Abstract
Adipocyte hypertrophy is a critical contributor to obesity-induced inflammation and insulin resistance. This study employed a human adipocyte hypertrophy model to investigate the adipokine release, inflammatory responses, and the intracellular singling pathways. Hypertrophic adipocytes exhibited increased lipid content and lipolysis, a decline of anti-inflammatory adipokine adiponectin release and an increase of pro-inflammatory adipokine leptin release compared to mature adipocytes. Moreover, TNFα and LPS exacerbated the decrease in adiponectin secretion by hypertrophic adipocytes while promoting the secretion of leptin, MCP-1 and IL-6, which is associated with impaired activation of p38 and JNK MAPK and persistent activation of ERK and IκBα in hypertrophic adipocytes. These altered adipokine secretions and inflammatory responses within hypertrophic adipocytes may contribute to adipocyte dysfunction in human obesity.
期刊介绍：
Adipocyte recognizes that the adipose tissue is the largest endocrine organ in the body, and explores the link between dysfunctional adipose tissue and the growing number of chronic diseases including diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease and cancer. Historically, the primary function of the adipose tissue was limited to energy storage and thermoregulation. However, a plethora of research over the past 3 decades has recognized the dynamic role of the adipose tissue and its contribution to a variety of physiological processes including reproduction, angiogenesis, apoptosis, inflammation, blood pressure, coagulation, fibrinolysis, immunity and general metabolic homeostasis. The field of Adipose Tissue research has grown tremendously, and Adipocyte is the first international peer-reviewed journal of its kind providing a multi-disciplinary forum for research focusing exclusively on all aspects of adipose tissue physiology and pathophysiology. Adipocyte accepts high-profile submissions in basic, translational and clinical research.
