  • 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

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.

Simple Summary: Metabolism is the process by which living organisms and cells generate energy to sustain life. 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.

  • Abstract – Keynote Address
    ABSTRACT – KEYNOTE ADDRESS Diabetes, Obesity and the Central Role of the Adipocyte in Maintaining Systemic Homeostasis Philipp E. Scherer, PhD Gifford O. Touchstone, Jr. and Randolph G. Touchstone Distinguished Chair in Diabetes Research University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center Epidemiologically, obesity is frequently associated with the metabolic syndrome and poses an increased risk for the development of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. However, the molecular links that connect the phenomenon of obesity per se with insulin resistance are not known. Uncontrolled expansion of adipose tissue, through an increase in both adipocyte size and number, is a hallmark of obesity. Over the past decade, a number of mechanisms have been proposed to explain the phenotypic changes associated with obesity-related metabolic disorders. Among them, inflammation, lipotoxicity, fibrosis and the unfolded protein response (UPR) have attracted significant attention. Dysfunctional adipose tissue during states of nutrient excess can promote systemic insulin resistance. Under conditions of obesity, the ability of adipose to buffer excess nutrients is reduced and the secretion of inflammatory cytokines is increased. Importantly, secretion of the anti-lipotoxic hormone adiponectin is lowered. Our work has further demonstrated that an enhanced capacity for lipid storage in adipocytes protects against metabolic disturbances, even in the context of massive nutrient excess, by over-expressing adiponectin constitutively. We recently published an additional model in which we demonstrated that “the world’s most obese mouse” can preserve perfect metabolic health, provided the fat expansion occurs in a “healthy” fashion, i.e. as a combination of enhanced adipogenesis, appropriate vascularization and reduced fibrosis and inflammation. This mouse also achieved its protective high-level obesity through massive induction of adiponectin, downstream of altered mitochondrial function.

Hindsight Over the last century, our modern concepts and understanding of metabolism and immunology have evolved largely in parallel. Notably, during the last decade, there has been a sharpened focus on the convergence of metabolism and immune function. In part motivated by studies originally published in the JCI, we now recognize that the immune system monitors the metabolic state of tissues and organisms and responds in kind by modulating metabolic function. The complexity of these interactions, both adaptive and pathologic, continues to be studied and revealed, with the hope that harnessing the reins that control immune function may one day be used for metabolic benefit.
