Abstract excerpt
Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (Pck1) is a metabolic enzyme that is integral to the gluconeogenic and glyceroneogenic pathways. However, Pck1's role in macrophage metabolism and function is unknown. Using stable isotopomer MS analysis in a mouse model with a myeloid cell-specific Pck1 deletion, we show here that this deletion increases the proinflammatory phenotype in macrophages. Incubation of LPS-stimulated...
