8 C11-Orf67 - Metabolism and Biosynthesis Nodes

9 C11-Orf67 - Metabolism and Biosynthesis Nodes C11Orf67 leads to upregulation of: MTHFD1L - an enzyme involved in tetrahydofolate synthesis and consequently purine and pyrimidine metabolism in mitochondria. ALDH1L2 - a mitochondrial isoform enzyme that converts 10- formyltetrahydrofolate to tetrahydrofolate Expression of the mitochondrial glycine biosynthesis pathway is associated with mortality in breast cancer patients. Jain et al. Science May 25; 336(6084):

10 C11-Orf67 - Metabolism and Biosynthesis Nodes This raises the question as to whether CMF should form part of the ideal adjuvant treatment for these tumours and whether other anti-folate strategies might be employed.

56 Enoughs Enough

57 Summary A number of native and induced biological mechanisms exist that may contribute to chemoresistance. Many are potentially exploitable to enhance therapeutic outcomes. Certain phenotypes may render the tumour sensitive to certain chemotherapies C11Orf67 for anti-metabolites shows promise. Reactivating apoptotic potential through triggering (eg PKR) or effector mechanisms (eg Bcl2 inhibition through ER blockade) may prove effective. Multidrug resistance targeting has not yet proven effective. Mechanisms controlling expression rather than function (eg BMP4) may meet with more success. EMT triggers and mechanisms are diverse with similarly diverse effects on outcome. Screen-identified agents with efficacy against mesenchymally shifted cells (eg salinomycin, etoposide) could add efficacy to current treatments. Study of EMT arising as a result of chemotherapy exposure, dense breast tissue, NOTCH signalling or other stimuli may yield alternative routes to target the mesenchymal state.
