Tóm tắt

The transition from metabolically healthy obesity to the development of obesity-associated metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease is thought to be triggered by a loss in the functional integrity of adipose tissue. While mature adipocytes are the primary functional units that carry out lipid partitioning in adipose tissue for the promotion of whole-body energy balance, they are supported by a heterogenous collection non-adipocytes in the stroma. Research over the past couple of decades has expanded perspectives on the homeostatic and pathological roles of the non-adipocyte compartment. Adipose progenitors originate in the embryonic period and drive the developmental adipogenesis that establishes the setpoint of adiposity. A population of adipocyte progenitors reside in adult depots and serve an important homeostatic role as a reservoir to support adipocyte turnover. Adipocyte hypertrophy in obesity increases the rate of adipocyte death and the ability of progenitors to support this high rate of adipocyte turnover is important for the preservation of the lipid buffering function of adipose tissue. Some evidence exists to suggest that impaired adipogenesis or a decline in progenitors capable of differentiation is a key event in the development of adipose dysfunction. The efficiency of macrophages to clear the debris and toxic lipids released from dead adipocytes lies at the fulcrum between preservation of adipose function and the progression towards chronic inflammation. While macrophages in collaboration with other immune cells propagate the inflammation that underlies adipose dysfunction, there is now a greater appreciation for the diverse and unique roles of immune cells within adipose tissue.
