firstly, the accumulation of AGEs engages their receptor RAGE on macrophages, initiating robust pro-inflammatory signaling cascades such as the NF-B pathway, which transcriptionally upregulates key M1 markers (e.g., TNF-, IL-6, iNOS) while suppressing M2-associated genes like Arg1 (Dong et al., 2016
We go on to show that rewiring 2-OG metabolism through ABHD11 inhibition yields distinct outcomes, depending on the cell type
