19 p, 13.4 MB Germline BRCA1 mutation reprograms breast epithelial cell metabolism towards mitochondrial-dependent biosynthesis : evidence for metformin-based "starvation" strategies in BRCA1 carriers / Cuyàs, Elisabet (Institut d'Investigació Biomèdica de Girona) ; Fernández-Arroyo, Salvador (Hospital Universitari Sant Joan de Reus (Tarragona)) ; Alarcón Cor, Tomás (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament de Matemàtiques) ; Joven, Jorge (Hospital Universitari Sant Joan de Reus (Tarragona)) ; Menendez, Javier A. (Institut d'Investigació Biomèdica de Girona)
We hypothesized that women inheriting one germline mutation of the BRCA1 gene ("one-hit") undergo cell-type-specific metabolic reprogramming that supports the high biosynthetic requirements of breast epithelial cells to progress to a fully malignant phenotype. [...]

13 p, 3.9 MB Accelerated geroncogenesis in hereditary breast-ovarian cancer syndrome / Menendez, Javier A. (Institut d'Investigació Biomèdica de Girona) ; Folguera Blasco, Núria (Centre de Recerca Matemàtica) ; Cuyàs, Elisabet (Institut d'Investigació Biomèdica de Girona) ; Fernández-Arroyo, Salvador (Hospital Universitari de Sant Joan) ; Joven, Jorge (Hospital Universitari de Sant Joan) ; Alarcón Cor, Tomás (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament de Matemàtiques)
The geroncogenesis hypothesis postulates that the decline in metabolic cellular health that occurs naturally with aging drives a "field effect" predisposing normal tissues for cancer development. We propose that mutations in the cancer susceptibility genes BRCA1/2 might trigger "accelerated geroncogenesis" in breast and ovarian epithelia. [...]

11 p, 2.4 MB Oncometabolic nuclear reprogramming of cancer stemness / Menendez, Javier A. (Institut Català d'Oncologia) ; Corominas-Faja, Bruna (Institut d'Investigació Biomèdica de Girona) ; Cuyàs, Elisabet (Institut d'Investigació Biomèdica de Girona) ; García, María G. (Instituto Universitario de Oncología del Principado de Asturias) ; Fernández-Arroyo, Salvador (Hospital Universitari de Sant Joan) ; Fernández, Agustín F. (Instituto Universitario de Oncología del Principado de Asturias) ; Joven, Jorge (Hospital Universitari de Sant Joan) ; Fraga, Mario F.. (Instituto Universitario de Oncología del Principado de Asturias) ; Alarcón Cor, Tomás (Centre de Recerca Matemàtica)
By impairing histone demethylation and locking cells into a reprogramming-prone state, oncometabolites can partially mimic the process of induced pluripotent stem cell generation. Using a systems biology approach, combining mathematical modeling, computation, and proof-of-concept studies with live cells, we found that an oncometabolite-driven pathological version of nuclear reprogramming increases the speed and efficiency of dedifferentiating committed epithelial cells into stem-like states with only a minimal core of stemness transcription factors.
