Phosphoglycerate Dehydrogenase: Potential Therapeutic Target and Putative Metabolic Oncogene [PDF]
Exemplified by cancer cells' preference for glycolysis, for example, the Warburg effect, altered metabolism in tumorigenesis has emerged as an important aspect of cancer in the past 10–20 years.

Phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase diverts glycolytic flux and contributes to oncogenesis [PDF]
Most tumors exhibit increased glucose metabolism to lactate, however, the extent to which glucose-derived metabolic fluxes are used for alternative processes is poorly understood [1, 2].

eIF3i promotes colorectal cancer cell survival via augmenting PHGDH translation
Translational regulation is one of the decisive steps in gene expression, and its dysregulation is closely related to tumorigenesis. Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 subunit i (eIF3i) promotes tumor growth by selectively regulating gene translation, but the underlying mechanisms are largely unknown.

Can small molecular inhibitors that stop de novo serine synthesis be used in cancer treatment?
To sustain their malignancy, tumour cells acquire several metabolic adaptations such as increased oxygen, glucose, glutamine, and lipids uptake. Other metabolic processes are also enhanced as part of tumour metabolic reprogramming, for example, increased

Cancer Cell Metabolism: One Hallmark, Many Faces [PDF]
Cancer cells must rewire cellular metabolism to satisfy the demands of growth and proliferation. Although many of the metabolic alterations are largely similar to those in normal proliferating cells, they are aberrantly driven in cancer by a combination ...

Genome-wide analyses identify common variants associated with macular telangiectasia type 2 [PDF]
Idiopathic juxtafoveal retinal telangiectasis type 2 (macular telangiectasia type 2; MacTel) is a rare neurovascular degenerative retinal disease. To identify genetic susceptibility loci for MacTel, we performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS ...

High Expression of PHGDH Predicts Poor Prognosis in Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer
Tumors have exceptionally high demands for energy and anabolism because of their rapid growth. The de novo serine synthesis pathway initiated by phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PHGDH) has been recognized as a hallmark of metabolic adaption in ...

Mitochondrial Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxykinase Regulates Metabolic Adaptation and Enables Glucose-Independent Tumor Growth [PDF]
Cancer cells adapt metabolically to proliferate under nutrient limitation. Here we used combined transcriptional-metabolomic network analysis to identify metabolic pathways that support glucose-independent tumor cell proliferation.

3-Phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PHGDH) has recently been identified as an attractive target in cancer therapy as it links upregulated glycolytic flux to increased biomass production in cancer cells. PHGDH catalyses the first step in the serine synthesis pathway and thus diverts glycolytic flux into serine synthesis.

PHGDH as a mechanism for resistance in metabolically-driven cancers
At the forefront of cancer research is the rapidly evolving understanding of metabolic reprogramming within cancer cells. The expeditious adaptation to metabolic inhibition allows cells to evolve and acquire resistance to targeted treatments, which makes therapeutic exploitation complex but achievable.
