Ever wonder if tRNAs can regulate the identity of a cancer cell?
@HsiehLab@FredHutch postdoc @yeonsookim_phd did and discovered a single tRNA that can control lineage dependency and drug sensitivity in prostate cancer published today @Nature: https://t.co/V7FHTM0l5M
A study shows that a single tRNA helps determine if #ProstateCancer remains treatment-sensitive or becomes resistant, opening new avenues in #PrecisionOncology.

Scientists in the @HsiehLab at Fred Hutch Cancer Center found that the molecular regulator RNA—specifically tRNA, a type of RNA—may be able to influence the nature of prostate cancer cells and how they respond to treatment. Via @Newsweek https://t.co/ITulv4VYMs

What is fascinating about academia as a career is that there are certain ideas that you have been working on since you remember. The numerical optimalities of the genetic code is what drew me to biology in the first place. I ended up working on codon usage as grad student and tRNAs as a postdoc, as the language layer on top of the genetic code. And now, 25 years later, I’m still amazed by how under-explored this field remains.
So, new preprint with Vijay Ramani 🧵
tRNA Influences If Prostate Cancer Becomes Resistant to Treatment
A single tRNA can influence whether prostate cancer cells mutate and become difficult to treat with standard therapies

Exciting new study from Andrew Hsieh @HsiehLab and team, revealing how a single tRNA can influence cancer cell identity, lineage plasticity, and therapeutic resistance. Another fascinating example of how the translation control specificity plays a much broader role in cancer!
