Targeting purine metabolism in ovarian cancer
Journal of Ovarian Research, 2022 Purine, an abundant substrate in organisms, is a critical raw material for cell proliferation and an important factor for immune regulation. The purine de novo pathway and salvage pathway are tightly regulated by multiple enzymes, and dysfunction in ...

Potential Mechanisms Connecting Purine Metabolism and Cancer Therapy
Frontiers in Immunology, 2018 Unrestricted cell proliferation is a hallmark of cancer. Purines are basic components of nucleotides in cell proliferation, thus impaired purine metabolism is associated with the progression of cancer.

Germ-Free Conditions Modulate Host Purine Metabolism, Exacerbating Adenine-Induced Kidney Damage
Toxins, 2020 Alterations in microbiota are known to affect kidney disease conditions. We have previously shown that germ-free conditions exacerbated adenine-induced kidney damage in mice; however, the mechanism by which this occurs has not been elucidated. To explore

A circular network of purine metabolism as coregulators of dilated cardiomyopathy
Journal of Translational Medicine, 2022 Background The crosstalk of purine biosynthesis and metabolism exists to balance the cell energy production, proliferation, survival and cytoplasmic environment stability, but disorganized mechanics of with respect to developing heart failure (HF) is ...

Purine metabolism regulates DNA repair and therapy resistance in glioblastoma
Nature Communications, 2020 Targeting genotype-independent abnormalities may overcome therapy resistance in glioblastoma despite intratumoral genomic heterogeneity. Here, the authors show that glioblastoma radiation resistance is promoted by purine metabolism and can be overcome by

Purine metabolism promotes radioresistance and is a therapeutic target in glioblastoma
Molecular & Cellular Oncology, 2020 Profound intratumoral genomic heterogeneity has limited the ability of targeted therapies to overcome therapy resistance in glioblastoma. We have defined purine metabolism as a key mediator of DNA repair and radiation resistance in glioblastoma.

Disorders of purine biosynthesis metabolism
Molecular Genetics and Metabolism, 2022 Purines are essential molecules that are components of vital biomolecules, such as nucleic acids, coenzymes, signaling molecules, as well as energy transfer molecules. The de novo biosynthesis pathway starts from phosphoribosylpyrophosphate (PRPP) and eventually leads to the synthesis of inosine monophosphate (IMP) by means of 10 sequential steps ...

HIF-1α-HPRT1 axis promotes tumorigenesis and gefitinib resistance by enhancing purine metabolism in EGFR-mutant lung adenocarcinoma [PDF]
Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer ResearchBackground The mutations of oncogenic epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is an important cause of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) malignance. It has been knowm that metabolic reprogramming is an important hallmark of malignant tumors, and purine ...
