Therapeutic Targeting of the Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Complex/Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Kinase (PDC/PDK) Axis in Cancer [PDF]

JNCI: Journal of the National Cancer Institute, 2017
The mitochondrial pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) irreversibly decarboxylates pyruvate to acetyl coenzyme A, thereby linking glycolysis to the tricarboxylic acid cycle and defining a critical step in cellular bioenergetics. Inhibition of PDC activity by pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDK)-mediated phosphorylation has been associated with the ...

Identification and Characterization of a Novel Biallelic SLC12A2 Variant Associated With Kilquist Syndrome (OMIM #619080)

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents the case of a child with multiple congenital anomalies, severe hypotonia, and profound bilateral sensorineural hearing loss. Functional bioenergetic assessments showed no significant mitochondrial respiratory defects, and riboflavin (Rf) status evaluation excluded a deficiency in Rf transporters as a cause of hearing loss ...

Metabolic alterations in human pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells treated with PDGF‐BB

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Metabolic abnormalities are considered to play a key regulatory role in vascular remodeling of pulmonary arterial hypertension. We analyzed the metabolome in the culture supernatants of human pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMC) during the malignant proliferation phenotype transition via a targeted metabolomics method. Significant and extensive

Molecular cloning of the p45 subunit of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase.

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1994
Purified preparations of rat heart pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase have two polypeptides with molecular weights of 48,000 (p48) and 45,000 (p45). Recently, we reported the primary structure of p48 (Popov, K. M., Kedishvili, N. Y., Zhao, Y., Shimomura, Y., Crabb, D. W., and Harris, R. A. (1993) J. Biol. Chem. 268, 26602-26606) and presented evidence that (

A Drosophila model of prion disease and its metabolic changes in the brain

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
We developed a Drosophila model for prion disease, and flies were capable of expressing the hamster prion protein (HaPrP) under the control of the GAL4/UAS system. The model exhibited some characteristics of the disease in mammals and displayed alterations in protein, sphingolipid, and carbohydrate metabolism. Preliminary applications have demonstrated

Fluorometric procedures for measuring triglyceride concentrations in small amounts of tissue and plasma.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1988
It has been previously shown that triglycerides can be specifically hydrolyzed by lipase from Rhizopus arrhizus in the presence of hog liver esterase and sodium dodecyl sulfate.

Therapeutic targeting of myeloid cells in liver fibrosis: Mechanisms and clinical prospects

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This review systematically summarizes the origin, recruitment, and differentiation regulation mechanisms of myeloid cells in driving hepatic fibrosis progression. By targeting these three critical phases, potential therapeutic strategies for liver fibrosis can be explored.

The Central Role of Glucokinase in Glucose Homeostasis: A Perspective 50 Years After Demonstrating the Presence of the Enzyme in Islets of Langerhans

Frontiers in Physiology, 2019
It is hypothesized that glucokinase (GCK) is the glucose sensor not only for regulation of insulin release by pancreatic β-cells, but also for the rest of the cells that contribute to glucose homeostasis in mammals. This includes other cells in endocrine

Extracellular Vesicles in Calcium Oxalate Nephrolithiasis: Emerging Biomarkers and Therapeutic Potential

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Kidney stones cause significant pain and healthcare costs. Current prediction, diagnosis, and treatment options are limited. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), rich in proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids, offer a promising solution. This review explores the roles of EVs in kidney stone management, highlighting their potential as biomarkers and therapeutic ...
