Could NSP5a3a be a target for head and neck cancer?
The novel structural proteins (NSPs) are encoded by a family of related but distinct cDNAs expressed from a single gene [1]. This gene corresponds to locus HCMOGT-1 on chromosome 17p11.2 and encodes NSP5a3a and three other splice variants. NSP5a3a is highly expressed in some tumor cell lines and in the testis but not in other normal body tissues [1]. Further studies revealed that NSP5a3a intera...
متن کاملCould GLUT12 be a Potential Therapeutic Target in Cancer Treatment? A Preliminary Report
BACKGROUND Recent studies proposed GLUT12 to be a major glucose transporter involved in the glycolytic metabolism of cancer cells. METHODS GLUT12 expression was determined by immunohistochemistry in a selection of cancer cell lines and a tumour spheroid model. RESULTS GLUT12 expression was high in A549 and RH-36; low in HT29; and absent in NB-EB cancer cell lines. GLUT12 expression was loca...
متن کاملCould It Be a Novel Target for Neurogenic Hypertension?
Several decades of investigation have provided unequivocal support for the existence of an intrinsic brain reninangiotensin (Ang) system (RAS) and its involvement in the control of cardiovascular functions.1,2 Essential components of the RAS, ie, renin, angiotensinogen, Ang-converting enzyme, Ang-converting enzyme 2, type 1 Ang II, and type 2 Ang II receptors, as well as various aminopeptidases...

متن کاملProline metabolism supports metastasis formation and could be inhibited to selectively target metastasizing cancer cells
Metastases are the leading cause of mortality in patients with cancer. Metastasis formation requires cancer cells to adapt their cellular phenotype. However, how metabolism supports this adaptation of cancer cells is poorly defined. We use 2D versus 3D cultivation to induce a shift in the cellular phenotype of breast cancer cells. We discover that proline catabolism via proline dehydrogenase (P...
