Metabolic vulnerability of cisplatin‐resistant cancers [PDF]

open access: yesThe EMBO Journal, 2018
Cisplatin is the most widely used chemotherapeutic agent, and resistance of neoplastic cells against this cytoxicant poses a major problem in clinical oncology. Here, we explored potential metabolic vulnerabilities of cisplatin-resistant non-small human cell lung cancer and ovarian cancer cell lines.

Gender, socio-economic status and metabolic syndrome in middle-aged and old adults. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
BACKGROUND: Studies that addressed social and economic determinants of cardiovascular diseases, consistently showed an increase prevalence of the individual features of metabolic syndrome in the lower socio-economic strata.

An analogue of piperonyl butoxide facilitates the characterisation of metabolic resistance

open access: yes, 2009
BACKGROUND: Previous work has demonstrated that piperonyl butoxide (PBO) not only inhibits microsomal oxidases but also resistance-associated esterases. The ability to inhibit both major metabolic resistance enzymes makes it an ideal synergist to enhance

Lipid Metabolism and Resistance to Anticancer Treatment [PDF]

open access: yesBiology, 2020
Metabolic reprogramming is crucial to respond to cancer cell requirements during tumor development. In the last decade, metabolic alterations have been shown to modulate cancer cells’ sensitivity to chemotherapeutic agents including conventional and targeted therapies.

Low Cardiorespiratory Fitness is an Independent Predictor of Metabolic Syndrome in Young Korean Adults [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Objective: To investigate the relationship between cardio/respiratory fitness (CRF) and metabolic syndrome (MS) in young Korean men. Design: In a cross-sectional study, we examined 909 young Korean men (mean±SD age, 24.0±2 years) who were ...

The interaction between metabolic disease and ageing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Two of the greatest crises that civilisation faces in the 21st century are the predicted rapid increases in the ageing population and levels of metabolic disorders such as obesity and type 2 diabetes.

Metabolic Mechanisms of Drug Resistance in Leukemia [PDF]

open access: yesCell Metabolism, 2015
Tumor cells frequently undergo metabolic reprogramming, but it is unknown how these metabolic changes relate to drug resistance. A recent article now demonstrates that PI3K/AKT signaling causes a metabolic switch from glutaminolysis to aerobic glycolysis in Notch-dependent T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL).

Genetic variants and the metabolic syndrome: a systematic review [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Several candidate gene studies on the metabolic syndrome (MetS) have been conducted. However, for most single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) no systematic review on their association with MetS exists.

Metabolic hallmarks of trastuzumab resistance

open access: yesExpert Opinion on Therapeutic Targets
The HER2-targeted monoclonal antibody trastuzumab has significantly improved the survival of patients with HER2-positive breast cancer (HER2+ BC) in both early and metastatic disease. Therapeutic resistance remains an inevitable challenge in the advanced setting, ultimately limiting the long-term efficacy of trastuzumab.

Metabolic regulation of systemic acquired resistance

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Plant Biology, 2021
Plants achieve an optimal balance between growth and defense by a fine-tuned biosynthesis and metabolic inactivation of immune-stimulating small molecules. Recent research illustrates that three common hubs are involved in the cooperative regulation of systemic acquired resistance (SAR) by the defense hormones N-hydroxypipecolic acid (NHP) and ...
