Indeed, unresolved systemic and adipose tissue inflammation drives obesity-related cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Drugs targeting pro-inflammatory cytokine pathways or inflammasome activation have been approved for clinical use for the past two decades. However, potentially serious adverse effects, such as drug-induced weight gain and increased susceptibility to infections, prevented their wider clinical implementation. Furthermore, these drugs do not modulate the resolution phase of inflammation. This phase is an active process orchestrated by specialized pro-resolving mediators, such as lipoxins, and other endogenous resolution mechanisms. Pro-resolving mediators mitigate inflammation and development of obesity-related disease, for instance, alleviating insulin resistance and atherosclerosis in experimental disease models, so mechanisms to modulate their activity are, therefore, of great therapeutic interest. Here, we review current clinical attempts to either target pro-inflammatory mediators (IL-1β, NOD-, LRR- and pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome, tumour necrosis factor (TNF) and IL-6) or utilize endogenous resolution pathways to reduce obesity-related inflammation and improve cardiometabolic outcomes. A remaining challenge in the field is to establish more precise biomarkers that can differentiate between acute and chronic inflammation and to assess the functionality of individual leukocyte populations. Such advancements would improve the monitoring of drug effects and support personalized treatment strategies that battle obesity-related inflammation and cardiometabolic disease.</p>","PeriodicalId":18916,"journal":{"name":"Nature Reviews Endocrinology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":40.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142488981","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Besides mediating normal bone physiology, they also have important roles in various metabolic bone diseases, including osteoporosis. SSPCs are of tremendous interest because they represent prime future targets for osteoanabolic therapies and bone regenerative medicine. Remarkable progress has been made in characterizing various SSC and SSPC populations in postnatal bone. SSPCs exist in the periosteum and within the bone marrow stroma, including subsets localizing around arteriolar and sinusoidal blood vessels; they can display osteogenic, chondrogenic, adipogenic and/or fibroblastic potential, and exert critical haematopoiesis-supportive functions. However, much remains to be clarified. By the current markers, bona fide SSCs are commonly contained within broader SSPC populations characterized by considerable heterogeneity and overlap, whose common versus specific functions in health and disease have not been fully unravelled.

Primary growth hormone (GH) deficiency is associated with MASLD, and the decline in circulating levels of GH with weight gain might contribute to the development of MASLD. Raising endogenous GH secretion or administering GH replacement therapy in the context of MASLD enhances insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) production and reduces steatosis and the severity of liver injury. GH and IGF1 indirectly control MASLD progression by regulating systemic metabolic function. Evidence supports the proposal that GH and IGF1 also have a direct role in regulating liver metabolism and health. This Review focuses on how GH acts on the hepatocyte in a sex-dependent manner to limit lipid accumulation, reduce stress, and promote survival and regeneration. In addition, we discuss how GH and IGF1 might regulate non-parenchymal cells of the liver to control inflammation and fibrosis, which have a major effect on hepatocyte survival and regeneration. Development of a better understanding of how GH and IGF1 coordinate the functions of specific, individual liver cell types might provide insight into the aetiology of MASLD initiation and progression and suggest novel approaches for the treatment of MASLD.</p>","PeriodicalId":18916,"journal":{"name":"Nature Reviews Endocrinology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":40.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142317017","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
