Abstract

Accumulation of lactate in the tissue microenvironment is a feature of both inflammatory disease and cancer.Here, we assess the response of immune cells to lactate in the context of chronic inflammation.We report that lactate accumulation in the inflamed tissue contributes to the upregulation of the lactate transporter SLC5A12 by human CD4 + T cells.SLC5A12-mediated lactate uptake into CD4 + T cells induces a reshaping of their effector phenotype, resulting in increased IL17 production via nuclear PKM2/STAT3 and enhanced fatty acid synthesis.It also leads to CD4 + T cell retention in the inflamed tissue as a consequence of reduced glycolysis and enhanced fatty acid synthesis.Furthermore, antibody-mediated blockade of SLC5A12 ameliorates the disease severity in a murine model of arthritis.Finally, we propose that lactate/SLC5A12-induced metabolic reprogramming is a distinctive feature of lymphoid synovitis in rheumatoid arthritis patients and a potential therapeutic target in chronic inflammatory disorders.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
