N-methyladenosine (m6A) is a eukaryotic post-transcriptional modification involved in cell growth and developmental processes, including RNA transcription, alternative splicing, degradation, and translation. It is also involved in the development of various cancers. Metabolic reprogramming enables cancer cells to obtain nutrition from the tumor microenvironment, which is a hallmark of cancer. Numerous studies have shown that m6A modification induces metabolic reprogramming in cancer by regulating the expression of metabolic core genes or activation of metabolic signaling pathways. Digestive system malignancies include esophageal, gastric, colorectal, liver, pancreatic, and other cancers, all of which are associated with poor outcomes. This review summarizes the role of m6A modification in the metabolic reprogramming of digestive system malignancies, with the aim of identifying therapeutic strategies.

Neuroimmunometabolism describes how neuroimmune cells, such as microglia, adapt their intracellular metabolic pathways to alter their immune functions in the CNS. Emerging evidence indicates that neurons also orchestrate the microglia mediated immune response through neuro-immune crosstalk perhaps through metabolic signalling. However, little is known about how the brain's metabolic microenvironment and microglial intracellular metabolism orchestrate the neuroimmune response in healthy and diseased brains.

Significant progress in determining the molecular origins and resistance mechanisms of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) has improved our understanding of the disease's clinical diversity. These factors greatly impact prognosis in MCL patients. Given the dynamic alterations in MCL clones and disease evolution, it is crucial to recognize high-risk prognostic factors at diagnosis and relapse.

Metabolic reprogramming of tumor cells dynamically reshapes the distribution of nutrients and signals in the tumor microenvironment (TME), affecting intercellular interactions and resulting in metabolic immune suppression. Increased glucose uptake and metabolism are characteristic of many tumors. Meanwhile, the progression of colorectal carcinoma (CRC) relies on lipid metabolism.

RNF7 (Ring Finger Protein 7) is a key component of CRLs (Cullin-RING-type E3 ubiquitin ligases) and has been found to possess intrinsic anti-ROS capabilities. Aberrant expression of RNF7 has been observed in various tumor types and is known to significantly influence tumor initiation and progression. However, the specific role of RNF7 in glioblastoma remains unclear.

Allergic diseases are a group of chronic inflammatory disorders driven by abnormal immune responses. Dendritic cells (DCs) play a pivotal role in the initiation and progression of allergic diseases by modulating T cell responses. Extensive progress has been made in characterizing crucial roles of metabolic reprogramming in the regulation of immune cell functions.
