Jessie Guo: G6PD is essential for KL but not KP lung tumorigenesis

Jessie Guo, Associate Professor at Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey, shared on X:

“Check out our new publication in Nature Communications. Our studies found that G6PD is essential for KL but not KP lung tumorigenesis. Thus, targeting G6PD could be a potential therapeutic strategy for tumors with KRAS and LKB1 co-mutations.

‘Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase maintains redox homeostasis and biosynthesis in LKB1-deficient KRAS-driven lung cancer’
