BCAT1 inhibition affects CD8 <sup>+</sup> T cell activation, exhaustion, and tumoral immunity by altering iron homeostasis

2023-02-26

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The present study explores the role of the cytosolic branched chain amino acid aminotransferase (BCAT1) in CD8 + T cell activation, in general, and tumor immunity, in particular, and identifies a non-canonical function of the protein in iron homeostasis. Pharmacologic inhibition of BCAT1 using the novel drug ERG245 abrogates the effector functions of CD8 + T cells in vitro and metabolically re...
