Pancreatic cancer is an aggressive cancer with a poor prognosis. Metabolic abnormalities are one of the hallmarks of pancreatic cancer, and pancreatic cancer cells can adapt to biosynthesis, energy intake and redox needs through metabolic reprogramming to tolerate nutrient deficiency and hypoxic ...
Alkaliptosis, a pH-dependent form of regulated cell death characterized by impaired lysosomal function and lethal alkalinization, holds promise as a target for cancer therapy. Here, we utilize mass spectrometry-based drug target, transcriptomic screens, and lipid metabolomics to explore the metab...

Here, we utilize mass spectrometry-based drug target, transcriptomic screens and lipid metabolomics to explore the metabo...
The involvement of membrane-bound solute carriers (SLCs) in neoplastic transdifferentiation processes is poorly defined. Here, we examined changes in the SLC landscape during epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of pancreatic cancer cells. We show that two SLCs from the organic anion...
Neurotransmitter serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine [5-HT]) has emerged to play parallel roles in both neurobiology and oncology. Apart from receptor-mediated signaling transduction pattern, serotonin can be covalently integrated into histone (the post-translational modification known as histone sero...
Nutrient-deprived conditions in the tumor microenvironment (TME) restrain cancer cell viability due to increased free radicals and reduced energy production. In pancreatic cancer cells, a cytosolic metabolic enzyme, wild-type isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (wtIDH1), enables the adaptation to these co...
