Synthetic lethality by targeting the RUVBL1/2-TTT complex in mTORC1-hyperactive cancer cells
31 Jul 2020
Abstract excerpt
Despite considerable efforts, mTOR inhibitors have produced limited success in the clinic. To define the vulnerabilities of mTORC1-addicted cancer cells and to find previously unknown therapeutic targets, we investigated the mechanism of piperlongumine, a small molecule identified in a chemical library screen to specifically target cancer cells with a hyperactive mTORC1 phenotype. Sensitivity to piperlongumine...
