Cancer cells can always be unexpected rescued from desperate environment by mounting adaptive responses to resolve the arising cellular stress. The dynamic stress granules (SGs) assembly and metabolic reprogramming play crucial roles in maintaining cellular growth and homeostasis. However, the me...
Cell size and the cell cycle are intrinsically coupled and abnormal increases in cell size are associated with senescence and permanent cell cycle arrest. The mechanism by which overgrowth primes cells to withdraw from the cell cycle remains unknown. We investigate this here using CDK4/6 inhibito...
Kupffer cells from both Sed and PEx mice were harvested for Metabolomics. 3 weeks after tumor injection, both mice bearing MC38 tumors were sacrificed. The livers were harvested and processed into single-cell suspensions, and KCs were isolated.
Activating PIK3CA mutations, present in up to 40% of hormone receptor-positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (Her2-) breast cancer (BC) patients, can be effectively targeted with the alpha isoform-specific PI3K inhibitor Alpelisib. This treatment significantly improves ...
Energy stress depletes ATP and induces cell death. Here we identify an unexpected inhibitory role of energy stress on ferroptosis, a form of regulated cell death induced by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation. We found that ferroptotic cell death and lipid peroxidation can be inhibited by treatment...
Background: Breast cancer progression and treatment are increasingly linked to systemic metabolic and microbial alterations. Previous studies have identified distinct gut microbiome profiles and serum metabolite shifts in breast cancer patients compared to healthy individuals, yet longitudi...
Ovarian cancer (OC) causes high mortality in women because of ineffective biomarkers for early diagnosis. Here, we perform metabolomics analysis on an initial training set of uterine fluid from 96 gynecological patients. A seven-metabolite-marker panel consisting of vanillylmandelic acid, norepin...
