Fifty-six serum metabolites were correlated with SSB intake and a gut microbiota score based on these SSB-related species in consistent directions.

It is made by glycolysis and cleared by both tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle oxidation and gluconeogenesis. Severe lactate elevations are life-threatening, and modest elevations predict future diabetes. How lactate homeostasis is maintained, however, remains poorly understood. Here, we identify, in mice, homeostatic circuits regulating lactate production and consumption. Insulin induces lactate production by upregulating glycolysis. We find that hyperlactatemia inhibits insulin-induced glycolysis, thereby suppressing excess lactate production. Unexpectedly, insulin also promotes lactate TCA cycle oxidation. The mechanism involves lowering circulating fatty acids, which compete with lactate for mitochondrial oxidation. Similarly, lactate can promote its own consumption by lowering circulating fatty acids via the adipocyte-expressed G-protein-coupled receptor hydroxycarboxylic acid receptor 1 (HCAR1). Quantitative modeling suggests that these mechanisms suffice to produce lactate homeostasis, with robustness to noise and perturbation of individual regulatory mechanisms. Thus, through regulation of glycolysis and lipolysis, lactate homeostasis is maintained.","PeriodicalId":9840,"journal":{"name":"Cell metabolism","volume":"84 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":29.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143071940","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Expansion of therapeutic T cells employs hypermetabolic culture conditions to promote T cell expansion. We show that typical <em>in vitro</em> expansion conditions generate metabolically and functionally impaired T cells more reliant on aerobic glycolysis than those expanding <em>in vivo</em>. We used dichloroacetate (DCA) to modulate glycolytic metabolism during expansion, resulting in elevated mitochondrial capacity, stemness, and improved antitumor efficacy in murine T cell receptor (TCR)-Tg and human CAR-T cells. DCA-conditioned T cells surprisingly show no elevated intratumoral effector function but rather have improved engraftment. DCA conditioning decreases reliance on glucose, promoting usage of serum-prevalent physiologic carbon sources. Further, DCA conditioning promotes metabolic flux from mitochondria to chromatin, resulting in increased histone acetylation at key longevity genes. Thus, hyperglycemic culture conditions promote expansion at the expense of metabolic flexibility and suggest pharmacologic metabolic rewiring as a beneficial strategy for improvement of cellular immunotherapies.","PeriodicalId":9840,"journal":{"name":"Cell metabolism","volume":"40 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":29.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143049939","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the adverse effects of overtraining and their underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we show that overtraining induces hepatic fibrosis. Mechanistically, we find that excessive lactate accumulation in skeletal muscle leads to the lactylation of SH3 domain-containing 3 (SORBS3), triggering its liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS). LLPS of SORBS3 enhances its interaction with flotillin 1 and selectively facilitates the sorting of F-box protein 2 (FBXO2) into small extracellular vesicles, referred to as “lactate bodies.” Lactate bodies induce hepatocyte apoptosis followed by hepatic stellate cell activation via myeloid cell leukemia sequence 1 (MCL1)-BAX/BAK signaling. Inhibition of SORBS3 lactylation or FBXO2 disrupts lactate bodies formation and alleviates overtraining-triggered liver fibrosis. Likewise, reduction of muscle lactate bodies formation by salidroside attenuates overtraining-induced liver fibrosis. Collectively, we identify a process by which overtraining induces hepatic fibrosis, highlighting a potential therapeutic target for liver health.","PeriodicalId":9840,"journal":{"name":"Cell metabolism","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":29.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143049940","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In aged rats, ET administration enhances exercise endurance, muscle mass, and vascularization, concomitant with higher NAD<sup>+</sup> levels in muscle. Mechanistically, ET acts as an alternative substrate for cystathionine gamma-lyase (CSE), stimulating H<sub>2</sub>S production, which increases protein persulfidation of more than 300 protein targets. Among these, protein-persulfidation-driven activation of cytosolic glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (cGPDH) primarily contributes to the ET-induced NAD<sup>+</sup> increase.
