Abstract

Chronic inflammation of adipose tissue in obesity is by now an established phenomenon, but the initiating event(s) of the inflammatory cascade are still unknown. We hypothesized that neutrophil infiltration into adipose tissue may precede macrophage infiltration as in classical immune responses. Here we demonstrate that early (3 and 7 days) after initiating high-fat feeding of C57BL/6J mice, neutrophils transiently infiltrate the parenchyma of intra-abdominal adipose tissue. Mean periepdidymal fat myeloperoxidase expression (representing neutrophils) was significantly increased 3.5-fold (P < 0.01) and 2.9-fold (P < 0.03), at days 3 and 7 compared with day 0. Immunohistochemistry analysis demonstrated a physical binding between neutrophils and adipocytes, which was supported by in vitro adherence assay: mouse peritoneal neutrophils adhered to a monolayer of 3T3-L1 mouse adipocytes, in a manner dependent on their activation state, 41.9 +/- 3.7% or 29.5 +/- 2%, by PMA or the IL-8 analog CXCL1 (KC), respectively, compared with 24.8 +/- 1.5% in unstimulated neutrophils, respectively. The degree of surface exposure of CD11b (Mac-1) corresponded to the percentage of adhered neutrophils. The adherence was prevented by preincubating neutrophils or adipocytes with anti-CD11b or anti-ICAM-1 antibodies. Furthermore, immunoprecipitation of CD11b from lysates of a mixed neutrophil-adipocyte cell population resulted in coimmunoprecipitation of ICAM-1, indicating that the interaction is mediated by neutrophil CD11b and adipocyte ICAM-1.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
