Summary of H2020-ERC-2016-CONSOLIDATOR GRANT 725091-MITOMAD.

Functional characterisation of mitochondrial metabolic adaptations to innate sensing in dendritic cell subsets.

The general issue being addressed by our project is how dendritic cells (DCs) and macrophages sense the tissue environment and microbial, how they translate this sensing into metabolic signals, with a particular focus on mitochondrial metabolism, and how this knowledge can be applied for improved immunotherapy. This project aim to identify new targets to exploit DCs for improved immunotherapy and this may generate new therapeutic strategies in diseases related to the immune system, ranging from tackling antibiotic-resistance by learning about the metabolic requirements of trained immunity, modulating responses to dampen immunity in autoimmunity, chronic inflammation or asthma, or enhancing immunity against tumors. The overall objectives are:

  1. Characterize the metabolic reprogramming after DC stimulation, with particular emphasis in analysis of mitochondrial metabolism.
  2. Dissection of molecular mechanisms connecting innate sensing and mitochondrial adaptations in DCs.
  3. Analysis of the impact of manipulation of mitochondrial biology on DC metabolism and function.
  4. Assess the functional in vivo effects of targeting mitochondrial biology in DCs in homeostasis and disease.
