Background: Glucosamine is an amino sugar that has immunoregulatory effects on T cell-mediated diseases. Results: Glucosamine inhibits Th1, Th2, iTreg cells, but promotes Th17 cell development through interference with N-glycosylation of CD25. Conclusion: Glucosamine modulates T cell differentiation in vivo and subsequently influences the progression and severity of autoimmune diseases. Significance: Glucosamine-mediated modulation of CD25 glycosylation can be beneficial to controlling…

Glycans as Key Checkpoints of T Cell Activity and Function

How specific glycans (with a focus on N-linked glycans) act as regulators of T cell biology and their implications in disease are discussed.

The Modulatory Roles of N-glycans in T-Cell-Mediated Autoimmune Diseases

This review summarizes and highlights the modulatory effects of N-glycosylation in several autoimmune diseases, including multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, inflammatory bowel disease, and type 1 diabetes mellitus.

Glucosamine Interferes With Myelopoiesis and Enhances the Immunosuppressive Activity of Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells

A novel role for GlcN in myelopoiesis and MDSC activity is revealed involving a potential link between Glcn and immune system, as well as the new therapeutic benefit.

The Role of B Cell and T Cell Glycosylation in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

In T cells from lupus patients, a decrease in galectin 1 binding is observed, which could favor activation and reduce apoptosis, which has potential use as biomarkers.

Modulation of glucose metabolism by 2-Deoxy-D-Glucose (2DG) promotes IL-17 producing human T cell subsets

It is found that glycolysis is required for T cell receptor (TCR) -mediated activation and proliferation of human naive CD4+ T cells but had less of an impact on memory subsets, and 2DG could enrich IL-17 secreting human effector T cell subsets and their cellular functions.

Glucosamine prevents polarization of cytotoxic granules in NK-92 cells by disturbing FOXO1/ERK/paxillin phosphorylation

It is demonstrated that GlcN affects NK-92 cell cytotoxicity by altering the distribution of cathepsin C, a cysteine protease required for granzyme processing in cytotoxic granules, and it is elucidated that repositioning ofCatheps in C is a consequence of altered signaling pathways of cytot toxic granule movement.

Melibiosamine, a novel oligosaccharide, suppresses mitogen-induced IL-2 production via inactivation of NFAT and NFκB in Jurkat cells

Pharmacologic inhibition of N-linked glycan trimming with kifunensine disrupts GLUT1 trafficking and glucose uptake.

Glycans as shapers of tumour microenvironment: A sweet driver of T‐cell‐mediated anti‐tumour immune response

How glycans modulate the glyco‐metabolic landscape in the tumour microenvironment is discussed, and whether glycans can synergize with immunotherapy as a way of rewiring T‐cell effector functions against cancer cells is discussed.

N-Linked Glycosylation-Dependent and -Independent Mechanisms Regulating CTRP12 Cleavage, Secretion, and Stability.

It is shown that three conserved asparagine residues play important roles in modulating CTRP12 cleavage, secretion, and stability, and that increasing the flux through the hexosamine biosynthesis pathway by exogenous glucosamine, known to disrupt protein glycosylation, also promoted CTRP 12 cleavage.

N-Acetylglucosaminyltransferase V (Mgat5)-Mediated N-Glycosylation Negatively Regulates Th1 Cytokine Production by T Cells1

Positive regulation of TCR signaling by β1,6GlcNAc N-glycans promotes development of Th2 over Th1 responses, enhances polarization of Th1 cells, and suggests a mechanism for the increased autoimmune disease susceptibility observed in Mgat5−/− mice.

Control of T Cell-mediated Autoimmunity by Metabolite Flux to N-Glycan Biosynthesis*

The results indicate that metabolite flux through the hexosamine and N-glycan pathways conditionally regulates autoimmunity by modulating multiple T cell functionalities downstream of β1,6GlcNAc-branched N- glycans, which suggests metabolic therapy as a potential treatment for autoimmune disease.
