De novo purine metabolism is a metabolic vulnerability of cancers with low p16 expression
2023-07-15
Abstract excerpt
p16 is a tumor suppressor encoded by the CDKN2A gene whose expression is lost in ∼50% of all human cancers. In its canonical role, p16 inhibits the G1-S phase cell cycle progression through suppression of cyclin dependent kinases. Interestingly, p16 also has roles in metabolic reprogramming, and we previously published that loss of p16 promotes nucleotide synthesis via the pentose phosphate pathway. Whether other...
