Obesity is associated with an increased risk of developing multiple myeloma (MM). The molecular mechanisms causing this association is complex and incompletely understood. Whether obesity affects bone marrow immune cell composition in multiple myeloma is not characterized. Here, we examined the effect of diet-induced obesity on bone marrow immune cell composition and tumor growth in a Vk*MYC (Vk12653) transplant model of multiple myeloma. We find that diet-induced obesity promoted tumor growth in the bone marrow and spleen and reduced the relative number of T and B cells in the bone marrow. Our results suggest that obesity may reduce MM immune surveillance and thus may contribute to increased risk of developing MM.
