Inhibition of serotonin biosynthesis suppresses tumor growth in vivo
-
" TPH1 is highly expressed in SBNETs and many cancer types. TPH1 knockdown cells and telotristat treated cells showed similar growth rates as control cells in vitro . However, TPH1 knockdown cells formed smaller tumors in vivo and tumors were less vascularized. Although Tph1 inhibition with telotristat showed no effect on tumor cell growth in vitro , Tph1 inhibition reduced tumor formation in vivo . Serotonin inhibition in combination with other therapies is a promising new avenue for targeting metabolic vulnerabilities in NENs."
