The rapid increase of obese population in the United States has made obesity into epidemic proportion. Obesity is a strong risk factor for metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases, cancer and other diseases. Compelling evidence has demonstrated that increased adipose tissue mass is not only the consequence of obesity, but also plays a central role in the development of obesity-associated diseases. Recent studies have profoundly changed the concept of adipose tissue from being an energy depot to an active endocrine organ. The development of obesity alters adipocyte-derived hormones or cytokines expression, which provide a link between obesity and impaired insulin sensitivity and metabolic defects in other tissues. This review summarizes the current knowledge on how major adipose-derived hormones or adipocytokines influence insulin sensitivity. 相似文献

The low-grade inflammation seen with aging is noted particularly in subjects with the metabolic syndrome of aging. Insulin
resistance, obesity/abdominal obesity, and risks for many age-related diseases characterize this common syndrome. It is becoming
clear that this increased adipose tissue is not simply a reservoir for excess nutrients, but rather an active and dynamic
organ capable of expressing several cytokines and other fat-derived peptides (FDP). Some, but not all, FDP may have a role
in development of the metabolic syndrome but there is no evidence that these FDP are causing inflammation directly. We suggest
that high levels of inflammatory peptides are markers for obesity/abdominal obesity seen with aging, but some may not necessarily
have a causative role in the development of inflammation. 相似文献

Resistin- and Obesity-associated metabolic diseases. 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

The link between obesity and diabetes is strong as well as complex. Fat cells produce many circulating regulators of insulin sensitivity, including pro-inflammatory cytokines. In rodents, resistin is produced by adipose tissue, and is a significant regulator of glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity. In humans, resistin is derived made mainly from macrophages. Given the emerging interrelationship between inflammation and metabolic disease, hyperresistinemia may be a biomarker, and/or a mediator, of metabolic and inflammatory diseases in humans as well as in rodents. 相似文献

Mounting evidence has established a role for chronic inflammation in the development of obesity-induced insulin resistance, as genetic ablation of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines elevated in obesity improves insulin signaling in vitro and in vivo. Recent evidence further highlights interleukin (IL)-12 family cytokines as prospective inflammatory mediators linking obesity to insulin resistance. In this study, we present empirical evidence demonstrating that IL-12 family related genes are expressed and regulated in insulin-responsive tissues under conditions of obesity. First, we report that respective mRNAs for each of the known members of this cytokine family are expressed within detectable ranges in WAT, skeletal muscle, liver and heart. Second, we show that these cytokines and their cognate receptors are divergently regulated with genetic obesity in a tissue-specific manner. Third, we demonstrate that select IL-12 family cytokines are regulated in WAT in a manner that is dependent on the developmental stage of obesity as well as the inflammatory progression associated with obesity. Fourth, we report that respective mRNAs for IL-12 cytokines and receptors are also expressed and divergently regulated in cultured adipocytes under conditions of inflammatory stress. To our knowledge, this report is the first study to systemically evaluated mRNA expression of all IL-12 family cytokines and receptors in any tissue under conditions of obesity highlighting select family members as potential mediators linking excess nutrient intake to metabolic diseases such as insulin resistance, diabetes and heart disease. 相似文献

Subjects with metabolic syndrome–a constellation of cardiovascular risk factors of which central obesity and insulin resistance
are the most characteristic–are at increased risk for developing diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease. In these subjects,
abdominal adipose tissue is a source of inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha, known to promote insulin
resistance. The presence of inflammatory cytokines together with the well-documented increased risk for cardiovascular diseases
in patients with inflammatory arthritides and systemic lupus erythematosus has prompted studies to examine the prevalence
of the metabolic syndrome in an effort to identify subjects at risk in addition to that conferred by traditional cardiovascular
risk factors. These studies have documented a high prevalence of metabolic syndrome which correlates with disease activity
and markers of atherosclerosis. The correlation of inflammatory disease activity with metabolic syndrome provides additional
evidence for a link between inflammation and metabolic disturbances/vascular morbidity. 相似文献

