Metabolomics for hematologic malignancies: Advances and perspective.

With the use of advanced technology, metabolomics allows for a thorough examination of metabolites and other small molecules found in biological specimens, blood, and tissues. In recent years, metabolomics has been recognized that is closely related to the development of malignancies in the hematological system. Alterations in metabolomic pathways and networks are important in the pathogenesis of hematologic malignancies and can also provide a theoretical basis for early diagnosis, efficacy evaluation, accurate staging, and individualized targeted therapy. In this review, we summarize the prog

Proteomic and metabolomic insights into oxidative stress response activation in mouse embryos generated by in vitro fertilization.

STUDY QUESTION: How different is the global proteomic and metabolic profile of mouse blastocysts generated by IVF, cultured in optimal (5% O2) or stressful (20% O2) conditions, compared to in vivo generated blastocysts? SUMMARY ANSWER: We found that in IVF-generated embryos: (i) the proteome was more sensitive to high oxygen levels than the global metabolomic profile; (ii) enzymes involved in splicing and the spliceosome are altered; (iii) numerous metabolic pathways, particularly amino acids metabolism, are altered (iv) there is activation of the integrated stress response (ISR) and downregu

Иммунометаболизм в старении мозга и нейродегенерации: преодоление метаболических путей и иммунные ответные меры.

Сложный набор взаимодействий между иммунной системой и метаболизмом, известный как иммунометаболизм, стал критическим регулятором последствий заболеваний в центральной нервной системе. В ходе многочисленных исследований метаболические расстройства увязывались с ослабленной иммунной реакцией при старении мозга, нейродегенеративных расстройствах и травме мозга. В этом обзоре мы обсудим вопрос о том, как нарушения баланса иммунометаболизма мозга способствуют патофизиологии дисфункции мозга. В первой части обзора резюмируется вклад таких критических групп иммунной клетки, как микроглии, астроциты,

Metabolic reprogramming and cisplatin resistance: the emerging role of Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Kinases (PDKs).

Cisplatin resistance remains a primary obstacle in oncology, leading to therapeutic failure and disease recurrence. While resistance mechanisms are multifactorial, metabolic reprogramming has emerged as a critical adaptive strategy for cancer cells to evade cisplatin-induced cytotoxicity. This review synthesizes current evidence on how altered metabolism drives cisplatin resistance, with a particular emphasis on the pivotal role of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinases (PDKs). PDKs act as metabolic gatekeepers by inhibiting the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDHC), diverting glucose flux away from m

Снимок новаторского подхода к комплексному преподаванию медицинской биохимии в рамках учебной программы для оценки результатов.

Медицинская биохимия (МБ) обычно преподается в начале медицинской программы, в которой практически отсутствует клинический контекст. Время родов и устаревшие методы обучения изображают БМ в негативном свете, ограничивая понимание его важности в медицинской практике. Для решения этой проблемы авторы разработали спирально интегрированный подход к преподаванию этой темы, в рамках которого основные темы, связанные с БМ, намеренно переплетаются по всей учебной программе, предшествующей стыковке, что позволяет учащимся пересматривать и углублять свое понимание материалов в все более клинических и ме

Роль микроглии в множественном склерозе: последствия для лечения ингибиторами тиросина Брютона.

Патофизиология MS, особенно его прогрессивные формы, включает различные клеточные компоненты, включая микроглию, являющиеся основными постоянными иммунными клетками CNS. В настоящем обзоре рассматривается роль микроглии в нейроинфламмации, ремонте тканей и нейронном гомеостазе, а также их участие в MS и изучаются потенциальные терапевтические стратегии, ориентированные на микроглиальную функцию.МЕТОДЫ: Поиск литературы, проведенн

Contemporary Perspectives on the Warburg Effect Inhibition in Cancer Therapy.

In the 1920s, Otto Warburg observed the phenomenon of altered glucose metabolism in cancer cells. Although the initial hypothesis suggested that the alteration resulted from mitochondrial damage, multiple studies of the subject revealed a precise, multistage process rather than a random pattern. The phenomenon of aerobic glycolysis emerges not only from mitochondrial abnormalities common in cancer cells, but also results from metabolic reprogramming beneficial for their sustenance. The Warburg effect enables metabolic adaptation of cancer cells to grow and proliferate, simultaneously enabling

The Landscape of lncRNAs in Multiple Myeloma: Implications in the "Hallmarks of Cancer", Clinical Perspectives and Therapeutic Opportunities.

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are transcripts longer than 200 nucleotides that are not translated into proteins. Nowadays, lncRNAs are gaining importance as key regulators of gene expression and, consequently, of several biological functions in physiological and pathological conditions, including cancer. Here, we point out the role of lncRNAs in the pathogenesis of multiple myeloma (MM). We focus on their ability to regulate the biological processes identified as "hallmarks of cancer" that enable malignant cell transformation, early tumor onset and progression. The aberrant expression of lncR

Short-chain acyl post-translational modifications in cancers: Mechanisms, roles, and therapeutic implications.

Post-translational modifications (PTMs) play a pivotal role in epigenetic regulation and are key pathways for modulating protein functionality. PTMs involve the covalent attachment of distinct chemical groups, such as succinyl, crotonyl, and lactyl, at specific protein sites, which alter protein structure, function, stability, and activity, ultimately influencing biological processes. Recently, metabolically derived short-chain acylation modifications (with acyl groups containing fewer than six carbon atoms) have been progressively identified, such as butyrylation, succinylation, crotonylation

The Effects of Artificial Sweeteners on Intestinal Nutrient-Sensing Receptors: Dr. Jekyll or Mr. Hyde?

