Metabolic dependencies of metastasis-initiating cells in female breast cancer

Albert Santamaria Martinez, Pierre Vincent Dessen, Angela Madurga Alonso, Candice Megan T Young, Laurent Nam Ky Beziaud

Understanding the mechanisms that enable cancer cells to metastasize is essential in preventing cancer progression. Here we examine the metabolic adaptations of metastasis-initiating cells (MICs) in female breast cancer and how those shape their metastatic ...

Metabolic dependencies of metastasis-initiating cells in breast cancer

Candice Megan T Young

Metastasis is the process by which cancer cells from the primary tumor travel through the blood stream to generate a secondary tumor site in a distant organ. Although very few cells are able to make this journey, the resulting effects are dire since most c ...

Sodium thiosulfate, a source of hydrogen sulfide, stimulates endothelial cell proliferation and neovascularization

Georges Wagnières, Jaroslava Joniová, Séverine Marguerite Urfer

Therapies to accelerate vascular repair are currently lacking. Pre-clinical studies suggest that hydrogen sulfide (H2S), an endogenous gasotransmitter, promotes angiogenesis. Here, we hypothesized that sodium thiosulfate (STS), a clinically relevant source ...

Augmented mitochondrial energy metabolism is an early response to chronic glucose stress in human pancreatic beta cells

Loïc Dayon, Andreas Wiederkehr, Sofia Moco, Isabelle Chareyron

Aims/hypothesis In islets from individuals with type 2 diabetes and in islets exposed to chronic elevated glucose, mitochondrial energy metabolism is impaired. Here, we studied early metabolic changes and mitochondrial adaptations in human beta cells durin ...

Ultra high magnetic field for glial contribution into brain metabolism studied by MR spectroscopy and CEST methods for molecular imaging of glycogen

Elise Marie Catherine Vinckenbosch

Magnetic resonance at ultra-high field increases signal and spectral dispersion. In this thesis, I use those characteristics to investigate three different subjects in 13C spectroscopy, hyperpolarized methods and chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST ...

Hyperpolarized Magnetic Resonance Methods to Investigate Metabolic Pathways in Liver and Immune Cells

Emine Can

Dysregulation of cellular metabolism is a key feature of major diseases such as diabetes and cancer. Monitoring cellular metabolic alterations is of critical importance for improved understanding of disease progression and the development of novel therapeu ...

Direct dynamic measurement of intracellular and extracellular lactate in small-volume cell suspensions with 13C hyperpolarised NMR

Andrea Capozzi, Arnaud Comment

Hyperpolarised (HP) C-13 NMR allows enzymatic activity to be probed in real time in live biological systems. The use of in vitro models gives excellent control of the cellular environment, crucial in the understanding of enzyme kinetics. The increased conv ...

Deciphering Metabolic Regulation of Hematopoietic Stem Cell Fate

Mukul Girotra

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are responsible for life-long production of all mature blood cells. This unique characteristic makes them an ideal candidate for cell-based therapies to treat various hematological malignancies. Their extensive use in the cl ...

Lactate metabolism shift in CHO cell culture: the role of mitochondrial oxidative activity

Florian Maria Wurm, Martin Jordan, Mathieu Benjamin Stettler, Francesca Zagari

Lactate production is monitored in industrial processes as a crucial metabolite for cultured mammalian cells. Typically lactate is strongly produced during the exponential growth phase, while its net consumption is frequently observed when cells enter into ...

In vivo detection of brain Krebs cycle intermediate by hyperpolarized magnetic resonance

Rolf Gruetter, Mor-Miri Mishkovsky, Arnaud Comment

The Krebs (or tricarboxylic acid (TCA)) cycle has a central role in the regulation of brain energy regulation and metabolism, yet brain TCA cycle intermediates have never been directly detected in vivo. This study reports the first direct in vivo observati ...
