Abstract

In this issue of Cancer Cell, Ogiwara et al. describe a novel link between the epigenetic regulator ARID1A and glutathione metabolism in cancer that is mediated by regulation of the cystine/glutamate transporter XCT. This work reveals that synthesis of reduced glutathione is a metabolic dependency of cancers with ARID1A-inactivating mutations.<br /> (Copyright © 2019 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.)
