Delton Family Distinguished Professor in Organic Chemistry, and Joshua Munger, professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics and an expert in cancer cell metabolismare exploring ways to refine potential drugs that could inhibit this process and improve outcomes for patients
In KMT2A-rearranged AML, integrative multi-omics analyses identified a six-gene lactylation-associated signature (PFN1, S100A6, CBR1, LDHB, LGALS1, and PRDX1) that distinguishes this high-risk subtype from cytogenetically normal AML and associates with immune infiltration and metabolic pathway activity, defining molecular subtypes with distinct immunometabolism dependencies and suggesting potential sensitivity to PI3K, MEK, and proteasome inhibitors in signature-high cases [194]
Selenium deficiency can lead to decreased deiodinase activity, resulting in reduced T 3 levels and accumulation of inactive metabolites, thereby disrupting metabolic processes
