摘要

B cells have crucial roles in the initiation and progression of many pathological conditions, and several therapeutic strategies have targeted the function of these cells. The advent of immunometabolism has provided compelling evidence that the metabolic reprogramming of immune cells can dramatically alter physiopathological immune activities. A better knowledge of the metabolic profiles of B cells can provide valuable means for developing therapies tuning defined cell pathways. Here we review the cellular and molecular mechanisms by which immunometabolism controls the physiology and pathophysiology of B cells and discuss the experimental evidence linking B cell metabolism to health, autoimmunity, and cancer. Considering that several metabolic pathways in B cells are involved differently, or even in opposite ways, in health and disease, we discuss how targeted modulation of B cell immunometabolism could be exploited mechanistically to rebalance abnormal B cell functions that have become altered in disease states.
