Molecular imaging kits for hexosamine biosynthetic pathway in oncology.
Noninvasive imaging assessment of tumor cell proliferation could be helpful in the evaluation of tumor growth potential, the degree of malignancy, and could provide an early assessment of treatment response prior to changes in tumor size determined by computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), Positron emission tomography (PET), Single-Photon emission computed tomography (SPECT...
متن کاملHexosamine biosynthetic pathway mutations cause neuromuscular transmission defect.
Neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) are synapses that transmit impulses from motor neurons to skeletal muscle fibers leading to muscle contraction. Study of hereditary disorders of neuromuscular transmission, termed congenital myasthenic syndromes (CMS), has helped elucidate fundamental processes influencing development and function of the nerve-muscle synapse. Using genetic linkage, we find 18 diff...
متن کاملDifferential hexosamine biosynthetic pathway gene expression with type 2 diabetes
The hexosamine biosynthetic pathway (HBP) culminates in the attachment of O-linked β-N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) onto serine/threonine residues of target proteins. The HBP is regulated by several modulators, i.e. O-linked β-N-acetylglucosaminyl transferase (OGT) and β-N-acetylglucosaminidase (OGA) catalyze the addition and removal of O-GlcNAc moieties, respectively; while flux is controlled ...
متن کاملNutrient shortage triggers the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway via the GCN2-ATF4 signalling pathway
The hexosamine biosynthetic pathway (HBP) is a nutrient-sensing metabolic pathway that produces the activated amino sugar UDP-N-acetylglucosamine, a critical substrate for protein glycosylation. Despite its biological significance, little is known about the regulation of HBP flux during nutrient limitation. Here, we report that amino acid or glucose shortage increase GFAT1 production, the first...
متن کاملThe hexosamine biosynthetic pathway and O-GlcNAcylation drive the expression of β-catenin and cell proliferation.
The short half-life protooncogene β-catenin acquires a remarkable stability in a large subset of cancers, mainly from mutations affecting its proteasomal degradation. In this sense, colorectal cancers (CRC) form a group of pathologies in which early steps of development are characterized by an aberrant expression of β-catenin and an uncontrolled proliferation of epithelial cells. Diet has long ...