Angiopoietin-like proteins: emerging targets for treatment of obesity and related metabolic diseases
Obesity and related metabolic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension and hyperlipidemia are an increasingly prevalent medical and social problem in developed and developing countries. These conditions are associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death. Therefore, it is important to understand the molecular basis underlying obesity and related metabolic diseases in order to develop effective preventive and therapeutic approaches against these conditions. Recently, a family of proteins structurally similar to the angiogenic-regulating factors known as angiopoietins was identified and designated 'angiopoietin-like proteins' (ANGPTLs). Encoded by seven genes, ANGPTL1-7 all possess an N-terminal coiled-coil domain and a C-terminal fibrinogen-like domain, both characteristic of angiopoietins. ANGPTLs do not bind to either the angiopoietin receptor Tie2 or the related protein Tie1, indicating that these ligands function differently from angiopoietins. Like angiopoietins, some ANGPTLs potently regulate angiogenesis, but ANGPTL3, -4 and ANGPTL6/angiopoietin-related growth factor (AGF) directly regulate lipid, glucose and energy metabolism independent of angiogenic effects. Recently, we found that ANGPTL2 is a key adipocyte-derived inflammatory mediator that links obesity to systemic insulin resistance. In this minireview, we focus on the roles of ANGPTL2 and ANGPTL6/AGF in obesity and related metabolic diseases, and discuss the possibility that both could function as molecular targets for the prevention and treatment of obesity and metabolic diseases. 相似文献

Overnutrition is associated with chronic inflammation in metabolic tissues. Whether metabolic inflammation compromises the neural regulatory systems and therefore promotes overnutrition-associated diseases remains unexplored. Here we show that a mediator of metabolic inflammation, IKKbeta/NF-kappaB, normally remains inactive although enriched in hypothalamic neurons. Overnutrition atypically activates hypothalamic IKKbeta/NF-kappaB at least in part through elevated endoplasmic reticulum stress in the hypothalamus. While forced activation of hypothalamic IKKbeta/NF-kappaB interrupts central insulin/leptin signaling and actions, site- or cell-specific suppression of IKKbeta either broadly across the brain or locally within the mediobasal hypothalamus, or specifically in hypothalamic AGRP neurons significantly protects against obesity and glucose intolerance. The molecular mechanisms involved include regulation by IKKbeta/NF-kappaB of SOCS3, a core inhibitor of insulin and leptin signaling. Our results show that the hypothalamic IKKbeta/NF-kappaB program is a general neural mechanism for energy imbalance underlying obesity and suggest that suppressing hypothalamic IKKbeta/NF-kappaB may represent a strategy to combat obesity and related diseases. 相似文献

IntroductionObesity is usually triggered by a nutrient overload that favors adipocyte hypertrophy and increases the number of pro-inflammatory cells and mediators into adipose tissue. These mediators may be regulated by suppressors of cytokine signaling (SOCS), such as SOCS2, which is involved in the regulation of the inflammatory response of many diseases, but its role in obesity is not yet known. We aimed to investigate the role of SOCS2 in metabolic and inflammatory dysfunction induced by a high-refined carbohydrate-containing diet (HC).Material and methodsMale C57BL/6 wild type (WT) and SOCS2 deficient (SOCS2−/−) mice were fed chow or an HC diet for 8 weeks.ResultsIn general, SOCS2 deficient mice, independent of the diet, showed higher adipose tissue mass compared with their WT counterparts that were associated with decreased lipogenesis rate in adipose tissue, lipolysis in adipocyte culture and energy expenditure. An anti-inflammatory profile was observed in adipose tissue of SOCS2−/− by reduced secretion of cytokines, such as TNF and IL-6, and increased M2-like macrophages and regulatory T cells compared with WT mice. Also, SOCS2 deficiency reduced the differentiation/expansion of pro-inflammatory cells in the spleen but increased Th2 and Treg cells compared with their WT counterparts.ConclusionThe SOCS2 protein is an important modulator of obesity that regulates the metabolic pathways related to adipocyte size. Additionally, SOCS2 is an inflammatory regulator that appears to be essential for controlling the release of cytokines and the differentiation/recruitment of cells into adipose tissue during the development of obesity. 相似文献

