TNF-a Induces a Pro-Inflammatory Phenotypic Shift in Monocytes through ACSL1: Relevance to Metabolic Inflammation
7 Mar 2019
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIMS: TNF-α-mediated pro-inflammatory phenotypic change in monocytes is known to be implicated in the pathogenesis of metabolic inflammation and insulin resistance. However, the mechanism by which TNF-α-induces inflammatory phenotypic shift in monocytes is poorly understood. Since long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase 1 (ACSL1) is associated with inflammatory monocytes/macrophages, we investigated the role of...
