Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein-1 Release Is Higher in Visceral than Subcutaneous Human Adipose Tissue (AT): Implication of Macrophages Resident in the AT

Abstract: MCP-1 is correlated with specific macrophage markers, adiposity, and AT localization, but the relationship seems to be related to the number of AT-resident macrophages. Despite this, MCP-1 may be involved in obesity-related health complications, and the decrease of MCP-1 by metformin and thiazolidinediones suggests that these antidiabetic compounds have antiinflammatory properties improving the low-grade inflammatory state observed in obesity.

“…Macrophages reside within adipose tissue, as a function of obesity and/or insulin resistance, and generate many of the same cytokines [9,10,28]. The attraction of monocytes to adipose tissue may be due to local production of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 [13,29]. Adipocytes enhance chemotaxis and diapedesis of monocytes, via the regulation of endothelial cell adhesion molecules, promoting their infiltration into adipose tissue as macrophages [12].…”

“…It appears that macrophages and adipose cells may influence each other via paracrine mediators or direct cellular processes [11]. For example, diapedesis and the infiltration of monocytes and their differentiation into macrophages in adipose tissue were shown to be modulated by factors secreted by adipose cells [12,13]. Macrophages have also recently been implicated in scavenging dying adipocytes [14].…”

“…Firstly, VAT to a greater extent than SAT secretes several pro-inflammatory insulin-desensitising cytokines, including TNFα and IL-6 (85,86) . As a result, macrophages, T-cells and dendritic cells are recruited to VAT via various signals, including chemokines synthesised by adipocytes (87)(88)(89) .…”

“…In fact, EAT and PAT are associated with multiple markers of inflammation, vascular dysfunction, and oxidative stress, including C-reactive protein, fibrinogen, intracellular adhesion molecule-1, interleukin-6, MCP-1, P-selectin, tumor necrosis factor receptor-2, and urinary isoprostanes, vascular endothelial growth factor, and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (23)(24)(25). Increased levels of the chemokine MCP-1 in visceral adipose tissue attract more monocytes and macrophages, inducing a self-sustaining inflammatory cycle (26,27).…”
