Rac1 activates non-oxidative pentose phosphate pathway to induce chemoresistance of breast cancer

Acquired resistance to chemotherapy can lead to multi-drug resistance and poor prognosis in cancer. Here, the authors show that Rac1 increases glycolysis and non-oxidative pentose phosphate pathway activity leading to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) resistance, thus its inhibition sensitizes resistan...
