The rheumatoid arthritis drug auranofin lowers leptin levels and exerts antidiabetic effects in obese mice.

Journal Article Cell metabolism · December 2022 Low-grade, sustained inflammation in white adipose tissue (WAT) characterizes obesity and coincides with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, pharmacological targeting of inflammation lacks durable therapeutic effects in insulin-resistant conditions. ... Full text Cite

Mitophagy deficiency increases NLRP3 to induce brown fat dysfunction in mice.

Journal Article Autophagy · May 2021 Although macroautophagy/autophagy deficiency causes degenerative diseases, the deletion of essential autophagy genes in adipocytes paradoxically reduces body weight. Brown adipose tissue (BAT) plays an important role in body weight regulation and metabolic ... Full text Cite

Epigenetic loss of AOX1 expression via EZH2 leads to metabolic deregulations and promotes bladder cancer progression.

Journal Article Oncogene · October 2020 Advanced Bladder Cancer (BLCA) remains a clinical challenge that lacks effective therapeutic measures. Here, we show that distinct, stage-wise metabolic alterations in BLCA are associated with the loss of function of aldehyde oxidase (AOX1). AOX1 associate ... Full text Cite

Correction: Epigenetic loss of AOX1 expression via EZH2 leads to metabolic deregulations and promotes bladder cancer progression.

Journal Article Oncogene · October 2020 After publication of this Article, the Authors noticed errors in some of the Figures. In Figures 2e, 2f-g, 4a, 4j, 5a and 6b, unmatched β-actin was inadvertently used as loading control for the immunoblots. These have been corrected using repeat data from ... Full text Cite

Tumour metabolism and its unique properties in prostate adenocarcinoma.

Journal Article Nature reviews. Urology · April 2020 Anabolic metabolism mediated by aberrant growth factor signalling fuels tumour growth and progression. The first biochemical descriptions of the altered metabolic nature of solid tumours were reported by Otto Warburg almost a century ago. Now, the study of ... Full text Cite

Mitochondrial pyruvate import is a metabolic vulnerability in androgen receptor-driven prostate cancer.

Journal Article Nature metabolism · January 2019 Specific metabolic underpinnings of androgen receptor (AR)-driven growth in prostate adenocarcinoma (PCa) are largely undefined, hindering the development of strategies to leverage the metabolic dependencies of this disease when hormonal manipulations fail ...
