Monocyte heterogeneity in obesity and subclinical atherosclerosis

Abstract: Our results reveal a significant univariate association between CD16(+) monocytes and both obesity and subclinical atherosclerosis in low-risk individuals. They are in line with recent observations that CD16(+) monocytes show high endothelial affinity and a potent capacity to invade vascular lesions and to transform into pro-inflammatory cytokine producing macrophages.

“…Multiple studies in nondiabetics suggest a positive correlation between the proportion of circulating CD14 lo /CD16 ϩ monocytes and proinflammatory markers or carotid intimamedia thickness (3,4,48), but no significant differences are found in the mean percentages of CD14 lo /CD16 ϩ monocytes between patients with uncomplicated diabetes, diabetics with cardiovascular disease, and control subjects (5). In this study of diabetic patients, classification of monocyte subtypes based on CD14 and CD16 expression did not correlate with 25(OH)D level or with functional adhesion, suggesting that different monocyte markers could better characterize the functions con-FIGURE 6.…”

“…Nearly 26 million Americans suffer from type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), 4 a disease with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of morbidity and premature mortality in Western populations (1). Very little is known about the mechanisms by which insulin resistance and chronic inflammation promote vascular complications in patients with T2DM.…”

“…Chez l'homme, des premiers travaux ont révélé que les cellules mononucléées circulantes expriment un statut pro-inflammatoire chez les sujets obèses [20]. Plus récemment, une étude clinique indique que la fréquence d'une sous-population de monocytes CD14 dim CD16 + récemment identifiée est augmentée chez des sujets en surpoids [21]. Cette souspopulation monocytaire pourrait contribuer préféren-tiellement à l'accumulation des macrophages dans le tissu adipeux.…”
