Abstract
Malate dehydrogenase (MDH) is an essential enzyme in the tricarboxylic acid cycle that functions in cellular respiration and redox homeostasis. Recent studies indicate that MDH facilitates metabolic plasticity in tumor cells, catalyzing the formation of an oncometabolite, contributing to altered epigenetics, and maintaining redox capacity to support the rewired energy metabolism and biosynthesis that enables cancer progression. This minireview summarizes current findings on the unique supporting roles played by MDH in human cancers and provides an update on targeting MDH in cancer chemotherapy.
苹果酸脱氢酶(MDH)是三羧酸循环中的一种重要酶,在细胞呼吸和氧化还原平衡中发挥作用。最近的研究表明,MDH 促进了肿瘤细胞的代谢可塑性,催化了肿瘤细胞内代谢产物的形成,促进了表观遗传学的改变,并维持了氧化还原能力以支持能量代谢和生物合成的重新配线,从而使癌症得以进展。这篇微型综述总结了目前关于 MDH 在人类癌症中发挥的独特支持作用的研究结果,并提供了在癌症化疗中靶向 MDH 的最新进展。
期刊介绍:
Essays in Biochemistry publishes short, digestible reviews from experts highlighting recent key topics in biochemistry and the molecular biosciences. Written to be accessible for those not yet immersed in the subject, each article is an up-to-date, self-contained summary of the topic.
Bridging the gap between the latest research and established textbooks, Essays in Biochemistry will tell you what you need to know to begin exploring the field, as each article includes the top take-home messages as summary points.
Each issue of the journal is guest edited by a key opinion leader in the area, and whether you are continuing your studies or moving into a new research area, the Journal gives a complete picture in one place.
Essays in Biochemistry is proud to publish Understanding Biochemistry, an essential online resource for post-16 students, teachers and undergraduates. Providing up-to-date overviews of key concepts in biochemistry and the molecular biosciences, the Understanding Biochemistry issues of Essays in Biochemistry are published annually in October.
