MYC oncogene overexpression drives renal cell carcinoma in a mouse model through glutamine metabolism
Open accessAbstract
Significance: The absence of appropriate transgenic animal models of renal cell carcinomas (RCCs) has made it difficult to identify and test new therapies for this disease. We developed a new transgenic mouse model of a highly aggressive form of RCC in which tumor growth and regression is conditionally regulated by the MYC oncogene. Using desorption electrospray ionization–mass-spectrometric imaging, we found that certain glycerophosphoglycerols and metabolites of the glutaminolytic pathway were higher in abundance in RCC than in normal kidney tissue. Up-regulation of glutaminolytic genes and proteins was identified by genetic analysis and immunohistochemistry, therefore suggesting that RCC tumors are glutamine addicted. Pharmacological inhibition of glutaminase slowed tumor progression in vivo, which may represent a novel therapeutic route for RCC.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
