Introduction: High-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) is characterized by high mortality and prevalent recurrences. This study investigates the prognostic value of phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PHGDH) in HGSOC which has been linked to metabolic reprogramming and recurrences in other cancers.
Methods: Data from 306 patients with advanced-stage HGSOC treated between 2008 and 2015 were analyzed. PHGDH expression levels were determined using immunohistochemistry and categorized as "low" or "high."
Results: PHGDH-high was associated with higher FIGO stage and increased use of neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Patients with PHGDH-high tumors had significantly worse survival than PHDH-low, even after adjusting for confounding factors.

Objective: This study aims to identify whether the development of insulin resistance (IR) induced by high selenium (Se) is related to serine deficiency via the inhibition of the de novo serine synthesis pathway (SSP) by the administrations of 3-phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PHGDH) inhibitor (NCT503) or exogenous serine in mice.
Method: forty-eight male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into four groups: adequate-Se (0.1 mgSe/kg), high-Se (0.

Enzyme immobilization is an efficient and cost-effective approach to recovering, stabilizing, and enhancing enzyme catalytic properties. It is a challenge, however, for coimmobilized multiple enzymes to perform consecutive reactions without being inactivated under similar conditions. Here, we present a facile enzyme immobilization platform using β-lactoglobulin amyloid fibril hydrogels.

Background: Metabolism is error prone. For instance, the reduced forms of the central metabolic cofactors nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH), can be converted into redox-inactive products, NADHX and NADPHX, through enzymatically catalyzed or spontaneous hydration. The metabolite repair enzymes NAXD and NAXE convert these damaged compounds back to the functional NAD(P)H cofactors.

Selenium (Se) intake or selenoprotein overexpression can cause abnormal glucose metabolism and increase the risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D). The purpose of this study is to observe whether glycolysis bypass in the de novo serine synthesis pathway (SSP) is activated under high-Se stress in vitro. Initially, HCT-116, L02, HepG2, and differentiated C2C12 cells were exposed to five selenomethionine (SeMet) concentrations (0.

Article Synopsis
- To produce high-quality embryos, it's crucial to meet a set of four criteria related to early development and embryo shape.
- Non-essential amino acids, particularly serine, are vital in the culture of bovine embryos; higher concentrations of serine (1,000 µM) significantly boost the formation of compliant blastocysts compared to the standard 100 µM.
- The increase in serine aids in DNA methylation processes essential for embryo growth, while inhibiting serine metabolism leads to fewer methyl donors and reduced blastocyst formation.
