Obesity Uncovers the Presence of Inflammatory Lung Macrophage Subsets With an Adipose Tissue Transcriptomic Signature in Influenza Virus Infection
1 Nov 2024
Abstract excerpt
Obesity is an independent risk factor for increased disease severity during influenza A virus (IAV) infection. White adipose tissue (WAT) inflammation promotes disease pathogenesis in obesity. Whether obesity modifies lung and WAT immune cells to amplify influenza severity is unknown. We show that obesity establishes a proinflammatory transcriptome in lung immune cells that is augmented during IAV infection and...
