Abstract excerpt
KRAS mutations are prevalent in lung cancer, but KRASG12C inhibitors exhibit limited efficacy, partly due to metabolic adaptations, such as enhanced glutathione (GSH) metabolism and increased glycolysis. Glutathione S-transferase zeta 1 (GSTZ1) is a metabolic enzyme that regulates cell metabolism; however, its role in KRAS-driven lung cancer remains underexplored. We recently reported that targeting GSTZ1...
