A hypoxic microenvironment can enhance the function of innate immune cells; however, the mechanisms remain unclear. Tannahill et al. (2013) find that in macrophages, the accumulation of succinate, an intermediate metabolite of the tricarboxylic acid cycle, stabilizes the transcription factor HIF-1α, leading to activation of the proinflammatory cytokine IL-1β.
缺氧微环境可以增强先天免疫细胞的功能;然而,其机制尚不清楚。Tannahill 等人(2013 年)发现,在巨噬细胞中,三羧酸循环中间代谢产物琥珀酸的积累稳定了转录因子 HIF-1α,从而导致促炎细胞因子 IL-1β的激活。
