MetabolomicsDistinct metabolic responses of an ovarian cancer stem cell line

Background

Cancer metabolism is emerging as an important focus area in cancer research. However, the in vitro cell culture conditions under which much cellular metabolism research is performed differ drastically from in vivo tumor conditions, which are characterized by variations in the leve...

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...

MetabolomicsMitochondrial Transplantation of Brown Adipocytes Interferes with the Metabolism of Tumor Stem Cells and Inhibits the Recurrence of Brain Glioma after Operation

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is highly aggressive, with treatment resistance and recurrence driven by metabolically plastic glioma stem cells (GSCs). Inspired by brown adipose tissue (BAT) thermogenesis, researchers transplanted BAT-derived mitochondria (BA-Mito) into GSCs, reducing stemness mar...

MetabolomicsFatty acid oxidation protects cancer cells from apoptosis through increasing mitochondrial membrane lipids

Overcoming resistance to chemotherapies remains a major unmet need for cancers such as triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). Therefore, mechanistic studies to provide insight for drug development are urgently needed to overcome TNBC therapy resistance. Recently, an important role of fatty acid β-...

MetabolomicsOld mitochondria regulate niche renewal via stem cell metabolism
Cellular metabolism is emerging as a potent regulator of cell fate, raising the possibility that the recently discovered metabolic heterogeneity between newly synthesized and chronologically old organelles may impact stem cell fate in mammalian tissues. The small intestine is maintained by actively ...

MetabolomicsCombined Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Metformin Therapy Modulates Key Macromolecular Pathways in Pulmonary Fibrosis: Evidence from Untargeted Metabolomics

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive and fatal interstitial lung disease. Current treatment options remain limited, driving interest in novel therapeutic approaches. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) possess immunomodulatory and regenerative properties, while metformin, traditionally ...

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...

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 ...

MetabolomicsMetabolomics Identifies Metabolic Markers of Maturation in Human Pluripotent Stem Cell-Derived Cardiomyocytes
Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death worldwide. Human pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hPSC-CMs) hold immense clinical potential and recent studies have enabled generation of virtually pure hPSC-CMs with high efficiency in chemically defined and xeno-free conditions. Despi...

MetabolomicsA mitochondrial NADPH-cholesterol axis regulates extracellular vesicle biogenesis to support hematopoietic stem cell fate

Mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation (FAO) is essential for hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) self-renewal; however, the mechanism by which mitochondrial metabolism controls HSC fate remains unknown. Here, we show that within the hematopoietic lineage, HSCs have the largest mitochondrial NADPH pools, w...
