Résumé

Adipose tissue macrophages (ATM) are key actors in the pathophysiology of obesity-related diseases. They have a unique intermediate M2-M1 phenotype which has been linked to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. We previously reported that human M2 macrophages treated with the ER stress inducer thapsigargin switched to a pro-inflammatory phenotype that depended on the stress protein GRP94. In these conditions, GRP94 promoted cathepsin L secretion and was co-secreted with complement C3. As cathepsin L and complement C3 have been reported to play a role in the pathophysiology of obesity, in this work we studied the involvement of GRP94 in the pro-inflammatory phenotype of ATM.