Obesity is a risk factor for insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. Reticulon-4 (Nogo) is an endoplasmic reticulum–resident protein with unclear functions in obesity. Herein, we investigated the effect of Nogo on obesity and associated metabolic disorders. Human serum samples were collected to explore the relationship between circulating Nogo-B and body mass index value. Nogo-deficient and WT littermate control mice were fed normal chow or high-fat diet (HFD) for 14 weeks, and HFD-induced obese C57BL/6J mice were injected scrambled or Nogo siRNA for 2 weeks. We found that in human and mouse serum, Nogo-B was positively correlated to body mass index/bodyweight and lipid profiles. Reduced Nogo (by genetic deletion or siRNA transfection) protected mice against HFD-induced obesity and related metabolic disorders. We demonstrate that Nogo deficiency reversed HFD-induced whitening of brown adipose tissue, thereby increasing thermogenesis. It also ameliorated lipid accumulation in tissues by activating the adiponectin–adiponectin receptor 1–AMP-activated kinase α signaling axis. Finally, Nogo deficiency potently reduced HFD-induced serum proinflammatory cytokines and infiltration of macrophages into metabolic organs, which is related to enhanced NF-κB p65 degradation via the lysosome pathway. Collectively, our study suggests that reduced levels of Nogo protect mice against HFD-induced obesity by increasing thermogenesis and energy metabolism while inhibiting NF-κB-mediated inflammation. Our results indicate that inhibition of Nogo may be a potential strategy for obesity treatment. 相似文献

An imbalance between caloric intake and energy expenditure leads to obesity. Obesity is an important risk factor for the development of several metabolic diseases including insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and cardiovascular disease. So, controlling obesity could be effective in the improvement of obesity-related diseases. Various factors are involved in obesity, such as AMP-activated protein kinases (AMPK), silent information regulators, inflammatory mediators, oxidative stress parameters, gastrointestinal hormones, adipokines, angiopoietin-like proteins, and microRNAs. These factors play an important role in obesity by controlling fat metabolism, energy homeostasis, food intake, and insulin sensitivity. AMPK is a heterotrimeric serine/threonine protein kinase known as a fuel-sensing enzyme. The central role of AMPK in obesity makes it an attractive molecule to target obesity and related metabolic diseases. In this review, the critical role of AMPK in obesity and the interplay between AMPK and obesity-associated factors were elaborated. 相似文献

Mast cells are critical effectors in the development of allergic diseases and in many immunoglobulin E-mediated immune responses. These cells exert their physiological and pathological activities by releasing granules containing histamine, cytokines, chemokines, and proteases, including mast cell-specific chymase and tryptase. Like macrophages and T lymphocytes, mast cells are inflammatory cells, and they participate in the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases such as cardiovascular complications and metabolic disorders. Recent observations suggested that mast cells are involved in insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Data from animal models proved the direct participation of mast cells in diet-induced obesity and diabetes. Although the mechanisms by which mast cells participate in these metabolic diseases are not fully understood, established mast cell pathobiology in cardiovascular diseases and effective mast cell inhibitor medications used in pre-formed obesity and diabetes in experimental models offer hope to patients with these common chronic inflammatory diseases. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Mast cells in inflammation. 相似文献

The clinical relevance of the term "metabolic syndrome", the definition criteria, and predictive power are being disputed. Inclusion of sleep-disordered breathing and sleep apnoea into a definition of metabolic syndrome is also controversial once children and/or adolescents are affected. Nevertheless, along with the increasing prevalence of childhood obesity, the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome in obese children is reported at 30%, irrespective of the definition applied. Moreover, childhood obesity is associated with sleep-disordered breathing. Adipocytokines, cytokines secreted from adipose tissue, are thought to play a major role in the pathophysiology of metabolic syndrome. Leptin was initially suggested as a promising "anti-obesity" hormone. New concepts indicate that in humans leptin and its soluble receptor may be more important in states of energy deficiency rather than a predictor of the metabolic syndrome. Adiponectin, on the other hand, is not only related to obesity and insulin resistance, but appears to be the strongest predictor for metabolic syndrome, even in children. In newborns and infants, both adipocytokines occur in high concentrations, even though this cannot completely explain the increased risk for ensuing metabolic disease later in life. Finally, low-grade systemic inflammation may underlie the clustering of metabolic risk factors. Overall factors from the adipose tissue may constitute not only markers but also mediators of metabolic sequelae of obesity. 相似文献

