Abstract
Obesity increases preeclampsia risk. Adipose tissue inflammation may contribute to the clinical syndrome of pre-eclampsia. We compared adipose tissue macrophage infiltration and release of pro-inflammatory adipokines in pre-eclampsia and healthy pregnancy. Subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue biopsies were collected from healthy (n=13) and preeclampsia (n=13) mothers. Basal and lipopolysaccharide stimulated adipocyte TNFα, IL-6, CCL-2 and CRP release was measured. Adipose tissue cell densities of activated (cfms(+)) and total (CD68(+)) macrophages were determined. In pre-eclampsia only, visceral adipose tissue TNFα release was increased after lipopolysaccharide stimulation (57 [76] vs 81 [97] pg/mL/ug DNA, p=0.030). Basal TNFα release was negatively correlated insulin sensitivity of visceral adipocytes (r=-0.61, p=0.030) in pre-eclampsia. Visceral adipocyte IL-6 release was increased after lipopolysaccharide stimulation in pre-eclampsia only (566 [696] vs 852 [914] pg/mL/ugDNA, p=0.019). Visceral adipocyte CCL-2 basal (67 [61] vs 187 [219] pg/mL/ugDNA, p=0.049) and stimulated (46 [46] vs 224 [271] pg/mL/ugDNA, p=0.003) release was greater than in subcutaneous adipocytes in pre-eclampsia only. In pre-eclampsia, median TNF mRNA expression in visceral adipose tissue was higher than controls (1.94 [1.13-4.14] vs 0.8 [0.00-1.27] TNF / PPIA ratio, p=0.006). In visceral adipose tissue, CSF1R (a marker of activated macrophages) mRNA expression (24.8[11.0] vs 51.0[29.9] CSF1R/PPIA ratio, p=0.011) and activated (cfms+) macrophage count (6.7[2.6] vs 15.2[8.8] % cfms+/adipocyte, p=0.031) were higher in pre-eclampsia than in controls. In conclusion, our study demonstrates dysregulation of inflammatory pathways predominantly in visceral adipose tissue in pre-eclampsia. Inflammation of visceral adipose tissue may mediate many of the adverse metabolic effects associated with pre-eclampsia.
