Targeting Disease through Metabolism
نویسندگان
چکیده
The links between cellular and systemic metabolism and different pathologies, including cancer, are on the rise. Cell editor Lara Szewczak asked Doug Green, Ralph DeBerardinis, and Mark Febbraio about what the prospects are for being able to target metabolism therapeutically. An annotated excerpt of the conversation appears below, and the full conversation is available with the article online.

A study on the targeting of ceramide metabolism by (-)-epicatechin gallate, catechin and quercetin in A-549 lung cancer cell line
Catechin, epicatechin gallate (ECG) and quercetin, as bioactive flavonoids, have been shown to possess anticarcinogenic effects. Ceramide plays an important role in killing tumor cells. Accordingly, the aim of this study was to clarify the involvement of these compounds in ceramide metabolism in A549 cancerous cell line. Spectrophotometer, cell culture and HPLC methods were used. Cell viability...
متن کاملMiR-570 inhibits cell proliferation and glucose metabolism by targeting IRS1 and IRS2 in human chronic myelogenous leukemia
Objective(s): Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is a chronic myeloproliferative disorder characterized by the accumulation of myeloid cells with a chromosomal translocation known as the Philadelphia chromosome. In this study, we investigated the roles of miR-570 in CML development. Materials and Methods: Expression of miR-570 in CML samples and cell lines was determined by qRT-PCR. Glucose upt...
متن کاملNeed for Optimisation of Immunisation Strategies Targeting Invasive Meningococcal Disease in the Netherlands
Invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) is a severe bacterial infectious disease with high mortality and morbidity rates worldwide. In recent years, industrialised countries have implemented vaccines targeting IMD in their National Immunisation Programmes (NIPs). In 2002, the Netherlands successfully implemented a single dose of meningococcal serogroup C conjugate vaccine at the age of 14 months a...
متن کاملRepression of Matrix Metalloproteinases and Cytokine Secretion in Glioblastoma by Targeting K+ Channel: An in Vitro Study
Introduction: Glioblastoma is an aggressive malignancy of human brain with poorly understood pathogenesis. Voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channels and Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are highly expressed in malignant tumors and involved in the progression and metastasis of glioblastoma. The purpose of this study was to determine whether a voltage-dependent potassium channel blocker could modulat...

Introduction: Hepcidin is the principal modulator of systemic iron metabolism, and its role in the brain has been clarified recently. Studies have shown hepcidin plays an important role for in neuronal iron load and inflammation. This is of significance because neuronal iron load and inflammation are pathophysiological processes that have been highly linked to neurodegeneration. Moreover, the a...
