Excitatory amino acid transporter supports inflammatory macrophage responses

Excitatory amino acid transporters(EAATs)are responsible for excitatory amino acid transportation and are associated with auto-immune diseases in the central nervous system and peripheral tissues.However,the subcellular location and function of EAAT2 in macrophages are still obscure.In this study,we demonstrated that LPS stimulation increases expression of EAAT2(coded by Slc1a2)via NF-κB signal-ing.EAAT2 is necessary for inflammatory macrophage polarization through sustaining mTORC1 activa-tion.Mechanistically,lysosomal EAAT2 mediates lysosomal glutamate and aspartate efflux to maintain V-ATPase activation,which sustains macropinocytosis and mTORC1.We also found that mice with mye-loid depletion of Slc1a2 show alleviated inflammatory responses in LPS-induced systemic inflammation and high-fat diet induced obesity.Notably,patients with type Ⅱ diabetes(T2D)have a higher level of expression of lysosomal EAAT2 and activation of mTORC1 in blood macrophages.Taken together,our study links the subcellular location of amino acid transporters with the fate decision of immune cells,which provides potential therapeutic targets for the treatment of inflammatory diseases.
