MetabolomicsSpatially-guided metabolomics profiling of heterogeneous human tumor tissues

Bulk high-resolution mass spectrometry can provide sensitive and global snapshots of metabolites involved in cancer metabolism. However, intra-tumor heterogeneity (IntraTH) convolutes the cellular origins and tumor pathologies associated with the detected metabolites, thus making the elucidation ...

MetabolomicsHost autophagy mediates organ wasting and nutrient mobilization for tumor growth
During tumor growth-when nutrient and anabolic demands are high-autophagy supports tumor metabolism and growth through lysosomal organelle turnover and nutrient recycling. Ras-driven tumors additionally invoke non-autonomous autophagy in the microenvironment to support tumor growth, in part through ...

MetabolomicsUntargeted Metabolomics Reveals Molecular Effects of Ketogenic Diet on Healthy and Tumor Xenograft Mouse Models
The application of ketogenic diet (KD) (high fat/low carbohydrate/adequate protein) as an auxiliary cancer therapy is a field of growing attention. KD provides sufficient energy supply for healthy cells, while possibly impairing energy production in highly glycolytic tumor cells. Moreover, KD regula...

MetabolomicsSingle-cell metabolic fingerprints discover a cluster of circulating tumor cells with distinct metastatic potential

Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are recognized as direct seeds of metastasis. However, CTC count may not be the 'best' indicator of metastatic risk because their heterogeneity is generally neglected. In this study, we develop a molecular typing system to predict colorectal cancer metastasis potent...

MetabolomicsMetabolic differences between primary and brain metastatic breast tumors revealed by in vivo [U-¹³C]-glucose infusion in mice

Metastatic breast tumors must adapt to the metabolic constraints of their target tissues. To understand how tumor metabolism varies across sites, we compared glucose utilization in primary mammary fat pad (MFP) tumors and brain metastases derived from the breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231. Tumor...

MetabolomicsEngineered Oncolytic VSV Enhances Tumor Killing in HBV-Positive HCC
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide, with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection being a major contributor to its development. Despite this, effective treatment for HBV-associated HCC remains a significant challenge. In this study, we combined the s...

MetabolomicsArginine starvation kills tumor cells through aspartate exhaustion and mitochondrial dysfunction
Defective arginine synthesis, due to the silencing of argininosuccinate synthase 1 (ASS1), is a common metabolic vulnerability in cancer, known as arginine auxotrophy. Understanding how arginine depletion kills arginine-auxotrophic cancer cells will facilitate the development of anti-cancer therapeu...

MetabolomicsDynamic single-cell metabolomics reveals cell-cell interaction between tumor cells and macrophages

Single-cell metabolomics reveals cell heterogeneity and elucidates intracellular molecular mechanisms. However, general concentration measurement of metabolites can only provide a static delineation of metabolomics, lacking the metabolic activity information of biological pathways. Herein, we dev...

MetabolomicsGDF15 hijacks B cells to fuel the lifeblood of tumor salvage pyrimidine synthesis
B cell-tumor crosstalk has emerged as a critical determinant of tumor progression; however, its role in metabolic reprogramming and therapeutic resistance remains poorly understood. Here, we uncover a metabolic feedback loop that drives resistance to dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) inhibitors. ...

MetabolomicsMetabolic Reprogramming in Tumor-Associated Macrophages during Murine Hepatocellular Carcinoma Progression

To investigate the impact of Wdr4 on the metabolic reprogramming of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), we established an orthotopic HCC model in Wdr4-f/f and Wdr4 conditional knockout (Wdr4-cKO) mice. TAMs were subsequently isolated via flow cytometry-based cel...
