Inhibiting BCKDK in triple negative breast cancer suppresses protein translation, impairs mitochondrial function, and potentiates doxorubicin cytotoxicity

Inhibiting BCKDK in triple negative breast cancer suppresses protein translation, impairs mitochondrial function, and potentiates doxorubicin cytotoxicity

Proposed mechanism. A Doxorubicin (DOX) targets the BCAA catabolic pathway in TNBCs, by downregulating BCKDK and augmenting clearance of intracellular BCKAs. B Genetic or pharmacological (high BT2 concentration) inhibition of BCKDK results in increased cell death, decreased intracellular BCKAs, dysr...
