Summary: High expression of DLST predicts poor treatment outcome and aggressive disease in neuroblastoma patients. DLST depletion suppresses NADH production and impairs oxidative phosphorylation, leading to growth arrest and apoptosis of neuroblastoma cells. Inhibitors targeting the electron transport chain, such as IACS-010759, efficiently reduce neuroblastoma proliferation and may be a potential therapeutic strategy for this deadly disease.

Summary: This study presents a chemical approach to analyze fatty acid uptake in single cells, which involved using azide-modified analogues and surface-immobilized dendrimers with DBCO groups. By integrating this method into a microfluidics-based multiplex protein analysis platform, the researchers were able to explore the relationships between fatty acid influx, oncogenic signaling activities, and cell proliferation. The study revealed differential correlations between p70S6K and 4EBP1 with fatty acid uptake, and demonstrated synergistic inhibition of cell proliferation through co-targeting p70S6K and fatty acid metabolism. This work provided new insights into cancer biology by studying fatty acid metabolism in the context of protein signaling at single-cell resolution.

Summary: Mitocytosis is a migrasome-mediated mitochondrial quality-control process that helps maintain mitochondrial quality in migrating cells. The process involves positioning damaged mitochondria at the cell periphery, which avoids binding to inward motor proteins. Enhanced mitocytosis protects cells from mitochondrial stressor-induced loss of mitochondrial membrane potential and mitochondrial respiration, while blocking mitocytosis causes loss of these functions under normal conditions. Physiologically, mitocytosis is required for maintaining mitochondrial membrane potential and viability in neutrophils in vivo.
