Suppressing neutrophil itaconate production attenuates Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia.
Mycoplasma pneumoniae is a common cause of community-acquired pneumonia in which neutrophils play a critical role. Immune-responsive gene 1 (IRG1), responsible for itaconate production, has emerged as an important regulator of inflammation and infection,

Dimethyl itaconate suppresses dendritic cell and CD8+ T cell responses to halt vitiligo
Background Although dendritic cell (DC)- and CD8+ T cell-mediated autoimmunity is critical for destroying melanocytes in vitiligo, treatment options remain limited by the absence of therapies that cotarget both cell types.

Itaconate facilitates viral infection via alkylating GDI2 and retaining Rab GTPase on the membrane
Metabolic reprogramming of host cells plays critical roles during viral infection. Itaconate, a metabolite produced from cis-aconitate in the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA) by immune responsive gene 1 (IRG1), is involved in regulating innate immune ...
