Abstract

Mutations in isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) characterize most adult low-grade gliomas. Mutant IDH1 catalyzes production of the oncometabolite 2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG). We recently discovered that the IDH1 mutation also reprograms pyruvate metabolism in a 2-HG-dependent manner, and reprogramming of pyruvate metabolism is essential for cell proliferation in mutant IDH1 glioma cells.
