ACOD1 (also known as IRG1) has emerged as a regulator of immunometabolism that operates by producing metabolite itaconate. Here, we report a key role of STING1 (also known as STING and TMEM173) in mediating ACOD1 expression in myeloid cells in response to toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling. The activation of STING1 through exogenous cyclic dinucleotides (e.g., 3'3'-cGAMP) or endogenous gain-of-function mutation (e.g., V155M) enhances lipopolysaccharide-induced ACOD1 expression and itaconate production in macrophages and monocytes, whereas the deletion of STING1 blocks this process. The adaptor protein MYD88, instead of DNA sensor cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (CGAS), favors STING1-dependent ACOD1 expression. Mechanistically, MYD88 directly blocks autophagic degradation of STING1 and causes subsequent IRF3/JUN-mediated ACOD1 gene transcription. Consequently, the conditional deletion of STING1 in myeloid cells fails to produce ACOD1 and itaconate, thereby protecting mice against endotoxemia and polymicrobial sepsis. Our results, therefore, establish a direct link between TLR4 signaling and ACOD1 expression through the STING1-MYD88 complex during septic shock.

Protective role of aconitate decarboxylase 1 in neuroinflammation-induced dysfunctions of the paraventricular thalamus and sleepiness.

Sleepiness is commonly associated with neuroinflammation; however, the underlying neuroregulatory mechanisms remain unclear. Previous research suggests that the paraventricular thalamus (PVT) plays a crucial role in regulating sleep-wake dynamics; thus, neurological abnormalities in the PVT may contribute to neuroinflammation-induced sleepiness. To test this hypothesis, we performed electroencephalography recordings in mice treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and found that the mice exhibited temporary sleepiness lasting for 7 days.

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, but its role during M. pneumoniae infection remains unknown.

Article Synopsis
- - This study focused on how the dengue virus affects host cell mechanisms and gene expression, highlighting its potential for early prediction and detection of the disease in patients.
- - Using RNA sequencing, researchers compared the transcriptomes of 16 dengue patients to 10 healthy individuals, identifying thousands of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) associated with various dengue severities.
- - Key findings included consistent upregulation of certain genes across all dengue patients, providing potential biomarkers for predicting severe dengue, and the involvement of critical biological pathways related to immune response and viral processes.

Article Synopsis
- * In experiments, osteoclast differentiation increased in bone marrow macrophages lacking Irg1, alongside enhanced expression of osteoclast-related genes and a notable increase in Grk5 expression.
- * Despite changes in cellular activity, Irg1 knockout mice did not show significant differences in bone structure or osteoclast numbers compared to normal mice, but exhibited higher levels of inflammatory factors, suggesting that the Irg1-Grk5 pathway could become a target for treating related diseases.
