Dissecting self-renewal in stem cells with RNA interference

…, R Lu, I Kotenko, J Levorse, C DeCoste, X Schafer… - Nature, 2006 - nature.com
We present an integrated approach to identify genetic mechanisms that control self-renewal
in mouse embryonic stem cells. We use short hairpin RNA (shRNA) loss-of-function …

[PDF][PDF] Addiction to coupling of the Warburg effect with glutamine catabolism in cancer cells

B Smith, XL Schafer, A Ambeskovic, CM Spencer… - Cell reports, 2016 - cell.com
Metabolic reprogramming is critical to oncogenesis, but the emergence and function of this
profound reorganization remain poorly understood. Here we find that cooperating oncogenic …

[HTML][HTML] Acidic pH is a metabolic switch for 2-hydroxyglutarate generation and signaling

SM Nadtochiy, X Schafer, D Fu, K Nehrke… - Journal of Biological …, 2016 - ASBMB
2-Hydroxyglutarate (2-HG) is an important epigenetic regulator, with potential roles in cancer
and stem cell biology. The d-(R)-enantiomer (d-2-HG) is an oncometabolite generated from …

Human cytomegalovirus induces the activity and expression of acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase, a fatty acid biosynthetic enzyme whose inhibition attenuates viral …

CM Spencer, XL Schafer, NJ Moorman… - Journal of …, 2011 - Am Soc Microbiol
We have previously reported that human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection induces large-scale
changes to host cell glycolytic, nucleic acid, and phospholipid metabolism. Here we …

Inhibition of calmodulin-dependent kinase kinase blocks human cytomegalovirus-induced glycolytic activation and severely attenuates production of viral progeny

J McArdle, XL Schafer, J Munger - Journal of virology, 2011 - Am Soc Microbiol
Viruses depend on the host cell to provide the energy and biomolecular subunits necessary
for production of viral progeny. We have previously reported that human cytomegalovirus (…

The Human Cytomegalovirus UL26 Protein Antagonizes NF-κB Activation

C Mathers, X Schafer, L Martínez-Sobrido… - Journal of …, 2014 - Am Soc Microbiol
Viral infection frequently triggers activation of host innate immune pathways that attempt to
limit viral spread. The NF-κB pathway is a critical component that governs this response. We …

[HTML][HTML] The Human Cytomegalovirus UL38 protein drives mTOR-independent metabolic flux reprogramming by inhibiting TSC2

I Rodríguez-Sánchez, XL Schafer, M Monaghan… - PLoS …, 2019 - journals.plos.org
Human Cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection induces several metabolic activities that are
essential for viral replication. Despite the important role that this metabolic modulation plays …

[HTML][HTML] A combinatorial code for pattern formation in Drosophila oogenesis

N Yakoby, CA Bristow, D Gong, X Schafer, J Lembong… - Developmental cell, 2008 - cell.com
Two-dimensional patterning of the follicular epithelium in Drosophila oogenesis is required
for the formation of three-dimensional eggshell structures. Our analysis of a large number of …

Metabolomic profiling of the heart during acute ischemic preconditioning reveals a role for SIRT1 in rapid cardioprotective metabolic adaptation

SM Nadtochiy, W Urciuoli, J Zhang, X Schafer… - Journal of molecular and …, 2015 - Elsevier
Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) protects tissues such as the heart from prolonged ischemia-reperfusion
(IR) injury. We previously showed that the lysine deacetylase SIRT1 is required …

Human cytomegalovirus induces neuronal enolase to support virally mediated metabolic remodeling

…, I Rodríguez-Sánchez, X Schafer… - Proceedings of the …, 2022 - National Acad Sciences
Viruses depend on cellular metabolic resources to supply the energy and biomolecular building
blocks necessary for their replication. Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), a leading cause …
