Levels of 4-1BB transcripts and soluble 4-1BB protein are elevated in the adipose tissue of human obese subjects and are associated with inflammatory and metabolic parameters

Background: 4-1BB, a member of the TNF receptor superfamily, has a role in various inflammatory pathologies through its interaction with 4-1BB ligand. We previously demonstrated that it participates in initiating and promoting obesity-induced adipose inflammation in a rodent model. Objective: In thi...

Zusammenfassung:Background: 4-1BB, a member of the TNF receptor superfamily, has a role in various inflammatory pathologies through its interaction with 4-1BB ligand. We previously demonstrated that it participates in initiating and promoting obesity-induced adipose inflammation in a rodent model. Objective: In this study, we examined whether 4-1BB is related to obesity-induced adipose inflammation and metabolic parameters in humans. Methods: A total of 50 subjects, 25 obese (body mass index (BMI)⩾25 kg m −2 ) and 25 lean (BMI
