Allergic inflammation triggers dyslipidemia via IgG signalling
Fernández-Gallego, Nieves; Castillo-González, Raquel; Moreno-Serna, Lucía; García-Cívico, Antonio J.; Sánchez-Martínez, Elisa; López-Sanz, CeliaBackground: Allergic diseases begin early in life and are often chronic, thus creating an inflammatory environment that may precede or exacerbate other pathologies. In this regard, allergy has been associated to metabolic disorders and with a higher risk of cardiovascular disease, but the underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Methods: We used a murine model of allergy and atherosclerosis, differ...
Allergic inflammation triggers dyslipidemia via IgG signalling
Fernández-Gallego, Nieves; Castillo-González, Raquel; Moreno-Serna, Lucía; García-Cívico, Antonio J.; Sánchez-Martínez, Elisa; López-Sanz, CeliaAllergic diseases begin early in life and are often chronic, thus creating an inflammatory environment that may lead to metabolic disorders, although the underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Here, we show that allergic inflammation induces diet-independent dyslipidemia in a mouse model of allergy and atherosclerosis. Using untargeted lipidomics in mouse plasma, we found that allergic inflammati...
Phagosomal removal of fungal melanin reprograms macrophage metabolism to promot...
Gonçalves, Samuel M.; Duarte-Oliveira, Cláudio; Campos, Cláudia F.; Aimanianda, Vishukumar; ter Horst, Rob; Leite, Luis; Mercier, ToineIn response to infection, macrophages adapt their metabolism rapidly to enhance glycolysis and fuel specialized antimicrobial effector functions. Here we show that fungal melanin is an essential molecule required for the metabolic rewiring of macrophages during infection with the fungal pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus. Using pharmacological and genetic tools, we reveal a molecular link between calcium sequestrat...

Ferritin H Deficiency in Myeloid Compartments Dysregulates Host Energy Metaboli...
Reddy, Vineel P.; Chinta, Krishna C.; Saini, Vikram; Glasgow, Joel N.; Hull, Travis D.; Traylor, Amie; Rey-Stolle, Fernanda; Soares, Miguel P.Iron is an essential factor for the growth and virulence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). However, little is known about the mechanisms by which the host controls iron availability during infection. Since ferritin heavy chain (FtH) is a major intracellular source of reserve iron in the host, we hypothesized that the lack of FtH would cause dysregulated iron homeostasis to exacerbate TB disease. Therefore, w...
