Developing liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry strategies for investigating energy metabolism with application to isocitrate dehydrogenase mutations in cancer

Alternative title:
Development and application of methods for qualitative and quantitative analysis of TCA cycle metabolites using liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry
Abstract:

Isocitrate dehydrogenases (IDHs) act in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle to catalyse the conversion of isocitrate to 2-oxoglutarate (2-OG) with concomitant production of NADH and/or NADPH. In humans, mutations causing IDH1 and IDH2 substitutions have been found during DNA sequencing of human glioblastomas. Some cancerassociated IDH mutations promote the reduction of 2-OG to give D-2-hydroxyglutarate (D-2-HG) a chiral, polar dicarboxylic acid.

Investigations on the underlying links be...
