Preclinical study demonstrates phosphocreatine-driven BRD2 stabilization accelerates glioblastoma stem cell growth, highlighting a metabolic therapeutic target.
Supplementary Figures S1 shows that GSCs produce high levels of phosphocreatine through upregulating CKB. Supplementary Figures S2 shows that ZEB1 promotes CKB transcription in GSCs. Supplementary Figures S3 shows that knockdown of CKB impedes GBM growth. Supplementary Figures S4 shows that disruption of phosphocreatine production impedes GBM growth. Supplementary Figures S5 shows that cCr treatment shows no side effect on mice. Supplementary Figures S6 shows that phosphocreatine binds to BRD2 and inhibits its ubiquitin mediated proteasomal degradation. Supplementary Figures S7 shows that phosphocreatine promotes chromosome segregation and GSC proliferation through BRD2 mediated transcription. Supplementary Figures S8 shows that disruption of phosphocreatine biosynthesis by cCr improves JQ1 therapeutic efficacy in GBM.
