POU1F1 transcription factor induces metabolic reprogramming and breast cancer progression via LDHA regulation

Bergapten induces metabolic reprogramming in breast cancer cells.

Alterations in cellular metabolism are among the most consistent hallmarks of cancer. Herein, after a comprehensive metabolic phenotype characterization of MCF7 and ZR75 breast cancer cells, we investigated the activity of bergapten (Bg), a plant-derived compound, against breast cancer. The study of different biochemical pathways involved in cell metabolism revealed that the two cell lines have...

Homocysteine Induces Heme Oxygenase-1 Expression via Transcription Factor Nrf2 Activation in HepG2 Cells

Background: Elevated level of plasma homocysteine has been related to various diseases. Patients with hyperhomocysteinemia can develop hepatic steatosis and fibrosis. We hypothesized that oxidative stress induced by homocysteine might play an important role in pathogenesis of liver injury. Also, the cellular response designed to combat oxidative stress is primarily controlled by the transcripti...

Expression and Clinical Significance of Activating Transcription Factor 3 in Human Breast Cancer

  Objective(s): Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer among women worldwide. This study investigated the expression and clinical significance of activating transcription factor 3 (ATF3) in human breast cancer and its relationship with the clinical outcome of breast cancer.   Materials and Methods : ATF3 expressions were detected in 114 primary breast cancer tissues and ...

Human Cancer Biology FOXM1 Promotes theWarburg Effect and Pancreatic Cancer Progression via Transactivation of LDHA Expression

Purpose: The transcription factor Forkhead box protein M1 (FOXM1) plays critical roles in cancer development and progression. However, the regulatory role and underlying mechanisms of FOXM1 in cancer metabolism are unknown. In this study, we characterized the regulation of aerobic glycolysis by FOXM1 and its impact on pancreatic cancer metabolism. Experimental Design: The effect of altered expr...
