Cover Story: The innate immune system displays memory characteristics characterized by stronger responses to a secondary challenge. This is termed trained immunity and relies on epigenetic and metabolic rewiring. We hypothesized that the redox molecule glutathione plays a role in the induction of trained immunity. Here we show that the modulation of glutathione levels reduced pro-inflammatory cytokine production in human monocytes. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes involved in glutathione metabolism were associated with changes in pro-inflammatory cytokine production capacity upon trained immunity. Also, plasma glutathione concentration was positively associated with pro-inflammatory cytokine production. In conclusion, glutathione metabolism is involved in the induction of trained immunity, and future studies are warranted to explore its functional consequences in human diseases. View this paper
