In addition to their role in cellular energy production, mitochondria are increasingly recognized as regulators of the innate immune response of phagocytes. Here, we demonstrate that altering expression levels of the mitochondria associated enzyme, cytidine monophosphate kinase 2 (CMPK2), disrupts mitochondrial physiology and significantly de-regulates the resting immune homeostasis of macrophages. Both CMPK2 silenced as well as constitutively over expressing macrophage lines portray mitochondrial stress with marked depolarization of their membrane potential, enhanced ROS and disturbed architecture culminating in the enhanced expression of the pro-inflammatory genes-IL1{beta}, TNF and IL8. Interestingly, the long-term modulation of CMPK2 expression resulted in an increased glycolytic flux of macrophages akin to the altered physiological state of activated M1 macrophages. While infection induced inflammation for restricting pathogens is regulated, our observation of a total dysregulation of basal inflammation by bidirectional alteration of CMPK2 expression, only highlights a critical role of this gene in mitochondria mediated control of inflammation.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
