Alwahsh MohammadAlejel RahafHamadneh LamaHasan AyaAl-Hiari YusufAl-Qirim TariqHergenröder Roland - Cells can produce various metabolites, and both immune cells and the immune microenvironment are profoundly influenced by these metabolites. By reshaping the metabolic state of immune cells via metabolites, the host immune response can be effectively regulated, further impacting their behavior in inflammation. Itaconate, as a bypass metabolite of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, has long been regarded as a small molecule involved in energy metabolism. However, recent studies reveal its production depends on immune response gene 1 (IRG1), which encodes aconitate decarboxylase. Under the stimulation of inflammation, the expression of IRG1 is significantly upregulated, leading to the rapid accumulation of itaconate within immune cells (especially macrophages), thus making it a key link between metabolism and immune response. Evidence indicates that macrophages are the cell type extensively synthesizing itaconate during M1 polarization driven by potent inflammatory signals (e.g., LPS stimulation). Concurrently, itaconate participates in regulating immune tolerance to cancer therapy via the transmembrane transporter SLC13A3. Under different pathological contexts the IRG1- itaconate axis exhibits distinct dynamic regulatory characteristics: During acute inflammation, itaconate limits excessive release of pro-inflammatory factors and reduces tissue damage by inhibiting succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), activating the Keap1-Nrf2 antioxidant pathway, blocking the ATF3/IκBζ-dependent pro-inflammatory program, and regulating the TET2-mediated epigenetic network. In chronic inflammation or certain tumor microenvironments, however, it may indirectly promote immunosuppression by inhibiting antigen presentation and weakening T cell cytotoxic effects. This bidirectional and environment-dependent nature makes it a key entry point for understanding the maintenance of immune homeostasis, inflammatory regulation and disease progression. This review systematically examines the production mechanisms, biochemical properties, central signaling pathways, and cross-cell effects of Itaconate as an immunomodulatory metabolite. It emphasizes its dual role in regulating inflammatory responses through multiple signaling axes and its contrasting behaviors in different disease contexts. By elucidating its molecular mechanisms, this study aims to provide novel theoretical foundations and potential therapeutic strategies for precision interventions in inflammatory diseases, while outlining future research directions and the clinical translation potential of itaconate-based approaches. - Source: PubMed

Liu YangZhang PengyuKong WeijieLi JinghuiYang HaoqiangBai HengqiFan GexuCao XinfangLi Yanjun - Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), formerly known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), is a prevalent chronic liver disorder with complex pathogenesis and limited therapeutic options. Here, we identify the solute carrier SLC13A3 as a critical regulator of MASLD progression. In a mouse model fed a high-fat, high-cholesterol, and high-fructose (HFHCHF) diet, hepatic SLC13A3 expression was significantly upregulated and positively correlated with disease severity. Liver-specific overexpression of Slc13a3 exacerbated hepatic steatosis, lipid accumulation, and metabolic dysfunction, whereas Slc13a3 knockdown attenuated these pathological phenotypes. Targeted metabolomic analysis revealed that SLC13A3 modulates hepatic NAD levels, thereby influencing the expression of key lipid metabolism genes, including SREBF1, CD36, PPARγ, and SCD1. These findings highlight a previously unrecognized role of SLC13A3 in MASLD pathogenesis and suggest its potential as a therapeutic target. - Source: PubMed

Du JiangxiaShen MinhuiMu YuanPeng ShuoranXu ZhifeiYang XiaochunYang BoLuo PeihuaYan HaoHe Qiaojun - Cell culture media are commonly formulated to enhance cell growth and often lack the physiological nutrient composition found in human blood plasma. The impact of substrate availability on immune cell metabolism and function remains incompletely understood. Here, we demonstrate that changes in culture medium composition affect mitochondrial metabolic pathways, immune responses, and transport in macrophages. Using mass spectrometry and stable isotope tracing, we identify citrate as a mediator linking extracellular substrate availability to intracellular metabolism. We also observe increased IL-6 secretion and elevated expression of plasma membrane transporter NaDC3 (SLC13A3) under physiological carbon source conditions that are reversed when citrate is excluded from the medium. Our findings demonstrate that extracellular substrate composition influences macrophage immunometabolism and identify citrate as an extracellular signal that modulates immune responses. This work highlights the importance of physiologically relevant nutrient availability in studying and targeting immunometabolic pathways. - Source: PubMed

Woyciechowski LeaWillenbockel Hanna FCordes Thekla - The SLC13 gene family encodes plasma membrane transporters with 11 putative transmembrane domains and comprises two functional subgroups: sodium-sulfate cotransporters (NaS) and sodium-carboxylate cotransporters (NaC). The NaC subfamily includes the low-affinity sodium-dicarboxylate cotransporter 1 (NaDC1/SLC13A2), the high-affinity sodium-dicarboxylate cotransporter 3 (NaDC3/SLC13A3) and the sodium-dependent citrate transporter (NaCT/SLC13A5), which facilitate the cellular uptake of tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA) intermediates such as citrate, succinate and α-ketoglutarate. These substrates serve dual roles as metabolic fuels and signaling molecules. This review synthesizes recent advances in the structural biology, substrate specificity, tissue distribution, and regulation of NaC transporters, and highlights their emerging pathophysiological significance. Dysregulation of NaC transporters contributes to various human diseases, including metabolic disorders (e.g., nephrolithiasis and fatty liver disease), neurological conditions, and cancer. Elucidating the molecular mechanisms governing the function of NaC transporters is crucial for understanding disease etiology and developing targeted therapeutic strategies. - Source: PubMed
