Component

Glutaminolysis

Glutaminolysis. Species, exposure and limitations are retained in each linked claim.

1 recorded relationships. Experimental role, claim status and evidence remain attached to each record.

How nutrients influence it

Every nutrient with a recorded effect on this component, credited to the nutrient that acted rather than the chapter that recorded it. Open a nutrient to see the findings and the conditions they were measured under.

How nutrients reach it in more than one step

Chains of two or more recorded steps that end here, grouped by the nutrient they start from. Each step is a separate finding, so a chain is a route a mechanism could take, not proof that it does.

Where it participates (unsigned role)

  1. Network-level integration of transcriptomics and metabolomics data identifies glycolysis, glutaminolysis and the cholesterol synthesis pathway as indispensable for the induction of trained immunity by beta-glucan in monocytes, accumulation of fumarate due to glutamine replenishment of the TCA cycle integrates immune and metabolic circuits to induce monocyte epigenetic reprogramming by inhibiting KDM5 histone demethylases, fumarate itself induced an epigenetic program similar to beta-glucan-induced trained immunity, and inhibition of glutaminolysis and cholesterol synthesis in mice reduced the induction of trained immunity by beta-glucan.

    exposure
    Beta-glucan training with inhibition of glutaminolysis and cholesterol synthesis, and fumarate given alone
    limitations
    Fumarate reproducing the epigenetic programme on its own is the strongest part. The link runs through inhibition of a demethylase, which is not the same modification as an acetylation mark.
