Deskripsi
Complex I inhibition induces oxidative stress leading to cancer cell cytotoxicity. Here, the authors show, in breast cancer models, that inflammatory mediators can potentiate complex I inhibitor phenformin cytotoxicity through STAT1-mediated downregulation of the reactive oxygen species scavenger NQO1.
