Small molecule inhibitors provide insights into the relevance of LAT1 and LAT2 in materno-foetal amino acid transport
26 views | Nov 04 2020
Jonas Zaugg et al. thought that differential specificity of the applied inhibitors allowed for estimation of the contribution of LAT1 and LAT2 in materno-foetal AA transfer and their potential impact in pregnancy diseases associated with impaired foetal growth. [Read the Full Post]
JPH203, a selective L-type amino acid transporter 1 inhibitor, induces mitochondria-dependent apoptosis in Saos2 human osteosarcoma cells
127 views | Jan 08 2020
Choi DW et al. suggested that the inhibition of LAT1 activity via JPH203, which may act as a potential novel anti-cancer agent, leads to apoptosis mediated by the mitochondria-dependent intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway by inducing the intracellular depletion of neutral amino acids essential for cell growth in Saos2 human osteosarcoma cells.

Inhibition of the amino-acid transporter LAT1 demonstrates anti-neoplastic activity in medulloblastoma
175 views | Aug 10 2019
Cormerais Y et al. demonstrated that a long-term treatment with JPH203 does not lead to resistance in MB cells. Therefore, this study suggests that targeting LAT1 with JPH203 is a promising therapeutic approach for MB treatment. [Read the Full Post]
