| Research Abstract |
Obesity induces active inflammatory processes in adipose tissue. In these processes macrophages alter their phenotypes and act as central effector cells. To elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying the changes in macrophage phenotypes, this study focused on the macrophage trafficking to and from adipose tissue. We developed a novel method to analyze trafficking of adipose tissue macrophages and identified factors that promote the egression of macrophages. We also identified S100 proteins as a regulator of macrophage trafficking.
