Resistin, a cysteine-rich hormone secreted primarily by rodent fat cells, was postulated to be implicated in obesity, insulin resistance and diabetes. Resistin is also secreted by macrophages in humans, promoting inflammation (PMID: 20148674). Resistin modulates the synthesis and secretion of key pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-6 and IL12 in macrophages via a nuclear factor-kB (NF-kB)-dependent pathway. Given the connection between inflammation and cancer, resistin was soon considered for its role in cancer. There were observations supporting its possible use as a diagnostic marker, expression levels of which also seemed to differ in patients with varying clinical stages (PMID: 30317640). Resistin has been also linked to other pathologies such as atherosclerosis (PMID: 15710760).
