Isolation and purification of phosphate dependent glutaminase from sarcoma-180 tumor and its antineoplastic effects on murine model system.

Only registered users can translate articles

High rate of glutamine use is a characteristic of tumor cell both in vivo and in vitro and experimental cancer therapies have developed by depriving tumor cells of glutamine. In several investigations, bacterial glutaminase was found to be a potent therapeutic agent against varieties of tumor, but

A general survey of glutamine level in different tissues of murine solid tumor bearing mice before and after therapy with purified glutaminase.

Only registered users can translate articles

Distribution of glutamine level in different tissues of tumor bearing mice such as brain, liver, kidney, spleen, large and small intestine and the tumor itself were studied in three solid tumor models, viz, Ehrlich ascites carcinoma, Sarcoma-180 and methylcholanthrene induced carcinoma. Tumor

[13N]Ammonia and L-[amide-13N]glutamine metabolism in glutaminase-sensitive and glutaminase-resistant murine tumors.

Only registered users can translate articles

The short-term metabolic fate of labeled nitrogen derived from [13N]ammonia or from L-[amide-13N]glutamine was determined in murine tumors known to be resistant (Ridgeway Osteogenic Sarcoma (ROS] or sensitive (Sarcoma-180 (S-180)) to glutaminase therapy. At 5 min after intraperitoneal injection of

Glutamate secretion and metabotropic glutamate receptor 1 expression during Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus infection promotes cell proliferation.

Only registered users can translate articles

Kaposi's sarcoma associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is etiologically associated with endothelial Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) and B-cell proliferative primary effusion lymphoma (PEL), common malignancies seen in immunocompromised HIV-1 infected patients. The progression of these cancers occurs by the

Targeting glutamine metabolism slows soft tissue sarcoma growth.

Only registered users can translate articles

Tumour cells frequently utilize glutamine to meet bioenergetic and biosynthetic demands of rapid cell growth. However, glutamine dependence can be highly variable between in vitro and in vivo settings, based on surrounding microenvironments and complex adaptive responses to glutamine deprivation.

Targeting glutamine metabolism sensitizes pancreatic cancer to PARP-driven metabolic catastrophe induced by ß-lapachone.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDA) activate a glutamine-dependent pathway of cytosolic nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) production to maintain redox homeostasis and support proliferation. Enzymes involved in this pathway (GLS1 (mitochondrial glutaminase 1), GOT1

Glutamine-enriched diets support muscle glutamine metabolism without stimulating tumor growth.

Only registered users can translate articles

Glutamine is a principal fuel utilized by rapidly growing tumors. Advanced malignant disease results in muscle glutamine depletion and weight loss. Concern exists about providing dietary glutamine to the host with cancer since it may stimulate tumor growth. This study examined the effects of oral

Glutamine facilitates chemotherapy while reducing toxicity.

Only registered users can translate articles

Dose intensification of chemotherapy is thought to increase survival. With recent advances in hemopoietic cell modulators such as granulocyte colony stimulating factor, the limiting toxicity of intensifying chemotherapeutic regimens has become the severity of the associated enterocolitis. In animal

Effect of supplemental dietary glutamine on methotrexate concentrations in tumors.

Only registered users can translate articles

This study evaluated the effects of supplemental dietary glutamine (GLN) on methotrexate sodium concentrations in tumors and serum of sarcoma-bearing rats following the initiation of methotrexate. After randomization to a GLN diet (+GLN) or GLN-free diet (-GLN), tumor-bearing rats received 20 mg/kg

The effect of histidine ammonia-lyase on some murine tumours.

Only registered users can translate articles

The histidine ammonia-lyase from bacterial strain CAMR 5315 was partially purified to assess its effect on the growth of murine tumours. This strain was selected as the source after an extensive screening programme for histidine ammonia-lyases. The enzyme was partially purified by ammonium sulphate

The effects of glutamine-enriched total parenteral nutrition on tumor growth and host tissues.

Only registered users can translate articles

The effects of glutamine-enriched total parenteral nutrition (TPN+GLN) were studied in tumor-bearing rats because glutamine can benefit host tissues but also may stimulate tumor growth. Rats were implanted with the methylcholanthrene-induced fibrosarcoma (MCA sarcoma) and were studied when the tumor

A Critical Role of Glutamine and Asparagine γ-Nitrogen in Nucleotide Biosynthesis in Cancer Cells Hijacked by an Oncogenic Virus.

Only registered users can translate articles

While glutamine is a nonessential amino acid that can be synthesized from glucose, some cancer cells primarily depend on glutamine for their growth, proliferation, and survival. Numerous types of cancer also depend on asparagine for cell proliferation. The underlying mechanisms of the glutamine and
