Despite a growing therapeutic armamentarium, RA remains incurable, and many patients suffer significant morbidity over time. The strongest genetic risk derives from HLA class II polymorphisms, implicating T cells as pathogenic drivers. Innate immune cells, e.g. monocytes and macrophages (Mⱷ) contribute to chronic tissue inflammation through an array of pro-inflammatory functions but also present antigen to autoreactive T cells. Differentiation, survival, and effector functions of both T cells and Mⱷ are ultimately controlled by their bioenergetic and biosynthetic programs, identifying cellular metabolism as a critical disease mechanism in RA.</div></div><div><h3>Objectives</h3><div>Summarize current knowledge about metabolic conditions in the RA joint and disease-relevant metabolic circuits shaping the effector repertoire of RA T cells and Mⱷ.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>The rheumatoid joint is a glucose deplete tissue environment, selecting for invading immune cells that can survive on non-glucose fuel sources. Inflamed synovium instead offers the amino acid glutamine and RA CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells and RA Mⱷ rely on glutamine and glutamate to support their pathogenic functions. The metabolic hallmark of RA T cells is their low mitochondrial performance, resulting in low ATP production, low generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and low availability of tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle intermediates, all shifting RA T cells towards autoreactivity. The underlying defect stems from insufficient repair of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Functional consequences include reversal of the TCA cycle, accumulation of citrate and lack of malate production. Excessive citrate promotes cytoskeletal hyperacetylation, creating hypermigratory and tissue-invasive T cells. Surplus acetyl-CoA supports lipid droplet formation and lipotoxicity. Lack of malate production disrupts the malate-aspartate shuttle, restricts recovery of cytosolic NAD and drives the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) into expansion. The bioenergetically stressed ER accumulates <em>TNF</em> mRNA and turns RA T cells into TNF superproducers. ATP low production renders RA T cells susceptible to cell death, depositing highly inflammatory mtDNA in the tissue. Mitochondrial deficiency leads to a slowdown in glycolysis and pyruvate processing, such that RA CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells shunt glucose towards the pentose phosphate pathway to support nucleotide synthesis and clonal proliferation. Metabolically deprived CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells partner with Mⱷ that have highly functional mitochondria. A hallmark of RA Mⱷ is the high expression of the DNA binding protein RFX5, which co-ordinates adaptations to metabolic needs with function. RFX5 upregulates HLA-DR expression and induces the glutaminolytic enzyme glutamate dehydrogenase 1 (GLUD1), providing bioenergetic resources for antigen pres","PeriodicalId":21715,"journal":{"name":"Seminars in arthritis and rheumatism","volume":"70 ","pages":"Article 152586"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142644771","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
