Abstract
Background and objective: The bone marrow microenvironment is closely related to normal hematopoiesis and hematologic tumors. Adipocytes are an important part of the bone marrow microenvironment, in which they can release free fatty acids (FFAs) through lipolysis and secrete adipocytokines, etc., and participate in normal hematopoiesis, which is closely related to the occurrence and treatment of hematological tumors. In this review, we aim to discuss how bone marrow adipocytes (BMAs) can influence the proliferation, apoptosis, and chemotherapy resistance of cancer cells by reprogramming lipid metabolism and the secretion of various adipocytokines.
Methods: Studies from 2000 to July 2024 were reviewed from PubMed, Springer Link, and the Web of Science using the keywords bone marrow microenvironment, adipocytes, lipid metabolism, adipocytokines, hematological tumor, cancer, and their combinations. Unreliable articles such as those that are old and have a low impact factor are excluded, and there is no restriction on language.
Key content and findings: Adipocytes can regulate the proliferation and differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) by secreting inflammatory factors and adipocytokines to maintain hematopoietic homeostasis. Adipocytes can also stimulate and accelerate the occurrence and progression of hematological tumors by secreting adipocytokines and mediating the reprogramming of lipid metabolism. Moreover, abundant adipocytes in bone marrow can protect tumor cells by physically blocking and/or secreting cytokines, leading to chemotherapy resistance.
Conclusions: Therefore, the targeted inhibition of related lipid metabolism pathways and adipocytokines might be a potential therapeutic target for hematological tumors, which would be helpful to inhibit tumor growth and correct chemotherapy resistance.
背景和目的:骨髓微环境与正常造血和血液肿瘤密切相关。脂肪细胞是骨髓微环境的重要组成部分,可通过脂肪分解释放游离脂肪酸(FFAs)、分泌脂肪细胞因子等,参与正常造血,与血液肿瘤的发生和治疗密切相关。本综述旨在探讨骨髓脂肪细胞(BMAs)如何通过重编程脂质代谢和分泌各种脂肪细胞因子来影响癌细胞的增殖、凋亡和化疗耐药性:方法:以骨髓微环境、脂肪细胞、脂质代谢、脂肪细胞因子、血液肿瘤、癌症及其组合为关键词,从 PubMed、Springer Link 和 Web of Science 上查阅了 2000 年至 2024 年 7 月期间的研究。不可靠的文章,如年代久远、影响因子低的文章将被排除在外,语言不限:脂肪细胞可以通过分泌炎症因子和脂肪细胞因子来调节造血干细胞(HSCs)的增殖和分化,从而维持造血干细胞的平衡。脂肪细胞还可通过分泌脂肪细胞因子和介导脂质代谢重编程,刺激和加速血液肿瘤的发生和发展。此外,骨髓中丰富的脂肪细胞可通过物理阻断和/或分泌细胞因子来保护肿瘤细胞,从而导致化疗耐药:因此,靶向抑制相关脂质代谢通路和脂肪细胞因子可能是血液肿瘤的潜在治疗靶点,有助于抑制肿瘤生长和纠正化疗耐药。
