Metabolic regulation of immune responses

Open access

Abstract

The immune system defends against pathogens and maintains tissue homeostasis for the life of the organism. These diverse functions are bioenergetically expensive, requiring precise control of cellular metabolic pathways. Although initial observations in this area were made almost a century ago, studies over the past decade have elucidated the molecular basis for how extracellular signals control the uptake and catabolism of nutrients in quiescent and activated immune cells. Collectively, these studies have revealed that the metabolic pathways of oxidative metabolism, glycolysis, and glutaminolysis preferentially fuel the cell fate decisions and effector functions of immune cells. Here, we discuss these findings and provide a general framework for understanding how metabolism fuels and regulates the maturation of immune responses. A better understanding of the metabolic checkpoints that control these transitions might provide new insights for modulating immunity in infection, cancer, or inflammatory disorders.

  • Treatment with LPS in macrophages, dendritic and microglia cells provokes a metabolic shift from oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) towards aerobic glycolysis, a process required to quickly supply high energy demands of the inflammatory response.

    “Treatment with LPS in macrophages, dendritic and microglia cells provokes a metabolic shift from oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) towards aerobic glycolysis, a process required to quickly supply high energy demands of the inflammatory response (Galván-Peña and O'Neill, 2014),(Ruiz-García et al., 2011), (Ganeshan and Chawla, 2014),(Orihuela et al., 2016).”

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.
