IRG1–itaconate axis in immunometabolism: mechanistic roles and therapeutic potential in inflammatory diseases [PDF]
Frontiers in ImmunologyCells can produce various metabolites, and both immune cells and the immune microenvironment are profoundly influenced by these metabolites. By reshaping the metabolic state of immune cells via metabolites, the host immune response can be effectively ...

4-Octyl Itaconate Attenuates Age-Induced Parotid Gland Dysfunction Through the Suppression of Fibrosis and Lipid Deposition by AMPKα/PPARα and the Inhibition of Oxidative Stress via the AMPKα/Nrf2 Signaling Pathway. [PDF]
FASEB J4‐Octyl itaconate (4‐OI) attenuates age‐induced parotid gland dysfunction through the suppression of fibrosis and lipid deposition by AMPKα/PPARα and the inhibition of oxidative stress via the AMPKα/Nrf2 signaling pathway. 4‐OI activates AMPKα, which in turn stimulates both the PPARα and Nrf2 pathways. Activation of PPARα enhances FAO and reduces lipid

Itaconate and obesity-related hormones promote tumor progression – new insights on metabolic dysfunction in early-onset colon cancer [PDF]
Frontiers in ImmunologyIntroductionObesity is a strong risk factor for early-onset colon cancer (EOCC) and is associated with chronic inflammation largely mediated by macrophages. The macrophage-specific metabolite itaconate promotes growth in several types of cancer; however,
