Abstract:
A 10-formyl-THF pathway for producing NADPH is useful in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer and metabolic disease, in the development of new antineoplastic agents and/or regimens, in the development of new methods for measuring metabolic pathway activity, and in the development of new therapeutics for treating metabolic disease.
Abstract:
The present invention provides, in some embodiments, methods of promoting an immune response in a subject in need thereof, comprising administering to a subject a population of immune cells that express an exogenous enzyme that facilitates immune cell function in a nutrient-poor environment. Other embodiments of the invention include methods of promoting an immune response to a tumor in a subject in need thereof, comprising administering to the subject an effective amount of an agent that provides a one-carbon unit (e.g., formate) and an agent that promotes an anti-tumor response, and methods of promoting an immune response to a tumor in a subject in need thereof, comprising administering to a subject an effective amount of an agent that inhibits consumption of metabolic fuels by tumor cells. The invention also provides, in other embodiments, compositions comprising an ex vivo population of immune cells expressing an exogenous enzyme that enhances immune cell function in nutrient poor environments, and compositions comprising a nucleic acid expression construct encoding an inhibitor of glucose metabolism, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates, in various embodiments, to methods of treating various NADH-mediated diseases and disorders in a subject, such as disorders characterized by excess NADH, for example, by inhibiting serine catabolism in the subject.
