RESUMO

The gut microbiota regulates multiple facets of host metabolism and immunity through the production of signaling metabolites, such as polyamines which are small organic compounds that are essential to host cell growth and lymphocyte activation. Polyamines are most abundant in the intestinal lumen, where their synthesis by the gut microbiota is influenced by microbiome composition and host diet. Disruption of the host gut microbiome in metabolic syndrome and obesity-related type 2 diabetes (obesity/T2D) results in potential dysregulation of polyamine synthesis. A growing body of evidence suggests that restoration of the dysbiotic gut microbiota and polyamine synthesis is effective in ameliorating metabolic syndrome and strengthening the impaired immune responses of obesity/T2D. In this review, we discuss existing studies on gut microbiome determinants of polyamine synthesis, polyamine production in obesity/T2D, and evidence that demonstrates the potential of polyamines as a nutraceutical in obesity/T2D hosts.

RESUMO

Transmembrane protein engulfment receptors expressed on the surface of phagocytes engage ligands on apoptotic cells and debris to initiate a sequence of events culminating in material internalization and immunologically beneficial outcomes. Engulfment receptors are modular, comprised of functionally independent extracellular ligation domains and cytosolic signaling motifs. Cognate kinases, adaptors, and phosphatases regulate engulfment by controlling the degree of receptor activation in phagocyte plasma membranes, thus acting as receptor-proximal signaling modules. Here, we review recent efforts to reprogram phagocytes using modular synthetic receptors composed of antibody-based extracellular domains fused to engulfment receptor signaling domains. To aid the development of new phagocyte reprogramming methods, we then define the kinases, adaptors, and phosphatases that regulate a conserved family of engulfment receptors. Finally, we discuss current challenges and opportunities for the field.
