Blockade of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase induces immunogenic cell death and accelerates immunotherapy

Background Enhanced glucose metabolism has been reported in many cancers. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) is a rate-limiting enzyme involved in the pentose phosphate pathway, which maintains NADPH levels and protects cells from oxidative damage. We recently found that low G6PD expression co...
