Exercise enhances physical performance and reduces the risk of many disorders such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, dementia and cancer. Exercise characteristically incites an inflammatory response, notably in skeletal muscles. While some effector mechanisms have been identified, regul...
Background: Blocking glycolysis inhibits regulatory T cells (Tregs), which are often hijacked by tumor cells whose survival relies on glycolysis to inhibit antitumor immunity. However, how glycolysis influences Treg proliferation/differentiation remains unclear. Monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs...
Background: The objective response rate of anti-programmed death receptor 1 (PD-1) immunotherapy in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains limited. The tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment mediated by regulatory T cells (Tregs) is a key bottleneck. The traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) compo...
Regulatory T cells (Tregs) expand during Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection and suppress T cell mediated control. Whether Mtb actively contributes to this process is unclear. Here, using a genome-wide mutant library, we show that expression of Mtb Rv1272c, an ATP-binding cassette transpor...
Metabolic regulation is central to the tumor suppressor function of p53. Here we report that propionyl-CoA metabolic remodeling and epigenetic changes underpin p53-mediated restraint of autoimmunity through regulatory T (Treg) cells. By analyzing the human patients with autoimmune diseases, we fo...
