EGR1-mediated metabolic reprogramming to oxidative phosphorylation contributes to ibrutinib resistance in B cell lymphoma

33 views | Oct 24 2023

The study identifies EGR1-mediated metabolic reprogramming to oxidative phosphorylation as a key mechanism driving ibrutinib resistance in B cell malignancies, suggesting that targeting this pathway with agents like metformin or IM156 could provide a potential therapeutic strategy to overcome acquired drug resistance in relapsed/refractory DLBCL or MCL.

Oxidative stress enhances the therapeutic action of a respiratory inhibitor in MYC-driven lymphoma

32 views | Aug 23 2023

The combination of complex I inhibition and high-dose ascorbate demonstrates synergistic anticancer effects in MYC-driven cancers, such as high-grade lymphomas, by inducing oxidative stress and disrupting redox homeostasis. [Read the Full Post]

Timely expression of PGAM5 and its cleavage control mitochondrial homeostasis during neurite re-growth after traumatic brain injury

54 views | Jul 27 2023

The study reveals that phosphoglycerate mutase 5 (PGAM5) acts as a mitochondrial sensor in traumatic brain injury (TBI), promoting mitophagy and subsequent cleavage by PARL, leading to increased mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) expression and functional recovery. [Read the Full Post]
