tailieunhanh - Dietary lipids accumulate in macrophages and stromal cells and change the microarchitecture of mesenteric lymph nodes
In obesity, increased dietary lipids are taken up and transported by the lymphatic systems into the circulatory system. Increased fat accumulation results in impairments in the lymph fluid and lymph node (LN) atrophy. LNs filter the lymph fluid for foreign antigens to induce and control immune responses, and the alteration of this function during obesity remains underexplored. Here, the changes within the microarchitecture of mesenteric LNs (mLNs) during high levels of lipid transport were investigated, and the role of stromal cells in mice fed a high-fat diet for 10 weeks was assessed. Microarray experiments revealed that gene probes involved in lipid metabolism are expressed by mLN stromal cells. Transmission electron microscopy enabled the identification of lipid droplets in lymphatic endothelial cells, different reticulum cells, and macrophages, and the lipid droplet sizes as well as their numbers and intercellular distances increased after 10 weeks of high-fat diet feeding. | Dietary lipids accumulate in macrophages and stromal cells and change the microarchitecture of mesenteric lymph nodes
