Role for BLT1 in regulating inflammation within adipose tissue immune cells of aged mice.
Background: Aging is a complex biological process characterized by obesity and immunosenescence throughout the organism. Immunosenescence involves a decline in immune function and the increase in chronic-low grade inflammation, called inflammaging. Adipose tissue expansion, particularly that of visceral adipose tissue (VAT), is associated with an increase in pro-inflammatory macrophages that play an important role in modulating immune responses and producing inflammatory cytokines. The leukotriene B4 receptor 1 (BLT1) is a regulator of obesity-induced inflammation. Its ligand, LTB4, acts as a chemoattractant for immune cells and induces inflammation. Studies have shown that BLT1 is crucial for cytokine production during lipopolysaccharide (LPS) endotoxemia challenge in younger organisms. However, the expression patterns and function of BLT1 in older organisms remains unknown.
Results: In this study, we investigated BLT1 expression in immune cell subsets within the VAT of aged male and female mice. Moreover, we examined how antagonizing BLT1 signaling could alter the inflammatory response to LPS in aged mice. Our results demonstrate that aged mice exhibit increased adiposity and inflammation, characterized by elevated frequencies of B and T cells, along with pro-inflammatory macrophages in VAT. BLT1 expression is the highest in VAT macrophages. LPS and LTB4 treatment result in increased BLT1 in young and aged bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs). However, LTB4 treatment resulted in amplified Il6 from aged, but not young BMDMs. Treatment of aged mice with the BLT1 antagonist, U75302, followed by LPS-induced endotoxemia resulted in an increase in anti-inflammatory macrophages, reduced phosphorylated NFκB and reduced Il6.
Conclusions: This study provides valuable insights into the age- and sex- specific changes in BLT1 expression on immune cell subsets within VAT. This study offers support for the potential of BLT1 in modulating inflammation in aging.
期刊介绍：
Immunity & Ageing is a specialist open access journal that was first published in 2004. The journal focuses on the impact of ageing on immune systems, the influence of aged immune systems on organismal well-being and longevity, age-associated diseases with immune etiology, and potential immune interventions to increase health span. All articles published in Immunity & Ageing are indexed in the following databases: Biological Abstracts, BIOSIS, CAS, Citebase, DOAJ, Embase, Google Scholar, Journal Citation Reports/Science Edition, OAIster, PubMed, PubMed Central, Science Citation Index Expanded, SCImago, Scopus, SOCOLAR, and Zetoc.
