2-Deoxy-D-glucose transport and metabolism was studied in Saccharomyces fragilis. Inside the cells four phosphorylated and three non-phosphorylated derivatives were found and identified. Accumulation of phosphorylated 2-deoxyglucose derivatives was balanced by a concomitant decrease of cellular ATP, orthophosphate and polyphosphates. The free sugar was concentrated against a concentration gradient, contradiciting facilitated diffusion. Pulse labeling experiments revealed transport-associated phosphorylation. Theoretical considerations and analysis of the effects of iodoacetate showed that an intracellular hexokinase activity was not involved in 2-deoxyglucose phosphorylation, although this sugar is a good substrate for the enzyme in in vitro experiments.

Many cancer cells share with yeast a preference for fermentation over respiration, which is associated with overactive glucose uptake and breakdown, a phenomenon called the Warburg effect in cancer cells. The yeast mutant shows even more pronounced hyperactive glucose uptake and phosphorylation causing glycolysis to stall at GAPDH, initiation of apoptosis through overactivation of Ras and absence of growth on glucose. The goal of the present work was to use the yeast strain to screen for novel compounds that would preferentially inhibit overactive glucose influx into glycolysis, while maintaining basal glucose catabolism.

Unlabelled: is a highly successful pathogen that poses a substantial threat to human health. However, the dynamic interaction between and the human gastric epithelium has not been fully investigated. In this study, using dual RNA sequencing technology, we characterized a cytotoxin-associated gene A ()-modulated bacterial adaption strategy by enhancing the expression of ATP-binding cassette transporter-related genes, and , upon coculturing with human gastric epithelial cells.

Sepsis is a common and fatal disease, especially in critically ill patients. Sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE) is a diffuse brain dysfunction with acute altered consciousness, permanent cognitive impairment, and even coma, accompanied by sepsis, without direct central nervous system infection. When managing SAE, early identification and quantification of axonal damage facilitate faster and more accurate diagnosis and prognosis.

Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent of Chagas' disease, affects 8 million people predominantly living in socioeconomic underdeveloped areas. T. cruzi trypomastigotes (Ty), the classical infective stage, interact with the extracellular matrix (ECM), an obligatory step before invasion of almost all mammalian cells in different tissues.

Both multiple sclerosis (MS) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) are progressive neurological disorders with myelin injury and memory impairment. However, whether myelin impairment could cause AD-like neurological pathology remains unclear. To explore neurological pathology following myelin injury, we assessed cognitive function, the expression of myelin proteins, axonal transport-associated proteins, axonal structural proteins, synapse-associated proteins, tau and beta amyloid and the status of neurons, using the cuprizone mouse model of demyelination.
