RB in glutamine metabolism
In a majority of cancer cells, inactivation of the retinoblastoma protein (pRB) through hyperphosphorylation, deletion, or mutation leads to dissociation from E2F effector proteins and aberrant activation of downstream target genes. Suppression of pRB function ultimately results in the loss of regulatory control over multiple biochemical pathways required for tumorigenesis, including cell cycle...
متن کاملGlutamate and Glutamine in the Brain Compartmentation of Brain Glutamate Metabolism in Neurons and Glia
Intrasynaptic [glutamate] must be kept low in order to maximize the signal-to-noise ratio after the release of transmitter glutamate. This is accomplished by rapid uptake of glutamate into astrocytes, which convert glutamate into glutamine. The latter then is released to neurons, which, via mitochondrial glutaminase, form the glutamate that is used for neurotransmission. This pattern of metabol...
متن کاملbrain tumors in elderly
brain tumors in elderly are increasing as the number of people, who comprise the older population, does.about half of the patients with brain tumors appear to be over 60 years of age.in this review article, glioblastoma multiform, as the most common malignant tumor of the central nervous system in elderly is discussed in details of definition, prognosis, diagnosis, treatment and differential di...
متن کاملAvian mitochondrial glutamine metabolism.
Intact avian liver mitochondria were shown to synthesize glutamine from glutamate in the absence of exogenous ATP and ammonia. With L-[U-14C]glutamate as the substrate, there was an approximate 1:1 stoichiometry between glutamate deaminated (as measured by the release of 14CO2 due to alpha-keto-[14C]glutarate oxidation) and glutamate amidated. With L-[15N]glutamate as the substrate, the isolate...
متن کاملDysregulation of non-heme iron metabolism in glial brain tumors.
OBJECTIVE To study iron exchange irregularities in experimental animals and patients with glial brain tumors to ascertain the role of the 'iron component' in glial brain tumor pathogenesis. SUBJECT AND METHODS A suspension of A.101.08 tumor cells was implanted in the cortex of the left-brain hemisphere of rats to model experimentally induced glial brain tumor. At 7 or 14 days after implantati...
