Metabolismus sarkosinu a nádorová onemocnění prostaty =: Sarcosine metabolism and prostate cancer disease /
Strmiska, Vladislav
Prostate carcinoma is one of the most frequent cancer diseases of maturated men. Diagnose of this cancer disease is based on level of prostatic specific antigen and digital exam per rectum. However, presence of tumor, grade and stage must be examined by biopsy. This method may not to be accurate. This is the reason why are new diagnostic methods investigated, to increase the accuracy of diagnostic prostate cancer. Amino acid sarcosine is currently on of the most widely discussed biomarker, that can serve as a diagnostic biomarker for early stage detection in prostate cancer. The present work deals with the study of sarcosine metabolism in prostate cancer cell lines, mainly, but also by amino acid metabolism in cells in general. Understanding to importance of single amino acids in malignant and non-malignant cell pathways can significantly contribute to effective targeted therapy without side effect on healthy tissue. Prostate cancer cells in presence of sarcosine increase their migration potential, malignancy by increased doubling time, and concentration of sarcosine N-demethylation enzymes, sarcosine dehydrogenase and sarcosine oxidase. Through this biochemical pathway is increased synthesis of main methylation donor S-adenosilmethyonine (SAM) ad cellular methylation potential.
