Hotspot mutations in IDH1 and IDH2 cause a differentiation block that can promote tumorigenesis. Two recent papers reported that small molecules targeting mutant IDH1 or mutant IDH2 release this differentiation block and/or impede tumor growth, providing a proof-of-concept that mutant IDHs are therapeutically targetable and that their effects are reversible.
IDH1 和 IDH2 热点突变导致分化阻滞,从而促进肿瘤发生。最近有两篇论文报道,靶向突变 IDH1 或突变 IDH2 的小分子可解除这种分化阻滞和/或抑制肿瘤生长,这为突变 IDH 是可治疗的靶点及其作用是可逆的这一观点提供了证据。
