Underlying mechanisms of phosphodiesterase 10A and glutamate-ammonia ligase genes that regulate inosine monophosphate deposition and thereby affect muscle tenderness in Jingyuan chickens [PDF]

Animal Bioscience, 2022
Objective Inosine monophosphate (IMP) is a key factor that imparts of meat flavor. Differences in the IMP content in the muscles were evaluated to improve chicken meat quality.

A Novel Gain-of-Function GLUL Variant Is Associated With Developmental and Epileptic Encephalopathy With Enlarged Perivascular Spaces. [PDF]

Hum Mutat
Two clinical phenotypes are associated with GLUL mutations, from different inheritance mode. Recessive forms are associated with congenital glutamine deficiency, manifesting with severe brain malformation, multiorgan failure, and early death.

FISH mapping of three ammonia metabolism genes (Glul, Cps1, Glud1) in rat, and the chromosomal localization of GLUL in human and Cps1 in mouse [PDF]

Mammalian Genome, 1997
In recent years, the rat genes encoding glutamate dehydrogenase (GLUD; Das et al. 1993), glutamine synthetase (glutamateammonia ligase, GLUL; van de Zande et al. 1990) and carbamoylphosphate synthetase 1 (CPS; Van den Hoff et al. 1995) have been isolated.

Homozygous GLUL deletion is embryonically viable and leads to glutamine synthetase deficiency [PDF]

Clinical Genetics, 2020
AbstractGlutamine synthetase (GS) is the enzyme responsible for the biosynthesis of glutamine, providing the only source of endogenous glutamine necessary for several critical metabolic and developmental pathways. GS deficiency, caused by pathogenic variants in the glutamate‐ammonia ligase (GLUL) gene, is a rare autosomal recessive inborn error of ...

GLUL gene knockdown and restricted glucose level show synergistic inhibitory effect on the luminal subtype breast cancer MCF7 cells’ proliferation and metastasis

EXCLI Journal : Experimental and Clinical Sciences, 2023
The glutamine synthetase path is one of the most important metabolic pathways in luminal breast cancer cells, which plays a critical role in supplying glutamine as an intermediate in the biosynthesis of amino acids and nucleotides.

Multiomics identifies the link between intratumor steatosis and the exhausted tumor immune microenvironment in hepatocellular carcinoma

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Steatotic HCC can be diagnosed by MRI and forms a pro‐tumor immune microenvironment with high expression of PD‐L1, M2 polarization of macrophages and activation of CAFs, which may be a good target for combined immunotherapy. Abstract Background and Aims Immunotherapy has become the standard‐of‐care treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but its ...

ALK1 controls hepatic vessel formation, angiodiversity, and angiocrine functions in hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia of the liver

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Hepatic endothelial Alk1 signaling protects from development of vascular malformations while maintaining organ‐specific endothelial differentiation and angiocrine portmanteau of the names Wingless and Int‐1 signaling. Abstract Background and Aims In hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT), severe liver vascular malformations are associated with ...

T Helper Cell Activation and Expansion Is Sensitive to Glutaminase Inhibition under Both Hypoxic and Normoxic Conditions. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Immune responses often take place where nutrients and O2 availability are limited. This has an impact on T cell metabolism and influences activation and effector functions.

Increased NMDARs in neurons and glutamine synthetase in astrocytes underlying autistic-like behaviors of Gabrb1−/− mice

iScience, 2023
Summary: Mutations of the GABA-A receptor subunit β1 (GABRB1) gene are found in autism patients. However, it remains unclear how mutations in Gabrb1 may lead to autism. We generated Gabrb1−/− mouse model, which showed autistic-like behaviors.

Glutamine Anabolism Plays a Critical Role in Pancreatic Cancer by Coupling Carbon and Nitrogen Metabolism

Cell Reports, 2019
Summary: Glutamine is thought to play an important role in cancer cells by being deaminated via glutaminolysis to α-ketoglutarate (aKG) to fuel the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. Supporting this notion, aKG supplementation can restore growth/survival of
