Effects of hindlimb unloading on the mevalonate and mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 signaling pathways in a fast‐twitch muscle in rats

Physiological Reports
Fast‐twitch muscles are less susceptible to disuse atrophy, activate the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) signaling pathway, and increase protein synthesis under prolonged muscle disuse conditions.

Mevalonate Metabolism in Cancer Stemness and Trained Immunity

Frontiers in Oncology, 2018
Mevalonate metabolism provides cancer and immune cells with diverse products to ensure cell functionality. Similar metabolic reprogramming that raises mevalonate metabolism to higher levels appears to drive both, epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT ...

Cholesterol and Mevalonate: Two Metabolites Involved in Breast Cancer Progression and Drug Resistance through the ERRα Pathway

Cells, 2020
Breast cancer is the second greatest cause of cancer-related death in women. Resistance to endocrine treatments or chemotherapy is a limiting drawback.

Magnetothermal‐responsive drug release bone cement based on EGFR‐mutated lung cancer bone metastases

VIEW, EarlyView.
A novel magnetothermal‐responsive bone cement was developed by integrating PMMA/CPC/Osimertinib matrix with Fe3O4@SiO2@Zol nanomaterials. This dual‐drug system achieves controlled release, combining excellent mechanical properties with potent anti‐tumor activity and bone regulation for treating EGFR‐mutated LC‐BoM.

Silencing of juvenile hormone‐related genes through RNA interference leads to molt failure and high mortality in the spongy moth

Insect Science, EarlyView.
The feasibility of using RNA interference to control the globally important quarantine pest, the spongy moth. Targeting genes related to JHs play an important role in the growth and development of insects. First, the open reading frames (ORFs) of Ldjhamt and Ldjheh were identified and characterized, and the target genes were cloned and double‐stranded ...

The mevalonate precursor enzyme HMGCS1 is a novel marker and key mediator of cancer stem cell enrichment in luminal and basal models of breast cancer.

PLoS ONE, 2020
The definitive characterization of common cancer stem cell (CSCs) subpopulations in breast cancer subtypes with distinct genotypic and phenotypic features remains an ongoing challenge.

LsFAMeT and LsJHAMT coordinate JH biosynthesis to regulate fecundity in Laodelphax striatellus

Insect Science, EarlyView.
The small brown planthopper (SBPH), Laodelphax striatellus, can trigger large‐scale outbreaks when encountering suitable habitats during migration due to their strong reproductive ability. This study investigated the role of juvenile hormone (JH) in regulating SBPH reproduction.

Isoprenoids responsible for protein prenylation modulate the biological effects of statins on pancreatic cancer cells

Lipids in Health and Disease, 2017
Background Statin treatment of hypercholesterolemia is accompanied also with depletion of the mevalonate intermediates, including farnesyl pyrophosphate (FPP) and geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate (GGPP) necessary for proper function of small GTPases.

CD36‐mediated lipid rewiring in the metabolic adaptation of tumour ecosystems

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Nutrient deprivation drives a lipid‐centric shift in tumour metabolic symbiosis and signalling network. CD36 functions as a bidirectional bridge, transferring fatty acids from stromal donors (adipocytes, CAFs) to the ecosystem tumour‐ and microenvironment‐dependently.

Structural and mutational analysis of Methanosarcina mazei prenylated FMN synthase reveals the basis of its unique prenyl donor substrate specificity

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Some prenylated flavin mononucleotide (prFMN) synthases exceptionally prefer dimethylallyl phosphate (DMAP) over dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP), which is a common prenyl donor substrate for many prenyltransferases. Structural and mutagenic analyses of Methanosarcina mazei prFMN synthase, which prefers DMAP but can also accept DMAPP, elucidated its ...
