Breast cancer metastasis occurs via blood and lymphatic vessels. Breast cancer cells 'educate' lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) to support tumor vascularization and growth. However, despite known metabolic alterations in breast cancer, it remains unclear how lymphatic endothelial cell metabolis...

Cell culture is generally considered to be hyperoxic. However, the importance of cellular oxygen consumption is often underappreciated, with rates of oxygen consumption often sufficient to cause hypoxia at cell monolayers. We initially focused on cultured adipocytes as a terminally differentiated...

INTRODUCTION: A decline in mitochondrial function represents a key factor of a large number of inborn errors of metabolism, which lead to an extremely heterogeneous group of disorders.

OBJECTIVES: To gain insight into the biochemical consequences of mitocho...

Three-dimensional (3D) cell culture technologies, which more closely mimic the complex microenvironment of tissue, are being increasingly evaluated as a tool for the preclinical screening of clinically promising new molecules, and studying of tissue metabolism. Studies of metabolites released int...

This study employed untargeted metabolomics detection combined with bioinformatics analysis to investigate the metabolites from the co-culture of Acinetobacter lwoffiiand cervical precancerous cells ECT1/E6E7. A. lwoffiiwas co-cultured with ECT1/E6E7 cells at an MOI of 100. The culture supernatan...

In this study, five human cell lines (A2780, Chang liver, HEK293T, HeLa, and HepG2) were used as models and exposed to mixtures of neonicotinoids (NEOs) and their metabolites. The mixture concentrations were prepared based on human biomonitoring data to reflect the actual detected levels of NEOs ...
