17. what are the special features of tumor cell metabolism? “The prime cause of cancer is the replacement of the respiration of oxygen... in normal body cells by fermentation of sugar” Otto Warburg 1956 Tumor cells derive nearly all of their fatty acids from de novo synthesis Sidney Weinhouse 1953

18. Craig Thompson, M.D. President, Memorial Sloan-Kettering is glucose-dependent FA synthesis an “achilles heel” of tumor cells?

19. fig 21-10 remember citrate lyase?

26. Do citrate lyase inhibitors block tumor cell growth?

28. A new metabolic pathway in cancer?

29. ~ 80% of gliomas have a mutation in IDH1 cytoplasmic version of IDH, uses NADP + mutation is always in R132, mostly R132H always heterozygous… why?

30. A new metabolic pathway in cancer?

31. metabolic profiling (metabolomics) revealed an abundance of 2-hydroxyglutarate… ??? could this be a product of the mutant IDH?

32. A new metabolic pathway in cancer? mutant

33. A new metabolic pathway in cancer! How does production of 2OH-glutarate benefit the glioma cancer cell?

34. programmed cell death: apoptosis a dedicated signaling pathway for killing cells in MCOs apoptotic death has clear characteristics employed in development and in both intra- and inter cellular surveillance main player...

35. The mitochondrion! one way that apoptosis is activated is by the regulated release of cytochrome c!

36. The mitochondrion! one way that apoptosis is activated is by the regulated release of cytochrome c!

38. difficulties in being a long-lived MCO quantityquality

39. difficulties in being a long-lived MCO canceraging

40. difficulties in being a long-lived MCO in adult organisms (like us) many cells must live for the entire lifetime without replacement all organisms have finite lifespans

41. old and young yeast

42. old and young C. elegans 1 day old13 days old

43. old and young people

44. The Search for The Fountain of Youth Ponce de Leon

45. the only known mammalian longevity enhancer...

46. caloric restriction (CR) 30-40% balanced decrease 30% or more increase in longevity yeast, rotifers, flies, worms, fish, spiders mice, rats, birds the only known mammalian longevity enhancer...

47. Okinawan centenarians analysis how about in CR in humans or primates?

48. One controlled human study Okinawan centenarians analysis

49. Biosphere 2 how about in CR in humans or primates? One controlled human study Okinawan centenarians analysis

50. Biosphere 2

51. Biosphere II NIH rhesus monkey study how about in CR in humans or primates? One controlled human study Okinawan centenarians analysis

52. how does CR make things live longer? oxidative stress hypothesis O2O2 O2O2 respiratory leak of electrons to oxygen produces damage-causing ROS

53. ROS: reactive oxygen species highly reactive molecules produced from capture of electrons by O 2 O2O2 O2˙-O2˙- +e-e- superoxide anion others: H2O2H2O2 HO ˙ (NO ˙ )

54. ROS: reactive oxygen species highly reactive molecules produced from capture of electrons by O 2 cause damage to DNAproteinlipids mito ROS possible amplification loop

55. Possible effects of CR on ROS levels Decreased production of ROS altered rate of e flow metabolic adaptations of mitos Increased removal of ROS

56. how does CR make things live longer? correlated with decreased insulin levels and increased insulin sensitivity possible effects of insulin signaling on longevity-associated processes? BUT: many other relevant effects of CR!!

57. are there master “aging” genes? it is easy to imagine that organisms have multiple systems that are each required for maintained life meaning that the genes that determine each system’s function could each be “aging” genes nevertheless...

58. progeria: an accelerated aging syndrome Francis Collins of HGP and NIH 13 year old John Tacket

59. progeria: an accelerated aging syndrome

60. search for genes involved in aging S. cerevisiaeC. elegans

64. aging mutants in C. elegans what genes emerged from this study? DAF2 insulin receptor homologue! recall that insulin signals increased abundance: the opposite of CR

65. aging mutants in C. elegans what genes emerged from this study? Complex I-V respiratory chain! consistent with the idea that mitochondrial activity contributes to aging

66. aging mutants in C. elegans what genes emerged from this study? EAT gens control food intake a genetic version of CR!
