Article Abstract
This study explores the role of the transcription factor FOXM1 in the initiation and progression of oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Our findings reveal that FOXM1 is highly expressed in ESCC and correlates with the prognosis of the disease. The relationship between FOXM1 and asparagine synthetase (ASNS) is investigated, and the study demonstrates that FOXM1 activates ASNS, impacting the tumour stemness of ESCC. In this study, we reveal the association between FOXM1 and ESCC development, as well as FOXM1's promotion of migration and proliferation in ESCC cells. The study also highlights FOXM1's regulation of ASNS transcription and the functional role of ASNS in ESCC metastasis and growth. Furthermore, the study explores the impact of FOXM1 and ASNS on ESCC stemness and their potential implications for chemotherapy resistance.

Asparaginase and Autophagy Inhibitors Effectively Remove Senescent Cells by Synergistically Limiting Asparagine Supply.

The accumulation of senescent cells (SNCs) contributes to tissue dysfunction and age-related diseases, creating an urgent need for effective senolytic strategies. We identified a metabolic vulnerability in SNCs characterized by marked downregulation of asparagine synthetase (ASNS), rendering them uniquely dependent on exogenous asparagine (Asn). This vulnerability was exploited through combined treatment with L-asparaginase (ASNase) and autophagy inhibitors, which synergistically deplete Asn via complementary mechanisms: ASNase degrades extracellular Asn pools, while autophagy inhibition blocks intracellular protein recycling as an alternative Asn source.

High levels of asparagine synthetase (ASNS) in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) lead to immunotherapy resistance. Our study showed that ASNS overexpression (OE) in NALM6-GL cancer cells attenuated chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell-mediated cancer cell lysis. Asparaginase (ASPG) is an approved drug that breaks down circulating asparagine in leukemia cells, thereby depriving cancer cells of asparagine and inhibiting cancer growth.

Glutamine addiction represents a metabolic vulnerability in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), making glutaminase inhibitor CB-839 therapy a promising approach. However, effective therapeutic strategies are not yet available. In this study, we aim to investigate the potential role of asparagine synthetase (ASNS) as a target for HCC therapy during CB-839 treatment.

Chinese perch (), an economically important freshwater fish in China, faces ammonia nitrogen stress under high-density aquaculture. This study investigated chronic ammonia nitrogen exposure effects on juvenile fish (95 ± 5 g) to establish safe concentration. Acute toxicity tests revealed a 96 h-LC of 12.
