| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Obesity and type 2 diabetes are now considered systemic immunological diseases. Many types of immune cells, such as T cells, B cells, NK cells or Eosinophils, in adipose tissues may play a crucial role in the development of obesity-induced insulin resistance by affecting the infiltration and activation of adipose tissue macrophages. Neutrophils may also have an important role in obesity-induced adipose tissue inflammation and systemic insulin resistance.
We found that the neutrophil number in mouse adipose tissue was increased by the refed stimulation after fasted, which meant these cells infiltrated into fat in dynamic way. The adipose tissue neutrophils showed specific character compare to spleen neutrophils by the RNA sequencing method. The adipose tissue neutrophils from obese mice were different in their character from those from lean mice.
