1.	Boesch, Markus, et al. (författare) Adipose tissue macrophage dysfunction is associated with a breach of vascular integrity in NASH 2024 Ingår i: Journal of Hepatology. - 0168-8278 .- 1600-0641. ; 80:3, s. 397-408 Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract Background & Aims: In non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), monocytes infiltrate visceral adipose tissue promoting local and hepatic inflammation. However, it remains unclear what drives inflammation and how the immune landscape in adipose tissue differs across the NAFLD severity spectrum. We aimed to assess adipose tissue macrophage (ATM) heterogeneity in a NAFLD cohort. Methods: Visceral adipose tissue macrophages from lean and obese patients, stratified by NAFLD phenotypes, underwent single-cell RNA sequencing. Adipose tissue vascular integrity and breaching was assessed on a protein level via immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence to determine targets of interest. Results: We discovered multiple ATM populations, including resident vasculature-associated macrophages (ResVAMs) and distinct metabolically active macrophages (MMacs). Using trajectory analysis, we show that ResVAMs and MMacs are replenished by a common transitional macrophage (TransMac) subtype and that, during NASH, MMacs are not effectively replenished by TransMac precursors. We postulate an accessory role for MMacs and ResVAMs in protecting the adipose tissue vascular barrier, since they both interact with endothelial cells and localize around the vasculature. However, across the NAFLD severity spectrum, alterations occur in these subsets that parallel an adipose tissue vasculature breach characterized by albumin extravasation into the perivascular tissue. Conclusions: NAFLD-related macrophage dysfunction coincides with a loss of adipose tissue vascular integrity, providing a plausible mechanism by which tissue inflammation is perpetuated in adipose tissue and downstream in the liver. Impact and implications: Our study describes for the first time the myeloid cell landscape in human visceral adipose tissue at single-cell level within a cohort of well-characterized patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. We report unique non-alcoholic steatohepatitis-specific transcriptional changes within metabolically active macrophages (MMacs) and resident vasculature-associated macrophages (ResVAMs) and we demonstrate their spatial location surrounding the vasculature. These dysfunctional transcriptional macrophage states coincided with the loss of adipose tissue vascular integrity, providing a plausible mechanism by which tissue inflammation is perpetuated in adipose tissue and downstream in the liver. Our study provides a theoretical basis for new therapeutic strategies to be directed towards reinstating the endogenous metabolic, homeostatic and cytoprotective functions of ResVAMs and MMacs, including their role in protecting vascular integrity.
