AMPK activation induces RALDH+ tolerogenic dendritic cells by rewiring glucose and lipid metabolism.
Article in The Journal of cell biology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Dendritic cell (DC) activation and function are underpinned by profound changes in cellular metabolism. Several studies indicate that the ability of DCs to promote tolerance is dependent on catabolic metabolism. Yet the contribution of AMP-activated kinase (AMPK), a central energy sensor promoting catabolism, to DC tolerogenicity remains unknown. Here, we show that AMPK activation renders human monocyte-derived DCs tolerogenic as evidenced by an enhanced ability to drive differentiation of regulatory T cells, a process dependent on increased RALDH activity. This is accompanied by several metabolic changes, including increased breakdown of glycerophospholipids, enhanced mitochondrial fission-dependent fatty acid oxidation, and upregulated glucose catabolism. This metabolic rewiring is functionally important as we found interference with these metabolic processes to reduce to various degrees AMPK-induced RALDH activity as well as the tolerogenic capacity of moDCs. Altogether, our findings reveal a key role for AMPK signaling in shaping DC tolerogenicity and suggest AMPK as a target to direct DC-driven tolerogenic responses in therapeutic settings.
