摘要:

近年来,免疫代谢已成为一个新的研究领域,旨在探讨代谢与免疫之间的相互关系。大量研究表明,为了满足与增殖、活化和特定功能相关的能量需求,T细胞在分化过程中会重编程其代谢模式。例如,效应T细胞的增殖与分化需要启动脂肪酸合成代谢,而调节性T细胞和记忆T细胞的分化与成熟则主要依赖于脂肪酸氧化代谢。脂肪酸不仅是细胞膜的重要组成部分,在生物学过程中也发挥多种功能。本文综述了脂肪酸代谢的2个关键过程(脂肪酸合成和脂肪酸氧化)对T细胞增殖、分化和功能的调控作用,以期为临床自身免疫性疾病的干预提供新靶点和新策略。

Abstract:

In recent years, immunometabolism has emerged as a new research field aimed at exploring the interrelationship between metabolism and immunity. Numerous studies have shown that to meet the energy demands associated with proliferation, activation, and specific functions, T cells reprogram their metabolic patterns during differentiation. For instance, the proliferation and differentiation of effector T cells require the activation of fatty acid synthesis metabolism, while the differentiation and maturation of regulatory T cells and memory T cells primarily rely on fatty acid oxidation metabolism. Fatty acids are not only essential components of cell membranes but also play multiple roles in biological processes. This review summarizes the regulatory roles of two key processes in fatty acid metabolism(fatty acid synthesis and fatty acid oxidation) in T cell proliferation, differentiation, and function, with the aim of providing new targets and strategies for the intervention of clinical autoimmune diseases.
