Excited to share our preprint where we identified impaired mitochondrial metabolism as a driver of epithelial plasticity and primary tumor escape in metastasis. This was a big collaboration with lots of people from VUMC as well as the NCI!

Happy to share @enarner preprint on mitochondrial metabolism and kidney cancer metastasis--This ongoing project started with @KimrynRathmell using patient data to show inhibition of oxphos promotes EMT and primary tumor escape. Great work Emily! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

If you’ve made it this far in my tweet, come check out my poster tomorrow between 2-5pm! I’ll be presenting my post-doc work about a metabolic switch we identified that controls tumor cell metabolism and metastasis in kidney cancer. Come see me in Section 12, board 24!

#UTSW scientists have discovered a mechanism that promotes metastasis in pancreatic, breast, and potentially other cancers along with a new druggable therapeutic target to block it. @brekkenlab @scisignal bit.ly/4ggudoJ

Studying the mechanisms of #EpithelialToMesenchymal transition, researchers investigated the kinase AKT and identified a pathway centered on TBK1 required for EMT and metastatic spread in pancreatic cancer in mice. @UTSWCancerBio @brekkenlab @enarner scim.ag/41KOxea

Brekkenlab@brekkenlab·17 Ara

@enarner Dina and Jill are outstanding scientists who really did an awesome job pushing this through.

It’s finally out!! It’s been 3 years since I graduated with my PhD from UTSW, but my last first-author paper from grad school and the culmination of my thesis work has finally been published in @scisignal!! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

@JMarkedCooper @brekkenlab Thanks @JMarkedCooper! There’s lots of ways this pathway can be targeted for the treatment of metastasis. I hope they can make a difference!

@enarner @brekkenlab Congrats, @enarner and @brekkenlab ! Excited to see your work on TBK1 out in press...may it lead to more advances and help for patients! God bless!

Thanks to Rolf and everyone in the @brekkenlab for not giving up and pushing this out the door! Especially Dina and Jill! I’m extremely grateful to the whole crew and glad to see this out there!

We found that TBK1 activates the specific AKT isoform, AKT3, to drive stability of EMT transcription factors for subsequent EMT and metastasis!

For a PhD student, choosing a good lab is 10 times more important than choosing a particular topic to study

So excited to be here @uvaurology ! And very thankful for the incredible OR staff, nurses, residents and faculty colleagues that I get to work with here!

Congrats to @may_alley on her first #nephrectomy with us! She and Dr. Tella earned those smiles! (P.S. That frowny kidney emoji is a pretty good representation of what they removed, because trust us... that kidney was NOT happy.) #uvaurology #streamteam #urologiconcology
