Perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) is a unique fat depot surrounding blood vessels and plays a vital role in the progression of vascular remodeling and dysfunction. PVAT exhibits remarkable differences in structure, phenotype, origin, and secretome across anatomical locations. The proximity of PVAT to neighboring vascular beds favors a niche for bidirectional communication between adipocytes and vascular smooth muscle cells, endothelial cells, and immune cells. In this review, we update our understanding of PVAT's regional differences and provide a comprehensive exploration of how these differences impact cross-talks between PVAT and the vascular wall. Different PVAT depots show different degrees of vasoprotective function and resilience to pathological changes such as obesity and vasculopathies, shaping multifaceted interactions between PVAT depots and adjacent vasculatures. The depot-specific resilience may lead to innovative strategies to manage cardiometabolic disorders.
血管周围脂肪组织(PVAT)是围绕血管的独特脂肪库,在血管重塑和功能障碍的进展中起着至关重要的作用。PVAT在不同解剖位置的结构、表型、起源和分泌组方面表现出显著差异。PVAT与相邻血管床的接近性有利于脂肪细胞与血管平滑肌细胞、内皮细胞和免疫细胞之间进行双向通讯。在本综述中,我们更新了对PVAT区域差异的认识,并全面探讨了这些差异如何影响PVAT与血管壁之间的相互作用。不同的PVAT库表现出不同程度的血管保护功能以及对肥胖和血管病变等病理变化的抵抗力,从而塑造了PVAT库与相邻血管系统之间的多方面相互作用。特定库的抵抗力可能会带来管理心脏代谢紊乱的创新策略。
