Macrophage Polarization in Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes: Weighing Down Our Understanding of Macrophage Function?
Obesity and type 2 diabetes are now recognized as chronic pro-inflammatory diseases. In the last decade, the role of the macrophage in particular has become increasingly implicated in their pathogenesis. Abundant literature now establishes that monocytes get recruited to peripheral tissues (i.e., pancreas, liver, and adipose tissue) to become resident macrophages and contribute to local inflamm...
متن کاملObesity/Type II diabetes alters macrophage polarization resulting in a fibrotic tendon healing response
Type II Diabetes (T2DM) dramatically impairs the tendon healing response, resulting in decreased collagen organization and mechanics relative to non-diabetic tendons. Despite this burden, there remains a paucity of information regarding the mechanisms that govern impaired healing of diabetic tendons. Mice were placed on either a high fat diet (T2DM) or low fat diet (lean) and underwent flexor t...
متن کاملSOCS Proteins in Macrophage Polarization and Function
INTRODUCTION Macrophages were initially described as “big eaters” due to their phagocytic nature. It is now clear that macrophages have many diverse functions not only in innate immunity and tissue homeostasis but also in metabolism, development, and regeneration. Macrophage functions are driven largely by tissue-derived and pathogenic microenvironmental stimuli that help them adapt to changing...
متن کاملOverview of Macrophage Polarization Phenotypes in Atherosclerosis Despite major advances in our understanding of the various functions of macrophages in atherosclerotic lesions, what actually determines macrophage phenotypic polarization
Overview of Macrophage Polarization Phenotypes in Atherosclerosis Despite major advances in our understanding of the various functions of macrophages in atherosclerotic lesions, what actually determines macrophage phenotypic polarization during lesion development remains enigmatic. It is generally accepted that the tissue microenvironment determines macrophage phenotypic polarization. That is, ...
متن کاملP130: The Role of Rho-Kinase (ROCK) in Microglia/Macrophage Polarization in Neuroinflammatory Diseases
Macrophage/microglia with heterogonous phenotype and function under physiological and pathological conditions are the main cell lineage involved in inducing immune responses in neuroinflammatory diseases which exhibit combined inflammatory and anti-inflammatory functions. An increase in the expression of iNOS triggers M1 phenotype that secrete high concentrations of inflammatory cytokines, whil...
