Targeting the lncRNA SAMMSON Reveals Metabolic Vulnerability in Melanoma.

Abstract:

:In a recent study, Leucci et al. report a role for the long non-coding RNA SAMMSON in driving mitochondrial function in melanoma. Targeting SAMMSON, the gene of which is frequently co-amplified with MITF, highlights a new cell-type-specific therapeutic vulnerability in melanoma irrespective of BRAF, NRAS, or p53 status.

  • Unique Metabolic Adaptations Dictate Distal Organ-Specific Metastatic Colonization.

    abstract::Metastases arising from tumors have the proclivity to colonize specific organs, suggesting that they must rewire their biology to meet the demands of the organ colonized, thus altering their primary properties. Each metastatic site presents distinct metabolic challenges to a colonizing cancer cell, ranging from fuel a...
