Abstract:
:Previous studies have documented the roles of transport via the reduced folate carrier, retention via polyglutamylation, and increased levels of the target enzyme, dihydrofolate reductase in sensitivity to methotrexate. Recent studies have shown that the mitochondrial enzymes in the cellular metabolism of serine, folate, and glycine are overexpressed in a subset of human cancers and that their expression is required for tumor maintenance. In this Perspective article, we propose that the expression of mitochondrial enzymes in the metabolism of serine and glycine, in addition to those involved in folate metabolism, are determinants of the response to methotrexate. Furthermore, we show that myc activation in tumors is associated with upregulation of these enzymes. We propose that patients whose tumors show this phenotype will be sensitive to folate antagonists targeting thymidylate or purine biosynthesis.

CANCER RESEARCH文献大全abstract::Cancer is associated with a prothrombogenic state capable of platelet activation. Platelets, on the other hand, can support angiogenesis, a process involved in the progression of tumor growth and metastasis. However, it is unclear whether platelet/tumor interactions substantially contribute to tumor physiology. We inv...
