Inhibition of choline metabolism in an angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma preclinical model reveals a new metabolic vulnerability as possible target for treatment.

Description

Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) is a malignancy with very poor survival outcome, in urgent need of more specific therapeutic strategies. The drivers of malignancy in this disease are CD4 follicular helper T cells (Tfh). The metabolism of these malignant Tfh cells was not yet elucidated. Therefore, we decided to identify their metabolic requirements with the objective to propose a novel therapeutic option.
