Induced-fit Model

88.9K
Most chemical reactions in cells require enzymes—biological catalysts that speed up the reaction without being consumed or permanently changed. They reduce the activation energy needed to convert the reactants into products. Enzymes are proteins, that usually work by binding to a substrate—a reactant molecule that they act upon.
Enzymes exhibit substrate specificity, meaning that they can only bind to certain substrates. This is mainly determined by the shape and chemical...

Mechanisms of Retrovirus-induced Cancers

6.9K
Retroviruses are RNA viruses that have been shown to cause cancers in diverse species, including chickens, mice, cats, and monkeys. The RNA genomes of these viruses are first reverse-transcribed into single and then double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) copies. This dsDNA called proviral DNA then integrates into the host genome. Subsequently, the host cell transcribes the proviral DNA in concert with the chromosomal DNA. This leads to the production of viral RNA and proteins that assemble at the host...

Mouse Models of Cancer Study

6.4K
Mice have long served as models for studying human biology and pathology because of their phylogenetic and physiological similarity with humans. They are also easy to maintain and breed in the laboratory, and hence, many inbred strains are now available for research. Studies on mice have contributed immeasurably to our understanding of cancer biology.
The development of transgenic, knockout, and knock-in mice has led to an exponential increase in their use as model organisms in research,...

Cancer

53.6K
Cancers arise due to mutations in genes involved in the regulation of cell division, which leads to unrestricted cell proliferation. Modern science and medicine have made great strides in the understanding and treatment of cancer, including eradicating cancer in some patients. However, there is still no cure for cancer. This is largely due to the fact that cancer is a large group of many diseases.

What is Cancer?

14.0K
Cells and tissues must meticulously coordinate their activities for the normal functioning of the human body. Therefore, they exhibit socially responsible behavior - resting, growing, dividing, differentiating, or dying - for the organism’s benefit. Cancer arises when cells divide uncontrollably and invade other tissues or organs.
Although people have known about cancer for centuries, it was only in 1761 that Giovanni Morgagni of Padua performed a detailed autopsy of...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Physiology
  • Translational Medicine

Background:

  • Cachexia is a wasting syndrome with significant skeletal muscle loss, increasing cancer morbidity and mortality.
  • Current animal models inadequately replicate human cancer-induced tissue wasting, hindering clinical translation.
  • Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) frequently presents with cachexia.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To engineer a novel mouse model of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) that accurately recapitulates cancer cachexia.
  • To provide a resource for studying the mechanisms of cancer cachexia and developing effective treatments.

Main Methods:

  • Engineered a KPP mouse model for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
  • Monitored skeletal and adipose mass changes in KPP mice.
  • Analyzed gene ontology in KPP muscles.

Main Results:

  • KPP mice exhibit progressive skeletal and adipose mass loss, mirroring PDA patients.
  • The KPP model demonstrates similar muscle gene ontology to cachectic patients.
  • The model effectively replicates key features of human cancer cachexia.

Conclusions:

  • The KPP mouse model serves as a valuable tool for cancer cachexia research.
  • This model will advance mechanistic understanding of cancer cachexia.
  • The KPP model is expected to facilitate the development of novel therapeutic strategies for cancer cachexia.
