Regulation of hepatocyte growth factor expression by NF-κB and PPARγ in adipose tissue

Abstract: Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is expressed as an angiogenic factor in adipose tissue. However, the molecular mechanism of Hgf expression remains largely unknown in the tissue. We addressed the issue by studying Hgf expression in adipocytes and macrophages. Hgf was expressed more in the stromal-vascular fraction than the adipocyte fraction. The expression was fivefold more in macrophages than the stromal-vascular faction and was reduced by 50% after macrophage deletion in adipose tissue. The expression was red… Show more

“…Activated Mfs produce HGF (Yin et al, 2014), which accelerates wound healing and MSC migration. We postulated that a plausible mechanism by which maresin-Ls restored the reparative functions of db/db Mfs might, in part, be augmenting pro-healing growth factor production.…”

“…Firstly, we analysed the classic pathway in chronic inflammatory processes involving NF-κB. 41,42 The literature provides detailed evidence that the NF-κB pathway in adipose tissue is modulated in obesity, 26,43,44 and the same signal route is suggested to be augmented in the adipose tissue of cachectic patients and animals. 14,34 Our results confirm that increased pro-inflammatory cytokine content in the adipose tissue was accompanied by higher expression of transcription factors key proteins, such as NF-κB p65.…”

“…As a major type of inflammatory cells, macrophages produce angiogenic factors, such as PDGF (34), HGF (35,36), and TGF-β (27,36). Macrophages are required for adipose tissue growth in lean mice (37,38) and obese mice (34).…”
