Leptin decreases Th17/Treg ratio to facilitate neuroblastoma via inhibiting long-chain fatty acid catabolism in tumor cells by Meng Li, Di Li, Hai-Yun Wang, Weixin Zhang, Zhenjian Zhuo, Huiqin Guo, Jiabin Liu, Yue Zhuo, Jue Tang, Jing He, Lei Miao

“…Leptin over-expression forced naïve CD4+ T cells to differentiate into Treg cells instead of Th17 cells, which benefited from NB cell proliferation, migration, and drug resistance. Mechanically, leptin in NB cells blunted the activity of carnitine palmitoyltransferase 2 (CPT2), the key enzyme for LCAC catabolism, by inhibiting sirtuin 3-mediated CPT2 deacetylation, which depresses oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) for energy supply and increases lactic acid (LA) production from glycolysis to modulate CD4+ T cell differentiation. …”
