Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutations produce high levels of the 'oncometabolite' R-2-hydroxyglutarate (R-2-HG) and play a key role in the initiation and progression of glioma tumors in the brain. A recent study in Nature Cancer by Friedrich et al. describes how IDH-mutant-derived R-2-HG elicits an immunosuppressive phenotype in glioma-associated macrophages. As such, the authors uncovered a new vulnerability that can be exploited for therapy.
异柠檬酸脱氢酶(IDH)突变会产生高水平的“致癌代谢物”R-2-羟戊二酸(R-2-HG),并在脑胶质瘤肿瘤的发生和发展中起关键作用。弗里德里希等人在《自然癌症》杂志上的一项最新研究描述了 IDH 突变衍生的 R-2-HG 如何在胶质瘤相关巨噬细胞中引发免疫抑制表型。因此,作者揭示了一种新的脆弱性,可用于治疗。
