HNSCC glycolysis is an important contributor to disease progression and decreases sensitivity to radiation or chemotherapy. Despite therapeutic advances, the survival rates for HNSCC patients remain low. Understanding glycolysis regulation in HNSCC will facilitate the development of effective therapeutic strategies for this disease. In this review, we will evaluate the regulation of altered HNSCC glycolysis and possible therapeutic approaches by targeting glycolytic pathways.","PeriodicalId":90946,"journal":{"name":"Postdoc journal : a journal of postdoctoral research and postdoctoral affairs","volume":"20 1","pages":"14-28"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73449194","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We have shown that the interaction between Burkholderia cenocepacia and lung epithelial cells is mediated by redox sensitive enzymes of the protein disulphide isomerase (PDI) family, in particular by ERp57. In fact, either thiol reactive agents (DTT, GSH, and DTNB) or ERp57 inhibitors are able to drastically reduce the adhesion and the invasion of B. cenocepacia into epithelial cells and to attenuate the proinflammatory response elicited by bacteria. These observations suggest that defects in GSH export in the airway surface liquid, observed in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients, may favour B. cenocepacia infection.","PeriodicalId":90946,"journal":{"name":"Postdoc journal : a journal of postdoctoral research and postdoctoral affairs","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67005907","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In patients with Cystic Fibrosis (CF), the progressive decline of pulmonary function is due to a vicious cycle of airways infection and inflammation. Inflammation can be more damaging than the insult itself if uncontrolled, excessive, or prolonged. Although there is debate over whether inflammation in the CF lung is primary (i.e., caused by CFTR mutations) or secondary to chronic infection, inflammation remains the single most significant contributor to disease progression, and its control is crucial for improving patient outcomes. Building upon the results from our past projects–indicating how the application of a systems biology approach and new findings from the laboratory may translate into the development of new therapeutics and rationales for their use–we have proposed a preclinical evaluation study of anakinra, a recombinant, non-glycosylated version of human IL-1 receptor I antagonist (IL-1Ra) in CF. Since 2001, anakinra has proved to be efficacious in a broad spectrum of autoinflammatory diseases with a remarkable record of safety.","PeriodicalId":90946,"journal":{"name":"Postdoc journal : a journal of postdoctoral research and postdoctoral affairs","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67006429","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
