| 摘要 |
Adipose stem cell hierarchy was delineated by scRNA-seq analysis, revealing that ICAM-1, a glycoprotein that mediates cell-cell interaction, is a preadipocyte marker. However, the cellular and molecular mechanisms of how ICAM-1+ preadipocytes contribute to adipose tissue homeostasis in vivo remain unclear. To address this, Icam1+/CreERT2 mice were generated, and it was demonstrated that ICAM-1-expressing progenitors actively participated in developing and remodeling white adipose tissue. Under a high-fat diet, both proliferation and adipogenic differentiation of ICAM-1+ preadipocytes increased significantly. Interestingly, ICAM-1 plays a critical role in maintaining the interaction between preadipocytes and immune cells, acting as a checkpoint on white adipogenesis. Mice lacking ICAM-1 specifically in stromal cells exhibited worsened hyperplastic obesity, showing heightened fatty acid synthesis and lipid storage in adipose tissue, and the related insulin resistance. In human adipose tissue, ICAM-1 also marked committed preadipocytes and mediated adhesion between preadipocytes and immune cells. Thus, our study shows that ICAM-1 marks preadipocytes and curbs adipogenesis by facilitating adhesion between preadipocytes and immune cells. |
