Abstract
- Obesity is a prevalent health risk by inducing chronic, low-grade inflammation and insulin resistance, in part from adipose tissue inflammation perpetuated by activated B cells and other resident immune cells. However, regulatory mechanisms controlling B-cell actions in adipose tissue remain poorly understood, limiting therapeutic innovations. MicroRNAs are potent regulators of immune cell dynamics through fine-tuning a network of downstream genes in multiple signaling pathways. In particular, miR-150 is crucial to B-cell development and suppresses obesity-associated inflammation via regulating adipose tissue B-cell function. Herein, we review the effect of microRNAs on B-cell development, activation, and function and highlight miR-150-regulated B-cell actions during obesity which modulate systemic inflammation and insulin resistance. In this way, we hope to promote translational discoveries that mitigate obesity-induced health risks by targeting microRNA-regulated B-cell actions.
