Eliminação da Spindly: um gatilho para o suicídio de células cancerígenas

Um estudo liderado por investigadores da CESPU, Patrícia Silva e Hassan Bousbaa, publicado na prestigiosa revista “Cancer Letters” de 28 de maio de 2017, revela que a eliminação seletiva da Spindly, uma proteína necessária para a divisão correta das células normais, obriga as células cancerígenas tratadas por agentes quimioterápicos clássicos, a suicidar-se. Esta estratégia poderá ser um auxílio valioso aos agentes clássicos, como o paclitaxel, no combate ao cancro.

The normal cells of the organ support the metabolic adaptation of tumors

Tumor growth is dependent on the ability of malignant cells to survive in the microenvironment of the organ where it develops. Normal cells in the tumor microenvironment contribute for this adaptative process by sharing soluble factors and organic molecules that meet the energetic and biomass requirements of the tumor.

As células normais do órgão sustentam a adaptação metabólica dos tumores

O surgimento de um tumor está dependente da capacidade que as células malignas têm de sobreviver ao microambiente do órgão onde este se desenvolve. As células normais presentes no microambiente tumoral contribuem para este processo adaptativo através da partilha de fatores solúveis e moléculas orgânicas que satisfazem as exigências energéticas e de biomassa do tumor.

Abstract:

Expression of lactate transporters is associated with a worse prognosis in patients with melanoma

In the context of the metabolic reprogramming of tumor cells, in which an increase in glucose consumption and lactate production is observed, several proteins have its expression increased, including glucose transporters such as GLUT1 and lactate transporters, known as monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs).
