Targeting FROUNT with disulfiram suppresses macrophage accumulation and its tumor-promoting properties

The cytoplasmic protein FROUNT can bind to chemokine receptors and enhance chemokine signalling. Here, the authors show that inhibiting FROUNT in macrophages either by knockdown of the gene or using the anti-alcoholism drug disulfiram, results in a reduction in tumour growth.
