It remains unclear whether sex differences exist during the development of visceral adipose tissue (VAT) inflammation associated with obesity. The purpose of this study was to clarify sex differences in the occurrence of senescence-related T cells (CD44high PD-1+ CD4+), which play a key role in the progression of VAT inflammation associated with high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity. Phase 1: C57BL/6N mice were fed either a control diet (HFC) or HFD for 5 wk. The area under the curve of the oral glucose-tolerance test (oGTT) was maximal at 15 wk in HFD-fed males and at 21 wk in females. At 17 wk, VAT weights were similar, but an increase in the number of macrophages in the VAT was observed only in HFD-fed males. In addition, the numbers of regulatory and senescence-related T cells were consistently higher in males than in females. Phases 2 and 3: 6-wk-old female mice were randomly divided into sham operation and bilateral ovariectomy (OVX) groups and fed either an HFC or HFD from 7 wk. OVX mice were subjected to 17β-estradiol releasing or placebo pellet implantation and fed an HFC. Body and VAT weights were higher in the OVX group than in the sham. The number of macrophages did not change in the OVX group with either diet. HFC-fed OVX mice exhibited high senescence-related T cells in the VAT, resembling HFC-fed male mice. This change was abolished by 17β-estradiol replacement. Thus, we demonstrated different accumulation patterns of VAT immune cells between the sexes, revealing a role for estrogen in the appearance of senescence- related T cells. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
