SLC2A1 and neoplasm: In mouse CD8+ T cells, branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) accumulation increases cellular glycolysis and OXPHOS through FOXO1-dependent upregulation of GLUT1 level, thereby enhancing the anti-tumor immune function of CD8+ T cells., while BCAA supplementation also helps to improve the clinical efficacy of anti-PD-1 immunotherapy on tumors [66].
