Interplay Between Glucose Metabolism and Chromatin Modifications in Cancer

TLDR
A comprehensive review about the role of glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, and TCA cycle in tumorigenesis with an emphasis on revealing the novel functions of the relevant enzymes and metabolites is provided in this article.
Abstract
Cancer cells reprogram glucose metabolism to meet their malignant proliferation needs and survival under a variety of stress conditions. The prominent metabolic reprogram is aerobic glycolysis, which can help cells accumulate precursors for biosynthesis of macromolecules. In addition to glycolysis, recent studies show that gluconeogenesis and TCA cycle play important roles in tumorigenesis. Here, we provide a comprehensive review about the role of glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, and TCA cycle in tumorigenesis with an emphasis on revealing the novel functions of the relevant enzymes and metabolites. These functions include regulation of cell metabolism, gene expression, cell apoptosis and autophagy. We also summarize the effect of glucose metabolism on chromatin modifications and how this relationship leads to cancer development. Understanding the link between cancer cell metabolism and chromatin modifications will help develop more effective cancer treatments.

Moonlighting Proteins: The Case of the Hexokinases.

TL;DR: Moonlighting proteins are proteins with two or more functions that are unrelated and independent to each other, so that inactivation of one of them should not affect the second one and vice versa as mentioned in this paper.

Molecular docking and simulation studies of phytocompounds derived from Centella asiatica and Andrographis paniculata against hexokinase II as mitocan agents.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the HK2 targeting potential of phytocompounds from the selected anticancerous herbs Andrographis paniculata (AP) and Centella asiatica (CA).

Phosphorylation of Jhd2 by the Ras-cAMP-PKA(Tpk2) pathway regulates histone modifications and autophagy

TL;DR: In this article , the authors show that glycolysis regulates histone modifications and gene expression by activating protein kinase A (PKA) via the Ras-cyclic AMP pathway, and that Tp2-catalyzed Jhd2 phosphorylation also maintains H3K14 acetylation by preventing the binding of histone deacetylase Rpd3 to chromatin.

Development of simultaneous quantitative analysis of tricarboxylic acid cycle metabolites to identify specific metabolites in cancer cells by targeted metabolomic approach.

TL;DR: In this paper, a quantitative method to measure TCA cycle metabolites using LC-MS/MS to obtain useful metabolic profiles for development of diagnostic and therapeutic methods for cancer was developed.

Phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase activates PKM2 to phosphorylate histone H3T11 and attenuate cellular senescence

TL;DR: In this paper , the role of glycolysis-derived serine biosynthesis in preventing vascular endothelial cells (ECs) senescence was investigated and it was shown that PHGDH interacts with pyruvate kinase M2 to prevent PCAF-catalyzed PKM2 K305 acetylation and subsequent degradation by autophagy.

The Emerging Hallmarks of Cancer Metabolism

TL;DR: This Perspective has organized known cancer-associated metabolic changes into six hallmarks: deregulated uptake of glucose and amino acids, use of opportunistic modes of nutrient acquisition, useof glycolysis/TCA cycle intermediates for biosynthesis and NADPH production, increased demand for nitrogen, alterations in metabolite-driven gene regulation, and metabolic interactions with the microenvironment.

N6-methyladenosine in nuclear RNA is a major substrate of the obesity-associated FTO.

TL;DR: FTO exhibits efficient oxidative demethylation activity of abundant N6-methyladenosine (m6A) residues in RNA in vitro, and it is shown that FTO partially colocalizes with nuclear speckles, supporting m6A in nuclear RNA as a physiological substrate of FTO.

Oncometabolite 2-Hydroxyglutarate Is a Competitive Inhibitor of α-Ketoglutarate-Dependent Dioxygenases

TL;DR: 2-HG is a competitive inhibitor of multiple α-KG-dependent dioxygenases, including histone demethylases and the TET family of 5-methlycytosine (5mC) hydroxylases, leading to genome-wide histone and DNA methylation alterations.

Attenuation of LDH-A expression uncovers a link between glycolysis, mitochondrial physiology, and tumor maintenance

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that LDH-A plays a key role in tumor maintenance as well as stimulation of mitochondrial respiration and decrease of mitochondrial membrane potential in malignant cells.
