1H HR-MAS NMR Based Metabolic Profiling of Lung Cancer Cells with Induced and De-Induced Cisplatin Resistance to Reveal Metabolic Resistance Adaptations. [PDF]

open access: yesMolecules, 2021
Cisplatin (cisPt) is an important drug that is used against various cancers, including advanced lung cancer. However, drug resistance is still a major ongoing problem and its investigation is of paramount interest.

Metabolic checkpoint of ferroptosis resistance [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular & Cellular Oncology, 2021
The metabolic checkpoint of ferroptosis remains obscure. We find that glucose favors system xc- inhibitor-induced ferroptosis by activating pyruvate oxidation, thereby promoting fatty acid synthesis and subsequent lipid peroxidation. In contrast, the upregulation of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4 (PDK4) switches into a ferroptosis-resistant state in ...

Metabolic Resistance in Bed Bugs [PDF]

open access: yesInsects, 2011
Blood-feeding insects have evolved resistance to various insecticides (organochlorines, pyrethroids, carbamates, etc.) through gene mutations and increased metabolism. Bed bugs (Cimex lectularius) are hematophagous ectoparasites that are poised to become one of the major pests in households throughout the United States. Currently, C.

Metabolic Plasticity in Chemotherapy Resistance [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology, 2020
Resistance of cancer cells to chemotherapy is the first cause of cancer-associated death. Thus, new strategies to deal with the evasion of drug response and to improve clinical outcomes are needed. Genetic and epigenetic mechanisms associated with uncontrolled cell growth result in metabolism reprogramming.

Metabolic regulation of antibiotic resistance [PDF]

open access: yesFEMS Microbiology Reviews, 2011
It is generally assumed that antibiotics and resistance determinants are the task forces of a biological warfare in which each resistance determinant counteracts the activity of a specific antibiotic. According to this view, antibiotic resistance might be considered as a specific response to an injury, not necessarily linked to bacterial metabolism ...

Nutritional modulation of insulin resistance [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Insulin resistance has been proposed as the strongest single predictor for the development of Type 2 Diabetes (T2DM). Chronic oversupply of energy from food, together with inadequate physical activity, have been recognized as the most relevant factors ...

Prevalence of the metabolic syndrome in Chinese adolescents [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Since national figures on the occurrence of metabolic syndrome among Chinese adolescents are lacking, this study aims to estimate its prevalence and distribution among Chinese youngsters.

Cholesterol metabolism and resistance to tamoxifen

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Pharmacology, 2012
The oncoprotein MUC-1 was shown to upregulate the transcription of genes encoding cholesterol and lipid metabolic enzymes and correlated with a resistance to Tamoxifen (Tam) despite the presence of estrogen receptor α in breast cancer tumors. The importance of this observation is supported by molecular studies on Tam suggesting two additional ...

The role of the small intestine in the development of dietary fat-induced obesity and insulin resistance in C57BL/6J mice [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Background Obesity and insulin resistance are two major risk factors underlying the metabolic syndrome. The development of these metabolic disorders is frequently studied, but mainly in liver, skeletal muscle, and adipose tissue.

The Role of Tumour Metabolism in Cisplatin Resistance [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2021
Cisplatin is a chemotherapy drug commonly used in cancer treatment. Tumour cells are more sensitive to cisplatin than normal cells. Cisplatin exerts an antitumour effect by interfering with DNA replication and transcription processes. However, the drug-resistance properties of tumour cells often cause loss of cisplatin efficacy and failure of ...
