AdipoR1 promotes pathogenic Th17 differentiation by regulating mitochondrial function through FUNDC1.

ABSTRACT: Adiponectin receptor 1 ( Adipor1) deficiency has been shown to inhibit Th17 cell differentiation and reduce joint inflammation and bone erosion in antigen-induced arthritis mice. Additional emerging evidence indicates that Th17 cells may differentiate into pathogenic (pTh17) and non-pathogenic (npTh17) cells, with the pTh17 cells playing a crucial role in numerous autoimmune and inflammatory conditions. In the current study, we found that Adipor1 deficiency inhibited pTh17 differentiation in vitro and induced mitochondrial dysfunction in pTh17 cells. RNA sequencing demonstrated a significant increase in the expression levels of Fundc1, a gene related to mitochondrial function, in Adipor1-deficient CD4 ⁺ T cells. Fundc1 knockdown in Ad
