STAT3 and mutp53 Engage a Positive Feedback Loop Involving HSP90 and the Mevalonate Pathway

Frontiers in Oncology, 2020
Oncosuppressor TP53 and oncogene STAT3 have been shown to engage an interplay in which they negatively influence each other. Conversely, mutant (mut) p53 may sustain STAT3 phosphorylation by displacing SH2 phosphatase while whether STAT3 could influence ...

Mechanisms and Predisposing Conditions for Statin‐Induced New‐Onset Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Paradox Relative to Their Pleiotropic Metabolic Effects

Endocrinology, Diabetes &Metabolism, Volume 9, Issue 5, September 2026.
The primary function of statins is to inhibit cholesterol synthesis, which contributes to their antidiabetic effects. However, the majority of the diabetic effects of statins are due to inhibition of isoprenoid synthesis. Atorvastatin, simvastatin and rosuvastatin possess the most pronounced diabetogenic properties. In contrast, lovastatin, fluvastatin,

Changes in chick liver and brain mevalonate kinase, mevalonate-5-phosphate kinase and mevalonate-5-pyrophosphate decarboxylase during development

International Journal of Biochemistry, 1984
Phosphorylation and decarboxylation of mevalonate in chick liver and brain was investigated during early post hatching stages of development. In chick liver, both mevalonate kinase and mevalonate-5-phosphate kinase increased their activity from day 5 of age while pyrophosphate decarboxylase activity remained low during the first days after hatching ...

Weekly oral alendronate in mevalonate kinase deficiency [PDF]

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2013
Mevalonate kinase deficiency (MKD) is caused by mutations in the MVK gene, encoding the second enzyme of mevalonate pathway, which results in subsequent shortage of downstream compounds, and starts in childhood with febrile attacks, skin, joint, and gastrointestinal symptoms, sometimes induced by vaccinations.For a history of early-onset corticosteroid-

Oxysterols in Cancer: From Biosynthesis and Pathophysiology to Targeted Therapeutics

MedComm – Oncology, Volume 5, Issue 3, September 2026.
Mechanisms by which oxysterol targeting may enhance immunotherapy efficacy. This figure illustrates potential metabolic interventions that may improve antitumor immunity by modulating oxysterol related pathways. CH25H modulation may reduce 25‐HC accumulation, promote the conversion of cold tumors into hot tumors, and increase T cell infiltration and PD‐

Overcoming Radiation Resistance: Ferroptosis Induction to Sensitize Solid Tumors to Radiation Therapy

Cancer Medicine, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Radiation therapy (RT) is a mainstay of treatment for a myriad of cancers, often utilized for tumors that are unable to be resected, as well as an adjunct to surgery and chemotherapy. Unfortunately, many cancers are resistant to RT‐induced damage and subsequent cell death.

Identification of two novel MVD mutations and one novel FDPS mutation in Chinese patients with porokeratosis

Frontiers in Medicine
BackgroundPorokeratosis (PK) is an autosomal dominant inherited disorder characterized by abnormal epidermal keratinization, primarily resulting from mutations in four genes associated with the mevalonate pathway: mevalonate decarboxylase (MVD ...

Discontinuing Long‐Term Denosumab in Treating Fragile Bone: Why, for Whom, and How?

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, Volume 120, Issue 2, Page 334-344, August 2026.
Discontinuation of denosumab (Dmab) may be necessary due to adverse events or an unfavorable long‐term risk–benefit profile. However, accumulating evidence demonstrates pronounced rebound phenomena after withdrawal, most notably a marked increase in multiple vertebral fractures, and, in some reports, elevated mortality.

Uncovering Coenzyme Q10‐Related Genetic Determinants of Statin‐Associated Muscle Symptoms: Evidence from the UK Biobank and the All of Us Research Program

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, Volume 120, Issue 2, Page 475-483, August 2026.
Statin‐associated muscle symptoms (SAMS) are frequent adverse effects of statin therapy and have been hypothesized to result from impaired coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) biosynthesis. Although genetic determinants of CoQ10 levels have been reported, genome‐wide association studies (GWASs) conducted specifically in statin users are lacking. Moreover, direct CoQ10

Myocardial Lipid Metabolism Imbalance: The Pathological Core and Novel Diagnostic‐Therapeutic Directions of Cardiovascular Diseases

Journal of Biochemical and Molecular Toxicology, Volume 40, Issue 8, August 2026.
In cardiac cells, Plin5/AMPK regulate lipid homeostasis; excess CD36‐mediated uptake drives lipotoxicity, mitochondrial dysfunction, and CVDs (e.g., heart failure). Biomarkers (ApoB/ApoA‐1) and therapies (SGLT2 inhibitors) target this cascade. ABSTRACT Cardiac lipid metabolism is fundamental to myocardial energy homeostasis, with fatty acid oxidation ...
