LncRNA OIP5-AS1 Knockdown Targets miR-183-5p/GLUL Axis and Inhibits Cell Proliferation, Migration and Metastasis in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma

Frontiers in Oncology, 2022
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is often associated with the infection of Epstein-Barr virus in nasopharynx and is mainly happened in South China and Southeast Asia. Recently, noncoding RNAs have been reported to regulate NPC carcinogenesis.

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.

Genome-Wide Characterization of Glutamine Synthetase Family Genes in Cucurbitaceae and Their Potential Roles in Cold Response and Rootstock-Scion Signaling Communication

Agriculture, 2021
Glutamine synthetase (GS; EC 6.3.1.2, L-glutamate: ammonia ligase ADP-forming) is the key enzyme responsible for the primary assimilation and reassimilation of nitrogen (N) in higher plants.

Low-frequency variants in genes involved in glutamic acid metabolism and γ-glutamyl cycle and risk of coronary artery disease in type 2 diabetes

Cardiovascular Diabetology
Background A common genetic variant at the glutamate-ammonia ligase (GLUL) locus has been previously associated with an increased risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) as well as alterations of glutamic acid metabolism and the γ-glutamyl cycle in ...

Heterotrophic ammonia oxidation by <i>Alcaligenes</i> balances ROS generation and terminal electron transport. [PDF]

mLife
Abstract Heterotrophic nitrifiers are bacteria that aerobically oxidize ammonia in the presence of organic carbon sources, which differs from autotrophic nitrifiers that extract energy from ammonia oxidation for cell metabolism and growth. The physiological significance of heterotrophic ammonia oxidation remains unclear, even though this process has ...

Disruption of Mitochondrial Dynamics and Integrity Drives Divergent Metabolic Flexibility and Resilience in Podocytes. [PDF]

FASEB J
We investigated two models of mitochondrial dysfunction in podocytes, using two cell culture models: podocytes isolated from mice with Oma1 deletion (Oma1del) and mouse podocytes modified with an inducible knockdown of PHB2 (Phb2kd). OMA1 deficiency induced a glycolytic shift, enhanced glutamine anaplerosis, and sustained energy homeostasis after ...
