Metabolic Analysis of DFO-Resistant Huh7 Cells and Identification of Targets for Combination Therapy
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most refractory cancers with a high rate of recurrence. Iron is an essential trace element, and iron chelation has garnered attention as a novel therapeutic strategy for cancer.

The Distinctive Regulation of Cyanobacterial Glutamine Synthetase [PDF]
Glutamine synthetase (GS) features prominently in bacterial nitrogen assimilation as it catalyzes the entry of bioavailable nitrogen in form of ammonium into cellular metabolism. The classic example, the comprehensively characterized GS of enterobacteria,

Alloferon Affects the Chemosensitivity of Pancreatic Cancer by Regulating the Expression of SLC6A14
Pancreatic cancer (PCa), one of the most malignant solid tumors, has a high mortality rate. Although there have been many trials of chemotherapeutic drugs such as gemcitabine, the mortality rates remain significantly higher than for other types of cancer.

Formation of Glutamine and Activities of Glutamine Synthetase in Goats
When goats were administered orally with urea in a dose of 0.3 g per kg of body weight, the blood concentration of glutamine-N in the jugular vein increased to about 6μg per ml of plasma, reflecting the removal of ammonia by forming glutamine in the animal body. The blood glutamine seemed to undergo a more rapid turnover than the blood urea.

Oligodendroglioma cells lack glutamine synthetase and are auxotrophic for glutamine, but do not depend on glutamine anaplerosis for growth [PDF]
In cells derived from several types of cancer, a transcriptional program drives high consumption of glutamine (Gln), which is used for anaplerosis, leading to a metabolic addiction for the amino acid. Low or absent expression of Glutamine Synthetase (GS),

Systems biology analysis of drivers underlying hallmarks of cancer cell metabolism. [PDF]
Malignant transformation is often accompanied by significant metabolic changes. To identify drivers underlying these changes, we calculated metabolic flux states for the NCI60 cell line collection and correlated the variance between metabolic states of ...

Glutamine supplementation of parenteral nutrition does not improve intestinal permeability, nitrogen balance, or outcome in newborns and infants undergoing digestive-tract surgery: results from a double-blind, randomized, controlled trial [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: To assess the effect of isocaloric isonitrogenous parenteral glutamine supplementation on intestinal permeability and nitrogen loss in newborns and infants after major digestive-tract surgery.
