A review of methionine dependency and the role of methionine restriction in cancer growth control and life-span extension

This review examines the role of methionine dependency in cancer cells and the potential benefits of methionine restriction in cancer growth control and life-span extension. The review highlights that cancers exhibiting methionine dependence can be targeted by reducing methionine availability, either through dietary changes (e.g., vegan diets) or methionine-depleting therapies

Methionine Restriction and Cancer Biology

This review discusses the potential benefits of methionine restriction as a therapeutic approach in cancer treatment. It explains how reducing methionine intake inhibits cancer cell growth by limiting methylation, polyamine synthesis, and glutathione formation, all critical processes for tumor growth. Methionine restriction may enhance the efficacy of chemotherapy and offers

Combination Methionine-methylation-axis Blockade: A Novel Approach to Target the Methionine Addiction of Cancer

This review discusses the potential benefits of combining methionine restriction with methylation-axis blockade to target methionine addiction in cancer cells. By inhibiting methionine metabolism and blocking methylation processes, this approach reduces tumor growth and enhances the effectiveness of existing cancer treatments. The combination strategy holds promise for improving cancer therapy,

Exploiting methionine restriction for cancer treatment

This review explores the potential of methionine restriction as a therapeutic strategy for cancer treatment, particularly for tumors dependent on methionine. It discusses how methionine restriction, either through dietary changes or enzymatic depletion (e.g., methioninase), inhibits tumor cell growth, especially in cancers with methylthioadenosine phosphorylase (MTAP) deficiency. The article also
