Thyrotropin [thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)] receptor on-off signaling was studied in polarized monolayers of pig thyrocytes cultured on permeable support. Transepithelial resistance (R) and potential difference (PD) were used as parameters to monitor the effect of altered TSH concentrations on vectorial electrolyte transport. TSH induced rapid but long-lasting changes in R (decrease) and PD (increase) that were cAMP-dependent and related to enhanced transcellular conductance of sodium and chloride. Withdrawal of TSH from cultures prestimulated with TSH (0.1 mU/ml) for 48 h resulted in restitution of R to control level within 30 min. Such deactivation was markedly accelerated by mild trypsinization, which degraded receptor-bound ligand without affecting TSH receptor responsiveness or ion transporting capacity. Small alterations in the TSH concentration (0.01–0.1 mU/ml) were followed almost instantaneously by adjustments of R. In contrast, the reversal of R after acute TSH stimulation (30 min) and subsequent TSH washout was delayed for several hours independently of cell surface trypsinization. The observations indicate that, during continuous exposure to physiological concentrations, TSH exerts a close minute-to-minute surveillance of thyroid function and the rate-limiting step of deactivation is the dissociation of ligand from the TSH receptor at the cell surface. TSH-deprived cells briefly exposed to TSH are refractory to rapid deactivation, probably because of altered metabolism downstream of TSH receptor signal transduction.

Novel subcellular fractionation procedures and pulse-chase techniques were used to study the intracellular transport of the microvillar membrane hydrolases sucrase-isomaltase and dipeptidylpeptidase IV in the differentiated colon adenocarcinoma cell line Caco-2. The overall rate of transport to the cell surface was two fold faster for dipeptidylpeptidase IV than for sucrase-isomaltase, while no significant differences were observed in transport rates from the site of complex glycosylation to the brush border. The delayed arrival of sucrase-isomaltase in the compartment where complex glycosylation occurs was only in part due to exit from the endoplasmic reticulum. A major slow-down could be ascribed to maturation in and transit of this enzyme through the Golgi apparatus. These results suggest that the observed asynchronism is due to more than one rate-limiting step along the rough endoplasmic reticulum to trans-Golgi pathway.

Exemplified by cancer cells’ preference for glycolysis, for example, the Warburg effect, altered metabolism in tumorigenesis has emerged as an important aspect of cancer in the past 10–20 years. Whether due to changes in regulatory tumor suppressors/oncogenes or by acting as metabolic oncogenes themselves, enzymes involved in the complex network of metabolic pathways are being studied to understand their role and assess their utility as therapeutic targets. Conversion of glycolytic intermediate 3-phosphoglycerate into phosphohydroxypyruvate by the enzyme phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PHGDH)—a rate-limiting step in the conversion of 3-phosphoglycerate to serine—represents one such mechanism. Forgotten since classic animal studies in the 1980s, the role of PHGDH as a potential therapeutic target and putative metabolic oncogene has recently reemerged following publication of two prominent papers near-simultaneously in 2011. Since that time, numerous studies and a host of metabolic explanations have been put forward in an attempt to understand the results observed. In this paper, I review the historic progression of our understanding of the role of PHGDH in cancer from the early work by Snell through its reemergence and rise to prominence, culminating in an assessment of subsequent work and what it means for the future of PHGDH.

SummaryOrnithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity, the rate-limiting step in the synthesis of polyamines, can be demonstrated in cultured, bovine, aortic endothelial cells (EC). Serum, serotonin and thrombin produce a rise in ODC activity. The serotonin-induced ODC activity is significantly blocked by imipramine (10-5 M) or Lilly 11 0140 (10-6M). Preincubation of EC with these blockers together almost completely depresses the 5-HT-stimulated ODC activity. These observations suggest a manner by which platelets may maintain EC structural and metabolic soundness.

A catalytic system comprised of a cobalt-diphosphine complex and a Lewis acid (LA) such as AlMe3 has been found to promote hydrocarbofunctionalization reactions of alkynes with Lewis basic and electron-deficient substrates such as formamides, pyridones, pyridines, and azole derivatives through site-selective C-H activation. Compared with known Ni/LA catalytic system for analogous transformations, the present catalytic system not only feature convenient set up using inexpensive and bench-stable precatalyst and ligand such as Co(acac)3 and 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane (dppp), but also display distinct site-selectivity toward C-H activation of pyridone and pyridine derivatives. In particular, a completely C4-selective alkenylation of pyridine has been achieved for the first time. Mechanistic stidies including DFT calculations on the Co/Al-catalyzed addition of formamide to alkyne have suggested that the reaction involves cleavage of the carbamoyl C-H bond as the rate-limiting step, which proceeds through a ligand-to-ligand hydrogen transfer (LLHT) mechanism leading to an alkyl(carbamoyl)cobalt intermediate.
