BAFF neutralization impairs the clearance of dead adipocytes and promotes insulin resistance in obese mice


ABSTRACT: B cell-activating factor (BAFF) is critical for the survival and maturation of B2 cells. However, excess BAFF breaks the peripheral tolerance of B2-cells leading to the production of autoantibodies that cause autoimmune diseases. During obesity, BAFF is predominantly produced by white adipose tissue (WAT), and IgG autoantibodies against adipocytes are identified in the WAT of obese humans. However, it remains to be determined if the autoantibodies formed during obesity affect WAT remodeling and systemic insulin resistance. Here, we show that IgGs from high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obese mice bind to apoptotic adipocytes and promote their clearance by macrophages. Next, using murine models of obesity in which the gonadal WAT undergoes remodeling, unexpectedly we found that BAFF neutralization increased the number of dead adipocytes and exacerbated WAT inflammation and insulin resistance despite depletion of IgG autoantibodies. RNA sequencing of the stromal vascular fraction from the WAT revealed impaired B cell activation and phagocytosis pathways. In-vitro, the clearance of apoptotic adipocytes by macrophages was attenuated in the presence of IgGs from BAFF-neutralized mice compared to the control mice. Altogether, our study suggests a beneficial role of BAFF and IgG autoantibodies in WAT remodeling in obesity and the regulation of systemic insulin resistance.
