Abstract Lactate is an abundant oncometabolite in the tumor environment. In prostate cancer, cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF) are major contributors of secreted lactate, which can be taken up by cancer cells to sustain mitochondrial metabolism. However, how lactate impacts transcriptional regulation tumors has yet fully elucidated. Here, we describe a mechanism CAF-secreted able increase expression genes involved lipid metabolism cells. This enhanced intracellular accumulation droplets...
5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is a key component of chemotherapy for colorectal cancer (CRC). 5-FU efficacy established by intracellular levels folate cofactors and DNA damage repair strategies. However, drug resistance still represents major challenge. Here, we report that alterations in serine metabolism affect sensitivity vitro vivo CRC models. In particular, 5-FU-resistant cells display strong dependency achieved either upregulating endogenous synthesis or increasing exogenous uptake....
Cancer progression is supported by the cross-talk between tumor cells and surrounding stroma. In this context, senescent in microenvironment contribute to development of a pro-inflammatory milieu acquisition aggressive traits cancer cells. Anticancer treatments induce cellular senescence (therapy-induced senescence, TIS) both non-cancerous cells, contributing many detrimental side effects therapies. Thus, we focused on chemotherapy stromal compartment prostate ovarian cancer. We demonstrated...
Melanoma is more aggressive in male patients than female ones and this associated with sexual dimorphism immune responses. Taking into consideration the impact tumour metabolic alterations affecting landscape, we aimed to investigate effect of sex-dependent profile melanoma re-shaping composition. characterised by Warburg metabolism, secreted lactate has emerged as a key driver establishment an immunosuppressive environment. Here, identified dehydrogenase A (LDH-A) crucial player modulating...
Abstract Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are one of the main components stromal compartment in tumor microenvironment (TME) and crosstalk between CAFs cancer cells is essential for progression aggressiveness. Cancer mediate an activation process, converting normal into CAFs, that characterized by modified expression many proteins increased production release microvesicles (MVs), extracellular vesicles generated outwards budding from cell membrane. Recent evidence underlined uptake...
Metastatic melanoma is characterized by poor prognosis and a low free-survival rate. Thanks to their high plasticity, cells are able migrate exploiting different cell motility strategies, such as the rounded/amoeboid-type elongated/mesenchymal-type motility. In particular, amoeboid strongly contributes dissemination of highly invasive no treatment targeting this process currently available for clinical application. Here, we tested Claisened Hexafluoro novel inhibitor Reported data...
