Cytidine deaminase-dependent mitochondrial biogenesis as a potential vulnerability in pancreatic cancer cells
30 Aug 2024
Abstract excerpt
Cytidine deaminase (CDA) converts cytidine and deoxycytidine into uridine and deoxyuridine as part of the pyrimidine salvage pathway. Elevated levels of CDA are found in pancreatic tumors and associated with chemoresistance. Recent evidence suggests that CDA has additional functions in cancer cell biology. In this work, we uncover a novel role of CDA in pancreatic cancer cell metabolism. CDA silencing impairs...
