Metabolic Instruction of Immunity

TL;DR: This review of immunometabolism will reference the most recent literature to cover the choices that environments impose on the metabolism and function of immune cells and highlight their consequences during homeostasis and disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Unraveling the Complex Interplay Between T Cell Metabolism and Function

TL;DR: How T cell metabolism can have profound effects on health and disease and where it might be a promising target to treat a variety of pathologies is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Navigating metabolic pathways to enhance antitumour immunity and immunotherapy

TL;DR: An overview of the pathways of cancer metabolism that intersect with immunometabolism, typically resulting in immunosuppression, is provided, with a focus on how these metabolic pathways could be targeted in order to enhance anticancer immunity and immunotherapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Metabolic coordination of T cell quiescence and activation.

TL;DR: It is proposed that immunological cues and nutrients license and tune metabolic programmes and signalling networks that communicate in a bidirectional manner to promote quiescence exit and how cell-extrinsic factors, such as nutrients and regulatory T cells, directly and indirectly balance quiescent and activation programmes in conventional T cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

The spectrum of T cell metabolism in health and disease

TL;DR: The idea that the spectrum of immune cell metabolic states can provide a basis for categorizing human diseases is introduced and the metabolic and interlinked signalling requirements of T cells responding to acute infection are summarized.

The transcription factor Myc controls metabolic reprogramming upon T lymphocyte activation

TL;DR: Metabolic tracer analysis revealed a Myc-dependent metabolic pathway linking glutaminolysis to the biosynthesis of polyamines, which may represent a general mechanism for metabolic reprogramming under patho-physiological conditions.

T follicular helper cell differentiation, function, and roles in disease

TL;DR: There has been dramatic advances in this young field, but there is much to be learned about Tfh cell biology in the interest of applying that knowledge to biomedical needs.

HIF1α–dependent glycolytic pathway orchestrates a metabolic checkpoint for the differentiation of TH17 and Treg cells

TL;DR: HIF1α induction by mTOR represents a metabolic checkpoint for the differentiation of TH17 and Treg cells and is associated with good progenitor cell status in mice.
Journal ArticleDOI

Metabolic regulation of T lymphocytes.

TL;DR: The role of cellular metabolism in T cell development, activation, differentiation, and function is discussed to highlight the clinical relevance and opportunities for therapeutic interventions that may be used to disrupt immune pathogenesis.
