AMPK regulated metabolic programing: oncogenic or growth suppressive? Evolving lessons from genetic and pharmacologic studies
Background Cancer cells reprogram their metabolism for optimal growth and survival. Identifying the genes and their functions crucial for cancer metabolic reprograming might have therapeutic implications. The multifunctional kinase AMPK is an evolutionarily conserved energy sensor that plays an important role in cell proliferation, growth and survival. It remains unclear whether AMPK functions ...
متن کاملAMPK: Lessons from transgenic and knockout animals.
AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a phylogenetically conserved serine/threonine protein kinase, has been proposed to function as a fuel gauge to monitor cellular energy status in response to nutritional environmental variations. AMPK system is a regulator of energy balance that, once activated by low energy status, switches on ATP-producing catabolic pathways (such as fatty acid oxidation an...
متن کاملFamilies or Unrelated: The Evolving Debate in Genetic Association Studies
To help uncover the genetic determinants of complex disease, a scientist often designs an association study using either unrelated subjects or family members within pedigrees. But which of these two subject recruitment paradigms is preferable? This editorial addresses the debate over the relative merits of family- and population-based genetic association studies. We begin by briefly recounting ...
متن کاملEvolving a Sort: Lessons in Genetic Programming
In applying the Genetic Programming paradigm to the task of evolving iterative sorting algorithms, a variety of interesting lessons were learned. With proper selection of the primitives, sorting algorithms were evolved that are both general and non-trivial. The sorting problem was then used as a testbed to evaluate the value of several alternative parameters, with some small gains shown. The va...
متن کاملCapping and adenosine metabolism. Genetic and pharmacologic studies
Capping of membrane Ig was studied in lymphocytes treated with agents that interfere with adenosine metabolism. Treatment of murine or human B cells with combinations of coformycin, an inhibitor of adenosine deaminase, homocysteine, and adenosine impaired Ig capping. Inhibition of capping was also produced by 3-deazaadenosine, a specific inhibitor of adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase. The inhibito...
