Targeting SWI/SNF metabolic vulnerabilities in cancer

Abstract

The SWI/SNF (Switch/Sucrose non-fermentable) complex is a key epigenetic regulator that is conserved across different species. While its functions as a gene expression regulator have been widely characterized, new evidences suggest that it can act as a fundamental modulator of metabolic pathways both in physiological and pathological processes. In this review, we summarized the most recent literature addressing molecular interactions involving members of the SWI/SNF complex and metabolic pathways. We focused on how genetic
