AMPK induces degradation of the transcriptional repressor PROX1 impairing branched amino acid metabolism and tumourigenesis
Energy stress activates AMPK leading to metabolic plasticity and therapy resistance in cancer. Here, the authors show that AMPK activation decreases Prospero-related homeobox 1 (PROX1) levels impairing branched amino acid metabolism and tumourigenesis in liver and lung cancer models.
