Mutations in cancer reprogram amino acid metabolism to drive tumor growth, but the molecular mechanisms are not well understood. Using an unbiased proteomic screen, we identified mTORC2 as a critical regulator of amino acid metabolism in cancer via phosphorylation of the cystine-glutamate antiporter...

Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is the etiological agent of primary effusion lymphoma (PEL), a rapidly progressing malignancy mostly arising in HIV-infected patients. Even under conventional chemotherapy, PEL continues to portend nearly 100% mortality within several months, which ur...

Inhibition of xCT Suppresses Melanoma progress
Objectives: Epileptogenesis in human glioma is linked to increased glutamate signaling that is primarily facilitated by xCT, suggesting it as a pharmacological target for anti-seizure medication (ASM). Here, we investigated the expression of xCT in glioma-associated epilepsy and investigated the imp...

Microvirga tunisiensis strain:XCT-34 Genome sequencing
Tumor cells increase glutamate release through the cystine/glutamate transporter xCT to balance oxidative homeostasis in tumor cells and promote tumor progression. Here, we demonstrated that although inhibition of xCT either by pharmacological inhibitor (sulfasalazine, SAS), approved by FDA for infl...

The Deubiquitylase USP52 Regulates Cell Proliferation and Ferroptosis through Stabilizing SLC7A11/xCT in Bladder Cancer
XCT was originally identified due to the short circadian period observed in plants mutant for this gene. Proteins with homology to XCT are found across eukaryotes, but their molecular function is unknown. We have recently demonstrated that in Schizosaccharomyces pombe, the XCT ortholog Xap5 is a chr...

We demonstrate that stress differentially regulates glutamate homeostasis in the dorsal and ventral hippocampus and established a previously unknown role for the glial marker xCT in the homeostatic regulation of the ventral dentate gyrus (vDG) in stress resilience and antidepressant responses. We pr...

Ferroptosis, a recently coined non-apoptotic form of cell death, is triggered by lethal accumulation of iron-dependent lipid peroxidation. SLC7A11/xCT, acts as a central hub in ferroptosis, is closely related to the development of multiple human diseases. However, the specific functions and potentia...
