MetabolomicsBacterial Pathogens Hijack the Innate Immune Response by Activation of the Reverse Transsulfuration Pathway

The reverse transsulfuration pathway is the major route for the metabolism of sulfur-containing amino acids. The role of this metabolic pathway in macrophage response and function is unknown. We show that the enzyme cystathionine γ-lyase (CTH) is induced in macrophages infected with pathogenic ba...

MetabolomicsExercise Activates Interferon Immune Response of the Liver via Gpld1 to Enhance Antiviral Innate Immunity

Healthy behavioral patterns could modulate organ functions to enhance the body’s immunity. However, whether exercise regulates antiviral innate immunity remains elusive. Here, we found that exercise promotes type-I IFN (IFN-I) production in the liver and enhances IFN-I immune activity of the body...

MetabolomicsInnate Immune Training of Human Macrophages by Cathelicidin Analogs
Trained innate immunity can be induced in human macrophages by microbial ligands, but it is unknown if exposure to endogenous alarmins such as cathelicidins can have similar effects. Previously, we demonstrated sustained protection against infection by the chicken cathelicidin-2 analog DCATH-2. Thus...

MetabolomicsThe gut microbiota contributes to changes in the host immune response induced by Trichinella spiralis
The gut microbiota plays an important role in parasite-host interactions and the induction of immune defense responses. Trichinella spiralis is an important zoonotic parasite that can directly or indirectly interact with the host in the gut. Changes in the gut microbiota following infection with T. ...

MetabolomicsMicrobial metabolites calibrate innate immunity upon systemic viral infection

Gut microbiome dysbiosis is often associated with immune-mediated diseases. Here, we used germ-free (GF) mice, the synthetic minimal consortium OMM12, and specific pathogen-free (SPF) mice to dissect the causal influence of the microbiome on anti-viral immunity. The lack of microbial diversity af...

MetabolomicsThe Immune Response to Leads to Dichroism and Blue Pigmentation in Spotted Lanternfly Forewings
Coloration in creatures is a historical and longstanding scientific research hotspot for the profound significance of color. Normally, the blue color in nature is surprisingly scarce and produced by the micro- and nano-structures in most blue animals. Here, we report a dichromatic mechanism that the...

MetabolomicsHypusination Orchestrates the Antimicrobial Response of Macrophages
Innate responses of myeloid cells defend against pathogenic bacteria via inducible effectors. Deoxyhypusine synthase (DHPS) catalyzes the transfer of the N-moiety of spermidine to the lysine-50 residue of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 5A (EIF5A) to form the amino acid hypusine. Hypusinate...

MetabolomicsGut microflora alleviate immune response during E.coli-induced bladder cystits via AhR/MANF activation

In recent years, with the deepening of research on intestinal microbiota, we found intestinal microbiota plays an important role in host immune regulation and barrier maintenance through cross-talk between the microbiota and the host. New evidence suggests that disruption of the fragile balance w...

MetabolomicsPhosphoethanolamine Cytidylyltransferase 2 Integrates DAG Metabolism and TBK1 Activation to Regulate Antiviral Innate Immunity

Phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) biosynthesis is critical for membrane biology and cellular homeostasis. However, its specific role in antiviral innate immunity remains poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that inhibition of phosphoethanolamine cytidylyltransferase 2 (PCYT2), a key enzyme in...

MetabolomicsContribution of fungal microbiome to intestinal physiology, early-life immune development and mucosal inflammation in mice
The gut microbiome consists of a multi-kingdom microbial community. Whilst the role of bacteria as causal contributors governing host physiological development is well established, the role of fungi remains to be determined. Here, we use germ-free mice colonized with defined species of bacteria, fun...
