Induction of synthetic lethality in IDH1-mutated gliomas through inhibition of Bcl-xL

Glioblastoma (GBM) cells are often characterized by the presence of the IDH1 R132H mutation and high expression of anti-apoptotic proteins. Here, the authors show that the inhibition of Bcl-xL is synthetically lethal in IDH1-mutated GBM models and that this effect is mediated by the oncometabolite,...
