Subcellular one carbon metabolism in cancer, aging and epigenetics.
Front Epigenet Epigenom
July 2024
The Krantz Family Center for Cancer Research, The Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center and Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, United States.
The crosstalk between metabolism and epigenetics is an emerging field that is gaining importance in different areas such as cancer and aging, where changes in metabolism significantly impacts the cellular epigenome, in turn dictating changes in chromatin as an adaptive mechanism to bring back metabolic homeostasis. A key metabolic pathway influencing an organism's epigenetic state is one-carbon metabolism (OCM), which includes the folate and methionine cycles. Together, these cycles generate S-adenosylmethionine (SAM), the universal methyl donor essential for DNA and histone methylation.

Background: Darolutamide is a potent androgen-receptor inhibitor that has been associated with increased overall survival among patients with nonmetastatic, castration-resistant prostate cancer. Whether a combination of darolutamide, androgen-deprivation therapy, and docetaxel would increase survival among patients with metastatic, hormone-sensitive prostate cancer is unknown.
Methods: In this international, phase 3 trial, we randomly assigned patients with metastatic, hormone-sensitive prostate cancer in a 1:1 ratio to receive darolutamide (at a dose of 600 mg [two 300-mg tablets] twice daily) or matching placebo, both in combination with androgen-deprivation therapy and docetaxel.

Background: Apalutamide, a competitive inhibitor of the androgen receptor, is under development for the treatment of prostate cancer. We evaluated the efficacy of apalutamide in men with nonmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer who were at high risk for the development of metastasis.
Methods: We conducted a double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 trial involving men with nonmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer and a prostate-specific antigen doubling time of 10 months or less.
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations define a subset of non-small cell lung cancers that are sensitive to EGFR-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Treatment with EGFR TKIs improves outcomes for patients whose tumors harbor these mutations, but their efficacy is limited by the development of acquired resistance. The secondary gatekeeper mutation, T790M, is the most common resistance mechanism observed in patients who progress on erlotinib and gefitinib, and a new class of drugs has recently been developed to target mutant EGFR and T790M.
