Objective: Oral lichen planus (OLP) is one of the most common oral mucosa diseases, and is mainly mediated by T lymphocytes. The metabolic reprogramming of activated T cells has been shown to transform from oxidative phosphorylation to aerobic glycolysis. The present study investigated the serum levels of glycolysis-related molecules (lactate dehydrogenase, LDH; pyruvic acid, PA; lactic acid, LAC) in OLP, and the correlation with OLP activity was assessed using the reticular, atrophic and erosive lesion (RAE) scoring system.
Methods: Univariate and multivariate linear regression functions based on scikit-learn were designed to predict the RAE scores in OLP patients, and the performance of these two machine learning functions was compared.
Results: The results revealed that the serum levels of PA and LAC were upregulated in erosive OLP (EOLP) patients, when compared to healthy volunteers. Furthermore, the LDH and LAC levels were significantly higher in the EOLP group than in the nonerosive OLP (NEOLP) group. All glycolysis-related molecules were positively correlated to the RAE scores. Among these, LAC had a strong correlation. The univariate function that involved the LAC level and the multivariate function that involved all glycolysis-related molecules presented comparable prediction accuracy and stability, but the latter was more time-consuming.
Conclusion: It can be concluded that the serum LAC level can be a user-friendly biomarker to monitor the OLP activity, based on the univariate function developed in the present study. The intervention of the glycolytic pathway may provide a potential therapeutic strategy.

The study investigated the effect of casticin on the proliferation of non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC) H322 cells and explored its molecular mechanism. Firstly, the cell counting kit-8(CCK-8) assay, colony formation assay, and EdU assay were used to detect the effect of casticin on the proliferation capacity of H322 cells under different concentrations and treatment durations. Then, glucose uptake, lactate production, extracellular pH, and oxygen consumption of H322 cells were measured before and after casticin treatment to analyze its impact on glycolysis in NSCLC H322 cells.

This study presents a comprehensive examination of the physiological adaptations of white shrimp (Penaeus vannamei) to low-salinity conditions and evaluates the effects of supplementing dietary glucose on disease resistance. Compared to the control group, shrimp cultured at a salinity of 4 psu exhibit significantly elevated expression levels of adenosine 5'-monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) in the hepatopancreas, which leads to increased energy expenditure and a corresponding reduction in resistance to infection by Vibrio alginolyticus. The suppression of AMPK via dsAMPK treatment markedly enhances disease resistance.

Background: Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a highly fatal malignancy, the complex tumor microenvironment (TME) is a critical factor affecting SCLC progression. Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are crucial components of TME, yet their role in SCLC and the underlying mechanisms during their interaction with SCLC cells remain to be determined.
Methods: Microenvironmental cell components were estimated using transcriptome data from SCLC tissue available in public databases, analyzed with bioinformatic algorithms.

Background: The typical pathological feature of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a significant increase in stromal reaction, leading to a hypoxic and poorly vascularized tumor microenvironment. Tumor cells undergo metabolic reprogramming, such as the Warburg effect, yet the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood.
Methods: Interference and overexpression experiments were conducted to analyze the in vivo and in vitro effects of USP7 on the growth and glycolysis of tumor cells.

Article Synopsis
- * A study identified glycolysis-related pathways, particularly focusing on lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA), which was found to promote VSMC ferroptosis and lipid peroxidation when overexpressed.
- * There is a negative correlation between elevated LDHA and protective ferroptosis-related molecules, and the interaction with the NRF2 protein suggests that targeting LDHA could be a potential strategy for preventing or treating AD.
