PG - 16-23 LID - S0006-291X(22)01294-3 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.bbrc.2022.09.044 [doi] AB - Infiltration by adipose tissue macrophages (ATMs) and subsequent metabolic inflammation are the key causes of obesity-induced insulin resistance and metabolic disorders. In this study, we analyzed the potential protective effect of tangeretin, a key flavonoid found extensively in citrus peels, against diet-induced metabolic inflammation. Daily gavages of tangeretin at 20 mg/kg protected the mice from high fat diet (HFD) feeding-induced insulin resistance, ATMs activation, and M1 macrophage polarization. Interestingly, in vitro assays using bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) showed that tangeretin had only a minimal effect on macrophage polarization. Assays of central carbon metabolism (CCM) in adipose tissue showed that tangeretin treatment rerouted the carbon metabolism and caused lactate accumulation in the microenvironment. Co-culture assays further suggested that tangeretin enhanced M2 polarization of BMDMs when adipocytes were present, whereas blocking the lactate uptake in macrophages reversed the effect of tangeretin on polarization. Taken together, these findings indicated that tangeretin provided indirect protection from diet-induced ATMs activation by reprogramming glucose metabolism and promoting lactate accumulation that subsequently promoted macrophage M2 polarization and reduced inflammation.
