Allergic rhinitis (AR) and asthma (AS) are two of the most common chronic respiratory diseases a major public health concern. Multiple studies have demonstrated role nasal bacteriome in AR AS, but little is known about airway mycobiome its potential association to inflammatory diseases.

Neutrophils are critical for host defense against fungi. However, the short life span and lack of genetic tractability primary human neutrophils has limited in vitro analysis neutrophil-fungal interactions. Human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived (iNeutrophils) provide a genetically tractable system to study responses neutrophils. Here, we show that deletion transcription factor GATA1 from iPSCs results iNeutrophils with improved antifungal activity Aspergillus fumigatus. GATA1-knockout (KO) have increased maturation, pattern recognition receptor expression neutrophil effector functions compared wild-type iNeutrophils. also shift their metabolism following stimulation fungal β-glucan pentose phosphate pathway (PPP), similar Furthermore, integrin CD18 attenuates ability GATA1-KO kill A. fumigatus but is not necessary metabolic shift. Collectively, these findings support as robust immunity identified specific roles response.

Pulmonary diseases, arising from infections caused by bacteria, fungi, and viruses, or stemming underlying genetic factors are one of the leading causes mortality in humans, accounting for millions deaths every year. At onset pulmonary crucial roles played phagocytic immune cells, particularly tissue-resident macrophages, regulating response at mucosal barrier. Recent strides have illuminated pivotal role host bioenergetics modulated metabolites derived both pathogens hosts influencing pathophysiology major organs. Their influence extends to processes such as infiltration activation polarization phenomenon. Furthermore, host-derived metabolites, itaconate, contribute promotion anti-inflammatory responses, thereby preventing immunopathology facilitating preservation niches thrive long-term. This review explores recent advancements field immunometabolism, with a particular emphasis on intricacies disease progression bacteria P. aeruginosa, M. tuberculosis S. aureus fungi like C. albicans.

SUMMARY The ability to overcome metabolic stress is a major determinant of outcomes during infections. Pathogens face nutrient and oxygen deprivation in host niches their encounter with immune cells. Immune cells require adaptations for producing antimicrobial compounds mounting antifungal inflammation. Infection also triggers systemic changes organ metabolism energy expenditure that range from an enhanced produce robust response reduced as infection progresses, which coincides dysfunction. Competition nutrients between hosts pathogens means successful survival recovery balance elimination the pathogen by systems (resistance), doing so minimal damage tissues organs (tolerance). Here, we discuss our current knowledge pathogen, cell fungal infections, impact disorders, such obesity diabetes. We put forward idea that, while use regulation proliferation responses (i.e., resistance) has been growing over years, need study mechanisms control tolerance pathogens. A comprehensive understanding how resistance interventions may provide insights into therapeutic strategies could be used adjunctly drugs improve patient outcomes.
