Recent studies have shown that tissue-resident immune cells play a crucial role in maintaining tissue homeostasis and metabolic function. These immune cells form functional cell circuits with structural cells and integrate various signals to regulate structural cell metabolism. Dysregulation of these tissue-resident immune circuits can contribute to metabolic diseases such as inflammation and dietary overnutrition.
Recent studies have demonstrated that tissue homeostasis and metabolic function are dependent on distinct tissue-resident immune cells that form functional cell circuits with structural cells. Within these cell circuits, immune cells integrate cues from dietary contents and commensal microbes in addition to endocrine and neuronal signals present in the tissue microenvironment to regulate structural cell metabolism. These tissue-resident immune circuits can become dysregulated during inflammation and dietary overnutrition, contributing to metabolic diseases. Here, we review the evidence describing key cellular networks within and between the liver, gastrointestinal tract, and adipose tissue that control systemic metabolism and how these cell circuits become dysregulated during certain metabolic diseases. We also identify open questions in the field that have the potential to enhance our understanding of metabolic health and disease.
