High fat diet induces formation of spontaneous liposarcoma in mouse adipose tissue with overexpression of interleukin 22.
Interleukin 22 (IL-22) is a T-cell secreted cytokine that modulates inflammatory response in nonhematopoietic tissues such as epithelium and liver. The function of IL-22 in adipose tissue is currently unknown. We generated a transgenic mouse model with overexpression of IL-22 specifically in adipose...
