SAMHD1 limits the efficacy of forodesine in leukaemia by protecting cells against cytotoxicity of dGTP
2020-02-17
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> The anti-leukaemia agent forodesine causes cytotoxic overload of intracellular deoxyguanosine triphosphate (dGTP) but is efficacious only in a subset of patients. We report that SAMHD1, a phosphohydrolase degrading deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs), protected cells against the effects of dNTP imbalances. SAMHD1-deficient cells induced intrinsic apoptosis upon provision of deoxyribonucleos...
