Deskripsi
Prostate cancer often develops resistance to androgen receptor (AR) targeting drugs. Here, the authors show that, under conditions of hypoxia, AR inhibition via enzalutamide increases the expression of the glycolytic enzyme phosphoglucose isomerase (GPI) promoting a metabolic rewiring that allows the cells to survive, and consistent GPI inhibition restores sensitivity to enzalutamide.
