Electron transport inhibition increases cellular dependence on purine transport and salvage

Z. Wu, D. Bezwada, R. C. Harris, C. Pan, P. T. Nguyen, B. Faubert, L. Cai, F. Cai, H. S. Vu, H. Chen, M. Martin-Sandoval, D. Do, W. Gu, Y. Zhang, B. Ko, , R. J. DeBerardinis

This study shows that ETC inhibition in cancer cells increases reliance on purine salvage and transport, revealing a metabolic vulnerability in tumors with low oxidative metabolism.
