2-Deoxy-D-Glucose inhibits aggressive triple-negative breast cancer cells by targeting glycolysis and the cancer stem cell phenotype
7 Mar 2019
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Due to limited availability of pharmacological therapies, triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the subtype with worst outcome. We hypothesised that 2-Deoxy-D-Glucose (2-DG), a glucose analogue, may hold potential as a therapy for particularly aggressive TNBC. We investigated 2-DG’s effects on TNBC cell line variants, Hs578T parental cells and their isogenic more aggressive Hs578Ts(i)8 variant, using...
