| Oxygen consumption rate (OCR) is a measure of the rate at which cells consume oxygen, and it has been found to be altered in cancer cells. Cancer cells often exhibit increased glycolysis, a process in which glucose is converted into energy without the use of oxygen, even in the presence of oxygen. This is known as the Warburg effect. Cancer cells often exhibit increased glycolysis, which leads to a decrease in OCR. -When mitochondrial function is impaired (resulting in lower OCR), cells may compensate by upregulating glycolysis to meet their energy needs (known as the Pasteur effect). -Instruments such as the Seahorse Analyzer allow simultaneous measurement of OCR (reflecting mitochondrial respiration) and Extracellular Acidification Rate (ECAR, which is commonly used as a proxy for glycolysis). This dual measurement helps researchers understand how shifts in one pathway correlate with compensatory changes in the other. |
| Prostate Cancer: Alterations in genes such as ERG, SPOP, MYC, androgen receptor (AR), and CHD1, drive PCa progression. TP53 is the most commonly mutated gene in human cancer. HH↑, GLI-1↑, SHH↑ P53↓ The loss of p53 and/or other tumor suppressor genes, reduced capacity for DNA repair, the dysfunction of telomerase activity, and changes in the pathways that govern the growth of cells also mediate the progression of Pca. It has been well documented that Ca2+ influx and MDR1 upregulation are highly associated with GEM metabolism in human pancreatic carcinoma. Increased Growth factor IGF-1/IGF-1R axis activation mediated by both PI3K/Akt or RAF/MEK/ERK system and AR expression remains important in the development and progression of prostate cancer. It has been demonstrated that prostate cancer cells are relatively sensitive to heat stress. Long non-coding RNA MALAT1 has been reported as an oncogenic target in multiple types of cancers, including PC. |
