The G-Protein Coupled Formyl Peptide Receptors and Their Role in the Progression of Digestive Tract Cancer

open access: yesTechnology in Cancer Research & Treatment, 2020
Chronic inflammation is a causative factor of many cancers, although it originally acts as a protective host response to the loss of tissue homeostasis. Many inflammatory conditions predispose susceptible cells, most of which are of epithelial origin, to

Necroptosis of Glycolytic Dendritic Cells Enhances Activation of Gamma Delta T Cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Gamma delta (gd) T lymphocytes are a poorly understood class of immune cells that accumulate at sites of inflammation due to infection or autoimmunity. Part of the mystery of this T cell subset derives from lack of knowledge of ligands that bind to the T

Metabolic origins of spatial organization in the tumor microenvironment. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The genetic and phenotypic diversity of cells within tumors is a major obstacle for cancer treatment. Because of the stochastic nature of genetic alterations, this intratumoral heterogeneity is often viewed as chaotic.

A Regulator of Metabolic Reprogramming: MicroRNA Let-7 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Let-7, a gene firstly known to control the timing of Caenorhabditis elegans larval development does not code for a protein but instead produces small non-coding RNAs, microRNAs. Higher animals have multiple isoforms of mature let-7 microRNAs.

C13orf31 (FAMIN) is a central regulator of immunometabolic function. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Single-nucleotide variations in C13orf31 (LACC1) that encode p.C284R and p.I254V in a protein of unknown function (called 'FAMIN' here) are associated with increased risk for systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis, leprosy and Crohn's disease.

Metabolic communication in tumors: a new layer of immunoregulation for immune evasion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The success of cancer immunotherapy reveals the power of host immunity on killing cancer cells and the feasibility to unleash restraints of anti-tumor immunity.

Engineering Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-Cells for Racing in Solid Tumors: Don't Forget the Fuel. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
T-cells play a critical role in tumor immunity. Indeed, the presence of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes is a predictor of favorable patient prognosis for many indications and is a requirement for responsiveness to immune checkpoint blockade therapy ...

Phenformin, but not metformin, delays development of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma via cell-autonomous AMPK activation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Summary: AMPK acts downstream of the tumor suppressor LKB1, yet its role in cancer has been controversial. AMPK is activated by biguanides, such as metformin and phenformin, and metformin use in diabetics has been associated with reduced cancer risk ...

Metabolic regulation of the immune system in health and diseases: mechanisms and interventions

open access: yesSignal Transduction and Targeted Therapy
Metabolism, including glycolysis, oxidative phosphorylation, fatty acid oxidation, and other metabolic pathways, impacts the phenotypes and functions of immune cells.

Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate induces peripheral neuropathy and alters inflammation and mitochondrial biogenesis in the brains of mice. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Mounting evidence suggests that antiretroviral therapy (ART) drugs may contribute to the prevalence of HIV-associated neurological dysfunction. The HIV envelope glycoprotein (gp120) is neurotoxic and has been linked to alterations in mitochondrial ...
