The past decade has seen a significant interest in investigating the intracellular metabolism of cells of the immune system. This has increased the realization that immune cells endure metabolic reprogramming upon responding to pathogen-derived or inflammatory signals. More importantly, not only does this metabolic switch provide for the bioenergetic and biosynthetic demands but also it, in a highly specific manner, determines the cellular fate and function. In this review, we discuss the metabolic aspects that regulate the differentiation and function of myeloid cells, pivotal for both innate and adaptive immunity. The manipulation of these pathways can alter the function of these cells and therefore, could provide novel therapeutic approaches in cancer and other chronic inflammatory conditions.
在过去十年中,人们对研究免疫系统细胞的细胞内代谢产生了浓厚兴趣。这使人们越来越认识到,免疫细胞在对病原体衍生或炎症信号作出反应时会经历代谢重编程。更重要的是,这种代谢转换不仅满足了生物能量和生物合成的需求,而且还以高度特异性的方式决定了细胞的命运和功能。在这篇综述中,我们讨论了调节髓样细胞分化和功能的代谢方面,髓样细胞对先天免疫和适应性免疫都至关重要。对这些途径的操纵可以改变这些细胞的功能,因此,可能为癌症和其他慢性炎症性疾病提供新的治疗方法。
