November 2022 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” The study investigated how metabolic states influenced the competition between wild-type and oncogenic mutant stem cells in the skin epidermis. Using live-imaging to track redox ratios, researchers found that wild-type cells maintained stable redox ratios despite varied cell cycle states. Both β-catenin-Gain-of-Function (βcatGOF) and Hras G12V mutations caused a drop in redox ratios, but "winner" cells in each model quickly recovered. Mass spectrometry revealed that both mutants increased oxidative tricarboxylic acid cycle flux, but differed in glycolytic flux modulation. This highlighted distinct metabolic adaptations that determined the competitive outcomes between wild-type and mutant cells.
