The proximal tubule is the segment of the nephron that immediately follows the glomeruli. This portion of the nephron contributes to fluid, electrolyte and nutrient homeostasis by reabsorbing 60-70% of the filtered water and NaCl and an even greater proportion of NaHCO3. The initial or convoluted portion of the proximal tubule reabsorbs nearly all of the nutrients in the glomerular filtrate and is the site of active secretion and many of the metabolic functions of the kidney. For example, the proximal convoluted tubule is the primary site of renal ammoniagenesis and gluconeogenesis, processes that are significantly activated during metabolic acidosis. Metabolic acidosis is a common clinical condition that is characterized by a decrease in blood pH and bicarbonate concentration. Metabolic acidosis also occurs frequently as a secondary complication, which adversely affects the outcome of patients with various life- threatening conditions. This type of acidosis can occur acutely, lasting for a few hours to a day, or as a chronic condition where acid-base balance is not fully restored. -

We utilized an informatics-based approach to develop a transcriptional signature of β-cell GA stress using existing RNA sequencing and microarray datasets generated using human islets from donors with diabetes and islets where type 1(T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) had been modeled ex vivo. To narrow our results to GA-specific genes, we applied a filter set of 1,030 genes accepted as GA associated. -

Lab Catalog for iPad and Absence of GRHPR activity results in excess oxalate and usually L-glycerate excreted in the Lab Reference for iPhone urine leading to nephrolithiasis (kidney stones) and sometimes renal failure. and iPod Touch Onset of PH2 is typically in childhood or adolescence with symptoms related to kidney stones. In some cases, kidney failure may be the initial presenting feature. Nephrocalcinosis, as seen by renal ultrasound, is observed less frequently in individuals with PH2 than primary Requires iOS 5.1+ hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH1). End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is also less common and of later onset than PH1; however, once ESRD develops, oxalate deposition in other organs such as REFERENCE VALUES bone, retina, and myocardium can occur. An interpretive report will be While the exact prevalence and incidence of PH2 are not known, it is thought that PH2 is less provided. common than PH1, which has an estimated prevalence rate of 1 to 3 per million population and an incidence of 0.1 per million/year. ANALYTIC TIME Biochemical testing is indicated in patients with possible primary hyperoxaluria. Measurement 14 days of urinary oxalate in a timed, 24-hour urine collection is strongly preferred, with correction to adult body surface area in pediatric patients (HYOX / Hyperoxaluria Panel, Urine; OXU / Oxalate, Urine). In very young children (incapable of performing a timed collection), random urine oxalate to creatinine ratios may be used for determination of oxalate excretion. -

Supplementary Methods
Supplementary methods Human lung tissues and tissue microarray (TMA) All human tissues were obtained from the Lung Cancer Specialized Program of Research Excellence (SPORE) Tissue Bank at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center (Houston, TX). A collection of 26 lung adenocarcinomas and 24 non-tumoral paired tissues were snap-frozen and preserved in liquid nitrogen for total RNA extraction. For each tissue sample, the percentage of malignant tissue was calculated and the cellular composition of specimens was determined by histological examination (I.I.W.) following Hematoxylin-Eosin (H&E) staining. All malignant samples retained contained more than 50% tumor cells. Specimens resected from NSCLC stages I-IV patients who had no prior chemotherapy or radiotherapy were used for TMA analysis by immunohistochemistry. Patients who had smoked at least 100 cigarettes in their lifetime were defined as smokers. Samples were fixed in formalin, embedded in paraffin, stained with H&E, and reviewed by an experienced pathologist (I.I.W.). The 413 tissue specimens collected from 283 patients included 62 normal bronchial epithelia, 61 bronchial hyperplasias (Hyp), 15 squamous metaplasias (SqM), 9 squamous dysplasias (Dys), 26 carcinomas in situ (CIS), as well as 98 squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) and 141 adenocarcinomas. Normal bronchial epithelia, hyperplasia, squamous metaplasia, dysplasia, CIS, and SCC were considered to represent different steps in the development of SCCs. All tumors and lesions were classified according to the World Health Organization (WHO) 2004 criteria. The TMAs were prepared with a manual tissue arrayer (Advanced Tissue Arrayer ATA100, Chemicon International, Temecula, CA) using 1-mm-diameter cores in triplicate for tumors and 1.5 to 2-mm cores for normal epithelial and premalignant lesions. -
Mathematical Models for Explaining the Warburg Effect: a Review Focussed on ATP and Biomass Production

Thus, the ATP synthesis flux from glycolysis is considerably higher than in the corresponding healthy cells. This is known as the Warburg effect (named after German biochemist Otto H. Warburg) and also applies to striated muscle cells, activated lymphocytes, microglia, endothelial cells and several other cell types. For similar phenomena in several yeasts and many bacteria, the terms Crabtree effect and overflow metabolism respectively, are used. The Warburg effect is paradoxical at first sight because the molar ATP yield of glycolysis is much lower than that of respiration. Although a straightforward explanation is that glycolysis allows a higher ATP production rate, the question arises why cells do not re-allocate protein to the high-yield pathway of respiration. Mathematical modelling can help explain this phenomenon. Here, we review several models at various scales proposed in the literature for explaining the Warburg effect. These models support the hypothesis that glycolysis allows for a higher proliferation rate due to increased ATP production and precursor supply rates. -

VIEW Open Access the Role of Ubiquitination and Deubiquitination in Cancer Metabolism Tianshui Sun1, Zhuonan Liu2 and Qing Yang1*
Sun et al. Molecular Cancer (2020) 19:146 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12943-020-01262-x REVIEW Open Access The role of ubiquitination and deubiquitination in cancer metabolism Tianshui Sun1, Zhuonan Liu2 and Qing Yang1* Abstract Metabolic reprogramming, including enhanced biosynthesis of macromolecules, altered energy metabolism, and maintenance of redox homeostasis, is considered a hallmark of cancer, sustaining cancer cell growth. Multiple signaling pathways, transcription factors and metabolic enzymes participate in the modulation of cancer metabolism and thus, metabolic reprogramming is a highly complex process. Recent studies have observed that ubiquitination and deubiquitination are involved in the regulation of metabolic reprogramming in cancer cells. As one of the most important type of post-translational modifications, ubiquitination is a multistep enzymatic process, involved in diverse cellular biological activities. Dysregulation of ubiquitination and deubiquitination contributes to various disease, including cancer. Here, we discuss the role of ubiquitination and deubiquitination in the regulation of cancer metabolism, which is aimed at highlighting the importance of this post-translational modification in metabolic reprogramming and supporting the development of new therapeutic approaches for cancer treatment. Keywords: Ubiquitination, Deubiquitination, Cancer, Metabolic reprogramming Background cells have aroused increasing attention and interest [3]. Metabolic pathways are of vital importance in proliferat- Because of the generality of metabolic alterations in can- ing cells to meet their demands of various macromole- cer cells, metabolic reprogramming is thought as hall- cules and energy [1].
