Adipose tissue macrophages are associated with insulin resistance and are linked with 39 changes in the extracellular matrix (ECM). To better characterize adipose 40 macrophages, the ECM, and adipocyte–macrophage interactions, gene expression from 41 adipose tissue and stromal vascular fraction was assessed for markers of inflammation 42 and fibrosis, and macrophages from obese and lean subjects were counted and 43 characterized immunohistochemically. Coculture experiments examined the effects of 44 adipocyte-macrophage interaction. Collagen VI gene expression was associated with 45 insulin sensitivity (S I ) and CD68 (r=-0.56, and r=0.60, p<0.0001), and with other 46 markers of inflammation and fibrosis. When compared to lean, obese adipose tissue 47 contained increased areas of fibrosis which correlated inversely with insulin sensitivity 48 (r=-0.58, p<0.02) and positively with macrophage number (r=0.70, p<0.01). Although 49 macrophages in crown-like structure (CLS) were more abundant in obese adipose, the 50 majority of macrophages were associated with fibrosis and were not organized in CLS. 51 Macrophages in CLS were predominantly M1, but most other macrophages, particularly 52 those in fibrotic areas, were M2, and also expressed CD150, a marker of M2c 53 macrophages. Coculture of THP1 macrophages with adipocytes promoted the M2 54 phenotype, with lower IL1, and a higher IL10:IL12 ratio. TGF- β was more abundant in 55 M2 macrophages and was further increased by coculture with adipocytes. Downstream 56 effectors of TGF- β such as PAI-1, collagen VI and p-Smad were increased in both macrophages and adipocytes. Thus, adipose tissue of insulin resistant humans demonstrated increased fibrosis, M2 macrophage abundance and TGF- β activity.
