Abstract

The obesity epidemic is the underlying driver of the type 2 diabetes mellitus epidemic. A remarkable accumulation of various pro-inflammatory immune cells in adipose tissues is a hallmark of obesity and leads to pathogenesis of tissue inflammation and insulin resistance. Here, we describe a detailed protocol to isolate adipose tissue stromal vascular cells (SVCs), which enrich various immune cells of adipose tissues. These SVCs can be used to examine the population and activation status of immune cells by tracking their cell surface antigens, gene expression, and activation of specific signaling pathways.

Background

Over the past several decades, obesity is now an epidemic and has become one of the most common causes of insulin resistance. Insulin resistance is the key etiology for the pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome. Prolonged status of metabolic syndrome drives the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) (Romeo et al., 2012; Johnson and Olefsky, 2013; Saltiel and Olefsky, 2017).

Chronic low-degree tissue inflammation, accompanied by enhanced immune cell infiltration, is a hallmark of obesity in both rodent and human and is a major causal factor for the pathogenesis of insulin resistance through promoting the inflammation status and interrupting the insulin signalling (Romeo et al., 2012; Johnson and Olefsky, 2013; Saltiel and Olefsky, 2017). The infiltrated immune cells such as pro-inflammatory macrophages and B cells play critical roles in modulating obesity-associated adipose tissue inflammation and insulin resistance (Weisberg et al., 2003; Winer et al., 2011). Chronic nutrient excess drives adipose tissue macrophages (ATMs) to undergo a unique phenotypic switch from anti-inflammatory M2-like activation in lean adipose tissue to a more pro-inflammatory M1-like activation state in obese tissues (Lumeng et al., 2007; Nguyen et al., 2007; Lumeng et al., 2008). Pro-inflammatory M1-like ATMs contribute to the development of tissue inflammation and systemic insulin resistance in obesity. Our recent study also demonstrates that leukotriene B4 (LTB4)-induced recruitment and activation of adipose tissue B2 (ATB2) cells can cause obesity-induced insulin resistance (Ying et al., 2017). In this protocol, we provide a step-by-step procedure to isolate stromal vascular cells from adipose tissue and characterize various immune cells in adipose tissues.
