Lipid Metabolism, Lipogenesis, and Resistance to Third Generation EGFR‐TKIs
Cancer metabolism has emerged as a critical area of study in cancer research, offering insights into the complex mechanisms underlying tumor growth and development. Lipid metabolic reprogramming, especially the dynamic balance between fatty acid synthesis and fatty acid oxidation, plays significant roles in tumor progression. ABSTRACT Background Cancer

The sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs) are central regulators of lipid homeostasis in mammalian cells. Their activity is controlled by a sterol-regulated two-step proteolytic process that releases the nuclear targeted amino-terminal ...

Stimulation of hepatic lipogenesis and acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase by vasopressin [PDF]
The effect of vasopressin on the short-term regulation of fatty acid synthesis was studied in isolated hepatocytes from rats fed ad libitum. Vasopressin stimulates fatty acid synthesis by 30-110%. This increase is comparable with that obtained with insulin. Angiotensin also stimulates fatty acid synthesis, whereas phenylephrine does not.

ABSTRACT Owing to their robust antioxidant defense mechanisms, cancer stem‐like cells (CSCs) maintain a low level of oxidative stress, which is crucial for preserving stemness and pluripotency. Therefore, agents that either directly generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) or inhibit the antioxidant defense systems can selectively induce oxidative cell ...

Effects of Kisspeptin-10 on Lipid Metabolism in Cultured Chicken Hepatocytes [PDF]
Our previous studies showed that kisspeptin-10 (Kp-10) injected in vivo can markedly increase lipid anabolism in liver of quails. In order to investigate the direct effect of Kp-10 on lipid metabolism of hepatocytes in birds, cells were separated from ...

“Hard Core” Acetyl Coenzyme‐A Carboxylase
Diseases involving unregulated cell reproduction, (i.e. cancer) can be inhibited through acetyl coenzyme‐A carboxylase (ACC) manipulation, preventing the lipid production that is imperative for cell survival. ACC catalyzes the first step in the fatty acid biosynthesis. ACC contains two dimers, biotin carboxylase (BC) and carboxyltransferase (CT), and a

Insulin and the regulation of adipose-tissue acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase [PDF]
Rat epididymal fat-pads were incubated for 30min with glucose (2mg/ml) in the presence or absence of insulin. A twofold or greater increase in acetyl-CoA carboxylase activity was observed in extracts from insulin-treated tissue provided that assays were performed rapidly after extraction.

From HBV to MASLD Cirrhosis: Mechanistic Insights and Therapeutic Strategies
This review examines the epidemiological shift from hepatitis B virus (HBV) to metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) as the leading cause of cirrhosis globally. It highlights the distinct pathogenic mechanisms between HBV and MASLD cirrhosis and discusses evolving diagnostic tools and therapeutic strategies tailored to the ...

A single nucleotide polymorphism within the acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase beta gene is associated with proteinuria in patients with type 2 diabetes. [PDF]
It has been suggested that genetic susceptibility plays an important role in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy. A large-scale genotyping analysis of gene-based single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes ...

Acetyl‐coenzyme A carboxylases: Versatile targets for drug discovery [PDF]
AbstractAcetyl‐coenzyme A carboxylases (ACCs) have crucial roles in fatty acid metabolism in humans and most other living organisms. They are attractive targets for drug discovery against a variety of human diseases, including diabetes, obesity, cancer, and microbial infections.
