Hyperactivation of β-catenin rewires mitochondrial fuel selection in liver cancer cells
Metabolic state is tightly linked to cell fate, and expression of the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC), which imports pyruvate into mitochondria, is a robust marker of it. The transcriptional regulators that set metabolic state, however, remain poorly defined. In the liver, {beta}-catenin is one of the determinants of metabolic zonation, and activating CTNNB1 mutations are frequent in…
