The heterogeneous and immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) remains one of the major factors to the poor immunotherapeutic response in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are central orchestrators of this suppressive niche, yet the metabolic programs regul...
To investigate the impact of Wdr4 on the metabolic reprogramming of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), we established an orthotopic HCC model in Wdr4-f/f and Wdr4 conditional knockout (Wdr4-cKO) mice. TAMs were subsequently isolated via flow cytometry-based cel...
Single-cell metabolomics reveals cell heterogeneity and elucidates intracellular molecular mechanisms. However, general concentration measurement of metabolites can only provide a static delineation of metabolomics, lacking the metabolic activity information of biological pathways. Herein, we dev...
Hyperuricemia (HUA) is a metabolic disorder marked by increased blood uric acid (UA) levels, closely linked to conditions such as gout. UA-induced macrophage M1 polarization fundamentally exacerbates inflammatory pathophysiology, but current HUA-specific immunoregulatory treatments are inadequat...
Cancer cells exhibit metabolic plasticity to meet oncogene-driven dependencies while coping with nutrient availability. A better understanding of how systemic metabolism impacts the accumulation of metabolites that reprogram the tumor microenvironment and drive cancer could facilitate development...
