Background: Gastric cancer (GC) is an aggressive malignancy characterized by metabolic reprogramming, including dysregulated cholesterol biosynthesis. Medicarpin (Med), a natural isoflavan isolated from Radix Hedysari, has shown pharmacological potential; however, its anti-GC activity and metabolic ...

Isoprenoids are a class of ubiquitous organic molecules synthesized from the five-carbon starter unit isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP). Comprising more than 30,000 known natural products, isoprenoids serve various important biological functions in many organisms. In bacteria, undecaprenyl pyrophospha...

p53 is a frequent target for mutation in human tumors and previous studies have revealed that these missense mutant proteins can actively contribute to tumorigenesis. To elucidate how mutant p53 might contribute to mammary carcinogenesis we employed a three-dimensional (3D) culture model. In 3D cul...

Statins are among the most frequently prescribed drugs because of their efficacy and low toxicity in treating hypercholesterolemia. Recently, statins have been reported to inhibit the proliferative activity of cancer cells, especially those with *TP53* mutations. Since *TP53* mutations occur in ...

Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths) make the six-carbon compounds homoisopentenyl pyrophosphate (HIPP) and homodimethylallyl pyrophosphate (HDMAPP) that are incorporated into sixteen, seventeen and eighteen carbon farnesyl pyrophosphate (FPP) analogues. In this work we heterologously expressed the l...

Rationale: Immortalized cells may exhibit important differences relative to their primary cell counterparts. Microarrays were used compare primary human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and the immortalized HUVEC cell line EA.hy926, in their response to inhibition of the mevalonate pathway ...

Radioresistance is a major hurdle in the treatment of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Here we report a novel role for statin-based treatment of HNSCCs as an actionable and safe adjuvant to radiotherapy. Proteomic profiling and comparison of radiosensitive and radioresistant HNSCCs rev...

Metastasis is an important factor affecting the prognosis and survival of bladder cancer (BLCA) patients. Our previous study found that the mevalonate pathway is associated with the migratory ability of bladder cancer cells, but the exact mechanism is unclear. Here, we found that BLCA patients with ...

This experiment studied the effect of FPP accumulation on E. coli. E. coli cells transformed with pMBIS (the S. cerevisiae mevalonate pathway enzymes converting mevalonate to FPP) and fed mevalonate produce large amounts of FPP, which causes toxicity when it accumulates. When coupled with an activ...

Using cells as microbial factories enables highly specific production of chemicals with many advantages over chemical syntheses. A number of exciting new applications of this approach are in the area of precision metabolic engineering, which focuses on improving the specificity of target production....
