BRCA2 loss drives a PKM1-dominant glycolytic state that is selectively lethal to pyruvate kinase activation

Maira Di Tano, Mujmmail Ahmed, Shiri Li, Michael Lyashenko, Neil G. Ruthen, Ethan Tse, Isaac Nathoo, Carolina E. Echeverría, Jack Sanford, A. M. Saleh, Jeshua Kim, Ezequiel Carlos Dantas, Davide Pradella, Rhee Kyu, Ed Reznik, , Marcus DaSilva Goncalves

The paper shows BRCA2 loss leads to a PKM1-dominant glycolytic state that can be targeted with PKM activators to kill HRD tumors.

Intestinal fructose metabolism drives unsaturated fat absorption and synergizes with GLP-1 receptor agonism to promote weight loss

Carolina E. Echeverría, Mujmmail Ahmed, Jonathan Gao, Sarah L Stewart, Isaac Nathoo, Lucas Kniess Debarba, Carlos Lafourcade, Tanvir Ahmed, Odinakhon Shamieva, Tiffany Perrier, Chandana Prakashmurthy, Anthony Escamilla, Philip Moon, Jeshua Kim, Rachel Zwick, , M Goncalves

This study shows that inhibiting fructose metabolism via KHKi reduces weight gain and enhances weight loss when combined with GLP-1 receptor agonism in mice.

JAK1/2 Inhibition Delays Cachexia and Improves Survival through Increased Food Intake

Ezequiel Dantas, Anirudh Murthy, Jeshua Kim, Tanvir Ahmed, Mujmmail Ahmed, Tiffany Perrier, Shakti Ramsamooj, Isaac Nathoo, Lucas Kniess Debarba, André Lima Queiroz, Shiri Li, Baran A. Ersoy, Miriam Ferrer, Ido Goldstein, Jonathan Gao, , Marcus DaSilva Goncalves

This study shows that JAK1/2 inhibition with ruxolitinib improves survival and body weight in lung cancer models by increasing food intake and restoring metabolic function.

Sustained Glucose Turnover Flux Distinguishes Cancer Cachexia from Nutrient Limitation

Young‐Yon Kwon, Yanshan Liang, Maria Gomez-Jenkins, Mujmmail Ahmed, Guangru Jiang, Juliya Hsiang, David Y. Lewis, Tobias Janowitz, Marcus DaSilva Goncalves, Eileen White, Sheng Tony Hui

This study identifies sustained glucose turnover flux as a distinguishing metabolic feature of cancer cachexia compared to nutrient limitation under controlled food intake.
