T cell transdifferentiation to functionally distinct subsets can play a key role in balancing the protective and pathogenic features of the T cell response. In a new study, Karmaus et al. (2019) showed that mTORC1 activity influences metabolic heterogeneity within a T cell population to modulate transdifferentiation and disease pathogenesis in a setting of chronic inflammation-driven autoimmunity.
T 细胞的转分化为功能不同的亚群在平衡 T 细胞反应的保护和致病特征方面可以发挥关键作用。在一项新的研究中,Karmaus 等人(2019 年)表明,mTORC1 活性影响 T 细胞群体内的代谢异质性,以调节慢性炎症驱动的自身免疫中的转分化和疾病发病机制。