Because of its growing prevalence in Western countries, the metabolic syndrome, a common metabolic disorder that clusters a constellation of abnormalities, including central obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia and insulin resistance, is emerging as one of the most important public health problems in the world, taking into account that it is a major risk factor mainly for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, and also for many types of cancer. Although the pathogenesis of this syndrome is complex and not fully understood, obesity and insulin resistance, accompanied by an altered profile of number of hormones and cytokines produced by the adipose tissue, seem to be the main causative agents. A prime therapeutic approach to the prevention and treatment of this syndrome involves lifestyle changes. Among dietary modifications, dietary fiber intake could play an interesting role in the management of metabolic syndrome through different mechanisms related to its dietary sources, specific chemical structure and physical properties, or fermentability in the gut. According to all of these variables, the different types of dietary fibers have been reported to take part in the control of body weight, glucose and lipid homeostasis, insulin sensitivity and in the regulation of many inflammation markers involved in the pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome, and which are also considered to be among its features. 相似文献

During the last decades, there has been a dramatic increase in the prevalence of metabolic diseases, diabetes and obesity, which may be primarily related to changes in diet, lifestyle and behaviour. However, because of the parallel increase in pollution, in the use of chemicals for a variety of purposes, in drug consumption and because of additional evidence showing the involvement of the endocrine system in the regulation of metabolism and body weight, scientists have suspected the implication of endocrine disruptors in the developments of these conditions and diseases. Experimental studies have shown a possible role of diethyl stilbestrol, bisphenol A and dioxins/PCBs in endocrine disruption and obesity and highlighted the importance of exposure during vulnerable states such as the perinatal period. Some epidemiological studies also supported the possible role of these pollutants in metabolic diseases and obesity. Obesity is known to alter the kinetics of persistant organic chemicals such as dioxins and PCBs. These pollutants are stored in the adipose tissue, which may protect other more sensitive organs. However, during drastic weight loss, these pollutants are released in blood and tend to delay the improvement in metabolic parameters that are usually observed following weight loss. In conclusion, certain pollutants appear to play a role in the development of metabolic diseases and obesity, although their relative contribution as compared to other risk factor is unknown. In addition, obesity and weight loss alter the kinetics of certains pollutants and their toxicity. 相似文献

Adenovirus 36 (Ad36) is known to be associated with human obesity and to trigger inflammation in murine models. However, to date no clinical drugs for treating virus‐induced obesity have been developed. Therefore, in this study, the anti‐obesity and anti‐inflammation effects of mulberry extract on Ad36 were evaluated in mice. The mulberry extract‐fed group showed a reduction in total body weight and in epidermal fat pads. A combination of various mulberry components (1‐deoxynojirimycin, kuromanin chloride and resveratrol) and a mulberry extract prevented viral replication by 50% and 70%, respectively, compared with an untreated Ad36‐infected group. Moreover, the extract decreased both concentrations of proinflammatory cytokines, such as MCP‐1 and TNF‐α, and the numbers of infiltrating immune cells and macrophages in epidermal fat pads. In conclusion, dietary mulberry extract might offer an avenue for the development of therapeutic approaches for treating or preventing virus‐induced obesity and inflammation‐related metabolic diseases. 相似文献

Central-omental obesity plays a causative role in the pathogenesis of the metabolic syndrome. Adipokines are involved in the pathogenesis of this syndrome. However, adipokines secreted by omental adipose tissue (OAT) are still poorly characterized in human obesity. Therefore, we searched for novel adipokines abnormally secreted by OAT in obesity and examined their relationships with some features of metabolic syndrome and the respective contribution of adipocytes vs. stromal-vascular cells. OAT from obese and nonobese men was fractionated into adipocytes and SV cells, which were then cultured. Medium was screened by medium-scale protein arrays and ELISAs. Adipokine mRNA levels were measured by real-time RT-qPCR. We detected 16 cytokines secreted by each cellular fraction of lean and obese subjects. Of the 16 cytokines, six adipokines were newly identified as secretory products of OAT, which were dysregulated in obesity: three chemokines (growth-related oncogen factor, RANTES, macrophage inflammatory protein-1beta), one interleukin (IL-7), one tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMP-1), and one growth factor (thrombopoietin). Their secretion and expression were enhanced in obesity, with a relatively similar contribution of the two fractions. The higher proportion of macrophages and endothelial cells in obesity may contribute to this enhanced production as well as changes in intrinsic properties of hypertrophied adipocytes. Accordingly, mRNA concentrations of most of these adipokines increased during adipocyte differentiation. Eventually, expression of the investigated adipokines did correlate with several features of the metabolic syndrome. In conclusion, six adipokines were newly identified as oversecreted by OAT in obesity. These adipokines may link obesity to its cardiovascular or metabolic comorbidities. 相似文献
