Cancer cells can induce molecular changes that reshape cellular metabolism, creating specific vulnerabilities for targeted therapeutic interventions. Given the importance of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in tumor development and drug resistance, and the abundance of reduced glutathione (GSH) as the primary cellular antioxidant, we examined an integrated panel of 56 glutathione metabolism-related genes (GMRGs) across diverse cancer types. This analysis revealed a remarkable association between GMRGs and low-grade glioma (LGG) survival. Unsupervised clustering and a GMRGs-based risk score (GS) categorized LGG patients into two groups, linking elevated glutathione metabolism to poorer prognosis and treatment outcomes. Our GS model outperformed established clinical prognostic factors, acting as an independent prognostic factor. GS also exhibited correlations with pro-tumor M2 macrophage infiltration, upregulated immunosuppressive genes, and diminished responses to various cancer therapies. Experimental validation in glioma cell lines confirmed the critical role of glutathione metabolism in glioma cell proliferation and chemoresistance. Our findings highlight the presence of a unique metabolic susceptibility in LGG and introduce a novel GS system as a highly effective tool for predicting the prognosis of LGG.

The exposure of humans and animals to environmental compounds is rarely restricted to a single chemical. Unfortunately, very few studies were conducted to determine cadmium and lead combined effect. The aim of this study was to clarify the neurotoxicity induced by combined exposure to lead and cadmium and its mechanism of action.

Lipid metabolism plays an important role in the regulation of early embryonic development in mammals. However, the effect of lipid metabolism mediated by peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) on the early embryonic development of sheep remains unclear. In this study, rosiglitazone (RSG), a PPARγ activator, was added to the in vitro embryo culture (IVC) medium to regulate the continuous expression of PPARγ.

Recent research has illuminated the pivotal role of the hypoxia-inducible factor-2α (HIF-2α) / peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα) pathway in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) progression. Meanwhile, HIF-2α was reported that involved in iron regulation, and aberrant iron distribution derived liver lipogenesis. Therefore, we hypothesize that HIF-2a exacerbates fatty liver by affecting iron distribution.

Resistance to sorafenib remains a major challenge in the systemic therapy of liver cancer. However, the involvement of lipid metabolism-related lncRNAs in this process remains unclear. Different expression levels of lipid metabolism-related lncRNAs in HCC were compared by analysis of Gene Expression Omnibus and The Cancer Genome Atlas databases.

As a short-rotation woody plant, Salix viminalis has the potential for phytoremediation of cadmium (Cd), but it has poor tolerance to high Cd concentrations. Melatonin (MEL), a candidate bio-promoter, was considered to play an active role in plant responses to Cd. However, the molecular mechanism by which MEL regulates metabolic processes in plants to defend against Cd stress remain unclear.
