Journal ArticleDOI

p53 regulates biosynthesis through direct inactivation of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase

TL;DR: It is shown that the tumour suppressor p53, the most frequently mutated gene in human tumours, inhibits the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP), which suppresses glucose consumption, NADPH production and biosynthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Angiogenesis revisited – role and therapeutic potential of targeting endothelial metabolism

TL;DR: This work has shown that pharmacological blockade of PFKFB3 causes a transient, partial reduction in glycolysis, and reduces pathological angiogenesis with minimal systemic harm, representing a paradigm shift in anti-angiogenic therapy from targeting angiogenic factors to focusing on vascular metabolism.
Journal ArticleDOI

c-Myc modulates microRNA processing via the transcriptional regulation of Drosha

TL;DR: It is reported that Drosha, one of the most important components of the miRNA processing machinery, is a c-Myc target gene and c- myc transactivates drosha mRNA expression, thus upregulating the Drosha protein level.
