Perivascular Adipose Tissue Harbors Atheroprotective IgM-Producing B Cells

Abstract: Adipose tissue surrounding major arteries (Perivascular adipose tissue or PVAT) has long been thought to exist to provide vessel support and insulation. Emerging evidence suggests that PVAT regulates artery physiology and pathology, such as, promoting atherosclerosis development through local production of inflammatory cytokines. Yet the immune subtypes in PVAT that regulate inflammation are poorly characterized. B cells have emerged as important immune cells in the regulation of visceral adipose tissue inflam… Show more

“…B cells contribute to disease pathogenesis in autoimmunity by presenting antigens as well as stimulation via cytokines to T cells [17-21]. B cells also play an immunomodulatory role in regulating the immune response by secreting cytokines that inhibit disease onset and/or progression [10, 22].…”

“…While much of the interest in PVAT biology centers on its ability to promote inflammation and atherosclerosis in obesity, interestingly, healthy PVAT may be home to immune cells that attenuate atherosclerosis development. B-1 cell-derived IgM has been shown to attenuate pro-inflammatory cytokine production by M1 macrophages in visceral adipose tissue [29]. Srikakulapu et al [29] demonstrated that in young ApoE-deficient mice, B-1 cells abundantly secreting IgM were present at surprisingly higher numbers in PVAT compared with aorta, and the PVAT B-1/B-2 ratio suggests an anti-inflammatory influence of PVAT.…”

Furthermore, immunohistochemistry data from human coronary PVAT demonstrated that B cells were found aggregated in close proximity to the coronary artery in fat-associated lymphoid clusters.…”
