Abstract (original English)
Interleukin-33 (IL-33) is a pleiotropic cytokine of the IL-1 family that plays a key role in innate and adaptive immune responses and contributes to tissue homeostasis. Its role in adipose tissue function has been extensively studied, as adipose tissue serves as an important mediator of metabolic dysfunction. In adipose tissue, IL-33 is primarily produced by stromal cells. Its production is regulated by factors, such as androgens, aging, sympathetic innervation, and various inflammatory stimuli that affect the proliferation and differentiation of IL-33-producing stromal cells. Many studies have elucidated the mechanisms by which IL-33 interacts with the immune system components, local nerve fibers, and adipocytes to influence energy balance, with important consequences in obesity, cold-induced thermogenesis, and aging-related metabolic dysfunction. Here, we detail our current understanding of the molecular events that regulate the production of IL-33 within adipose tissue and discuss its role in regulating adipose function.
What this study does not prove
- • This study does not prove SVF is an approved treatment or a replacement for standard care.
