Metabolic reprogramming and epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition in cancer

M Sciacovelli, C Frezza - The FEBS journal, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Several lines of evidence indicate that during transformation epithelial cancer cells can acquire
mesenchymal features via a process called epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition ( EMT )…

[HTML][HTML] Signal transduction to the permeability transition pore

A Rasola, M Sciacovelli, B Pantic, P Bernardi - FEBS letters, 2010 - Elsevier
The permeability transition pore (PTP) is an inner mitochondrial membrane channel that has
been thoroughly characterized functionally, yet remains an elusive molecular entity. The …

[HTML][HTML] Oncometabolites: Unconventional triggers of oncogenic signalling cascades

M Sciacovelli, C Frezza - Free Radical Biology and Medicine, 2016 - Elsevier
Cancer is a complex and heterogeneous disease thought to be caused by multiple genetic
lesions. The recent finding that enzymes of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle are mutated in …

Fumarate is an epigenetic modifier that elicits epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition

M Sciacovelli, E Gonçalves, TI Johnson, VR Zecchini… - Nature, 2016 - nature.com
Mutations of the tricarboxylic acid cycle enzyme fumarate hydratase cause hereditary
leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer 1 . Fumarate hydratase-deficient renal cancers are highly …

[PDF][PDF] The mitochondrial chaperone TRAP1 promotes neoplastic growth by inhibiting succinate dehydrogenase

M Sciacovelli, G Guzzo, V Morello, C Frezza, L Zheng… - Cell metabolism, 2013 - cell.com
We report that the mitochondrial chaperone TRAP1, which is induced in most tumor types, is
required for neoplastic growth and confers transforming potential to noncancerous cells. …

[HTML][HTML] Fumarate induces redox-dependent senescence by modifying glutathione metabolism

…, L Jerby, ED MacKenzie, M Sciacovelli… - Nature …, 2015 - nature.com
Mutations in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle enzyme fumarate hydratase (FH) are associated
with a highly malignant form of renal cancer. We combined analytical chemistry and …

Activation of mitochondrial ERK protects cancer cells from death through inhibition of the permeability transition

A Rasola, M Sciacovelli, F Chiara… - Proceedings of the …, 2010 - National Acad Sciences
We studied human cancer cell models in which we detected constitutive activation of ERK. A
fraction of active ERK was found to be located in mitochondria in RWPE-2 cells, obtained by …

GR Clark, M Sciacovelli, E Gaude… - The Journal of …, 2014 - academic.oup.com
Context: At least a third of the patients with pheochromocytoma (PCC) or paraganglioma (PGL)
harbor an underlying germline mutation in a known PCC/PGL gene. Mutations in genes (…

Causal integration of multi‐omics data with prior knowledge to generate mechanistic hypotheses

A Dugourd, C Kuppe, M Sciacovelli… - Molecular Systems …, 2021 - embopress.org
… Isolation width was set at 0.8 m/z and a fixed first mass of 100 m/z was used. Normalized
collision energy was set at 33%. Peptide match was set to off, and isotope exclusion was on. …

The metabolic alterations of cancer cells

M Sciacovelli, E Gaude, M Hilvo, C Frezza - Methods in enzymology, 2014 - Elsevier
Cancer cells exhibit profound metabolic alterations, allowing them to fulfill the metabolic
needs that come with increased proliferation and additional facets of malignancy. Such a …
