A PHGDH inhibitor reveals coordination of serine synthesis and one-carbon unit fate [PDF]
Serine is a both a proteinogenic amino acid and the source of one-carbon units essential for de novo purine and deoxythymidine synthesis. In the canonical glucose-derived serine synthesis pathway, Homo sapiens phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PHGDH ...

Functional genomics reveals serine synthesis is essential in PHGDH-amplified breast cancer [PDF]
Cancer cells adapt their metabolic processes to drive macromolecular biosynthesis for rapid cell growth and proliferation[superscript 1, 2]. RNA interference (RNAi)-based loss-of-function screening has proven powerful for the identification of new and ...

Cancer metabolism: Addicted to serine. [PDF]
Cancer cells are biosynthetic factories that gear multiple metabolic pathways toward cell growth and proliferation. Serine is the metabolite consumed third most by cancer cells, after glucose and glutamine, and is used as a building block for proteins ...

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].

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

Mitochondrial phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK-M) and serine biosynthetic pathway genes are co-ordinately increased during anabolic agent-induced skeletal muscle growth [PDF]
We aimed to identify novel molecular mechanisms for muscle growth during administration of anabolic agents. Growing pigs (Duroc/(Landrace/Large-White)) were administered Ractopamine (a beta-adrenergic agonist; BA; 20ppm in feed) or Reporcin (recombinant ...

PHGDH inhibition and FOXO3 modulation drives PUMA-dependent apoptosis in osteosarcoma. [PDF]
Osteosarcoma is a bone cancer that has been found to be metabolically dependent on the conversion of glucose to serine through the rate-limiting enzyme 3-phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PHGDH).

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.

MAPK13 phosphorylates PHGDH and promotes its degradation via chaperone-mediated autophagy during liver injury. [PDF]
Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is the leading cause of acute liver failure and poses a significant clinical challenge in both diagnosis and treatment.