The consumption of artificial and low-calorie sweeteners (ASs, LCSs) is an important component of the Western diet. ASs play a role in the pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome, dysbiosis, inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), and various inflammatory conditions. Intestinal nutrient-sensing receptors act as a crosstalk between dietary components, the gut microbiota, and the regulation of immune, endocrinological, and neurological responses. This narrative review aimed to summarize the possible effects of ASs and LCSs on intestinal nutrient-sensing receptors and their related functions. Based on the

Metabolic Alterations in Cancer Cells and the Emerging Role of Oncometabolites as Drivers of Neoplastic Change.

The mitochondrion is an important organelle and provides energy for a plethora of intracellular reactions. Metabolic dysregulation has dire consequences for the cell, and alteration in metabolism has been identified in multiple disease states-cancer being one. Otto Warburg demonstrated that cancer cells, in the presence of oxygen, undergo glycolysis by reprogramming their metabolism-termed "aerobic glycolysis". Alterations in metabolism enable cancer cells to gain a growth advantage by obtaining precursors for macromolecule biosynthesis, such as nucleic acids and lipids. To date, several molec

Metabolic reprogramming and therapeutic resistance in primary and metastatic breast cancer.

Metabolic alterations, a hallmark of cancer, enable tumor cells to adapt to their environment by modulating glucose, lipid, and amino acid metabolism, which fuels rapid growth and contributes to treatment resistance. In primary breast cancer, metabolic shifts such as the Warburg effect and enhanced lipid synthesis are closely linked to chemotherapy failure. Similarly, metastatic lesions often display distinct metabolic profiles that not only sustain tumor growth but also confer resistance to targeted therapies and immunotherapies. The review emphasizes two major aspects: the mechanisms driving

Redox Remodeling by Nutraceuticals for Prevention and Treatment of Acute and Chronic Inflammation.

Antioxidant-rich dietary regimens are considered the best practice to maintain health, control inflammation, and prevent inflammatory diseases. Yet, nutraceuticals as food supplements are self-prescribed and purchasable over the counter by healthy individuals for the purpose of beneficial effects on fitness and aging. Hence, the effectiveness, safety, and correct intake of these compounds need to be better explored. Since redox-modulating activity of these compounds appears to be involved in activation and or suppression of immune cells, the preventive use of nutraceuticals is very attractive

Research advances of lactylation modification in breast cancer.

Breast cancer (BC), a leading cause of cancer mortality in women, involves complex molecular mechanisms including post-translational modifications (PTMs). While common PTMs are well-studied, lactylation-a novel PTM linking metabolism to epigenetics-has emerged as a critical regulator in BC pathogenesis. The high concentration of lactate caused by the Warburg effect makes lactylation in tumor tissue possible. Machine learning enhances the discovery and analysis of lactylation sites by processing large datasets, revealing patterns that influence tumor behavior and patient outcomes. This review o

Processes and therapeutic perspectives of acylation modifications of lysine and cysteine in tumors.

Acylation modification plays a crucial role in tumor progression through altering protein homeostasis and localization. However, a comprehensive summary of these processes is lacking. Protein acylation modifications are comprehensively summarized and categorized based on the amino acids that are modified. This review focuses on modifications of the lysine (acetylation, succinylation, crotonylation, malonylation, and glutarylation) and cysteine (myristoylation and palmitoylation) groups. The key enzymes involved in the occurrence and erasure of different modifications, as well as their effects

Utilization of redox modulating small molecules that selectively act as pro-oxidants in cancer cells to open a therapeutic window for improving cancer therapy.

There is a rapidly growing body of literature supporting the notion that differential oxidative metabolism in cancer versus normal cells represents a metabolic frailty that can be exploited to open a therapeutic window into cancer therapy. These cancer cell-specific metabolic frailties may be amenable to manipulation with non-toxic small molecule redox active compounds traditionally thought to be antioxidants. In this review we describe the potential mechanisms and clinical applicability in cancer therapy of four small molecule redox active agents: melatonin, vitamin E, selenium, and vitamin C

Oxidative Stress Linking Obesity and Cancer: Is Obesity a 'Radical Trigger' to Cancer?

Obesity is on the rise worldwide, and consequently, obesity-related non-communicable diseases are as well. Nutritional overload induces metabolic adaptations in an attempt to restore the disturbed balance, and the byproducts of the mechanisms at hand include an increased generation of reactive species. Obesity-related oxidative stress causes damage to vulnerable systems and ultimately contributes to neoplastic transformation. Dysfunctional obese adipose tissue releases cytokines and induces changes in the cell microenvironment, promoting cell survival and progression of the transformed cancer

Metabolic Cooperation and Competition in the Tumor Microenvironment: Implications for Therapy.

The tumor microenvironment (TME) is an ensemble of non-tumor cells comprising fibroblasts, cells of the immune system, and endothelial cells, besides various soluble secretory factors from all cellular components (including tumor cells). The TME forms a pro-tumorigenic cocoon around the tumor cells where reprogramming of the metabolism occurs in tumor and non-tumor cells that underlies the nature of interactions as well as competitions ensuring steady supply of nutrients and anapleoretic molecules for the tumor cells that fuels its growth even under hypoxic conditions. This metabolic reprogram

The crosstalk between non-coding RNAs and oxidative stress in cancer progression.

As living standards elevate, cancers are appearing in growing numbers among younger individuals globally and these risks escalate with advancing years. One of the reasons is that instability in the cancer genome reduces the effectiveness of conventional drug treatments and chemotherapy, compared with more targeted therapies. Previous research has discovered non-coding RNAs' crucial role in shaping genetic networks involved in cancer cell growth and invasion through their influence on messenger RNA production or protein binding. Additionally, the interaction between non-coding RNAs and oxidativ
