20-HETE inhibits the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells via transforming growth factor-β
20-Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE), a cytochrome P450 arachidonic acid metabolite, has been shown to modulate the growth of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs).

This work develops a metabolic sharing strategy that employs cytidine monophosphate (CMP) to competitively reprogram floxuridine (FUDR) pyrimidine metabolism in colorectal tumor cells. Elevated intracellular FdUMP induces nucleotide imbalance, drives mitochondrial DNA release and cGAS‐STING innate immune cascade activation, and potentiates robust ...

The prognostic and therapeutic significance of biological molecular markers in human anorectal carcinomas treated with 5'fluorouracil chemoradiation. [PDF]
Advances in tumour biology have led to studies of new biological markers, which may predict treatment response and clinical outcome independently of standard clinicopathological variables.

Resolution and Quantitation of Ribonucleosides and Deoxyribonucleosides in Digested Genomic DNA by UHPLC-MS/MS. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Deoxyuridine (dUrd) is often misincorporated into genomic DNA in cancer patients receiving antimetabolite chemotherapy. This activates base excision repair and recruits ataxia telangiectasia‐mutated and Rad3‐related (ATR), which coordinates DNA repair with nucleotide metabolism by facilitating ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) activity ...

Introduction: [18F]-Labeled analogues of thymidine have demonstrated efficacy for PET imaging of cellular proliferation. We have synthesized two [18F]-labeled N3-substituted thymidine analogues, N3-[18F]fluoroethyl thymidine (N3-[18F]-FET) and N3-[18F ...

Systemic metabolic changes in acute and chronic lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus infection
Objective: Viral infection of cells leads to metabolic changes, but how viral infection changes whole-body and tissue metabolism in vivo has not been comprehensively studied. In particular, it is unknown how metabolism might be differentially affected by

Peripheral Blood DNA Methylation Changes Precede Lymphoma Diagnosis in Primary Sjögren's Disease
Objective Primary Sjögren's disease (SjD) is a systemic autoimmune disease associated with an increased risk of lymphoma. The molecular mechanisms underlying lymphomagenesis remain poorly understood, and sensitive biomarkers for early identification of patients at high risk of developing lymphoma are lacking.
