PYCR1-dependent proline synthesis in cancer-associated fibroblasts is required for the deposition of pro-tumorigenic extracellular matrix
2020-05-31
Abstract excerpt
TElevated production of collagen-rich extracellular matrix (ECM) is a hallmark of cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs) and a central driver of cancer aggressiveness. How to target ECM production to oppose cancer is yet unclear, since targeting CAFs has been shown to restrain but also promote cancer progression. Metabolic rewiring is a hallmark of CAFs. Here we find that proline, which is a highly abundant amino ac...
