In Nrf2-activated tumors, G6pd inhibition depletes TCA intermediates and suppresses tumor growth.

The enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) is a major contributor to NADPH production and redox homeostasis its expression upregulated correlated with negative patient outcomes in multiple human cancer types. Despite these associations, whether G6PD essential for tumor initiation, growth, or metastasis remains unclear. Here, we employ modern genetic tools evaluate the role of lung, breast, colon driven by oncogenic K-Ras. Human HCT116 colorectal cells lacking exhibited metabolic...

Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) has transformed cancer treatment, but success rates remain low in most cancers. Recent research suggest that dietary fiber enhances ICB response melanoma patients and murine preclinical models through microbiome-dependent mechanisms. Yet, the robustness of this effect across types contexts remains unclear. Specifically, prior literature compared grain-based chow (high fiber) to low-fiber purified diet, these diets differ also on other dimensions including...
