A growing body of evidence highlights the crucial role of metabolic reprogramming in activated immune cells, significantly contributing to both the initiation and progression of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases. The voltage-gated H channel (Hv1) has been reported to be involved in microglial activation and acts as a key driver of neuroinflammation. This study aimed to explore how Hv1-mediated metabolic reprogramming contributes to neuroinflammation and to assess the therapeutic potential of the Hv1 inhibitor 2-GBI in a model of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced neuroinflammation. We investigated the influence of 2-GBI on the generation of ROS, metabolic reprogramming, and pro-inflammatory mediator production in vitro and examined the therapeutic effect of 2-GBI on microglial activation and hippocampal neuroinflammation in vivo. The results indicated that 2-GBI attenuated the LPS-induced pro-inflammatory response and aerobic glycolysis in microglia, specifically mitigating HIF1α-mediated upregulation of glycolysis. 2-GBI exerted a protective effect against LPS-induced neuroinflammation through HIF1α pathway-regulated aerobic glycolysis. Using a transwell coculture system, we demonstrated that 2-GBI reversed PC12 cell death caused by BV2-mediated neuroinflammation. In vivo experiments further suggested that 2-GBI mitigated neuroinflammatory processes and cognitive dysfunction via microglial metabolic reprogramming. Collectively, our results highlight the potential of Hv1 inhibition as a therapeutic strategy for alleviating LPS-induced neuroinflammation by modulating microglial metabolic reprogramming.

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is one of the most common brain malignancies characterized by an inflammatory microenvironment and metabolic reprogramming. This study aims to investigate the causal relationship between inflammatory factors (IFs) and GBM, as well as the potential mediating effects of specific plasma metabolites. We used a bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) approach to investigate the causal associations between 91 IFs and GBM.

The metabolism of cancer and immune cells plays a crucial role in the initiation, progression, and metastasis of cancer. Cancer cells often undergo metabolic reprogramming to sustain their rapid growth and proliferation, along with meeting their energy demands and biosynthetic needs. Nevertheless, immune cells execute their immune response functions through the specific metabolic pathways, either to recognize, attack, and eliminate cancer cells or to promote the growth or metastasis of cancer cells.

Sinonasal inverted papilloma (SNIP) is characterized by a high recurrence rate and potential for malignant transformation. Although metabolic reprogramming plays a role in benign neoplasms, the specific metabolic pathways and biomarkers involved in SNIP pathogenesis remain unclear. RNA sequencing on paired SNIP and normal tissues identified altered genes with enzyme annotations and metabolic pathways by intersecting our cohort data (GSE270193, N=2) with the GSE193016 (N=4) dataset using Ingenuity Pathway Analysis.

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases are the most frequent cause of death worldwide. The clinical complications of atherosclerosis are closely linked to the haematopoietic and immune systems, which maintain homeostatic functions and vital processes in the body. The nodes linking metabolism and inflammation are receiving increasing attention because they are inextricably linked to inflammatory manifestations of non-communicable diseases, including atherosclerosis.
