Combined Short-Term Glucose Starvation and Chemotherapy in 3D Colorectal Cancer Cell Culture Decreases 14-3-3 Family Protein Expression and Phenotypic Response to Therapy.

Abstract excerpt

Short-term glucose starvation prior to chemotherapy has the potential to preferentially weaken cancer cells, making them more likely to succumb to treatment, while protecting normal cells. In this study, we used 3D cell cultures of colorectal cancer and assessed the effects of short-term glucose starvation and chemotherapy compared to treatment of either individually. We evaluated both phenotypic changes and...
