VSIG4 inhibits proinflammatory macrophage activation by reprogramming mitochondrial pyruvate metabolism
Abstract
Macrophage differentiation and inflammatory function are controlled by cell metabolism. Here, the authors use a viral hepatitis model and a high-fat diet model of insulin resistance to show how VSIG4 inhibits inflammatory macrophage activation by modulating mitochondrial pyruvate metabolism.
