A systematic molecular and pharmacologic evaluation of AKT inhibitors reveals new insight into their biological activity.
Kostaras, E; Kaserer, T; Lazaro, G; Heuss, SF; Hussain, A; et al. (SPRINGERNATURE, 2020-08-18)BACKGROUND: AKT, a critical effector of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) signalling cascade, is an intensely pursued therapeutic target in oncology. Two distinct classes of AKT inhibitors have been in clinical development, ... -
De novo phosphatidylcholine synthesis is required for autophagosome membrane formation and maintenance during autophagy.
Andrejeva, G; Gowan, S; Lin, G; Wong Te Fong, A-CL; Shamsaei, E; et al. (TAYLOR & FRANCIS INC, 2020-06)UNLABELLED: Macroautophagy/autophagy can enable cancer cells to withstand cellular stress and maintain bioenergetic homeostasis by sequestering cellular components into newly formed double-membrane vesicles destined for ... -
Dichloroacetate induces autophagy in colorectal cancer cells and tumours.
Lin, G; Hill, DK; Andrejeva, G; Boult, JKR; Troy, H; et al. (NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2014-07-15)BACKGROUND: Dichloroacetate (DCA) has been found to have antitumour properties. METHODS: We investigated the cellular and metabolic responses to DCA treatment and recovery in human colorectal (HT29, HCT116 WT and HCT116 ... -
Evaluation of the combination of the dual m-TORC1/2 inhibitor vistusertib (AZD2014) and paclitaxel in ovarian cancer models.
Wong Te Fong, A-C; Thavasu, P; Gagrica, S; Swales, KE; Leach, MO; et al. (IMPACT JOURNALS LLC, 2017-12-26)Activation of the PI3K/mTOR pathway has been shown to be correlated with resistance to chemotherapy in ovarian cancer. We aimed to investigate the effects of combining inhibition of mTORC1 and 2 using the mTOR kinase ... -
Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS)-Based Methods for Examining Cancer Metabolism in Response to Oncogenic Kinase Drug Treatment.
Chung, Y-L (HUMANA PRESS INC, 2017-01-01)Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is an analytical technique that has been extensively used to examine reprogrammed metabolism and treatment response in cancer cells and solid tumors both in vivo and ex vivo. High-resolution ... -
Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy to Study Glycolytic Metabolism During Autophagy.
Chung, Y-L; Leach, MO; Eykyn, TR (ELSEVIER ACADEMIC PRESS INC, 2017-01-01)Cancer cells undergoing starvation- and treatment-induced autophagy were found to exhibit reduced intracellular lactate, reduced rates of steady-state lactate excretion and reduced real-time pyruvate-lactate exchange rates, ... -
Metabolic biomarkers of response to the AKT inhibitor MK-2206 in pre-clinical models of human colorectal and prostate carcinoma.
Al-Saffar, NMS; Troy, H; Wong Te Fong, A-C; Paravati, R; Jackson, LE; et al. (NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-10-30)BACKGROUND: AKT is commonly overexpressed in tumours and plays an important role in the metabolic reprogramming of cancer. We have used magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) to assess whether inhibition of AKT signalling ... -
Radiosynthesis of the anticancer nucleoside analogue Trifluridine using an automated 18F-trifluoromethylation procedure.
King, A; Doepner, A; Turton, D; Ciobota, DM; Da Pieve, C; et al. (ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY, 2018-04-25)Trifluoromethyl groups are widespread in medicinal chemistry, yet there are limited 18F-radiochemistry techniques available for the production of the complementary PET agents. Herein, we report the first radiosynthesis of ... -
The effect of FASN inhibition on the growth and metabolism of a cisplatin-resistant ovarian carcinoma model.
Papaevangelou, E; Almeida, GS; Box, C; deSouza, NM; Chung, Y-L (WILEY, 2018-08-15)Overexpression of fatty acid synthase (FASN), a key regulator of the de novo synthesis of fatty acids, has been demonstrated in a variety of cancers and is associated with poor prognosis and increased multidrug resistance. ... -
Vps34 PI 3-kinase inactivation enhances insulin sensitivity through reprogramming of mitochondrial metabolism.
Bilanges, B; Alliouachene, S; Pearce, W; Morelli, D; Szabadkai, G; et al. (NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-11-27)Vps34 PI3K is thought to be the main producer of phosphatidylinositol-3-monophosphate, a lipid that controls intracellular vesicular trafficking. The organismal impact of systemic inhibition of Vps34 kinase activity is not ...
