Abstract

In tumors, cells located at some distance from blood vessels have to face a very hypoxic microenvironment. Hypoxic cells use glycolysis to produce energy, thereby creating a lactate gradient opposite to the oxygen gradient. Although lactate is generally considered as a metabolic waste product, it was recently documented in the FATH pole that lactate can also act as a substrate fueling the oxidative metabolism of oxygenated cells. In this study, we show that lactate is not only an energy substrate but takes also an active part in cancer development. More precisely, we found that lactate promotes tumor cell migration and stimulates expression of key actors for tumor invasiveness, including A1lvf P2 and ezrin. A correlation between lactate levels and angiogenesis was also established by comparing the vascular phenotype of oxidative and glycolytic tumors. These findings identify lactate as a key mediator of signaling pathways supporting cancer progression. Au sein d'une tumeur, certaines cellules situées à distance des vaisseaux sanguins doivent faire face à un microenvironnement très hypoxique.Ces cellules utilisent la glycolyse pour la production d'énergie créant un gradient de lactate inverse au gradient d'oxygène.Bien que le lactate soit généralement considéré comme un déchet du métabolisme, des recherches menées au laboratoire FATH ont montré qu'il peut également agir comme un substrat qui alimente le métabolisme oxydatif des cellules oxygénées. Dans cette étude, nous montrons que le lactate n'est pas seulement un substrat énergétique mais est également un médiateur de l'agressivité tumorale.Plus précisément, nous décrivons que le lactate favorise la migration des cellules tu morales et stimule l'expression d'acteurs clés de l 'invasivité tumorale, tel que la MMP2 et l'ezrin.Une corrélation entre taux de lactate et angiogenèse a également pu être établie en comparant le profil vasculaire de tumeurs oxydatives et glycolytiques. Ces découvertes établissent pour le lactate, un rôle de médiateur de certaines voies signalétiques favorables à la progression du cancer.

Abstract

It has been predicted that nearly half of all human proteins are glycosylated indicating the significance of glycoproteins in human health and disease. For example, the glycans attached to proteins have emerged as important biomarkers in the diagnosis of diseases such as cancers and play a significant role in how pathogenic viruses gain entry into human cells. The study of glycoproteins has now become a truly proteomic science. In the last few years, technology developments including in silico methods, high throughput separation and detection techniques have accelerated the characterization of glycoproteins in cells and tissues. Glyco-engineering coupled to rapid recombinant protein production has facilitated the determination of glycoprotein structures key to exploring and exploiting their functional roles. Each chapter in this volume is written by experts in the field and together provide a review of the state of the art in the emerging field of glycoproteomics.

Abstract

Animal cell technology is a growing discipline of cell biology which aims not only to understand the structure, function and behavior of differentiated animal cells, but also to ascertain their ability to be used for industrial and medical purposes. Some of the major goals of animal cell technology include: the clonal expansion of differentiated cells, the optimization of their culture conditions, modulation of their ability for the production of medically and pharmaceutically important proteins and the application of animal cells to gene therapy, artificial organs and functional foods. This volume gives the readers a complete review of the present state-of-the-art research in Japan and other countries where this field is well advanced. The Proceedings will be useful to cell biologists, biochemists, molecular biologists, immunologists, biochemical engineers and to those working in either academic environments or in the biotechnology and pharmacy industries related to animal cell culture.
