Reactivation of Dihydroorotate Dehydrogenase-Driven Pyrimidine Biosynthesis Restores Tumor Growth of Respiration-Deficient Cancer Cells.

TL;DR: It is shown that pyrimidine biosynthesis dependent on respiration-linked dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) is required to overcome cell-cycle arrest, while mitochondrial ATP generation is dispensable for tumorigenesis, pointing to inhibitors of DHODH as potential anti-cancer agents.
Journal Article

Molecular mechanisms of cardiac protection by adaptation to chronic hypoxia.

TL;DR: This review summarizes current limited evidence for the involvement of ATP-sensitive potassium channels, reactive oxygen species, nitric oxide and various protein kinases in cardioprotective effects of chronic hypoxia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of mitochondrial KATP modulators on cardioprotection induced by chronic high altitude hypoxia in rats

TL;DR: The results suggest that opening of mitochondrial K(ATP) channels is involved in the cardioprotective mechanism conferred by long-term adaptation to intermittent high altitude hypoxia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reciprocal changes in the postnatal expression of the sarcolemmal Na+-Ca2+-exchanger and SERCA2 in rat heart

TL;DR: The inversely related changes in the post-natal expression and function of the Na(+)-Ca2+ exchanger and SR Ca(2+)-ATPase suggest a coordinated control at the pretranslational level of the cellular Ca2+ transport processes mediated by the two membrane proteins.
