Crosstalk between arachidonic acid metabolism and glycolysis drives integrated metabolic-inflammatory reprogramming in macrophages
2026
Overview
Arachidonic acid (AA)-derived lipid mediators play pivotal roles in inflammation and its resolution. While glycolysis is a key metabolic pathway determining macrophage polarization, the crosstalk between specific AA metabolites and glycolytic reprogramming remains poorly understood. In this study, we explore whether certain AA metabolites modulate macrophage function through covalent protein modification, with therapeutic implications for myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. Unlike conventional specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs) that primarily act via receptors, here we identify an endogenous electrophilic AA metabolite, 15-keto-prostaglandin F2α (15KPF), that covalently modifies pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) at Cys49. Such interaction enhanced
tetramerization, suppressed the
axis, redirected energy metabolism from glycolysis to mitochondrial respiration, and promoted pro-resolving M2 macrophage polarization. Mutated
(C49S) failed to inhibit STAT3 signaling and blocked the effect of 15KPF on M1 to M2 phenotype switch. Moreover, 15KPF reduced infarct size and preserved myocardial integrity in
model. Taken together, covalent 15-keto-PGF2α-
conjugation represents a self-regulatory mechanism linking AA metabolism to glycolysis to drive macrophage metabolic-inflammatory reprogramming. This pathway positions 15KPF as a promising therapeutic candidate for inflammatory and metabolic diseases, including ischemia-reperfusion injury, and distinguishes it from synthetic allosteric PKM2 activators such as TEPP-46.
