KEGG for taxonomy-based analysis of pathways and genomes

Minoru Kanehisa et al.

Summary: KEGG is a manually curated database resource that integrates various biological objects classified into systems, genomic, chemical, and health information. Through the KEGG identifier and URL links, users can retrieve and browse information for different biological objects, including pathway maps, hierarchy, and genomes. KEGG has also improved KO assignment annotation and included more eukaryotic genomes for better representation of organisms in the taxonomic tree. The taxonomy mapping enables analysis of the conservation of functional and physical links among genes in different organism groups.

Metabolic adaptation of lymphocytes in immunity and disease

Nicole M. Chapman et al.

Summary: Adaptive immune responses mediated by T cells and B cells are crucial for protective immunity against pathogens and tumors. Understanding how metabolic plasticity and adaptation dictate functional specialization of immune cells is fundamental to our understanding and therapeutic modulation of the immune system. Extensive progress has been made in characterizing the effects of metabolic networks on immune cell fate and function in different immunological contexts.

IRF4 as an Oncogenic Master Transcription Factor

Regina Wan Ju Wong et al.

Summary: IRF4 is a crucial transcription factor involved in regulating cell identity and immune responses. It plays essential roles in normal lymphocyte development and immunity by interacting with upstream signaling pathways and binding partners. However, when abnormally expressed, IRF4 can act as an oncogene and induce oncogenic transcription programs. IRF4 and its upstream factor NF-kappa B form a transcriptional regulatory circuit to maintain the oncogenic transcriptional program in malignant lymphoid cells.

The cancer metabolic reprogramming and immune response

Longzheng Xia et al.

Summary: The overlapping metabolic reprogramming between cancer and immune cells is an important factor affecting the antitumor immune response, involving metabolic competition, nutrient limitation, and impaired immune cell function. Studies have shown that metabolic reprogramming is essential for maintaining immune cell homeostasis and executing effector functions during immune responses.
