SOD1

Overview

SOD1 (Superoxide Dismutase 1) encodes an antioxidant enzyme that converts superoxide radicals to hydrogen peroxide. SOD1 was identified as a secondary synthetic lethal candidate in a DDR screen in FBXO7-deficient colorectal cancer cells, related to oxidative stress management.

Alterations observed in the corpus

  • Identified as a secondary synthetic lethal candidate in the DDR screen in FBXO7-deficient CRC cells (oxidative stress management pathway) PMID:36334560

Cancer types (linked)

  • CRC: assessed as potential SL target in FBXO7-deficient tumors PMID:36334560

Co-occurrence and mutual exclusivity

Therapeutic relevance

  • Potential synthetic lethal vulnerability in FBXO7-deleted CRC; not the primary candidate (CHEK1 was prioritized) PMID:36334560

Open questions

  • Functional role and therapeutic utility of SOD1 inhibition in FBXO7-deleted CRC requires further investigation.
