Oncogenic PIK3CA mutations reprogram glutamine metabolism in colorectal cancer

Cancer cells rely on glutamine to replenish the TCA cycle. Here, the authors show that oncogenic PIK3CAmutations drive this metabolic rewiring in colorectal cancer cells by up-regulating glutamate pyruvate transaminase expression, thus increasing sensitivity to glutamine starvation.
