Abstract

Alteration in the Th17/Treg cell balance is implicated in various autoimmune diseases and these disease-associated pathologies. Increasing investigations have shown that glutamine metabolism regulates the differentiation of Th17 and Treg cells. Here we summarize the mechanisms by which glutamine metabolism regulates Th17/Treg cell fate. Some examples of a glutamine metabolism-dependent modulation of the development and progression of several Th17 Treg cell-associated diseases are provided afterward. This review will provide a comprehensive understanding of the importance of glutamine metabolism in the fate of Th17 Treg cell differentiation.
