The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), awarded a Project Grant of $558,045 to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Inc. (Bidmc) on May 7, 2025. The grant will fund research to investigate how the enzyme protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) controls the development and function of regulatory T cells by acting on metabolic enzymes involved in glycolysis and the pentose phosphate pathway. The research aims to determine how PP2A regulates these metabolic processes, establish that a metabolite of the pentose phosphate pathway can control inflammation and autoimmunity in mice, and examine the aberrant expression of pentose phosphate pathway enzymes in individuals with systemic lupus erythematosus. The 5-year project will utilize advanced cell-targeted delivery methods and genetically engineered mouse models to advance understanding of how T cell function is regulated through the control of intracellular metabolic enzymes, with the goal of identifying novel targets to maintain immune system homeostasis and mitigate autoimmune disorders.
