摘要
The transcription factors p53 and MYC are often considered non-druggable targets, but their dysregulation can generate new dependencies and treatment opportunities in cancer cells. The p53 and MYC-regulated squalene epoxidase (SQLE) has been identified as a potential Achilles heel in colorectal cancer. This is of great interest because the FDA-approved anti-fungal SQLE inhibitor Terbinafine could be repurposed to treat colorectal cancer patients.
