Anesthetic management of patients with carnitine deficiency or a defect of the fatty acid β-oxidation pathway A narrative review

Ho Kyung Yu et al.

Summary: This review discusses the anesthetic management of patients with compromised fatty acid beta-oxidation due to carnitine deficiency and defects in the fatty acid beta-oxidation pathway during various surgeries. Pre-anesthetic and intraoperative evaluation should include monitoring of glucose and carnitine levels, as well as specific cardiac tests. In these patients, propofol infusion containing long-chain fatty acids should be avoided, while anesthesia using opioids, midazolam, dexmedetomidine, etomidate, and non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents would be appropriate.

Emerging Roles for Mammalian Target of Rapamycin (mTOR) Complexes in Bladder Cancer Progression and Therapy

Jianya Huan et al.

Summary: The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway plays a crucial role in cell growth and metabolism. Dysregulation of this pathway can promote cancer growth and progression. Approximately 70% of bladder cancer (UC) cases show abnormal mTOR activity, indicating its key role in this cancer. This review highlights the importance of mTOR signaling in UC and its potential implications for future therapy. Despite extensive research on molecular alterations of the mTOR pathway in bladder cancer, there has been limited success in mTOR-targeted therapy. Further understanding of the signaling convergence onto mTOR complexes in bladder cancer may provide valuable insights for the treatment of this aggressive disease.

Chemoprevention of Urothelial Cell Carcinoma Tumorigenesis by Dietary Flavokawain A in UPII-Mutant Ha-ras Transgenic Mice

Zhongbo Liu et al.

Summary: The study suggests that flavokawain A (FKA), derived from the kava plant, can target the in vivo activated Ha-ras pathway for prevention and treatment of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). FKA treatment improved the disease by reducing bladder weight, decreasing tumor burden, and reducing the incidence of complications. Furthermore, FKA inhibited cell proliferation and induced apoptosis.

PI3K drives the de novo synthesis of coenzyme A from vitamin B5

Christian C. Dibble et al.

Summary: In response to hormones and growth factors, the PI3K signalling network plays a crucial role in regulating metabolism and growth by controlling cellular nutrient uptake, energy generation, cofactor production, and macromolecule biosynthesis. This study reveals that PI3K signalling stimulates the de novo synthesis of coenzyme A (CoA), a key metabolic cofactor, and identifies PANK2 and PANK4 as substrates of the PI3K effector kinase AKT. Furthermore, the study shows that PANK4 acts as a suppressor of CoA synthesis and phosphorylation by AKT relieves this suppression. Ultimately, the PI3K-PANK4 axis regulates important processes such as lipid metabolism and proliferation by controlling the abundance of acetyl-CoA and other acyl-CoAs.
