The role of glutamine/Nrf2-enhanced PHGDH in Cadmium-induced lactate utilization. (PubMed, Free Radic Biol Med)
Moreover, inhibition of Nrf2 with ML385 attenuated Cd-induced glutamine metabolism, PHGDH, MCT1, lactate production, and cell migration, while activation of Nrf2 with RTA-408 had the opposite effect...Collectively, these findings suggest that PHGDH plays a crucial role in Cd-induced lactate utilization, and the mechanism underlies the interaction between glutamine and Nrf2. This study provides insights into the mechanism of Cd-related tumorigenesis and toxicity.
