Mycoplasma gallisepticum uses itaconate-associated mitochondrial inhibition to suppress host immunometabolism
Many pathogens actively suppress early host immune responses to enhance their fitness. Mitochondria function as key regulators of immune activation, yet whether pathogens suppress host immunity by manipulating mitochondrial metabolism in vivo remains largely unknown. During an innate immune response, the metabolite itaconate increases in abundance and acts as an immunomodulator, due to its…
