The phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent glucose phosphotransferase system (PTS) is the major uptake system responsible for transporting glucose, and is involved in glucose translocation and phosphorylation in Corynebacterium glutamicum. For the longest time, the PTS was considered as the only uptake system for glucose. However, some PTS-independent glucose uptake systems (non-PTS) were discovered in recent years, such as the coupling system of inositol permeases and glucokinases (IPGS) and the coupling system of β-glucoside-PTS permease and glucokinases (GPGS). The products (e.g. lysine, phenylalanine and leucine) will be increased because of the increasing intracellular level of phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP), while some by-products (e.g. lactic acid, alanine and acetic acid) will be reduced when this system become the main uptake pathway for glucose. In this review, we survey the uptake systems for glucose in C. glutamicum and their composition. Furthermore, we summarize the latest research of the regulatory mechanisms among these glucose uptake systems. Detailed strategies to manipulate glucose uptake system are addressed based on this knowledge.

Reduction of glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1), even deletion, may results in cartilage fibrosis and osteoarthritis. This study aims to investigate the SUMOylation of GLUT1 in osteoarthritis through small ubiquitin-like modifier 1(SUMO1), and explore the role of SUMOylated GLUT1 in glycometabolism, proliferation and apoptosis in chondrocytes. Human chondrocytes were incubated with 10 ng/mL of IL-1β to mimic osteoarthritis in vitro.

Background/objectives: Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) is a malignant liver tumor with a rising global incidence and poor prognosis, largely due to late-stage diagnosis and limited effective treatment options. Standard chemotherapy regimens, including cisplatin and gemcitabine, often fail because of the development of multidrug resistance (MDR), leaving patients with few alternative therapies. Doxycycline, a tetracycline antibiotic, has demonstrated antitumor effects across various cancers, influencing cancer cell viability, apoptosis, and stemness.

Role of Abscisic Acid in the Whole-Body Regulation of Glucose Uptake and Metabolism.

Nutrients

December 2024

Department of Experimental Medicine, Section of Biochemistry, University of Genova, Viale Benedetto XV 1, 16132 Genova, Italy.

Abscisic acid (ABA) is a hormone with a long evolutionary history, dating back to the earliest living organisms, of which modern (ABA-producing) cyanobacteria are likely descendants, which existed long before the separation of the plant and animal kingdoms, with a conserved role as signals regulating cell responses to environmental challenges. In mammals, along with the anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective function of ABA, nanomolar ABA regulates the metabolic response to glucose availability by stimulating glucose uptake in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue via an insulin-independent mechanism and increasing metabolic energy production and also dissipation in brown and white adipocytes. Chronic ABA intake of micrograms per Kg body weight improves blood glucose, lipids, and morphometric parameters (waist circumference and body mass index) in borderline subjects for prediabetes and metabolic syndrome.

Adipose tissue, particularly white adipose tissue (WAT), plays a central role in energy storage and metabolic regulation. Excess WAT, especially visceral fat, is strongly linked to metabolic disorders such as obesity and type 2 diabetes. The browning of WAT, whereby white fat cells acquire characteristics of brown adipose tissue (BAT) with enhanced thermogenic capacity, represents a promising strategy to enhance metabolic health.

Electronic address:

This study aimed to investigate the anti-fatigue efficacy and underlying mechanisms of Polygonatum cyrtonema Hua polysaccharide (PCP) in chronic sleep-deprived mice. Following three weeks of oral administration, PCP demonstrated significant efficacy in alleviating fatigue symptoms. This was evidenced by the prolonged swimming and rotarod time in the high-dose group of PCP, which increased by 73 % and 64 %, respectively.
