Folate trapping is lethal to cancer cells

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

Key mitochondrial folate enzyme, methylene tetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase 2 (MTHFD2) plays crucial role in targeting folate cycle in cancer. Formate flux from mitochondria to cytosol cause folate trap-induced toxicity to kill MTHFD2-expressing cancer cell, with the MTHFD1 inhibitor. Metabolomics studies show ambiguity in data analysis if growth media is not chosen properly.

Cancer immunotherapy: GDF-15’s role in Anti-PD-1 resistance

Drug Target Review

The focus of this study is on Growth Differentiation Factor-15 (GDF-15), a cytokine known for its critical role in feto-maternal tolerance, which has now been found to be hijacked by tumours to evade immune attack. We will explore how GDF-15 impacts the tumour microenvironment and hinders the infiltration of T cells into the tumour, as well as the implications of neutralising GDF-15 to reverse its inhibitory effects and sensitise tumours to anti-PD-1 treatment.
