De kunst van bruggen bouwen inaugurele rede door prof. dr. mihai g. netea inaugurele rede prof. dr. mihai g. netea In de afgelopen halve eeuw zijn we getuige geweest van een explosie in kennis over moleculaire biologie, cellu- laire fysiologie en genetica. Tegelijkertijd is er een steeds diepere kloof ontstaan tus- sen de onderzoeker en de klinisch specialist, en zijn de spectaculaire ontdekkin- gen gevolgd door een te- leurstellend gering aantal nieuwe geneesmiddelen. De uitdaging is om de bevin- dingen te vertalen naar de praktische klinische toe- passing. Volgens hoogleraar Experimentele interne genees- kunde Mihai Netea is het de taak van de translatione- le geneeskunde in het algemeen, en de experimentele interne geneeskunde in het bijzonder om een brug te bouwen tussen laboratorium en patiëntenzorg, met op die brug verkeer in beide richtingen. Hij richt zich enerzijds op de introductie van nieuwe geavanceerde technieken op het gebied van moleculaire biologie en celbiologie, en anderzijds op de versterking van trans- lationeel onderzoek tussen fundamentele wetenschap en klinisch onderzoek. Voor die versterking zijn inspanningen nodig van alle betrokkenen: nationale organisaties, universiteiten, onderzoeksgroepen en de onderzoekers zelf. Prof. dr. Mihai G. Netea (Cluj-Napoca, Roemenië, 1968) studeerde geneeskunde aan de Cluj-Napoca University, waar hij in 1993 afstudeerde. In 1998 pro- moveerde hij cum laude aan de Radboud Universiteit.

  • Immunometabolism Research Focus: Cell Metabolism & NAD+ Metabolism
    www.adipogen.com Immunometabolism Research Focus: Cell Metabolism & NAD+ Metabolism Immunometabolism is a research field that provides new insights into the dynamic cross-talk between the immune system (immunity) and metabolic processes of an organism (metabolism). Immunometabolism tries to understand how metabolism controls the function of immune cells. It can be studied at a macroscopic level (e.g. in adipose tissues (see Figure 1) or in a tumor microenvironment) and at a microscopic level, the cellular bioenergetics of immune cells (see Figure 2). The activation, growth and proliferation, function and homeostasis of immune cells are intimately linked to dynamic changes in cellular metabolism configurations. The utilization of particular metabolic pathways is controlled by growth factors and nutrient availability (dictated by competition between other interacting cells) and by the balance of internal metabolites, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reducing/oxidizing substrates. Major metabolic pathways (see Figure 2) that shape the immune cell response include glycolysis, the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP), fatty acid oxidation (FAO), fatty acid synthesis (FAS) and amino acid (AA) metabolism (e.g. Glutamine, Arginine, Tryptophan). The various immune cell subsets use distinct metabolic pathways to promote cell survival, lineage generation and function. For example, inflammatory M1 macrophages or rapidly proliferating effector T cells, including T helper 1 (TH1), TH17 and cytotoxic CD8+ T cells, use metabolic pathways that support cell proliferation and the production of cytokines, such as glycolysis or fatty acid synthesis. M2 macrophages or immunosuppressive regulatory T (Treg) cells use metabolic pathways which inhibit inflammatory signals and are associated with suppressive functions, such as TCA cycle and fatty acid oxidation.

For more than a decade, the interactions between the immune system and metabolic processes have been reported, in effect creating a new re- search field, termed immunometabolism. Accumulating evidence supports the hypo thesis that the development of metabolic diseases may be linked to inflammation, and reflects, in some cases, the activation of immune responses. As such, immunometabolism is defined by 1) inflammation as a driver of disease development and/or 2) metabolic processes stimulating cellular differentiation of the immune components. In this review, the main factors capable of altering the immuno-metabolic communication leading to the development and establishment of obesity and diabetes are compre- hensively presented. Tissue-specific immune responses suggested to impair metabolic processes are described, with an emphasis on the adipose tissue, gut, muscle, liver, and pancreas.

  • Pathogens Hijack Host Cell Metabolism: Intracellular Infection As a Driver of the Warburg Effect in Cancer and Other Chronic Inflammatory Conditions
    ij.hapres.com Review Pathogens Hijack Host Cell Metabolism: Intracellular Infection as a Driver of the Warburg Effect in Cancer and Other Chronic Inflammatory Conditions Amy D. Proal 1, Michael B. VanElzakker 1,2,* 1 PolyBio Research Foundation, Kenmore, WA 98028, USA 2 Division of Neurotherapeutics, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02129, USA * Correspondence: Michael B. VanElzakker, Email: [email protected]. ABSTRACT The Warburg effect refers to a metabolic state in which cells preferentially use aerobic glycolysis rather than oxidative phosphorylation to generate ATP and macromolecules. A number of chronic inflammatory conditions are characterized by host cells that adopt a sustained, pathological Warburg-like metabolism. In cancer, previously healthy cells shift into a Warburg state centered on rapid energy production and increased cell proliferation that drives tumor formation. Macrophage in atherosclerotic plaque and in sarcoidosis granuloma can also harbor a Warburg-like phenotype that promotes an inflammatory milieu. The question of why host cells in patients with cancer and other chronic inflammatory conditions adapt a pathological Warburg-like metabolism is a matter of debate. This review/hypothesis piece explores how intracellular infection can contribute to this Warburg metabolism or related pathological metabolic states. We detail molecular mechanisms by which viral, bacterial, and protozoan intracellular pathogens can induce, or contribute to, a Warburg-like metabolism in infected host cells in order to meet their own replication and nutritional needs. We also discuss how host defense Open Access towards infection may impact cellular metabolic changes. We then provide examples of how many of these same intracellular pathogens Received: 01 September 2020 have been identified in tumors, atherosclerotic lesions, granuloma, and Accepted: 08 December 2020 other tissues containing cells with a Warburg or altered metabolism.

Xavier23,24 and Eicke Latz25,26,27 ✉ Abstract | Immune memory is a defining feature of the acquired immune system, but activation of the innate immune system can also result in enhanced responsiveness to subsequent triggers. This process has been termed ‘trained immunity’, a de facto innate immune memory. Research in the past decade has pointed to the broad benefits of trained immunity for host defence but has also suggested potentially detrimental outcomes in immune-mediated and chronic inflammatory diseases. Here we define ‘trained immunity’ as a biological process and discuss the innate stimuli and the epigenetic and metabolic reprogramming events that shape the induction of trained immunity. Pattern recognition The vertebrate immune system has traditionally been called ‘LPS tolerance’, which can be induced by low receptors divided into innate and adaptive arms. Cells of the innate doses of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and other Toll-like (PRRs). Germline- encoded immune system recognize pathogens and tissue damage receptor ligands, is also an adaptation of cellular receptors that recognize through germline- encoded pattern recognition receptors responses to an external stimulus, but which leads to a pathogen-associated molecular (PRRs)1,2, which sense diverse pathogen- associated lower inflammatory response to a second stimulation13.

At the organismal level, metabolic homeostasis is a tightly controlled balance between energy consumption and energy expenditure. Many studies have shown that disruption of this homeostasis leads to an inflammatory phenotype within adipose tissue. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of the dynamic metabolic interplay within adipose tissue and its implications for cancer progression and metastasis.
