Inhibition of the Histone Demethylase LSD1 Combined with Caloric Restriction or IGF1/Insulin Inhibition Leads to Durable Responses in a Preclinical Model of Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Abstract:Introduction. There is increasing interest in therapeutic modulation of metabolic pathways in cancer. Tumor cells preferentially use aerobic glycolysis to meet their energetic demands. However, glycolysis inhibition alone is unable to bring durable responses because of limited therapeutic index and because of previously underappreciated metabolic adaptability in tumor cells, which can switch to alternative substrate usage when specific nutrients are limiting. The molecular basis of metabolic adaptation is poor… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
