Case Study

Dermal White Adipose Tissue–Derived Il-33 Regulates Il-4/13 Expression in Myeloid Cells during Inflammation

Journal: The Journal of investigative dermatology
Year: 2024

  • Background
  • Results

Adipocytes in white adipose tissue traditionally store energy as lipids but are now recognized as a dynamic endocrine organ, secreting adipokines that regulate nutrient homeostasis, energy storage, and inflammation. Dermal white adipose tissue (dWAT), a distinct fat depot, plays a crucial role in skin homeostasis, thermoregulation, tissue repair, and immune defense. Studies show that dWAT expands in response to injury or inflammation, supporting wound healing and antibacterial defense. Despite extensive research on subcutaneous and visceral fat, the immune-regulatory function of dWAT remains underexplored, prompting investigations into its role in myeloid cell activation and its interaction with inflammation, particularly under obese conditions.

The study's key findings highlight the activation of dermal white adipose tissue (dWAT) in response to skin inflammation. In a mouse model of acute skin inflammation induced by imiquimod (IMQ), significant changes were observed in dWAT, including myeloid cell infiltration and increased levels of proinflammatory mediators like S100A9. RNA sequencing revealed that 1291 genes were upregulated and 1036 genes were downregulated in dWAT, with the activation of critical pathways such as TLR, chemokine, and Fcg receptor signaling. Analysis of the secretome using the Olink Target 48 Mouse Cytokine Panel identified elevated levels of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines, including IL-1b, TNFa, IL-1a, IFNγ, IL-12, and CCL4 in dWAT from lesional skin, confirming the strong proinflammatory activation of dWAT during skin inflammation.

FAQs

What is the difference between mass spec and Olink?

Mass spectrometry (MS) and Olink are complementary tools for biomolecular analysis, differing in technology and focus. MS uses ionization and mass analysis to provide detailed, untargeted profiles of various biomolecules, including proteins, lipids, and metabolites, making it ideal for discovery-based research and structural elucidation. Olink employs Proximity Extension Assay (PEA) technology for highly specific and sensitive targeted protein quantification, focusing on predefined biomarker panels for clinical and translational research. While MS offers comprehensive data with high sensitivity and broad applications, Olink excels in high-throughput protein biomarker studies with simplified data analysis.

What is the detection range and sensitivity of this panel?

The panel achieves a broad dynamic range, with the ability to detect cytokines at concentrations as low as femtomolar levels. Sensitivity varies depending on the specific cytokine, but the assay is designed to provide reliable quantification across a wide spectrum of cytokine concentrations.

What is the principle of Olink?

Olink employs Proximity Extension Assay (PEA) technology, which uses pairs of antibodies conjugated to unique DNA oligonucleotides. When both antibodies bind to their target cytokine, the DNA strands are brought into proximity, allowing a polymerase to create a hybrid DNA molecule. This DNA serves as a barcode that uniquely identifies the target cytokine, which is then amplified and quantified using either real-time PCR or next-generation sequencing (NGS).
