Metabolic reprogramming plays a central role in T cell activation and differentiation, and the inhibition of key metabolic pathways in activated T cells represents a logical approach for the development of new therapeutic agents for treating autoimmune diseases. The widely prescribed antidiabetic drug metformin and the glycolytic inhibitor 2-deoxyg...

... Hence, inhibition of glucose metabolism by metformin can also affect activities of other cells including immune cells (Nojima & Wada, 2023) and may modulate efficacy of metformin in clinical trials. In fact, earlier studies showed that metformin represses mitochondrial metabolism and T-cell-mediated immune response (Tan et al., 2020;Xu et al., 2021). However, cancer cells have been shown to reprogram several pathways other than glucose metabolism to harness energy as well as building blocks (Altman et al., 2016;De Berardinis & Chandel, 2016;Martínez-Reyes & Chandel, 2021;Yang & Vousden, 2016). ...
