SDHB deficiency silences ABCB1 expression and confers therapeutic vulnerability across multiple cancer types

Qianjin Guo, Anzel Zhen, Brooke E Howitt, Justin P Annes

This study identifies ABCB1 silencing in SDHB-deficient cancers and shows that vincristine improves progression-free survival in SDHB-mutant PPGL patients.

Succinate Dehydrogenase-Deficient Cancer Cells Have Increased Susceptibility to Ym155 Induced DNA Damage

Qianjin Guo, Sooyeon Lee, N. Armstrong, Brian Lim, Rebecca C. Schugar, David Tomz, Haixia Xu, Anzel Zhen, Leor Needleman, Electron Kebebew, Justin P. Annes

This paper shows SDHB-deficient cancer cells are more sensitive to Ym155-induced DNA damage due to impaired DNA repair and succinate accumulation.
