文摘
The hydroxycarboxylic acid receptors (HCA<sub>1–3sub>) are a family of G-protein-coupled receptors that are critical for sensing endogenous intermediates of metabolism. All three receptors are predominantly expressed on adipocytes and mediate anti-lipolytic effects. In addition to adipocytes, HCA<sub>2sub> is highly expressed on immune cells, including macrophages, monocytes, neutrophils and dermal dendritic cells, among other cell types. The endogenous ligand for HCA<sub>2sub> is beta-hydroxybutyrate (β-OHB), a ketone body produced by the liver through β-oxidation when an individual is in a negative energy balance. Recent studies demonstrate that HCA<sub>2sub> mediates profound anti-inflammatory effects in a variety of tissues, indicating that HCA<sub>2sub> may be an important therapeutic target for treating inflammatory disease processes. This review summarizes the roles of HCA<sub>2sub> on inflammation in a number of tissues and clinical states.
