Research progress in metabolic reprogramming of endothelial cells and T cells and potential therapeutic targets for chronic inflammation

Metabolic reprogramming plays a very important role in the immunoregulatory process, and T cells, as the indispensable part in the immune response, realize the change of function and state through metabolic reprogramming. And endothelial cells exhibit similar metabolic reprogramming. This review explores the interaction between endothelial cells and T cells to reveal the mechanism of the former as non-professional antigen presenting cells to recruit and activate the latter and the specific mechanism of cytokines produced by the latter in inflammatory response to regulate the function and state of the former, aiming to find the potential therapeutic targets for chronic inflammation and provide new ideas for the treatment.
