MetabolomicsSnail reprograms glucose metabolism by repressing PFKP allowing cancer cell survival under metabolic stress
Dynamic regulation of glucose flux between aerobic glycolysis and the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) during epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is not well-understood. Here we show that Snail (SNAI1), a key transcriptional repressor of EMT, regulates glucose flux toward PPP, allowing cancer cel...

MetabolomicsMetabolic profiling of prostate cancer in skeletal microenvironments identifies G6PD as a key mediator of growth and survival

The spread of cancer to bone is invariably fatal, with complex cross-talk between tumor cells and the bone microenvironment responsible for driving disease progression. By combining in silico analysis of patient datasets with metabolomic profiling of prostate cancer cells cultured with bone cells...

MetabolomicsThioridazine induce phospholipid accumulation and necroptosis in breast cancer cells
An antipsychotic drug, Thioridazine has been shown to inhibit a broad spectrum of cancer cells. However, its molecular mechanism is still not well understood. In the present study, we have shown that thioridazine induces cytostatic effects in both parental and tamoxifen-resistant cancer cells throug...

MetabolomicsSearching for Drug Synergy Against Cancer Through Polyamine Metabolism Impairment: Insight Into the Metabolic Effect of Indomethacin on Lung Cancer Cells
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most lethal and prevalent type of lung cancer. In almost all types of cancer, the levels of polyamines (putrescine, spermidine, and spermine) are increased, playing a pivotal role in tumor proliferation. Indomethacin, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, ...

MetabolomicsDynamic change of IDO1 activity predicts survival in patients with unresectable stage III NSCLC and chemoradiotherapy

OBJECTIVES: High activity of Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase1 (IDO1) in lung cancer patients converts tryptophan (Trp), which is the essential amino acid for T cell metabolism, to kynurenine (Kyn) and consequently suppresses anti-tumor immune responses. We aimed to track the dynamics...

MetabolomicsBiological Effects of Amphiphilic Copolymer Nanoparticle-Encapsulated Multi-target Chemotherapeutic Drugs on MCF-7 Human Breast Cancer Cells
INTRODUCTION: Amphiphilic copolymer nanoparticle-encapsulated multi-target chemotherapeutic drugs have attracted considerable attention due to their favorable drug efficiency and potential application prospect. Studies have shown that an amphiphilic copolymer, methoxypoly(ethylene glycol)-poly(lacti...

MetabolomicsCommon Metabolic Pathways Implicated in Resistance to Chemotherapy Point to a Key Mitochondrial Role in Breast Cancer
Cancer cells are known to reprogram their metabolism to adapt to adverse conditions dictated by tumor growth and microenvironment. A subtype of cancer cells with stem-like properties, known as cancer stem cells (CSC), is thought to be responsible for tumor recurrence. In this study, we demonstrated ...

MetabolomicsExtracts from sweet sorghum (Sorghum bicolor), a feedstock for biorefining, suppressed proliferation and elevated apoptosis in human colon cancer stem cells via suppression of Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway
In colorectal cancer, p53 is commonly inactivated, associated with chemo-resistance, and marks the transition from non-invasive to invasive disease. Cancers, including colorectal cancer, are thought to be diseases of aberrant stem cell populations, as stem cells are able to self-renew, making them l...

MetabolomicsOVCAR-3 spheroid-derived cells display distinct metabolic profiles
Recently, multicellular spheroids were isolated from a well-established epithelial ovarian cancer cell line, OVCAR-3, and were propagated in vitro. These spheroid derived cells displayed numerous hallmarks of cancer stem cells, which are chemo and radioresistant cells thought to be a significant cau...

MetabolomicsInhibition of glycolysis and mitochondrial respiration promotes radiosensitisation of neuroblastoma and glioma cells

BACKGROUND: Neuroblastoma accounts for 7% of paediatric malignancies but is responsible for 15% of all childhood cancer deaths. Despite rigorous treatment involving chemotherapy, surgery, radiotherapy and immunotherapy, the 5-year overall survival rate of high-risk disease remai...
