Abstract excerpt
Patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) are frequently used as preclinical models, but their recapitulation of tumour metabolism in patients has not been closely examined. We developed a parallel workflow to analyse [U-13C]glucose tracing and metabolomics data from patient melanomas and matched PDXs. Melanomas from patients have substantial TCA cycle labelling, similar to levels in human brain tumours. Although levels...
