Power Cut : Inhibiting Mitochondrial Translation to Target Leukemia

Järås, Marcus LU and Ebert, Benjamin L. (2011) In Cancer Cell 20(5). p.555-556
Abstract

In this issue of Cancer Cell, Skrtic et al. demonstrate that inhibition of mitochondrial ribosomes with tigecycline, a known antimicrobial, selectively kills leukemia cells. This finding highlights the metabolic susceptibility of leukemia cells to mitochondrial translational inhibition and identifies a compound with significant efficacy in an in vivo preclinical model.
