✨AI 요약 (Beta)Beta
mTOR 억제제만 쓰면 반응이 금방 사라지잖아요. 이번엔 PIKfyve 라는 지방질 효소를 같이 막으면 리소좀에서 철분을 못 풀어줘서 암세포가 더 스트레스를 받아요. 그래서 두 약을 같이 쓰면 종양이 크게 줄고 생존도 늘어요. 동물 실험에서도 효과가 확실히 보였어요.
mTOR inhibitors (mTORis) are Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved therapies for advanced gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs), yet their clinical efficacy is often limited by transient responses and acquired resistance. To uncover sensitizing co-targets, we conduct a kinome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 screen, identifying the lipid kinase PIKfyve as a key vulnerability in GEP-NETs. PIKfyve is overexpressed and functionally linked to the regulation of lipid biosynthesis through the mTOR-SREBP1 axis. Mechanistically, PIKfyve inhibition impairs lysosome-mediated ferritin degradation, amplifying metabolic stress triggered by mTORi-induced ferritinophagy. Co-inhibition of mTOR and PIKfyve synergistically disrupts lipid and iron metabolism, leading to enhanced tumor suppression and improved survival in preclinical GEP-NET models. These findings nominate PIKfyve as a metabolic co-target to overcome mTORi resistance, offering a rationale for combination therapies in mTOR-driven malignancies.
