As the principal substrate and cofactor engaged in diverse metabolic reactions, CoA and its derivatives exert central influence over various physiological processes, primarily modulating lipid and ketone metabolism, as well as protein modification. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the molecular mechanisms by which CoA influences the onset and progression of cancer, cardiovascular disease (CVD), neurodegenerative disorders, and other illnesses. The main focal points include the following. (1) In cancer, enzymes such as acetyl-CoA synthetase 2, ATP citrate lyase, and acetyl-CoA carboxylase regulate lipid synthesis and energy metabolism by modulating acetyl-CoA levels. (2) In CVD, the effects of enzymes such as stearoyl-CoA desaturase-1, 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA (HMGC) synthase 2, and HMGC reductase on the formation and advancement of these diseases are elucidated by their regulation of CoA metabolism across multiple organs. (3) In neurodegenerative disorders, the significance of CoA in maintaining cholesterol homeostasis in the brain and its implications on the development of such disorders are thoroughly discussed. The metabolic processes involving CoA and its derivatives span all physiological aspects within cells, playing a critical role in the onset and progression of various diseases. Elucidating the role of CoA in these conditions yields important insights that can serve as valuable references and guidance for disease diagnosis, treatment, and drug development.","PeriodicalId":50430,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Bioscience-Landmark","volume":"120 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140724697","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent findings indicate that certain complement components display a significant rise in expression within esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). However, the specific tumorigenic functions of these components remain unclear. This study focuses on investigating the expression pattern of C1r, elucidating a role for C1r in ESCC, as well as exploring underlying mechanisms controlled by C1r. Methods : The expression of C1r in ESCC tissues, malignant epithelial cells, and its relationship with survival were analyzed using the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and tissue microarrays. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) was used to study the expression of C1r in malignant epithelial cells. C1r knockdown or C1r overexpression in cultured ESCC cells were used to assess the effects of C1r on proliferation, migration, invasion, cell-matrix adhesion, apoptosis, and growth of xenografted tumors in immunocompromised (nude) mice. Western blotting was used to detect the expression of MMP-1 and MMP-10 in C1r knockdown or C1r overexpressing ESCC cells. Results : C1r was highly expressed in ESCC tissues, malignant epithelial cells, and cultured ESCC cell lines. High C1r expression indicated a poor prognosis. Knockdown of C1r significantly suppressed the proliferation, migration, invasion, cell-matrix adhesion, and promoted apoptosis in cultured ESCC cells. Additionally, knockdown of C1r markedly inhibited tumor growth in nude mice. Overexpression of C1r had the opposite effects. C1r induced the expression of MMP-1 and MMP-10. Conclusions : C1r is highly expressed in ESCC and promotes the progression of this tumor type. Our findings suggest that C1r may serve as a novel prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target in ESCC.","PeriodicalId":50430,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Bioscience-Landmark","volume":"16 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140753852","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
