De novo pyrimidine synthesis is a targetable vulnerability in IDH mutant glioma

199 views | Sep 01 2023

The discovery of the hypersensitivity of IDH1-mutant glioma cells to DHODH inhibitors presents a promising, biomarker-guided therapeutic strategy for the treatment of aggressive glioma. [Read the Full Post]

Pharmacological inhibition of serine synthesis enhances temozolomide efficacy by decreasing O6-methylguanine DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) expression and reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated DNA damage in glioblastoma

78 views | Aug 15 2023

The study found that the selective inhibitor NCT503, when combined with temozolomide (TMZ), demonstrated synergistic effects in inhibiting glioblastoma cell growth and inducing apoptosis, potentially offering a promising treatment strategy for MGMT-high glioblastoma patients. [Read the Full Post]

Dichloroacetic acid and rapamycin synergistically inhibit tumor progression

502 views | Aug 15 2023

Rapamycin treatment leads to the inactivation of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDHc) through mTOR signaling inhibition, reducing cancer cells' response to rapamycin, while reactivating PDHc with dichloroacetic acid (DCA) enhances their susceptibility to rapamycin treatment.
