TLDR
This review examines the idea that several core fluxes, including aerobic glycolysis, de novo lipid biosynthesis, and glutamine-dependent anaplerosis, form a stereotyped platform supporting proliferation of diverse cell types and regulates regulation of these fluxes by cellular mediators of signal transduction and gene expression.

The active form of the metabolic sensor: AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) directly binds the mitotic apparatus and travels from centrosomes to the spindle midzone during mitosis and cytokinesis.

TL;DR: A primordial mitotic role for the α catalytic AMPK subunit in the eukaryotic evolutionary process as it may ensure, at the cell level, an exquisite coordination between sensing of energy resources and the fundamental biological process of genome division.

Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA): applications in drug delivery and tissue engineering.

TL;DR: This review provides an overview of the polyhydroxyalkanoates biosynthesis and their possible applications in drug delivery in the range of micro- and nano-size and the possible Applications in tissue engineering are covered considering macro- and microporous scaffolds and extracellular matrix analogs.

TNFα and IL-17 cooperatively stimulate glucose metabolism and growth factor production in human colorectal cancer cells

TL;DR: The pro-inflammatory cytokines TNFα and IL-17 may contribute to this effect by stimulating glycolysis and growth factor production in colorectal cancer cells by synergistically stimulated production by HT-29 cells of a growth factor that simulated proliferation/survival of NIL8 fibroblastic cells.

Receptor tyrosine kinase ErbB2 translocates into mitochondria and regulates cellular metabolism

TL;DR: A novel observation that ErbB2 also localizes in mitochondria of cancer cells and patient samples is described and it is found that ErBB2 translocates into mitochondria through the association with mtHSP70, which negatively regulates mitochondrial respiratory functions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pyruvate kinase isoenzyme M2 is a glycolytic sensor differentially regulating cell proliferation, cell size and apoptotic cell death dependent on glucose supply.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that, at normal blood glucose concentrations, peptide aptamer-mediated inhibition of M2-PK induces a significant decrease of the population doubling and cell proliferation rate as well as a increase in cell size, whereas under glucose restriction an increase in PDL and celliferation rates but a decrease incell size was observed.

HIF-1-mediated expression of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase: A metabolic switch required for cellular adaptation to hypoxia

TL;DR: A hypoxia-induced metabolic switch that shunts glucose metabolites from the mitochondria to glycolysis to maintain ATP production and to prevent toxic ROS production is revealed.
