The limitless applications of single-cell metabolomics. Curr Opin Biotechnol 2021; 71:115-122. [PMID: 34339935 DOI: 10.1016/j.copbio.2021.07.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 37] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2021] [Revised: 07/08/2021] [Accepted: 07/11/2021] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
Single-cell metabolomics (SCM) is currently one of the most powerful tools for performing high-throughput metabolic analysis at the cellular level. The power of single-cell metabolomics to determine the metabolic profiles of individual cells makes it very suitable for decoding cell heterogeneity. SCM bears great potential in cell type identification and differentiation within cell colonies. With the development of various equipment and techniques, SCM analysis has become possible for a wide range of biological samples. Many fields have incorporated this cutting-edge analytic tool to generate fruitful findings. This review article pays close attention to the prevalent techniques utilized in SCM and the exciting new findings and applications developed by studies in phytology, neurology, and oncology using SCM.

Pre-clinical investigation of STAT3 pathway in bladder cancer: Paving the way for clinical translation. Biomed Pharmacother 2020; 133:111077. [PMID: 33378975 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2020.111077] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2020] [Revised: 11/24/2020] [Accepted: 11/27/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Effective cancer therapy requires identification of signaling networks and investigating their potential role in proliferation and invasion of cancer cells. Among molecular pathways, signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) has been of importance due to its involvement in promoting proliferation, and invasion of cancer cells, and mediating chemoresistance. In the present review, our aim is to reveal role of STAT3 pathway in bladder cancer (BC), as one of the leading causes of death worldwide. In respect to its tumor-promoting role, STAT3 is able to enhance the growth of BC cells via inhibiting apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. STAT3 also contributes to metastasis of BC cells via upregulating of MMP-2 and MMP-9 as well as genes in the EMT pathway. BC cells obtain chemoresistance via STAT3 overexpression and its inhibition paves the way for increasing efficacy of chemotherapy. Different molecular pathways such as KMT1A, EZH2, DAB2IP and non-coding RNAs including microRNAs and long non-coding RNAs can function as upstream mediators of STAT3 that are discussed in this review article.
