A role for preadipocytes as macrophage-like cellsB Cousin
ESA 5018 UPS CNRS, IFR 31, CHU Rangueil, 31403 Toulouse Cedex, France
FASEB J 13:305-12. 1999..These results suggest that preadipocytes could function as macrophage-like cells and raise the possibility of a potential direct involvement of adipose tissue in inflammatory processes...
Altered macrophage-like functions of preadipocytes in inflammation and genetic obesityB Cousin
UMR 5018 UPS CNRS, IFR 31, CHU Rangueil, Bat L1, Avenue J Poulhès, 31403 Toulouse Cedex, France
J Cell Physiol 186:380-6. 2001..This work demonstrated that SVF immune functions could be modified in different pathological situations such as inflammation and obesity and sustained the new physiological role of preadipocytes in these processes...
Weight-dependent changes of immune system in adipose tissue: importance of leptinS Caspar-Bauguil
UMR 5018 CNRS UPS, IFR 31, CHU Rangueil, TSA 50032, 31059 Toulouse Cedex 9, France
Exp Cell Res 312:2195-202. 2006..The present study suggests that adipose tissues present, according to their localization, different immunological mechanisms that might be involved in the regulation of adipose cells functions and proliferations...
Adipose tissues display differential phagocytic and microbicidal activities depending on their localizationJ A Villena
UMR 5018, UPS-CNRS, IFR 31, Toulouse, France
Int J Obes Relat Metab Disord 25:1275-80. 2001..A differential responsiveness of adipose pads to infections and inflammatory situations due to the specific phagocytic ability of their SVF cells was thus proposed...
Emergence during development of the white-adipocyte cell phenotype is independent of the brown-adipocyte cell phenotypeK Moulin
UMR-CNRS 5018, IFR 31, Bat L1, CHU Rangueil, 31054 Toulouse, France
Biochem J 356:659-64. 2001..These data represent the first direct experimental proof that, during normal development, most white adipocytes do not derive from brown adipocytes...
Adipose tissues as an ancestral immune organ: site-specific change in obesityS Caspar-Bauguil
UMR 5018 CNRS-UPS, IFR 31, CHU Rangueil, TSA 50032, 31059 Toulouse Cedex 9, France
FEBS Lett 579:3487-92. 2005..These data support the notion that adipose tissue may elaborate immunological mechanisms to regulate its functions which might be altered in obesity...
[Adipose tissue, plastic and reconstructive surgery: come back to sources]L Casteilla
UMR 5018 CNRS UPS, IFR31, TSA 50032, IFR31, Bat L1, CHU de Rangueil, 1, avenue Poulhes, 31059 Toulouse 09, France
Ann Chir Plast Esthet 49:409-18. 2004..These spectacular data, the fact that adipose tissue is easy to sample and the possibility to create cell or tissue banks open numerous and promising perspectives in regenerative medicine...
Human adipose cells as candidates in defense and tissue remodeling phenomenaC Saillan-Barreau
UMR 5018 CNRS-UPS, Institut Louis Bugnard, CHU Rangueil, Bat L1, 31403 Toulouse, France
Biochem Biophys Res Commun 309:502-5. 2003..This gives support for some observations linking obesity or cachexia to immunological disorders...
Tumor necrosis factor-alpha stimulates HIV-1 production in primary culture of human adipocytesT Maurin
U526 Laboratoire de Virologie, Faculte de Medecine, av de Valombrose, 06107 Nice Cedex 2, France
Exp Cell Res 304:544-51. 2005..Taken together, these results demonstrate that HIV-1 does infect human adipose cells in vitro and suggest that the initial limited infection can be overcome upon pro-inflammatory cytokine treatment...
Plasticity of adipose tissue: a promising therapeutic avenue in the treatment of cardiovascular and blood diseases?L Casteilla
UMR 5018 CNRS UPS, Institut Louis Bugnard, Toulouse, France
Arch Mal Coeur Vaiss 98:922-6. 2005..They highlight the concept that progenitor cells from adipose tissue constitute an alternative for cells-based strategies designed for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases...
