Abstract Cancer cells experience an increase in oxidative stress. The pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) is a major biochemical pathway that generates antioxidant NADPH. Here, we show that transketolase (TKT), an enzyme in the PPP, is required for cancer growth because of its ability to affect the production of NAPDH to counteract oxidative stress. We show that TKT expression is tightly regulated by the Nuclear Factor, Erythroid 2-Like 2 (NRF2)/Kelch-Like ECH-Associated Protein 1 (KEAP1)/BTB and CNC Homolog 1 (BACH1) oxidative stress sensor pathway in cancers. Disturbing the redox homeostasis of cancer cells by genetic knockdown or pharmacologic inhibition of TKT sensitizes cancer cells to existing targeted therapy (Sorafenib). Our study strengthens the notion that antioxidants are beneficial to cancer growth and highlights the therapeutic benefits of targeting pathways that generate antioxidants.

Excessive accumulation of oxidative stress is harmful to cancer cells. Our study demonstrates the important roles of a pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) enzyme, transketolase (TKT), in redox homeostasis in cancer development. We highlight the clinical relevance of TKT expression in cancers. We also show that TKT overexpression in cancer cells is a response of Nuclear Factor, Erythroid 2-Like 2 (NRF2) activation, a sensor to cellular oxidative stress. TKT locates at an important position that connects PPP with glycolysis to affect production of antioxidant NADPH. Our preclinical study shows that targeting TKT leads to elevation of oxidative stress, making cancer cells more vulnerable to therapeutic treatment, such as Sorafenib. Using TKT as an example, our study suggests that targeting enzymes for antioxidant production represents a direction for cancer treatment. Cancer cells experience an increase in oxidative stress.
