    93-100页
    查看更多>>摘要:Metabolism encompasses a series of intricate biochemical processes that are vital for the sustenance of life in organisms.Metabolomics,an essential scientific discipline,is a field of study within the broader domain of systems biology that focuses on the comprehensive analysis of small molecules,known as metabolites including lipids,coenzymes,etc.,which are synthesized during metabolism.With the contin-uous development of metabolomics,the multiple biological functions of metabolites are constantly being discovered,encompassing signal transduction and enzyme stimulation,while concurrently exhibiting as-sociations with afflictions like cancer and diabetes.The comprehension of metabolite functionalities and their intricate interplay with disease conditions assumes paramount importance in both disease-focused research endeavors and the development of diagnostic tools.This scholarly exposition undertakes an ex-tensive review of recent advancements in the investigation of functional roles assumed by metabolites,with specific emphasis on metabolites in lipid synthesis,glucose metabolism and exogenous metabolites.

    查看更多>>摘要:The isolation of circulating tumor cells(CTCs)from complex biological samples is of paramount signifi-cance for advancing cancer diagnosis,prognosis,and treatment.However,the low concentration of CTCs and nonspecific adhesion of white blood cells(WBCs)present challenges that hinder the efficiency and purity of captured CTCs.Microfluidic-based strategies utilize precise fluid control at the micron level to incorporate specific micro/nanostructures or recognition molecules,enabling effective CTCs separation.Moreover,by employing surface modification designs that exhibit exceptional anti-adhesion properties against WBCs,the purity of isolated CTCs can be further enhanced.This review offers an in-depth explo-ration of recent advancements,challenges,and opportunities associated with microfluidic-based CTCs iso-lation from biological samples.Firstly,we will comprehensively introduce the microfluidic-based strate-gies for achieving high-efficiency CTCs isolation,which includes the morphological design of microchan-nels for physical force-based CTCs isolation and the specific modification of microchannel surfaces for affinity-based CTCs isolation.Subsequently,a review of recent research advances in microfluidic-based high-purity CTCs isolation is presented,focusing on strategies that decrease the nonspecific adhesion of WBCs through surface micro-/nanostructure construction or chemical and biological modification.Finally,we will summarize the article by providing the prospective opportunities and challenges for the future development of microfluidic-based CTCs isolation.

    查看更多>>摘要:Small molecule inhibitors have dominated the pharmaceutical landscape for a long time as the primary therapeutic paradigm targeting pathogenic proteins.However,their efficacy heavily relies on the amino acid composition and spatial constitution of proteins,rendering them susceptible to drug resistance and failing to target undruggable proteins.In recent years,the advent of targeted protein degradation(TPD)technology has captured substantial attention from both industry and academia.Employing an event-driven mode,TPD offers a novel approach to eliminate pathogenic proteins by promoting their degrada-tion,thus circumventing the limitations associated with traditional small molecule inhibitors.Hydropho-bic tag tethering degrader(HyTTD)technology represents one such TPD approach that is currently in the burgeoning stage.HyTTDs employ endogenous protein degradation systems to induce the degrada-tion of target proteins through the proteasome pathway,which displays significant potential for medical value.In this review,we provide a comprehensive overview of the development history and the reported mechanism of action of HyTTDs.Additionally,we delve into the physiological roles,structure-activity re-lationships,and medical implications of HyTTDs targeting various disease-associated proteins.Moreover,we propose insights into the challenges that necessitate resolution for the successful development of HyTTDs,with the ultimate goal of initiating a new age of clinical treatment leveraging the immense po-tential of HyTTDs.

    A selective HK2 degrader suppresses SW480 cancer cell growth by degrading HK2

    查看更多>>摘要:Hexokinase 2(HK2)is the rate-limiting enzyme in the first step of glycolysis,catalyzing glucose to glucose-6-phosphate,and overexpressed in most cancer cells.HK2 also binds to voltage-dependent anion channel(VDAC)to stabilize the mitochondrial outer membrane,which inhibits cancer cell apoptosis.Therefore,HK2 has become a potential target for cancer treatment.Proteolysis targeting chimeras(PROTACs)are hetero-bifunctional molecules that recruit an E3 ubiquitin ligase to a given substrate protein resulting in its targeted degradation.Many potent and specific PROTACs targeting dissimilar targets have been developed.In this study,an HK2 PROTAC,4H-5P-M,was developed and induced the degradation of HK2 relying on the ubiquitin-proteasome system.It was found that 4H-5P-M as an effective HK2 degrader induced HK2 degradation in a dose-and time-dependent manner and suppressed the growth of SW480 cells.4H-5P-M selectively induced HK2 degradation at a lower concentration than other hexokinase isozymes.Moreover,it could suppress glycolysis and accelerate the apoptosis of cancer cells.Therefore,it provided a new insight into the development of anti-tumor drugs.
