Metformin Targets Foxo1 to Control Glucose Homeostasis

Biomolecules, 2021
Metformin is the first-line pharmacotherapy for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). Metformin exerts its glucose-lowering effect primarily through decreasing hepatic glucose production (HGP).

Chemical Bond‐Orchestrated Energy Depletion to Augment Lung Cancer Chemo‐Immunotherapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study grafted dichloroacetic acid (DCA) into perylenediimide (PDI) skeleton via ionic or covalent bond to create novel metabolic agent PDIC‐AC and PDIC‐NAC, explicitly elaborated the underlying energy metabolism and therapeutic mechanism, and developed a promising strategy for energy metabolism‐targeting chemo‐immunotherapy by chemical bond ...

MAPA: A Semantic Network Framework for Functional Module Discovery and Interpretation in Multi‐Omics Data

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
MAPA transforms complex multi‐omics data into biologically coherent functional modules by integrating pathway information with molecular interaction networks. Retrieval‐augmented large language models then generate structured, literature‐informed interpretations.

Photoactivated Platinum Complexes: Targeting Membrane Proteins and Organelles for Precision Cancer Therapy

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
This review highlights an emerging anticancer approach integrating platinum agents into photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photoactivated chemotherapy (PACT) systems, further augmented by cancer cell membrane‐ and organelle‐targeting. By directing photoactivated platinum complexes from nontargeted distribution to cancer cells or defined subcellular sites ...

Dual Compartmentalization of GSTA4 Suppresses Ferroptosis to Drive Antiandrogen Resistance in Prostate Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The schematic diagram depicts a compartmentalized anti‐ferroptotic defense mechanism mediated by GSTA4. GSTA4 is upregulated and localizes to the cytoplasm in ENZR cells, where it detoxifies 4‐HNE via a non‐canonical GSH‐dependent pathway. Under oxidative stress, GSTA4 translocates to mitochondria, interacts with PGAM5, and blocks Drp1 Ser637 ...

Valproic acid sensitizes metformin-resistant human renal cell carcinoma cells by upregulating H3 acetylation and EMT reversal

BMC Cancer, 2018
Background Metformin (Met) is a widely available diabetic drug and shows suppressed effects on renal cell carcinoma (RCC) metabolism and proliferation. Laboratory studies in RCC suggested that metformin has remarkable antitumor activities and seems to be

Molecular Landscapes of Tumor Dormancy in Gynecologic Malignancies: From Survival Mechanisms to Precision Interception

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This Review outlines the biological framework of entry, maintenance, and awakening in dormant minimal residual disease across gynecologic cancers. By mapping critical biological dependencies—from metabolic plasticity to microenvironment interactions—it evaluates novel interception concepts and presents a translational framework combining single‐cell ...
