ER stress [26,27]. Activation of ER stress induces an increased release of NEFA, adipokines and inflammatory mediators [28,29], triggering infiltration and activation of macrophages in adipose tissue, contributing to insulin resistance [30,31]. These infiltrating immune cells further stimulate secretion of adipokines from adipocytes [31] and secrete pro-inflammatory cytokines of which TNFα and IL-6 are implicated in the induction of insulin resistance [32,33].…”

These infiltrating immune cells further stimulate secretion of adipokines from adipocytes [31] and secrete pro-inflammatory cytokines of which TNFα and IL-6 are implicated in the induction of insulin resistance [32,33]. The absence of inflammation around the hypertrophic adipocytes of Chop −/− mice contrasts with the increased numbers of resident macrophages in adipose tissue of obese individuals [34] and suggests that CHOP provides a crucial proinflammatory signal in fat.…”

“…Adipose tissue of obese subjects is characterized by increased macrophage infiltration and overexpression of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines (7,10,12). Liver fat has been shown to be associated with increased gene expression of macrophage-specific cell surface markers such as CD68 (18,25) and an increased number of macrophages (10,18) in adipose tissue.…”
