Hepatocarcinogenesis and ceramide/cholesterol metabolism.
Sphingolipids (SLs) and cholesterol are critical structural components of membrane bilayers. Although recent evidence has revealed an emerging role of both lipids in signaling pathways, their contribution to cancer development and treatment has been largely overlooked. Sphingolipids comprise a family of bioactive lipids with divergent roles in numerous cellular processes. In particular, ceramid...
متن کاملFatty acid metabolism. VIII. Acetate metabolism in vitro during hepatocarcinogenesis by p-dimethylaminoazobenzene.
Previous studies have revealed tha t transplanted tumors, including the hepatoma, display a distinctive pattern of fa t ty acid metabolism which bears little resemblance to tha t of liver, being more characteristic of nonhepatic tissue. Thus, tumor slices oxidize fat ty acids but produce little or no ketone bodies (19); they utilize acetoacetate more readily than do liver slices (19); and they ...
متن کاملPeroxisome proliferation and hepatocarcinogenesis.
Peroxisome proliferators constitute a novel class of non-mutagenic hepatocarcinogens, all of which induce a similar pleiotropic response consisting of hepatomegaly, proliferation of peroxisomes in the liver parenchyma] cells and the induction of several hepatic enzymes, particularly those of the peroxisomal fatty acid /3oxidation system (1—3). Presently several structurally dissimilar hypolipid...
متن کاملMetabolism of neoplastic tissues. XVI. Glucokinase activity and glycogen levels during hepatocarcinogenesis by azo dyes.
Levels of glucokinase activity and glycogen in rat liver during carcinogenesis by p-dimethylaminoazobenzene (DAB) and 3'-Me-DAB were somewhat decreased, but at no time throughout the "preneoplastic" period of 29 and 13 weeks, respectively, were the values outside the physiologically normal range for fed animals. Tumors (cholangiocarcinomas) arising in rats fed the carcinogenic diets had very lo...
متن کاملMicroRNA-148a deficiency promotes hepatic lipid metabolism and hepatocarcinogenesis in mice
miRNAs are involved in many physiologic and disease processes by virtue of degrading specific mRNAs or inhibiting their translation. miR-148a has been implicated in the control of tumor growth and cholesterol and triglyceride homeostasis using in vitro or in vivo gene expression- and silencing-based approaches. Here miR-148a knockout (KO) mice were used to investigate the intrinsic role of miR-...
